An Afternoon in Emeryville.

Although the blog post title doesn't sound as luxurious as the title of the movie we saw today, "A Midnight in Paris," it was in fact a very fun and relaxing day out with the boyfriend.  We ate out at the Emeryville public marketplace -- it has all kinds of different cuisines available, very great for those picky-eaters like myself (being a Pescetarian, no meat but seafood, it's necessary).

We watched Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams, and I really did enjoy the movie -- although there was tons of philosophical jargon going on, it was a feel-good movie.  It also managed to increase my level of eagerness to one day visit the beautiful city of Paris.  And because of this movie, I too want to experience Paris walking in the rain without an umbrella.

Ended the day enjoying a red velvet whoopie pie, I am completely addicted and will forever buy these cute finger-foods along with my usual soy white mocha.  Also visited our favorite place ever, Barnes & Noble.  If we could, we'd live in this store.

Enjoy these photos.  They were taken with my camera phone, so excuse the graininess, but it's really good with close-ups! :p (ie. the food) lol.

Ivory DKNY silk top, Brown thrifted belt, Ivory vintage Chanel purse, Silver DIY chain bracelet/ring, thrifted turquoise ring, and LUXLA bracelet, Blue Urban Outfitters bdg leggings, Tan Sam Edelman Valin wedges.

I hope you all are having a lovely week so far.  It's almost Friday!!! TGIF soon!  And just wanted to say once more how happy I am to have all your support on my blog, twitter, facebook, Chictopia, etc.  It really always makes my day reading all your sweetest comments and messages.  There will be more exciting things happening for my blog, collaborating right now with a lot of companies and brands.  Youtube video coming soon with a company I'm teaming up with for a product review.

Have a lovely Friday tomorrow and weekend!  

PS. I am super excited, it's less than a week away til I travel to LA!!!  I have a few blogger meet-ups planned, but if you're in the LA area, def lemme kno so we can meet up!! :)
PSx2. Also check out my recent feature on a spanish online magazine The Unlimited Edition!

Spent the day with my best middle/high school girlfriend Brenda (we go wayy back since 7th grade!) at SF Union Square

 Took pics in this pretty alleyway :).

Shopping, makeup, eating or actually pigging out, non-stop laughing, hugs, and photos galore, equals a perfect, relaxing, fuun, Spring Break filled with catching up w/ my best girlfriends (and new friends too!) ;).  So far the pics above sums up my spring break, which is a relaxing one awaayy from the craziness of what is called -- SCHOOL.  Just what I needed -- a nice break.
Aand to make things more exciting!  The Trendy Rose Spring photoshoot is happening this weekend!  And so happy to be the head stylist!  Something I really love doing and happy to be a part of :).  Can't wait to show you lovelies the finished Spring Lookbook, I will keep you updated forsure :).

And as for my outfits, I've been noticing I fell in love with parkas, military jackets, anoraks etc..I guess they're just so perfect for our gloomy rainy weather lately!  Don't worry loves, I'll switch into the pretty sheer soft light neutral colors soon once the sun comes out to play.  I CAN'T WAIT for some warm spring sun!! :)
