Even though I'm not too big on salt and more of a pepper loving kinda gal, I still adore the Morton Salt Umbrella Girl. I have an old friend who loved salt so much he might as well have used this spout to season his fries.
Anyway, the Morton message is "even in rainy weather [salt] flows freely" and I love this because I find beauty in the resilience people hold in difficult times. Word of advice I've always appreciated is that you can't please everyone so you might as well just please yourself.. and for those I can't this message is for you, I take your words with a grain of salt and shake it off- then get inspired and take a picture :)
On a different note, I always get asked who takes my pictures and most of the daily candids are usually done by my friends with my now upgraded digital panasonic lumix t5 which i'm absolutely in love with. It captures amazing pictures without the flash!
And for the better shots like these (and most of the ones these past few days) have been taken by my friend since I was 12 years old, Mike Payad, who's such an amazing and talented photographer. Check him out.. he's great and I give credit to him for capturing all the fun photo's you love :)

i would never in a million years consider myself a video vixen or even ponder the role for the matter, but my long time friend eric nichols was shooting a music video and asked if i could be in it.. so in an effort to support his work i agreed and as i was reading the storyboard and the script i was hesitant as to what i got myself into since.. 1- i don't smoke, 2- i am no where near ghetto, and 3- i don't know how to act sexy. lol.. but viola.. we had fun and the crew was sweet and it was nice to meet all the new people on the set :)

and i've gotten a ton of questions about my Maverick name necklace... it's from souljewelry, gold 10K "Carrie" style, longer 18in rolo chain with my son's name written on it :)

I've been dying to wear these Balmain look-a-like gladiator sandals for the longest. I was literally drooling when I saw these shopping on the streets in Hong Kong. And although they were more expensive than the average shoe I was buying, I thought this sure beats the ludicrous price tag the
original version carries. I've heard
ZARA has an inspired pair and
ALDO's has some cute ones that are almost dead on, minus the swarovski crystals of course.. but these flat ones will definitely suffice. And my trip to Santa Rosa came with getting my toes done again and I knew these shoes would look great with a darker shade.. and a teal rhinestone.. sigh* :)
Here's what they looked like off the runway for Balmain's Spring 2009 RTW collection. I believe
Jennifer Connelly wore the green ensemble to the "He's Just Not That Into You" premiere. Anyway, these sandals are amazing and I'm so happy I have a similar version even though they're flat, they make me smile.

- my favorite color is pink :)
- i've so outworn these shoes but still absolutely love em' as if it was the first day i bought them.
- this skirt is another purchase i made when i was in the philippines and every time i wear it, it makes me feel like a ballerina.
- and yes, i'm a big fan of pearl earrings. BIG TIME. i think that might be one of my everyday staples.
