Spongebob's Baby Shower

A few weeks ago I was able to attend a baby shower for a good friend of mine from high school. I hadn't really spent much time with her or any of the people I went to HS with so I was a bit nervous. Although my nerves were unwarranted because once we were together it felt natural, almost like we were back in time :)

I was one of the first people to arrive (I'm usually ALWAYS late. lol) Since I love to take pictures I asked the Mommy to be if it would be OK if I took the pictures for the event. And she said yes. Yay! I ended up with over 200 pictures. It was so much fun!


Some of the goodies/decor set up

Close up of the sweets <3 They were all yummy

Everyone wrote their wishes or advice for the MTB on the clothes and hung them on the "clothes line". So Cute

Me playing the TP game. I didn't win anything :( and was one of the first people out on musical chairs (I even fell) lol

Mini Softball Class of 05' Reunion
Top: Me (2nd Base) Olga (2nd/Outfield)
Front: Rocio (Outfield) Priscilla (Catcher) Janet (Pitcher)

These girls are awesome and it was so good to catch up. Hope we can hang again soon (^-^)

And more details and pictures of my outfit. I wanted to "try" to look mature. lol

I ended up being dark compared to everyone with all my black. Oops (plan fail)

Dress (Marshall's) Jacket (F21) OTKs (Sock Dreams) Shoes (Shoe Dazzle)

First time I wore my hair like this. I liked it alot, especially the way the color looks with it <3
Some people thought I was wearing a head band. lol

And better view of my shoes. They are TALL. But very pin upy <3

Overall I'm glad I had this experience. I really need to put myself out there more, because you never know how things will end up but if you just never do it then nothing will ever be able to come of it. You can do it! (Sorry, trying to keep my spirits up ;P)

Outfit Post #29

Here's another short post.

I can't remember exactly what I did this day but probably just some errands and such :)

I really like this dress, it was a buy from Plato's closet when I went with my Mom and Sisters.

It kinda reminds me of The New Girl style. lol And is very versatile.

 

Dress (Charolette Russe) Top (Actually a dress - F21) Jacket (F21) Socks (Sock Dreams) Tights (Claire's)

And some other detailed shots. Lighting is kinda bad with these darker colors but hopefully you can still see it ok :)

Outfit Post #28

This is what I wore for the Saturday of Adrian's bday. We were supposed to go see Monster Trucks but alot happened and instead we went to the movies with a couple friend.

 

Was still a great night though since we got to catch up with our friends and finally got to watch a movie in the theater which has been quite a long time. lol.

The movie we watched was D'jango. It was a very good movie but had lots of blood（　ﾟ Дﾟ）

 

Top/Skirt/Jacket/Cream Socks (F21) Hair Clips/Bracelet (Hot Topic) Knee Highs (Sock Dreams)

This is one of the first outfits that I got alot of compliments on. I felt so cool (#^.^#) And it as fun mixing the different patterns. I was quite happy with the way everything came out.

I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of my style, which is an awesome feeling. Practice makes perfect so I hope I can continue to get the motivation to dress for myself on weekends.

 

Outfit Post #27

I've been really bad lately about updating this blog so I think I might just start doing quick outfit posts and keeping these short and sweet. At least until I catch up. lol

This is what I wore for us to go out to eat for Adrian's bday (His bday is Jan. 8 but we went on the 9th). We ate at his favorite restaurant Papadauex. Since it was his birthday I decided to wear all black since he really likes when I wear head to toe black. lol.

Dress/Jacket/Necklace (F21) Stockings (Sock Dreams) Socks (Tuesday Morning) Shoes (DSW - Steve Madden)

Please excuse my terrible stocking runs. The first time I wore them I ended up taking off my shoes and walking bare foot so I got a few runs on my heels and I tried to do random runs to make it look cool and instead it just looks tacky. lol. Oh well, lesson learned >-<

Hair close-up. Finally got the hang of a very simple side ponytail that I found on YouTube. Took a while to get it right but now it's easier to do and becoming one of my go to hairstyles :) I think it looks cool with my color...

Do you have a go to hairstyle you use when on a time crunch? Or are you learning any new styles? Love to hear about it...

New Years

This New Years despite us saying we were going to try to make plans, we ended up not

 (because we're big procrastinators >_<)

I did however "plan" my outfit for the night. I combined two of my loves. Stars & Rainbows <3

Unfortunately the weather didn't get my outfit memo, and it rained all day.

And since I didn't want to ruin my fabulous shoes (they're suede) I ended up not wearing it :(

Guess I'll save this outfit for a glamorous night out on the town ;P

This is what I ended up in in the end. Went more casual since we decided on a low key night.

Dress/Top/Jacket (F21) Stockings (Sock Dreams) Leg Warmers (Wet Seal)

Finally wore the skeleton stockings I bought before Halloween. I really like them now; they're so fun <3 I tried to layer up since it had been cold all week and instead it was just muggy, humid and wet. I really need to try to start checking outside before I finalize the outfit I decide to wear. lol

We ended up ringing in the New Year with Adrian's family, and I must say it was a perfect way to do so. Hung out and made lots of memories <3

Our midnight Cheers!

Toast to the New Year! May it be filled with lots of love, laughs and good people. I really feel like this year will even better than last year and I can't wait to see what it has in store for me. I didn't really make a New Year's resolution but I'm going to continue my tradition I started last year and just try to be the Me that I want to be :)  Did you make a resolution or have something you'd like to accomplish this year? Love to hear it...

Christmas Day

Christmas morning was even more hectic then I was expecting it to be. lol. We were in charge of bringing the green bean casserole and dessert (chocolate candy cane cupcakes) to my family and brownies to Adrian's family. Luckily I did the brownies and cupcakes (-the toppings) the night before.

Of course I had to wear a super Holiday-e outfit

Dress (Plato's Closet) Cardigan (Old Navy) Stockings (Sock Dreams)

We first went to Adrian's parents' to open gifts :) His mother did such a great job decorating

My Secret Santa got me Minne footie pajamas, sock monkey slip on socks and pretty stationary (which I will put to good use) :)

After we opened gifts we went to my family's get together

Got a colorful lamp from Santa this time; which I am now using at my workstation

Had a blast hanging out with my family as usual and Santa even surprised the boys and girls with a Spongebob (which actually was a pineapple) and Barbie gingerbread houses.

Little Sister helped the boys (the rest of the boys were outside playing with one of my nephew's new BB gun)

And I helped the girls. Ginger bread houses are so hard. You have to let the frame dry properly (which we didn't) before overloading it with stuff. Our's almost collapsed several times; but luckily we had enough hands to hold it together long enough to get pictures. lol

Pretty good and very colorful <3. We almost gave up (which the boys ended up doing) but kept on going. Yay! Girl Power!!

Two of my Beautiful Nieces

After we got "proof" that we finished it; we didn't waste anytime tearing it apart and eating it.

 

Later in the evening we then went to Adrian's family and ate, hung out, opened white elephant gifts and then played pictionary (which we won on a come back of 4 points. Woohoo)

 

Family, Food and Great Memories everything you need to make it a perfect Christmas.

 

Did you have a good Chistmas? Have you ever made a gingerbread house? Love to hear about it..



Christmas Eve

This year me and Adrian tried to get all our holiday and grocery shopping for Christmas done early so that we didn't have to venture out of the house on Christmas Eve. And we actually did it :)

Since we were staying in and I knew the next day we'd been running around alot, I decided to try to keep the day pretty lax. I threw on some red and green clothes and finally tried out Usagi's hair. lol

Don't think I will be using my camera for mirror pictures anymore. The phone ones come out better I think; these came out kinda weird.I have no makeup on (although I don't very often) and I need to practice teasing my hair more because I really suck at it (and these buns should be poofier). lol After I had my outfit complete I noticed that this hairstyle with this outfit didn't look very good. Hahaha. Good thing I didn't have to leave the house. Although now I put it on the internet so...

This year really went by quick; and I procrastinated alot! If you've read any of my Holiday related posts you know I love a good excuse to decorate or dress up so the fact that I didn't put up and decorations at my house might have been contributing to why this year didn't seem as festive. So on this day I decided to put up at least some of my decorations, not as much as usual but I at least got up the stockings, Christmas tree & snowflakes :)

I love my Santa picture; made it over 7 years ago. Maybe I should redo a bigger one.

I also really like my snowflakes. I made some these a few years back, but last year me and my friend Talin re-glittered them on both sides and added more. It took a while but I love how sparklely they are. I like to sit and watch the colors as they spin in the air <3

I attempted to take a picture of the sparkle but this picture dosen't do it justice

And our Charlie Brown Christmas tree (since we can't have a real one because of the cats)

Also got around to finishing the gifts I made for my nephews and niece. Zombie Pandas (in their favorite color) and Hello Kitty pins. They liked them :)

And here's a picture of all of our gifts (for other people) that we wrapped. I love wrapping paper and only bought two new rolls this year. Usually I buy more but I tried to contain myself.

We were up late (after midnight so we opened our gifts that night! Me with the gift Adrian got me. He wrapped it all by himself and did a really good job this year. He even added sunglasses to my tag so my penguin was cool :) And it was a laptop! Yay! Now I can blog on my own computer <3 (also got awesome Hello Kitty and Domo socks... I love socks!!!)

Adrian spent the day giving the dogs a haircut so when he was done we put on their holiday Pjs. They actually liked them this year (bought them a few years ago. lol)

This is Kazama . He's our first born and the baddest, but he also loves attention. lol

And this is Kiyami our sweet little girl who is also the police of the house. lol

If she know's you're doing something you shouldn't she will let you know.

I'm falling behind with my posts. Oops. But hope to catch up soon. Christmas is next :)
