Look: Dress N' Boots

Miss Selfridge dress, Kohl's vest and belt, random boots from Marshall's, F21 bag

On Cielo's last day with us, we went to get cupcakes in the Marina. It was a beautiful day in San Francisco.. I guess they got the memo that it was summer too late? The dress and boots I wore were perfect together that day, and I received many stares from girls who passed by me - what? haven't you seen a girl wear boots with a dress before? Oh Marina girls... Anyway, the boots were an awesome find at Marshall's - they were the first thing I saw on my hunt for some long, ugly skirts. And surprisingly light and comfortable. I'm addicted and have been wearing them with pretty much everything.

Heroics: A sneak peak

Last Saturday, I went to visit Devon's newly opened design studio/screen printing/store. I was so happy and proud to see how much he had accomplished. I still remember him selling tees out of his dorm room back at USF, and now he has his OWN store. It's great to see him come this far. I ended up being his assistant for the day, and it was really awesome to see his process.

_ A look inside the store - he was still setting up and you can kinda see the awesome screen printing machine in the back.

_ He was in the process of creating some tees for the production/rap group 1500 (who are an INCREDIBLE group of producers that have created so many hit songs that everyone knows and sings along to.. You may have heard of a lil song called "Billionaire" by Travi McCoy?).

_In that last shot he was making a special 1500 tee for me - for helping him out that day, woohoo!

All in all, my visit was unexpectedly productive. Check his stuff out at www.heroicsclothing.com. (I'm pretty much wearing out the Burnout Hoodie - one of my faves from his collection)

Can't wait to go visit again.

Look: Not Too Shabby

Shabby Apple dress, f21 belt and earrings, Aldo shoes and bag

This post is loooong over due. I won this gorgeous Shabby Apple dress about a month ago from a contest hosted by the lovely ladies at AsianCajuns. I fell in love with the color and frilly drapes across the chest. It's so classy yet modern, and the material is so soft! It also reminded me that I do own something other than boots, so I busted out my peep toe pumps last worn on my birthday. Irwin says this dress looks like a Maria Clara dress because of the sleeves. I think this is better.

Look: Head Wrapped

Levi's jeans, AA top, VS bandeau, Mossimo shoes, F21 headband and backpack, random jewelry and hawaiian bracelets

The Pistahan Festival was today, so we went to celebrate all things Filipino. Enjoyed the food, the music, the performances, and best of all, seeing a swarm of Filipinos together in one place. Not that it's lacking here in the Bay, but its just nice to see a festival that celebrates Filipino culture... I'm so Pinay.

Pika

puppy love. no pictures of mochi. she can't stay still when pika's around.

Fun Fun Fuuuuun!!

Went to the Giants game last week for our company's annual "Day at the Ball Park". Awesome times, and apparently the newest boy band emerged. Followed by a trip to Vegas for my nieces' combo birthday party and to visit the bff. Board games and St. Germaine, didn't know how competitive my cousin was against her own bff's, but good times were definitely had and I wish it didn't end.

business and pleasure

had to go to LA for a quick work trip, stayed with the fam, enjoyed the fam, the food, the heat, and the dogs.

- took a picture of the toy soldiers my manager thought would look cool on the dashboard. amazing that it didn't melt in the hundred degree weather.

- my brother's dog Pika likes to sit behind your neck in the car, it was awkward at first, but she was so cute I tried my best not to move or bother her - she caught me mid-smile.

- my brother refuses to take a decent picture with me.

- Pika sitting on my brother's lap in the car. she falls asleep so fast.
