... Party on!

Yes, I'm organizing one of these for Mikey.

I hope he has a slamming good time. :)

... 30 to 31

The transition from year 30 to 31 has been quite the blessing for me and my husband.
We bought our first home just after I turned 30.
We then found out we were pregnant in early 2011.
Then we celebrated our 1 year anniversary in March.

The year has been eventful with lots of time spent with family and friends, which I wouldn't trade for the world.
It was a great year.

My birthday was low key and fun filled at the same time.  Once I past my mid 20's, I preferred to keep things low key.

On Monday of my birth week, my parents and I went to UYees Sushi for some cooked sushi and tonkatsu.
On Wednesday, I went to Sushi Palace with a good friend of mine.
On Thursday, my husband and I went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.  That restaurant never disappoints me.
On Friday, we went to see Zarkana, a Cirque du Soleil show, at Radio City Music Hall.  Capped off the night with some chicken and rice from the Halal Guys at 53rd & 6th.
Saturday, we spent the entire day at childbirth class.  It was actually a very interesting class, and we both enjoyed it a lot.
And, today was spent with my family at an all you can eat Korean BBQ Buffet in our area called Picnic Garden.

As long as my birthday involves food, I'm very happy.  Anything else additional is a bonus.

31 isn't so bad so far. :)

... ribbon & flower pearl pomanders

Last year when putting decorations for our wedding, I thought the ribbon pomanders that we put together a la Weddingbee were genius, which they were.

Now, my love for ribbon pomanders have been taken down a couple of notches, and now I'm in love with these flower pomanders a la Pizzazzerie. I discovered these on Bump Smitten, who discovered them from Pizzazzerie.

VS.


Which do you fancy more?

... i'm sorry

but this made me giggle just a minute ago. LOL

... asos



Asos said it well in the email I received this morning. Why buy one bag, when you can have two? Buy one small bag and buy a large bag.

Out of all the bags that they've posted on the Shop the Trend page, I like this little green cross body and it's larger sister bag the best.

... so comfy


Toulouse Chaise

Tell me you don't want to just sit in this chair and take a nap. Wish I had room in our master to fit this chair. Beautiful piece.

... sherlock cape

While on the subject of Gryphon, I spotted this other awesome Gryphon coat on Shopbop.



I couldn't find an image of the back of this cape, but you can see the images here.

... man repeller

Another great find while reading Lucky.



The Man Repeller designed this beautiful jacket along with Aimee Cho, a designer from Gryphon.

I absolutely love A line coats, but the best part of it is the back part of the coat, which has splashes of bright gold on it. Sad to say but this jacket is sold out on Shopbop.

This jacket is so droolworthy.

... sequins part deux

As if you can't tell that I love anything and everything sequined, this Matthew Williamson dress caught my eye while reading the September issue of Lucky magazine.


Buy me!

Isn't she a beauty?

... pretty sequins

Back in 2005 when hubby and I started dating, we had taken a trip out to San Francisco. This was my first trip with a boy (lol), and I couldn't wait to partake in everything that San Francisco had to offer.

We had met up with a pen pal of mine (my mother's college classmate's daughter A). Her style is super unique and fashionable, and I admire it. During the one time we met up, she was wearing these cute sequins flats from Brass Plum, a line that is sold in Nordstrom.

When we came back from San Francisco, I went to scour the cheaper shoes stores in Jersey and Philadelphia for a pair of sequins flats similar to the Brass Plum ones that she had. I eventually found a really cute rainbow sequins pair at a store on South Street in Philadelphia. My feet pretty much wore out its welcome in those shoes and eventually they had to be thrown out because they couldn't last longer than the few years that I had them. Since then and recently, I've wanted to rekindle my love for sequins shoes, but can't seem to find a pair. Glitter flats seem to be more present, but not sequins flats.

I did however find these cute flats from Elie Tahari. They're so cute, but not so affordable. :(

If anyone finds sequins flats similar to these at a more affordable price, please let me know! :)

... welcome to my birth month

This is the first blog I'm posting via my mobile phone. Fun, but time consuming for my fingers. Lol :)

I want to welcome you to my birth month. I can't wait to celebrate each day by doing something special.

Can't say I did much special today except go to the dentist. Zzz. Hehe. Hope to provide you with more fun updates soon during my birth month. :)
