This is SO adorable. How could you ever eat something this pretty?? These super cute Pantone confections were made by 26 year old French baker Emilie. Her entire blog is just scrumptious!

this just made my day

These past two weeks I took a break from everything including blogging in order to clear my head. In short, 2011 was one heck of a year as it really shook my world and fundamentally changed me and I am so glad and relieved that it is finally over. I am really excited and nervous about what this new year will bring for my life, my studies, my friends and loved ones. Those who have been with me from the beginning probably know by now that I am a person who dislikes drastic change. I've been blogging for about four and a half years or so and the layout of my blog has not changed a bit so it speaks for itself. This year I know I want to go in a new direction with everything in my life so expect some slow & steady changes but my mantra will continue to stay the same: I only blog about what I like.

I know it's late but here's to 2012.

Cheers!

I had my last exam today. I'm really more than just tired right now.

A steaming mug of hot chocolate and those lovely tasseled earrings from The Row!

Usually I get sort of miserable when the weather becomes exceptionally chilly. Today was such a day in the sense that it was probably the last day I could sensibly wear my Chucks outside while still feeling my toes. Sad day. Bought a super soft, black acrylic scarf (go figure) to counter the cold. Bring on the holiday cheer!

sleep, traffic & palm trees

Was rummaging around my "LA" photo folder on my desktop and decided to post these pics. I love and I am terrified of the palm trees in Los Angeles- they look like toothpicks swaying in the wind. I don't know if you've ever been to Mel's Drive-In but they make a MEAN chocolate milkshake. So good.

can this be my new uniform, please?

PRETTY PLEASE?!

I totally flipped out when I saw this Rag&Bone outfit compilation. Loose ponytail+ fall fedoras+ belted multi-palette pants+ suede booties+ loose tee shirts= get into my wardrobe now!!!

Nowadays I'm sorta obsessed with chunky platforms/heels with thin ankle straps. Cynthia Rowley's resort 2012 shoe collection has great citrus shade options of open toe pumps, gladiator sandals & wedge platforms. Even my nails are a terracotta orange right now.

Animal style fries + strawberry milkshake @ In n Out. Mmmmmmmmm....but probably the most sodium chloride I have ever consumed in one sitting.

Okay, I admit that it's pretty paradoxical to post a picture of Victoria's Secret gals in bikinis and....cupcakes....but I'm sure they indulge once in a while too. Plus I've added an extra image of yummy fruit smoothies so we can just include that as part of our daily fruit/veggie intake. Hehe. Let's get ready for summer gurrrrrrrrrrrls!

It's a Sunday night and I'm just reminiscing over the last couple of days and about what this following week will bring. The amount of junk food I ate over this weekend is unfathomable. Just thinking about it is making me nauseous again. Hope you had an exceptionally good weekend everybody, mine was a total blur because it went by so quickly. Sometimes you gotta go with it and live life in the fast lane.

Saturday I went out for late night waffles and it was just THE best. Nothing beats carbs past midnight! I woke up really late today and now I'm just planning on staying in with a cuppa....have no idea when I'm going to squeeze in some grocery time. Hope you enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon too. ♥

i heart waffles

Just in case you didn't know, I absolutely love eating waffles. Most willing to eat them at any time- breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, snack-time, tea-time, midnight snack time... Did you know the primary reason I'm continuing to watch season three of Gossip Girl is because of the Humphrey family waffles? The storyline is getting absurd. Oh and the fashion, of course. Waffles first but toasting marshmallows are definitely a close second.
