motivation

Haha, this is so true.
Summer has turned me into a lazy person.

mariah carey - love story (acoustic)

Such a beautiful song...

This is dedicated to all those people
who are lucky to have a true love story.

the rainbow after the storm

I knew it would come.
It was just a matter of time.
Looks like I'll be okay after all. :)

rainy days

It feels good to be back home.

There has also been some rain here and there and it looks like it's going to continue for the rest of the week.

What a great start to summer school..

I better find my umbrella soon!

happy weekend!

Going away to a retreat with some great people this weekend. Can't wait to play my new tunes in the car. I hope that you too have a wonderful weekend filled with lots of sun, music, and happiness. Goodbye for now!

enjoying the day.

I'm promised myself this year that I will carry my camera around at all times so that I do not miss a beautiful moment.

current cravings: sushi

The thought of this makes my mouth water..

the fashion show

When I first heard about Bravo's new fashion show I wasn't interested in watching it at all. But after flipping through the channels during a commercial break I decided to give the show a try and I was quite impressed of how the first episode has caught my attention.

Just when I thought Project Runway had taken all of the fresh designers in America, The Fashion Show has gathered an even more cutting-edge bunch.

I give the designers props on their first Harper's Bazaar challenge by transforming a regular cotton black t-shirt into the iconic little black dress. My favorite dresses were designed by Johnny & Merlin. I look forward to watching Merlin and what crazy ideas he has next.

love notes

coffee fix

Current Mood: Refreshed.

This is my favorite old coffee mug that I got on sale for $3 at Hallmark! The details inside the mug are too cute.

my little cup of sweet delight...
fill me morning, noon, and night.

all done!

looking for a good read?

I could spend hours in these libraries! Aren't they beautiful? They kind of remind me of the library in Disney's Beauty & the Beast.

night out in paris

After watching the movie Ratatouille I had a sudden urge to flee to Paris, France. Wouldn't it be nice to have the luxury to fly whenever and wherever you wanted to?

If I could spend a night out in Paris I would...

feeling fancy

I saw a couple of Norman Parkinson's photos awhile back and I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful photographs he has taken.

"The only thing that gets in the way of a really good photograph, is the camera".

relaxed tanks

Summer is almost here!

I really like the way simple sketches look on relaxed tanks. It's an effortless way to look chic when you know how to pair it with the right bottoms & accessories. All these tanks can be found on forever21.com for under $13.

the perfect little black dress

What happens when you find the perfect rare black dress with only one of your size left but with a couple of defects? Should you keep it or return it?
I am too stubborn enough to return my dress because I might not find another one like it again! I'll just have to deal with fixing it up a bit.
