My Christmas sweater amped up a bit. Had a long long Christmas weekend in Dallas, TX, and now I'm exhausted (as usual). Ready for the new year! 

P.S. This song has been in my head probably since I attended the show a few months ago. Enjoy.

Como la flor

During Thanksgiving weekend, I accompanied my husband John on a business trip to Corpus Christi, TX. I have only been there one other time (22nd bday celebration thanks to some 0f my best friends), but I had never experienced it with freezing cold temperatures. While he was at his meeting early in the morning, I decided to get myself a latte and go and enjoy the beautiful beach (we had a beachfront view from our hotel!) It was so peaceful and serene. I then remembered that one of my all-time favorite artists has a memorial in made her honor when she died. Who other than Selena?! I remembered I was around 8 or 9 when tragedy struck. I was one of those little girls that had choreographed dances to ALL of her songs-ALL OF HER SONGS :-) I spent a good amount of time there-just reminiscing.

Now, isn't my jacket AH-mazing?! I actually bought it last Fall at Storets.com due to a very inspiring blogger Chiara from TheBlondeSalad.com.She looked so amazing sporting this baby that she totally convinced me. I was also very into the Balmain power shoulder look then. Still am actually :) This jacket totally fits like a glove and I am trying really hard not to wear it with everything I own. I made the mistake of "hiding" it in the back of my closet last year and totally forgot all about it once the cold weather came along. Not making that same mistake this year!

Giving Thanks

So this was my Thanksgiving Day outfit. It was quite a long, long day that day. The weather was actually bearable that day and my parents in law have such a pretty garden growing in their back yard that I decided to make it my backdrop. These leave were all over the grass while I was taking pictures so I decided to incorporate them into the shoot. I think a real detailed drawing of this kind of leaf would look so pretty as a tattoo. BUT, that's just me. I really dig expression through art. What do you all think?

Easter Weekend

 

This was the beginning to my Easter weekend: dinner at Musashino Dokoro with delicious fried crabs and sushi rolls. This was a pretty random weekend. We were supposed to go to The Capital of Texas Zoo, but that didn't work out as we planned for whatever reason.

I need some carne asada. Yum.

Top, skirt, and belt: thrifted

Film Noir for V-Day

 

I have become more and more intrigued with photography these last couple of months. Especially now that I have a new camera with new tricks, it has taken over me. My favorite era has always been the 1940's-1950's. Everything was so beautiful back then-a different kind of beauty. The kind that you rarely see anymore. I decided to recreate the idea of that time when film noir was very popular. I think I would have forced myself to be an actress back then if this was the kind of film that was around. I dedicated it to today-Valentine's Day. The day of "commercialism" & overbooked restaurants, but most importantly, love. I tried to express it in my own unique ways.

Enjoy.
