Disneyland style

  I finally made my way to Carsland at California Adventures this weekend and I loved it. My friend and I got there right before the park opened but we still had to wait in line for an hour for the main attraction Radiator Springs Racers. It was worth the wait though. And it was … Continue Reading

San Diego the extraordinary

I know this post consists of a random collection of photos, but there is one common theme. I decided to spend part of my last weekend in Orange County in San Diego to visit some friends and explore more of its greatness. Hopefully you can tell by my photos that I had some amazing food… … Continue Reading

Blue waves

  Today was one of those days where I couldn’t resist the urge to soak in the sun and enjoy some beautiful weather. Warm sun, slight breeze, blue ocean, people tanning, children playing. It was nice to be away from the hustle-bustle of my daily routine and be able to have time to myself, minus … Continue Reading

The Golden Gate

    Additional photos from my SF trip! I know I sound like a tourist, but I finally got a picture with the Golden Gate bridge (the pictures from when I was a 5-year-old are a bit outdated). My boyfriend took us to a semi- remote area near the ocean, where you can walk along … Continue Reading

Pride

  I’m so happy to be back in SF, especially since I happened to arrive during Pride where festivities were in full swing. There was so much to do and see near City Hall: food stands, free concerts, street vendors, and artwork like the huge inflated lotus flower above. I also got my first ever … Continue Reading

Griffith Observatory

Yesterday, my friend and I decided to drive up to the Griffith Observatory in LA to see what it was all about. We didn’t realize we parked my car at the bottom of the hill and that we had an approximately 3 mile hike ahead of us. It was tiring, but the view from above was … Continue Reading

San Diego

My friend took me around to all the hot spots in the area – Balboa Park, the Salk Institute, Hillcrest, and “the Cliffs.” An abundance of breathtaking views, delicious food, and phenomenal architecture. I had a lovely time. Hoping I can go back before … Continue Reading

Robertson Blvd.

Today, I had the pleasure of working with Japanese model Melody Yoko. She is visiting LA to shoot a TV show episode that airs in Japan to promote a boutique called Beckley. Apparently, she produced a watch that is supposed to be sold there. (from left to right: Alissa, Mizuki, Melody, and me) She’s one … Continue Reading

Sunny days

Day two of my SF trip, downtown! I love the huge Christmas trees 🙂 (sweater: Madewell; purse: Gap; boots: Dolce Vita for Target)   It was a perfect day to wear my new sweater from Madewell – it’s so warm & cozy I could probably curl up in it. Luckily, an oversized men’s collared shirt paired … Continue Reading

Back in San Francisco

I am so happy to be in San Francisco again! It’s a lot sunnier than it was in the summer- a pleasant surprise. A few things I did today: (Knit shirt: Nordstrom; scarf: Rimo; purse: Gap)   My first time going to Haight Street!  So many vintage stores and boutiques that I couldn’t even get … Continue Reading
