i miss blogging...

even though i am not the best at it, i must admit it was nice to scroll down and see my mini entries... to me my blog is a modern day photo album, its like looking though a year book, or a diary/ journal something that reminds me of what I've thought and experienced. even though i only look at it and my faithful friend Tania, it's nice to see.

I've started a new job with a ton of opportunity and responsibility. although i love it i am utterly drained. all i want to do when i get home is veg and not think... thus the lack of blogging effort.

so here's my first fall entry:

time is crazy, i can't believe its October! October is my favorite time of the year, the weather slightly changes, i can now start to wear my favorite burgundy coat, the days are shorter, coffee is sweeter, wine is better (no need for a ice cubes that i dropped in the hot summer months- please forgive me sommeliers) and i can officially listen to my most favorite album of all time the Carpenters Christmas Portrait.

over the summer i decided to do some spring cleaning in my most favorite room of my three room options- the bed room..
pathetically so i am now uploading just in time for winter.
enjoy

Moody Nails......












I got super excited when I was catching up on all my favorite blogs on Google Reader and read the clip that Refinery29 posted about Mood Nail Polish. Perfect Formula has created a beautiful line of mood nail polishes set to hit stores in June! I can not wait to own a few, I am a mega fan of mood lipstick! I am curious to see how the polishes will change colors and hopefully my mood...

Happy Town is China Town

Spontaneously this Saturday rather than running mundane errands we decided to go to China Town. It was a perfect choice, for our perfect day, it was perfectly sunny and we had a perfectly satisfying lunch at my new favorite restaurant Via Cafe. We sat and admired the tourists, saw cute little girls wearing traditional Chinese pajamas with parasols. We joined in with others and tossed coins into the wishing and even contemplated buying stink bombs. It was lovely, and I felt like a tourist myself. I had this familiar feeling that reminded me of the first time my parents drove me to Melrose. I'd never been to an area so cool; I was 13 years old barley starting Junior High in Anaheim. Melrose was exotic and was the complete opposite of what I was used to, I LOVED it! I remember thinking to myself, that as soon as I am old enough to move out of my parents house I am moving to LA. It’s pretty strange how you forget certain things, things that were so important at one time and now that i have some of those things I totally forget what it was like to fantasize about them. China Town reminded me that a small accomplishment such as moving 35 miles away is an accomplishment. I guess the point if there is one to this entry it’s to chill out and enjoy life...

Believe it or not I am camera shy, but I insisted that we capture our perfect day so here it is. I also picked up some absolute necessities such as ten small wooden clocks... I think they have been sitting in that store since the 80's doll house trend. I happily bought them and am strongly considering going back and buying the remaining 40....

Red Hot Red is Ravishing

Now that I my hair resembles caramel swirl ice cream, I long for the days of RED..... I have had almost every shade of red. I am never satisfied and always wanting a different color, this is why I am forever at my favorite salon Unity picking Denise's brain of which color to go next. In desperate times I will purchase my at home cello to tie me over until I can set up my next appointment with the chemist Denise. With red filling my head I got to thinking of all of the fabulous ladies with red hair. All of my most favorite designers have red hair Sonia, Betsey, Vivienne and then I saw September Issue Grace wowed me she sealed the deal and confirmed that Red is better!
ps.
my two MOST favorite artist are red too, Kimi and Daiquiri!
