Fashion Friday 4/15/2011

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

Something tells me Fashion Fridays will only get better from here.

I love LA. I love being able to wear what I want, without getting weird looks ala Tri-Cities. Fur, leather, lace, rings and kitsch things fly in this city. I can’t get enough. Two boys (possibly straight) complimented my hat. Funny, in Tri-Cities the boy who sold it to me asked if I bought it for my Halloween costume…

It’s the first Friday in my new apartment, and I’m already wetting my DIY’d skirt over the abundance of photo locations. These photos took place on our bridge between buildings. I popped up my mini tripod, set the auto timer and went wild.

Where should I take photos next? The emergency exits? In front of the entryway French doors? By the old brick fireplace? Near the garden in the back? Should I just live every day like it’s Fashion Friday!?

In My Kitchen

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

Next to my closet, my kitchen is the area I looked most forward to unpacking. I love to cook and keep a clean, organized, chef-friendly kitchen. Having my dishes unpacked served as one more reminder I’m not on vacation.

I’ve got a pretty large collection of Fiestaware (thanks Mom), sure to make your mother see green. I obviously didn’t take my dishes with me to China, and I received two more sets for Christmas, so I couldn’t wait to see the colors in my cupboard.

Another exciting element to my kitchen is my Starbucks travel mugs. I started collecting them in China, and the obsession spread from there. I have eleven mugs (Beijing, China, Hong Kong, Los Cabos, New York, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Diego, Seoul, Shenzhen, and Tianjin) and counting. Now whenever I travel, I make sure to scout out a Starbucks and pick up a city mug.

With all this exciting kitchenware, what more could a girl need? Well, for starters, a table, food and house guests. I can get the first two checked off my list, but I’ll need some help with the third!
