Foodie Friday!

Senor Fish
Got lunch at Senor Fish the other day because the boyfriend was craving some fish tacos. We can always count on Senor Fish for a good fresh lunch. I got the seafood quesadilla which has cheese, shrimp, scallops, imitation crab meat, guacamole, and salsa on it. It was just what the doctor ordered! The quesadilla was humongous!! If you want a big and filling lunch, this is probably a good option! I think all of their portions are pretty big actually, I remember the burrito being really filling as well. 



Valentine's Day Dinner at Shogun
The boyfriend decided to surprise me for dinner last night and wouldn't tell me where we were going. Turns out it was Shogun, a teppanyaki joint. It's where you sit around a flat-top grill with other people and someone cooks for you and does awesome tricks! I've only been to one once in my life and it wasn't very good, so I never went back, but this time was pretty good. We ordered steak and chicken and the seafood option to share. This came with soup salad, appetizers, rice, the meats, and lobster, shrimps, and scallops. OH! AND DESSERT. I know, sounds like a lot...Well, let me tell you that IT WAS! I was super full. And our cook was so funny and witty. Turns out, he was Vietnamese too!

Recap of My Christmas




I hope you all had an amazing Christmas with your friends and family. I had the best time celebrating with all of my loved ones and had delicious food to the point of severe and extended food coma! Here's a recap of my holiday weekend in pictures. Stay tuned for my New Year's Eve looks! It might be up a little late because I haven't had time to shoot pictures and edit them, but they'll be up before New Year's Eve for sure!

Holiday Party Looks!

Happy Holidays everyone! I have been trying to figure out what to wear for my holiday parties and I wanted to put in "Christmas-y touches" into these outfits just to be more festive and show my holiday spirit. From hints of sparkles, reds, and greens, I was able to come up with these three ideas! I hope you like them and find some inspiration for your own outfit!

Love you all and I hope that your holidays are full of fun and love!

Casual Metallics
This outfit is more of what I'm going to wear to a holiday party. I love being casual and comfortable, so I used a metallic ivory top that adds a small hint of fun and sparkle. In certain lights, I'll be GLOWING! :) It's been cold so booties and blazers are my best friends right now! And, I love wearing beanies in the Winter because  I feel like it gives you a bit of edge to your style, so I'm wearing my light grey beret/beanie.

Dressy Embellishment
I bought these jacquard shorts just last week at Forever21 and my boyfriend was wondering why I was buying shorts in the Winter. I'm thinking, WHY NOT?! My reasoning is that we live in LA and it's never really really cold here and I love the shimmery finish and pretty floral embellishments on it! Who could resist?! With this outfit, I wanted it to be slightly more dressy and fun, so I played with a hue of green and I paired it with my shorts with it's perfect shimmery finish! My white leather blazer with the black lapels makes it slightly more edgy rather than super soft and feminine.

Flirty Red 
Who could resist this Winter's most popular color? Deep red! I saw this dress on Asos during their Black Friday sales and knew that I had to have it! There's mesh and a bow design on the front with a fun girly full skater skirt. It didn't come in petite sizes so I had to take it to the tailor's for some alterations. The skirt was pretty long and hit me somewhere slightly below my knees. I don't want to look frumpy and shorter than I already am, so my tailor cut it so that it was a couple of inches above my knees. Paired with my sparkly strappy heels and you have the most holiday appropriate outfit EVER! 
I know that it might be much colder everywhere else, so if you want to wear this, add some black tights and black pumps with a dressy blazer or coat over it. PERFECT!

Holiday Gift Ideas


Happy Holidays everyone! Just thought I could throw out some ideas for gifts since most of us are scrambling around still trying to figure it out. You pretty much only have about a week and a half left before Christmas, so you gotta get on it! Most websites are offering cheap or even free shipping and promise to get you your packages by Christmas! So take advantage of it and try to order or buy your things soon! You still have to take into account time for wrapping the gifts. So stressful, I know.

Recap of my Thanksgiving Weekend

Hi lovelies! I hope everyone had a wonderful and long Thanksgiving weekend! I know I had an amazing time pigging out and spending time with my friends and family. Luckily, we had our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday night instead of Thursday, because I definitely needed that extra time to prep the food and my house for our 30 guests! I know right? 30 people? But it turned out great and I couldn't have asked for more!

I also accompanied my roommate from college to San Diego on Saturday and Sunday to support her and do her hair/makeup for her and her fiance's engagement photos. So we had a mini-getaway and spent some quality time with our friends down there. AND we ate our hearts out the whole weekend! San Diego, why do you have such delicious food?!!

Anyways, here are my Instagram pictures from the past few days! Enjoy!
