I'm loving...boat shoes.


Sperry's Angelfish Slip-on Boat Shoes. Love em! One of my best friends told me if I plan on getting boat shoes, I should get it from the actual boat shoe store, which is Sperry. I went on their site and fell in love with their shoes. The only issue now is to find the right color and style for myself! 


I really like this gray one, but I don't know for sure.


Brown ones with faux fur inside, reminds me of moccasins. 

Sperry Top-sider authentic original boat shoes. 

JustBeats Solo Headphones- Purple


Went on the Dr. Dre Beats headphones site and found this gorgeous Solo headphones in...purple! I've always known they had the Solos in white, black, and red, but never knew they had one in purple. Would I really want purple headphones? I don't even know when my purple phase exactly started. My Macbook case is also purple, now adorned with 'cool' stickers i managed to find in skate shops and random stores. These Dr. Dre headphones cost $199.95 though, and I have heard that they are kind of fragile. We shall see.

Sprinkles Cupcakes

This past weekend I went for the first time to Sprinkles Cupcakes. I have heard about their cupcakes from friends who live in Orange County for the longest time but never bothered to go. A friend took us there and we lined up for 5 minutes to get into the chic little store they have in Newport Beach. The downside is that these are considered 'designer' cupcakes and I paid $21 even just for 6 cupcakes. Tried the red velvet cupcake and thought it was not something too crazy that I would drive out to Newport again for. I definitely enjoyed the way they put the cupcakes in their environmental friendly, recycled box. Even their utensils were made out of recycled wood, super cute.

Meet My Water Bobble

One of my coworkers brought this to work today.

It is call the "Bobble" and is a reusable filtered water bottle. Basically it works like a Brita filter without having to bring the whole jug to work with you. The filter goes right under the bottle feed and only needs to be replaced after 300 fills or roughly 2 months.

This is super cool for me since I drink so much water a day and sometimes if I am on the go and there are no water fountains around I could just rely on this and refill it with water from any tap, even bathroom tap water. Just don't go filling it up with river water, you can still get sick from that because this bobble doesn't filter out living organisms.

Looks like I am going to pay a visit to Target sometime this week to purchase this for only $10 :)

Colors of the Rainbow: Golden Globe Award

This year's Golden Globe Awards we see our favorite stars sporting various colors of the rainbow. I think my favorite color on the red carpet has to be the green gowns. The color looks so eye catching and elegant. If I have a chance to I would probably try green next time I attend a dinner party.





Future home

I have always had a few items that I would love to have in my dream house. This dream house would definitely be by the beach, with a beachfront view and a gate that opens to a path of sand.

I have always wanted a bathtub such as this one, with a chandelier above it. So chic.

If I ever update the color palette of my room, I would probably choose yellow, black, and white. Right now my room is in blue, pink, and white.

Wow, leopard print carpet. I love leopard a lot but I don't love it enough to make it my carpet. Pro is that you can hide dirty carpet stains well.

Some hangover

Last night, a Thursday night only, went to a bar call T. Philips and tried their gigantic 32 oz beer mug (I think I had one and a half of those?). Not such a great idea especially because I barely had lunch at 12pm. It was yellow curry with rice from a thai place near my work that tasted very bland and the rice was so dry, that after a few bites I set it away into the fridge. Fast forward to 7pm. I was clutching onto the toilet bowl in the bar's restroom and I wished I had just forced myself to finish that curry. Glad that I have some awesome coworkers and boss to take care of me and eventually drive my drunk ass home.

I know that I will be saying "never shall I drink again"..but in a week, or even maybe tonight, I will be holding some kind of alcholic drink in my hand. Just maybe. Hopefully I will just be holding that drink for a friend. I really don't want another night of blacking out and waking up to mysterious bruises and bumps on myself anymore. we just gotta leave that stuff behind in college right?
