The past couple of weeks have flown by and I had to do some temporary life altering. It’s only for a few months though and I’ll be able to go back to my regular life. Don’t mind the cryptic! Lol.

Vegas Adventures!
This past week was my first (out of two) Vegas trips of 2013! More like I was forced to go
The bf is working in and out of Vegas and he wanted me to visit. I can’t say no to someone who misses me! Heh
Because this trip was more for us getting to see each other, I decided to be a good girl and not splurge like my previous visit. I’m still paying for my previous visit! Lol. I decided to only shop at places that I cannot shop at in HI and I stuck to it.
Zara had a killer sale. I’m not the type to spend forever in a store but I was in there for quite some time. Picked up these pieces (and waiting for two more!)…

I’m all about the leather detailing right now. I bought a navy blue with leather trim blazer (not like you can tell that its navy), leather shoulder long sleeve and Steve Madden studded toe booties.

I found these amazing Trues that have a wax coating (me and my wax coating, I know) with gold glitter in the coating and F21 stitched crosses top.

UO tank, H&M leather sleeve utility jacket and Zara gold toe booties.
Here are some photos from my Vegas IG adventures:

I’ve heard sooo many things about this spread and I had to try it. It is amazing. I wish I could describe it to you, but I can’t. Just try it!

My boyfriend have been looking every where for bred 11′s for kids and I found him a pair in LV! Now his kid collection of 11′s are back on track. Lol.

Something else I bought but forgot to take a picture of. Click here to get it!

Shopping outfit of the day. (Wearing: Topshop peplum top, Zara blazer, Frankie B denim [similar], Topshop booties [similar] and MK watch.

Funny story. I bought a “Southern Belle” red velvet cupcake to go and the bf and I went to gamble a bit. I gave him ONE job, to watch my cupcake while I go to the bathroom. I come back, find him by the ATM and no cupcake. So I went, seen, and never tasted. I must be upset about it because I keep talking/mentioning it. Lol.

I never realized how much I love cold weather! Layers for days!

Five Guys burgers are amazing! I think I love it more than In & Out!

There’s no Vegas trip without going to California Hotel to get some oxtail soup. NOM!!
Lets go 2013!
There are so many things to look forward to this year. Many people are making resolutions and plans, and I am one of them
We’re 8 days in and so far, its looking pretty great.
12 days until my vacation and I’ll be freezing my ass off at Vegas! The forever-bf interviewed for a job a few weeks ago and its looking goooood. We also might move into a new townhouse (even though I love my condo to bits). Lots of things to come this year, and I will face it, head on!

Happy Sunday, all!
There’s no place like HOME!
I’ve been back for a week and a half already and I’m slowly starting to have my work stride back. Four days of back-to-back meetings and classes kicked me in the face. I am proud to say that I didn’t sleep through them this time. I think I was much more prepared. Well, it could’ve been because I was in Texas and I have no clue what to do in TX. Lol.
I’ve been indulging a lot lately. Like I said, I’m slowly getting my stride back. Haha. Enjoy my instagram pictures! I really need to start taking outfit pictures again

The bf bought me a Godiva dark chocolate raspberry drink. So delicious!

I upgraded to a 3DS XL! This only relates to you gamers out there. Lol.

I love presents! Even more when it is food! One of my employees bought me pizza from his fiancĂ©’s working place. #specialgirlmoment

Peachy peach! The thing that I love about living in Hawaii is that the weather stays the same. So really, you can wear whatever you want, whenever you want
Don’t get me wrong, fall is one of my most FAVORITE seasons of the year, but I love mixing it up! (Wearing: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 and Koala bracelet, True Religion denim, F21 top (similar) and various bracelets and Steve Madden flats.)

Did I mention that food is the best present? Well, my co-worker bought me a Starbuck’s Salted Caramel Frappucino! Yes, they are back!

I WOULD get these “R” initialed plates
It was definitely meant to be since it matches the kitchen’s decor!

I love this neon color. Funny, because I wore this when I found those “R” initialed plates! (Wearing: Rebecca Minkoff clutch, Se7en snake print shorts (similar), Gucci belt, JC flats and F21 top.)

One of the rarest times that I will part my hair in the middle. I think it looks funny one me >_<

During my conference there was hardly ever a time where we could eat delicious foods. Honestly, the trip was exhausting. I’ve only been to a Brazilian BBQ twice, last year at Las Vegas for a conference and this year. All I have to say is, if you see a Fogo De Chao BBQ, GO! GO! GO!!
A Drafted InstaSunday!
I wrote this when I was still in Texas! I apologize for the late post!
Hey everyone! I finally have some time to blog my IG Sunday
I am in Texas but I am still on Hawaii time. It’s definitely messing up my eating pattern. One of my travel highlights was that this wasn’t the worst plane ride that I’ve had. I was actually up for about 5 hours just playing on my tablet and iPhone. Downside of my trip so far, my iPhone 4S is crazy right now. Note to iPhone 4 users: If you use headsets/phones with your iPhone, be careful! Your iPhone might think that the headphones are still in, when they are not. Because of that, you cannot listen to music, hear ringtones or texts through your speakers. GAHH! It’s really frustrating. Google it. Lol.

Going to the airport! (Wearing: Louis Vuitton wallet & 4-key holder, Frankie B. Boyfriend jeans (similar), UNIF Hellraisers flats and Levi’s tee.

The bf bought me kimchee from the kimchee store

I was so excited that Hellz Bellz featured me on their instagram! It was so unexpected @whatthehellz.

I’ve been looking for theses Peas in a Pod forever! I finally found them! Of course I would only find them in Texas :\

My first dinner in Texas. Tony Roma’s filet mignon medallions and half a rack of ribs. NOM NOM!!

Accessories of the day! (Wearing: Louis Vuitton Alma bag and MK iPad case)

Date outfit with the boy (Wearing: JC flats, True Religion shorts, Tory Burch belt, MP shirt and Louis Vuitton bag)

The bf bought me treats. I TOTALLY LOVE WHEN HE DOES THAT! These are taro glazed doughnuts. Kind of like malasadas :O* I need to go back.
When will I see a lazy day?
These past few days off consisted of me always running some kind of errand. I just want to stay home and slug around all day. I have a work thing and will be flying on Friday so I know that lazy day will not be anytime soon since I’m pretty positive that my days will be full of exciting fun things. Lol.
For now, here’s some IG updates while I go online shopping. Haha.

I cannot wait for fall so I can wear even more dark and rich colors. I’m putting my J Brand purple denim to good use! (Wearing: J Brand denim, Tarina Tarantino necklace, Balenciaga bracelet, Nordstrom top, Rebecca Minkoff MAC clutch and Nine West booties.)

Wearing frames again. Occasionally anyway.

Wearing my DIY stud shorts! Love them. (Wearing: True Religion shorts, F21 top, TB belt, Prada flats and LV purse & bracelet.)


Wearing my white J Brands for the first time and I love them! I usually only wear super low-rise but I’m beginning to love mid-rises :O* (Wearing: J Brand denim, Nordstrom top, TB belt, TB bracelet, MJ bracelet, SM loafers and MK iPad case.)

More DIY! I studded my most favorite knit blazer and True’s with skulls
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent mine working and will be off tomorrow
EXCIIITEEE!!!
IG Update & DIY Crazy!
As my previous post states, I am loonggg overdue with an IG update. I went from updating every Sunday consistently to dropping off the face of the planet. I think I will set an alarm (have I said this before?) on my iDevices.
If you follow me on instagram and/or on facebook, you’re pretty much caught up. I’ve been buying spikes, skulls, etc, from different websites to jazz up some of the things that I already have in my closet! You will see them in my pictures below
Be prepared for a long post. I haven’t updated in about a month :X
Latest to the earliest:

I bought this spiked head wrap/band a long time ago and didn’t use it all that much. Now I have the perfect excuse! Spikes with a big bun! Buy a similar one here.

I got a bunch of gold spikes so I spiked my True Religions. The bf also taught me (oh yes he did, haha) how to make these bracelets. I just went on the more creative tip and added spikes and on a gold link chain. LMK if you want one, I’ll be selling them!
