We danced the night away to
Tiesto at Ruby Skye for the actual Halloween day. I swear, I can't believe I was able to muster up the energy for a big weekend, but then again this is also my favorite holiday of the year. This party was soooo much fun, I seriously felt like I could've been in Vegas-- and that says a lot considering I think the nightlife in SF isn't happening. Anyway, this was also the first year I didn't celebrate with my girlfriends, though I must admit matching with a dude is a lot more fun-- especially since we were penguins (Alex is obsessed with penguins). We used baseball shirts and made the back portion all black so it looked more legit. Used yellow socks and turned them into legwarmers, created penguin feet with foam paper and again the fun hats I found from LF. Surprised how much material I was able to use from only two stores for all the outfits!
So I've been brainstorming fun costume ideas since I feel exceeding the year before is always necessary. However the older I'm getting, the less creative it feels like I'm being and it's pretty hard to top off things I really loved in the past. Anyway, I got some pretty good inspiration that I think will do just fine. Can't wait to post pictures after the weekend! :)

Whipped up a home cooked meal since it feels like forever since I've had that. Been living off of restaurant food which isn't bad, but there's something therapeutic about preparing your own food. I can never tire from my
tomato, basil & garlic pasta and nothing beats a perfect Monday late night dinner like this. Eating out has become quite excessive for me so it's nice to enjoy everything I made from scratch. Although I did dine at some really cool places the past week like
Umami Burger,
Terzo,
Bisou Bistro and
Skool. You can check my

Oh and by request here's a little photo of my mavo pie. You can find pictures like these on my instagram:
