Cabo Revisited

I've been on traveling mode lately and it reminded me of one of the best trips this year so far. Cabo! I love that place and hope i'll get to go again. It was great to experience a different environment away from the concrete jungles of Los Angeles. This was the last day on the trip as we got breakfast from the cute little shop run by a San Diego native just following her dream to live in paradise. After picking up the last meal to go, we went back to our hotel Mar de Cortez to grab our bags and joined our driver to take us to the airport. On the way we enjoyed getting background info from the driver on where was the best authentic places to eat as well as super cheap mom and pop's which served same quality plates as all the fancy places overlooking the ocean or marina views. Well I wish we had that detail upon our arrival instead of our departure. Oh well, we loved everything we did and saw there and my knowledge can be used next time we're back! So with that, I hope you enjoy my last outfit featuring this high waisted slit maxi skirt I made!

Modified Ikat

The skirt I am wearing from Target was originally a halter dress with a beaded neckline. It was beautiful at the time I got it but I fell out of love with it since wearing it a few times. So to revive my love for it I decided to chop off the top part. I didn't care for it anymore and I thought making it a skirt would give more versatility for other outfits in the end. Also I added slits to the sides for movement and an updated look.

PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!

 I am in love with this concept! So many different versions came up while brainstorming on the idea (by myself). I won't bore you with all of them, only this one... This concept is not suitable for young girls because its suggestive graphics but I definitely think it is something fun I encourage for the mature young ladies (or young at heart) with quirky unapologetic minds. I mean, you just can't care if a few people are offended by a couple of hand prints on a shirt. But really I didn't notice any horrible looks from a single person while wearing this all around Santa Monica with people from all over the world. I live to dress another day:)

OUTFIT: sunglasses; dress barn (yep), earrings, bangle, pearl necklaces; santee alley, purse; ross, top; my print on H&M tee, skirt; H&M, wedge; citadel mall (can't remember store name, eek!)

Bulls fan, No Lie

 It's basketball bonanza today! All the big NBA teams are playing throughout the day. The game I'm for sure going to watch is the one at 2pm. The Bulls. I have to DVR it for later though because supposedly it's Christmas today and I have to be social.  No one tell me the results, please. I've become a fan since seeing one magical game Derek Rose played last season. From that moment on I have been checking if he will ever come back to play. But no, he's hurt. So here's to crazy looking Noah, Boozer, and Belinelli to put it in the basket more than the Rockettes today! About my outfit: Bulls cap, Adidas; beaded peter pan collar necklace and bracelet; santee alley; sweatshirt with a touch of me (pockets), H&M, Skirt; my creation.
