I got lots of fun gifts for my birthday and the best one I received was a
MacBook Air. I've been wanting one for a couple of months now so it's time to retire my old MacBook. So unexpected and so appreciated. I am very content with how 2011 turned out. 2012 is going to be a fabulous year. :) My only resolution-- is to quit with the exclamation points. I tend to get exclamation point happy when it's really just an empty overstatement. It's usually okay to use but in most cases I've just been so used to punctuating my simple sentences/
tweets/captions for
instagram this way so it doesn't sound so serious. Now, I think it's time to stop that. Period.
My camaraderie with females is extremely high and am blessed to have a small close knit gang and various friends that factor into different areas in my life but aren't part of the same group. With these girls above, I have managed to celebrate my birthday with them consecutively for the past few years and it makes me really happy they wouldn't miss it for the world. We were stumped on deciding what to wear since every year we try to stick to a theme to make it more festive and found that difficult. Somehow surprisingly we ended up having matching shoes which was so unplanned but pretty cool. My mom wanted to host a small dinner for us which was nice since it was a good change up from our usual outings in the city and plus my BFF Tomiko is super pregnant so staying local for her was much more convenient. Had an amazing limo ride to the city that took us to
Twenty Five Lusk, my favorite spot for drinks in SF then hopped around what felt like a million places afterward. I finally came to the conclusion that my partying days are over and that my career in this area will end at 27. I am satisfied I've experience enough (at least in SF) and that resume is now complete. I am so so excited to be 28 and I started it with such an awesome day. Here's what I wore for the evening...
american apparel body suit, forever 21 skirt, steve madden shoes, liv boutique clutch, aritzia blazer
zara coat, sam edelman shoes, american apparel hat, louis vuitton bag
You only live once! ;)
Congrats to one of my bestest friends Maria!

Oh and what do you know, guess who caught her bouquet? :P

My girlfriend Maria is having her civil wedding tomorrow and the big shabang will take place in the Philippines next year in April. I'll be wearing a similar dress like this only without the tights to cover my bug bite bruises from last month (I can't believe they've lasted this long). Anyway, another velvet piece I like. I actually wore this to the Sara Bareilles concert a few weekends ago. I seriously want to freeze time-- it is slipping by way too fast! On the upside, I am very excited for a gazillion things in the near future, mañana to start with-- can't wait!!
