We had dinner at Katana- Ya on Geary in Union Square. This place is a busy Japanese restaurant that can feel a bit crowded but this small spot has a cute and a homey feel. It's known for being a famous Ramen House in SF but since I'm always on the hunt for the best dragon roll, that was my order and I will definitely come back next time around to try the noodles. There can be a bit of a wait but I think it's worth it and so is the cold plum sake- I've never had sake chilled before and it's absolutely delicious!  The service is fast, the prices are very reasonable, and it's in a great location downtown that's open late so if you're in the area you should definitely check it out.


There are many clubs, bars and lounges nearby and we started off the night at Vessel, located at Campton Place between Stockton and Grant. We then swung by Slide adjacent to the famous Ruby Skye on Mason and ended our night at Harlot located on Minna where we had a blast. All venues have a nice, trendy, and hip vibe that played Hip Hop/Top 40/Mash ups. It was a fun fun night with the gals in the city and the color of the night seemed to be blue! :)

We had a late lunch at Fuzio, a universal bistro, located on Chestnut in the Marina district in San Francisco.

I really love this area and it's just as fun in the day as it is at night to stroll around this neighborhood filled with a ton of shops and restaurants.

I ordered the carrot-ginger soup and a tuna melt with a mixed green salad. This is an excellent meal if you're looking for a hearty soup that has a little kick to it and a panini style tuna melt that tastes extra fresh.

This city is a great destination that I can never get sick of and I always enjoy exploring new places to eat and sights to see. I love San Francisco and everything it has to offer. :)

"What Comes Around Goes Around" Fall 2009 collection launch

Speaking of motherhood, here's my favorite fashionable celebrity mother who is pregnant once again. Nicole Richie graced the cover of the April edition of Glamour UK Magazine, BlackBook Magazine, was featured in Vivi Magazine and also showed off her baby bump at Space 15 Twenty in Hollywood for the "What Comes Around Goes Around" fall 2009 collection. 

I love her style and everything about her.. She recently launched her fun jewelry collection, House of Harlow 1960, at Kitson and she is truly one of my favorite fashion icons and inspirations.

i believe you create your own experiences, and with motherhood i've found ways to make it as glam and fabulous in my own life with the help of course from my amazing family.

i'm not out to win a medal or prove to anyone that i could do this on my own, bc to be quite honest with you, i can't. i appreciate the people who help me in numerous ways to make my life comfortable and sane in raising my son and living out my life the way i please. 

but to feed your curiosity, i present to you my maverick.

these photos were taken when maverick was 4 months old by my friend steve in burligame. :)
