Urban Summer

Updated: On my life

Yes, another update on my lack of blog post and haven't taken a backseat on this whole blogging sphere. There has been a tumultuous of silence or uproar of silence however you interpret it. Now my creative focus for the time being have shifted to graphic design. Not that my love for fashion has been lost but my creativity has shifted elsewhere.

Most recent adventure in Vegas a mini vacation.

Anti-Coachella outfit.

 

top Urban Outfitter, bow tie handmade, suede shorts Forever 21, belt vintage, purse Zara, shoes unkonwn.

 

Am I the only one left in the United States who thinks Coachella fashion is no fashion. I see all these viral social article and photos of "fashionable" people all I see are ugly jeans short with tacky pocket lining fraying out. With the exception of certain celebrities who were better dress. On top of it none the jeans shorts fit them properly. I am highly tempted to get my jeans short and burn it.

Barney.

Bloom green and red for me.

silk bloomer pants vintage, strip shirt Zara, belt vintage leather, shoes Emma Hope.

Tranquility.

pants Zara,  shoes Puma Mihara, purse Paul Frank Elvis edition

What can I say about 2012, it is best summed up and depicted by the above image. The ghost of 2011 isn't hanging at the thread of  my coat and besieging a trail of unwarranted situations. I'm living life free of other people shortcomings. Life is beautiful and exactly where I want to be.

My personal favorite blog photos yet to date.

I love photography and capturing the mood and essence of our beautiful life. Moments we wish we can put in a bottle and open for a drink of refreshment. Who needs the fountain of youth and life would be invaluable and mundane if eternity was a choice.

top self-made, dress Urban Outfitter

I am in the chiffon, sheer, silk, and like-silk anything clothing these days. It feels right for the mood and the weather. I personally made this top myself and is available for sell on etsy at a very reasonable price. I love summer too bad it's being chased away by fall.

Alien back on land.

A day at Alvarado Street

jacket American Apparel, dress 1982, sunglasses HM, shoes Zara, bag boutique in Spain

As the photo suggest, yes, I had something in my mouth, burritos and fresh horchata. Yummm, but King Taco still has a special place in my heart. I heart my King Taco. Anyhows, I love this shade of blue on my American Apparel cardigan it mixes and matches well practically everything in my closet.

Do not let my small frame fool any of you. I've rock climb on the real at Joshua Tree and I don't mean the fake plastic rock located within a yuppie community. I wish I can find my photo of moi at the top of the mountain.

Uptown girl

Zara jacket, self-made dress, shoes somewhere from Italy. lol

Currently, one of my few favorite shopping area, downtown Los Angles. Yeap, you got it I am a material scavenging, trinkets galore, bargain type of girl, and ta-da equal to a perfect outfit. In my world at least, I dislike over-the-top trendy and believe the little details bring out the outfit. Tres chic NOT tres fool.

A wonderful lunch with Ken at Jazz Cat, hot pot. I am love with this place and love the new location and decor.

Always wanted a garden since I do not have a backyard. It was nice to see some greenery and colorful lowers at Home Depot. If you're wondering why I was there! lol I went to pick up a new rod to installed curtain (I made) in my room.

Barcelona rocks my world.

Montserrat

First and foremost, reality sucks being back in the States given that I had a glorious time in Spain. The weather and timing could not have been more perfect, plus the sunsets at 9PM. My friends and I went to the Picasso museum, Casa Batillo Gaudi museum, Montserrat monastery, Catedral de Barcelona, the fountain at Placa d'Espanya, and the obligatory tour bus. Only to mention a few the rest draw a blank right now.

Las Ramblas

What I love most about the Spain is siesta which allowed us the time to visit tourist attractions during the day, take a nap, leisurely prep for late dinner or tapas, go to a bar, and hit up a nightclub. I got back home around 5am almost every night I was there. Except Saturday, I partied until the sunrise and return to the flat around 8AM. Partying in LA bonks and no wonder no one visits us all we got is the Hollywood walk of fame!

Say a little prayer for me.

Masquerade shop on Princesa.

I live for moment like these.

Why can't my window and light fixture look like this?

Casa Batllo

Couples on the beach at 5am when I was still at the night club.

Cause it feels better...

A day of indulgences and gluttony at its worse in all forms that comes to mind.


After hitting the mall we feast on Home all batter up in butter it's was a one time deal. My heart has stop since than haha. Next time I'll come back for drink it has such a nice relaxing environment and outdoor patio.


Look how happy the food made me I'm glowing after eating and talking out heart out. BTW, my all time favorite Zara shirt.

Wine and dessert after Home I love this place the vibe and low-key vibe.
