DO THE (RED) THING

There's something about a red clothing item that just makes an outfit pop. Whether it be shoes, a purse or even a skirt like this one above. And speaking of red I've been seeing those shirts from GAP everywhere suggesting words to- get INSPI(RED), be ADMI(RED), feel EMPOWE(RED), be DESI(RED), ADO(RED), TREASU(RED) or be simply BO(RED). There are many ways you can make a difference when you shop because no matter how much you do, it's in giving where you ultimately feel fulfilled. This (RED) initiative consists of a partner of brands, where every time you purchase a (RED) product or service the company will give up to fifty percent of it's profit to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. To date, the (RED) idea has generated more than $120 million for the global fund. So when you buy (RED) you save lives, so take action and join the (RED) movement.

  • Another sweater/dress I got when I was in Hong Kong.
  • I love this dress- it reminds me of the Alexander Wang Baggy Long Sleeve Sweater without the $595 price tag. 
  • It was ridiculously breezy  sunday and this "sweater" provided no warmth whatsoever considering all the holes allowing the wind to hit directly to my skin.
  • But thank god we didn't get run over taking these shots.

i've been on a mental vacation courtesy of the cold weather and downpour of rain earlier this week.. i would rather be planning what i would wear on a tropical vacation, but with enough sunshine to tide me over till my next getaway, since the weather has been beautiful this whole weekend, i'm ok.

anyway, here's a few stuff i got from my trip to hong kong and the philippines.

 


crepevine, burlingame

We ate at The Crepevine Restaurant in Burlingame on another sunny saturday and enjoyed my favorite- a Bodega Bay or simply a tuna melt with a side salad and rosette potatoes . This fun restaurant has a vast menu to offer and a wide branch of locations in the cutest neighborhoods.


After we ate, we passed through the Apple Store and saw Girl Scouts selling cookies- cuuuute! I think I bought a box of every kind just to support their cause. Girl Scouts are more than just a group of girls out to gain badges on their sashes. The activity of selling cookies helps them practice life skills, like goal setting, money management, and teamwork- while having fun! :) 

You should've seen how alive these kids were that you would've bought a box too. The Samoa's are my favorite and made a perfect dessert along with my Iced Coffee from Peets right next door.
