Being a girl is more work than anything when trying to look gorgeous. Since I was young, my mother and I have always been creative in our beauty routines. We’d often squeeze out tea bags or slice up cucumbers and place on our tired eyes, which worked remarkably well to bring back that sparkle. We’d sit for hours chatting while doing each other’s nails and hair. While I love getting lost at Sephora, spas and beauty departments, it can get costly purchasing different products. I love discovering different tips and tricks that aren’t ... Read more...

Casual Weekend Style
On the weekends I opt for a casual weekend style, especially when I am going to be out and about running errands. The weather lately has been absolutely gorgeous allowing me to wear shorts on the weekend. I luckily scored the last pair of Marimekko for Banana Republic shorts, days after the launch, by begging my local Banana Republic at the Stanford Shopping Center to pull the shorts out of the window display (thankfully they were in my size!)

Anyhoo, on Sunday I had a friend from SF come down for the afternoon so I used the opportunity to try out some spots I've been meaning to try in Palo Alto. We brunched at Mayfield Bakery & Cafe, then grabbed ice cream at Tin Pot, and finished by enjoying the sunny 95+ degree weather! I chose to wear my vintage crochet dress that was given to me by my aunt from New York. It looks very ... Read more...
SF Event: Joie + Nars
Last Thursday night I attended the Joie + Nars event in San Francisco hosted at Joie on Fillmore Street with fellow fashion bloggers, Juila & Nichole. Anytime I have an excuse to drive up to the city for some shopping and pampering (getting glam'd up included) I am all there! I absolutely love Joie clothing and Nars makeup so this event was a no brainer, had to make it, under no circumstances was I going to miss it, kind of event. Here are some pics, taken with my iPhone, to give you a little taste of the goodness. I ... Read more...
