Summer Shopping

I need to find a hobby. I really do. i feel like my life is about work , work and work and I have nothing to look forward too. I almost give up on my study since I am always tired and just want to sleep. I need cheap hobby.

I have been doing good on shopping and eating out. I decided that I will only shop once a month and I will only buy an item that I really really like and that I can wear them over and over again. Enough with cheap stuffs. Talking about hot summer items. I have been searching and looking for leather sandles. I saw some on polyvore and urbanoutfitters.com and I must say that they are more affordable than I expected. Here are some of them.

Moving is almost here!

I have been busy packing and cleaning my apartment for the last week since we are moving to a new place not far from the old one. I am very excited since they place is super nice and bigger and the most important they have assigned parking for us. It is pretty tough living in Long Beach with 2 cars and have no assigned parking. I got over 5 parking tickets over the last 3 years and I have to park in red zone if I get home after 8 pm and have to get up around 5 am in the morning to move my car before getting a parking ticket. I can’t believe I have been putting up with this for a while and it nice to know that this issue will be end soon!

I also have been busy looking at decorating pictures on many website. I am thinking about painting the wall bright color. I found some of the ideas from the following pictures

Moving up moving out!

It has been a long week last week and short weekend for me. We went to see his friend at the Race in Fontana on Sunday and went to celebrate Mothers Day with his mom and his sister.

We went out to Koraoke Bar in K-town and stayed up till 3am. We are so tired the next day but has to get up early to visit new apartment that we are looking to nail and move in. The place is a amazing and we fell in love right away. The rent is kind of steep (double of what we are paying) but it comes with parking, pool and all amenities one person can ask for. We are moving in closer to the end of this month! I honestly can't wait.

These day all I care about it home decorating. We promise that we will be throwing lots of things away that we dont need. I am thinking about put them up for sales on Ebay.com. If time allow that is.

Shopping time!

I got them all today! I am talking about 3 pair of shoes that I ordered on Target.com. They are so cute and comfortable. I can't believe that i spent only $47 for all 3 pairs. I love the power of internet shopping!

San Diego Trip

We decided to take a mini trip to San Diego to get away from LA and work for a bit. We stayed at our usual Best Western Beach View Lodge in Carlsbad and had a great Friday night having bar foods and enjoying beer at this outdoor diner right by the beach and watch the Sun Set. We then went back to the hotel and stayed in hot tub for a bit. After that we walked to the town center and enjoyed outdoor jazz music along with hot cocoa and gossip magazine.

On Saturday we went to infamous San Diego Zoo and enjoy the company of cute and smelly animals. We had a great time there and got a little bit of sun burn. We also stopped by Carlsbad Outlet on the way back to the hotel. I did not find anything that I like except these purplish MAC lip gloss and eye shadow. I think I will be using them more often than I thought. For dinner we went to Cuban restaurant on 101 route call AZAFRAN. The food, the live music and the Sangria were great. We over estimated ourself and had left over food and could not even walk back to the car. It was sure a great dinner and we would go back there again.

Sunday night we got up early and headed out to Downtown San Diego Gas lamp District and watched RED BULL air race show right by San Diego Bay. It was a chilly day and the Sun seem to be hiding behind the cloud all day. We left the race at around 3 and had lunch right in downtown San diego at Maryjane's cafe and then we headed back to LA. When we got home, our bunny jumped with joy! we miss him a whole bunch!

For work?

I have been working with the same company for about a year and several months and I remember that our dress code is business casual. I panicked and decided to dress a little bit more professional. I have closet full of casual clothes but I don't even own one matching suit. My goal for this month is to own one...shopping time is coming up!

I wore this outfit to work the other day. I think it is kind of trendy casual....my coworkers said it looks business casual enough for work.what do you think?

Vest : Vintage. Got it from Brooklyn NY
Top: H&M
Skirt: bubble vintage skirt
Tights: Target
Booties: Delias.com

Should I get them?

I saw these 2 skirts and a shirt on Redoute and I just can't pass them on because they are so cheap. What do you think? Should I get them?

ZARA BOOTS

I watched Sex in the City last night and it reminded me of how much I want to move to NYC. OH NY NY!
I just won this really cute gray ZARA boots on Ebay.com the other day. I work up at 8 AM on sunday morning to participate in the bid. It went smoothly until last min someone outbid me. I have to act quick (and thank you to my babe's fast acting laptop) I won the bid by 1 dollar! I am a lucky girl and I can't wait to wear them!

Shopping Online

Since it has been so hot lately, me and my bf decided to stay home and go to the mall to take advantage of free air conditioner this weekend. I decided to do some shopping online. We are getting a tax release money in about a week or so (I should get about $600), we decided we will be good citizens and spend some money.

I order these really cute shoes from Target.com and they are all on sale. I went to the store itself and tried on some of them to make sure the size is right. Come to my surpise..I am a size 8 1/2 and not 8!! Target has a very great return policy though, so I am worry about not fitting into them. They are offering free shipping right now if you spend $50 on certain dept. With coupon and free shipping and plus taxes, my total comes out to $49. Yippy!

Summer is here?

I hate Summer and this weekend is one hell of a weekend. Santa Ana wind blew over Los Angeles (and Long Beach) all weekend and I am melting. It has been so hot since Thursday and I just been drinking water and taking a shower 2 times a day (I know and I hate doing this since I am wasting water but If not I am going to jump of the building!!).

Since this weekend is so hot, I decided to use my new H&M black skirt as a dress and show of my cute leopard cami or and also my new pimp hat and new belt! Sorry for the blurry picture. I did it on purpose.

Fashion Time/New items!

It has been over 4 months that I feel inspire to sit down and make some assories for Tasp Project store. This weekend is finally is the weekend that I feel obligate to sit down and make something happen. Tada!! I made two new earrings to add to my store. I would call it polka dots of the Summer 2008. Like them?



















I also just got his hat in the mail yesterday. I order it on URBN.com and I also order another hat in brown in different style. I am a hat freak and I can't help it. I stop going crazy on purses and bags about 2 years ago and now I am into shoes and hat...I am a trouble soul...
