Had an awesome day and watched
50/50 which is currently one of my favorite movies out right now. Sounds weird but one of my favorite things to do in the whole entire world is to watch movies matinee-- solo! I know it's borderline creepy but I love it and another thing I love most is my girlfriends. They're a part of my life that just feels solid and I couldn't be more grateful for all of them. We had dinner and learned that I am probably the most slowest eater on the planet and I also decided to let go of my signature peace sign necklace among a few other things. Just felt in need for a change which reminds me-- I also parted with my ombre hair color and am so in love with the ashy brown I'm rocking. Went back to my old hairstylist
Sunshine-- so if you're in the Bay and are looking for a new look, she is your go to girl-- 408.307.3111!
Oh, and I've been meaning to introduce you all to a good friend of mine. He's a very talented musician and designer and has been such a big inspiration in my life.
Alex is responsible for a few videos from
my YouTube and
his channel is so impressive I'm sure you'll enjoy his music. Lot's of changes and think I had a good run for a last day before fall backwards. The weather is cold outside and it's beginning to feel more and more like Christmas which is very exciting. Anyway, here's to a sweet November and my last few months of being 27!
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!

I wanted to be Carmen San Diego months ago but knew finding the red hat would be a challenge. Strangely, I found this bad boy at LF now all I needed to do was figure out how I'd maintain staying cool indoors if I had to wear a trench coat/jacket. American Apparel is pretty much a default spot for anything basic and I think this sheer blouse came pretty close to what she actually looked like...
I also really like to tie in a theme with Mav's costume so I made him Where's Waldo for Halloween. Another effortless outfit courtesy of American Apparel and though it's been overdone.. I don't think I've seen a cuter Waldo than him.

Thinking of fun costumes for couples is one of my favorite things to do. Alex could be one of the squarest people I know so it was pretty fitting to come as a pair in this getup. The sad thing is, this was the least favorite idea I would've ever wanted to do. Really, school girl? We were going for a professor/school girl or teacher/student deal but instead I think we looked like Harry Potter... at least he did. Putting this whole ensemble was the most annoying thing only because it literally kept changing and everything I initially bought-- think racy/sexy--was inappropriate for the house party we were attending so I had to revamp almost everything from scratch. Basically the skirt I purchased, the shirt I wanted to wear that only came as a set with another skirt that I didn't plan on using, then deciding I'd just go for a blazer, being satisfied with the look only to find out the length of the skirt was way too short for the PG-13 party and after celebrating
Halloween in Vegas last year, I was disappointed. Luckily, we improvised pretty well and found some neat patches to match, I got a skirt from Maverick's school's lost and found bin that they were disposing, then rushed to my seamstress to have it hemmed. I got a ruler, glasses, and one of his design books-- I originally had a Kama Sutra book for shits and giggles but of course that had to go! And overall, despite every inconvenience, I think our final outcome was perfect:
