Night Trippin

More dancing took a hold of my Friday night in SF. My outfit consisted of two slips, one cream and one black that I purchased that same day at the thrift store in my city. As soon as I got home I washed them and ended up cutting about an inch off the black one so the pretty lace on the cream one would show just a bit. Underneath my slips I wore my David Bowie t-shirt. I tried to keep it simple and I was totally pleased that the weather cooperated and did not have to bring my faux fur jacket out for a change. Right when this photo was taken I was quite frustrated that I could not locate the party for my posse and I, hella annoying. Once we did (it was located in hole in the wall in an alley) the memories of frustration were long gone.

Tormenta Tropicallllllllllllllllllllll

Newbies!

Finally! I had the opportunity to do a teensy-bit of shopping for myself. I got the following two pairs of pants:

Sharkskin Twill Pant from White House Black Market
My obsession for trousers continues...


Don't know why I did not consider Zumiez for jeans in the past. They have A LOT of skinny jeans, which was exactly what I have been looking for the past few months.

Empyre Girl Eve Grey Jean


I've already worn the skinny jeans two or three times and they are tight as hell (literally), which I adore and have only tried on the trousers at the store. I liked how they made my ass look round and they just look really cool paired with platforms. I am so happy that I have new pants because it has been really chilly here lately...

I Found You!

Ode to Joy! I knew the day would come when I would find THE perfect bike. I knew I wanted a cruiser, but that was about it and when I saw this beauty I just knew it was THE ONE...




Meet the Cougar GTS 26" Cruiser.....I love you....I want you so bad I am going to work extra hard to get you soon (tear).

Spring Fever

It's come to my attention that I dress too much like an old lady. I've been thinking about that lately and I think I need to chill a bit with the old lady clothes and savor my youth. That does not mean that I am not going to shop for old clothes, but I have to be creative with what I choose to wear. Spring is upon us so I thought I would check out some inspiration. Here is what I'm digging:


I can play with my love for black during the evening of course and go for something crazy like what Miss Chloe is wearing. She's definetly sexy, but not trashy and that is exactly what I like. Another thing that I adore about this outfit is that its kinda 80's and I never wear anything from that decade. What I need to purchase to compliment what I have in my current wardrobe: leather thin black jacket and lacy black see-through dress. Oh and I think I will skip the huge cross and sport a rosary, I am sure that will make my mother very happy ;)


So I thought...who screams sex with their clothes?? I then immediately looked for D & G's Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear Collection and I did not love anything in particular, but I did like how a cute spring airy short dress looks paired with a cute fitted leather jacket. It's a combination of girly and badass and there are not too many layers here. I do not have any fun little dresses like the one above, but I am thinking of chopping and tweaking an old lady dress that I have never worn. I would also need to hunt for a brown leather jacket to complete the look.


Speaking of fun spring dresses I dig this one by Anna Sui's Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear Collection. It's fun, youthful, and it looks totally vintage...gotta love that. I also really like the see-through metallic socks, I need to find me a pair!


Here is another effortless look by Anna Sui's Spring Collection. I'm thinking about doing a skirt like that with a vest (no shirt) and a scarf. This is absolutely perfect for the hot scorching days to come when you must look fabolous, but cool at the same time.


There's a lot of classic cotton pieces like these in DKNY's 2008 Spring Ready-To-Wear Collection. Shorts are a total essential for Spring, but so difficult to shop for. On me they look bulky and the ones that do fit are too long. What I like about this outfit is that it's simple in the sense that there is not much going on, but it looks totally sexy. I think the belt totally creates that sex appeal because it highlights the waist.


This last one is up my alley, I know for a fact that trousers look great on me. I like the tank tucked in and the red obi, a simple diy project. This look could totally be worn from day-to-night, which is another plus.

Ladiesssss

I totally forgot about these photos that were taken about two weekends ago. The party took place at the Avalon in San Jose.




In case you are wondering about the mood of the party here it is...


There were two female dancers, one was wearing boots with fur. The music was so so....actually I'm not going to lie, it was HORRIBLE. I had a fantastic time though dancing with my friends who I don't spend enough time with because we have opposite schedules and my sister the DJ.

Running

This is beautyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and style!  Where do I start?  The HUGE orange hair, the shoes, the crazy ass makeup that looks so damn fly....I have no excuses to NOT look good.  This is totally inspiring.

New Shoes

UPDATE:  I just baptized these puppies "Burnt Marshmallow" upon the suggestion of my new friend Opio.

...Can't wait to wear you this weekend!

Binge

Cheetos Flamin Hot Puffs, or crack cocaine (as I refer to it) is consuming my life! It all started with the crunchy ones and now I can't stop indulging in the puffy ones (thanks to my brother). We are seriously addicted! They are spicy to the point your nose is watery and you feel like you have a cold ( I know!) I've gone as far as to try the crunchy ones with cream cheese ( I know!) upon the suggestion of my homegurl Susana. When I told Lil P about this method he told me that everyone at his school eats them like that...some even put Flammin Cheetos in their bagels! I KID YOU NOT. I recommend that you try them at least once in your life because otherwise you will be extremely deprived...

Ps: Just to give you a head's up, your fingers will be bright orange/red after you indulge. You can try to wash it off, but the color will remain at least for a day.

Feeling Better...

The medicine totally helped me last night. Even though my left ear is still infected and my sinus remains, the cold seems to have passed for the most part. I woke up this morning starving so I prepared the BEST breakfast ever: NACHOS! I made them with whole grain tortilla chips, fish fillet, guacamole, refried beans, mexican fried rice, and my mother's awesome salsa made with tomatillos! I'm going into work later today so I will use this time to take it easy and swallow as much medicine as possible to kill this horrible sickness.

Sick As F$ck

I have a little issue with staying in at night during the weekend, but even though I am sick as hell (day 3 or is it 4?) I went out to the bookstore to read and to the drugstore to buy something to kill this massive throat, sinus, ear infection cold I have. I think today might be the worse since I've been putting off buying medicine for some strange reason. I probably took longer to get ready to go out than the actual time I spent doing all this. I feel lame. Now what I really want is a burrito and even though I have all the stuff I need to make one in my fridge (I am after all Mexican) I have the strong desire to actually venture out into the cold and buy one. I hate staying in, did I mention that?

Pacific Art Collective 5 Year Anniversary Party

I ran into old friends from my early years of college, which was a surprising treat. I did not care much for the live bands, but the LIVE art was absolutely amazing. By the time I arrived the eight artists or so who collabotared on this beautiful mural were into their third hour. One of my favorite things ever is to watch people create things, whether it be music, paint, glass-blowing, cooking, whatever...the experience is totally inspiring and motivating.

Lazy day at Chinatown

Lil P and I took a little stroll through Chinatown in San Francisco today. I love this place because there is so much to see. There are a gazillion shops that sell anything from jewelry to herbs to eastern music instruments and delicious food. We passed through a park where children were running on the playground and older Chinese men and women were playing cards. It was lovely...






Before going home we ventured into Haight Street for the usual music shopping. There is quite a lot of writing around this neighborhood, we totally dug Mr. World in a suit and mustache minding his own business and smoking his pipe.

Monday I ditched my internship because I was tired as hell and called my wifey over for a day of gurl time. The day was quite the sucess!

We cooked a delicious feast. We ate and I kind you not: chips and salsa, salty peanuts, jicama and cucumbers, margaritas, flautas, mexican fried rice, vegetable soup, wine, pan dulce, and coffee (over the span of a day of course)..Here she is preparing the flautas.


We made three kinds: tuna, shrimp, and potatoe. The tuna had diced bell peppers and onions as you can see.


Here are the flautas rolled up and frying in olive oil. They taste like heaven...


And I made a vegetable soup that was spicy!


We shared the fruits of our labor with Drea...


After our wonderful meal we lounged in my room and made cards, my favorite hobbie btw. It was quite relaxing and I will post photos later of some of the cute stuff we made at another time. I also had my wifey listen to all my music: Doors, Jimi, Troupe Vitalis, etc...Since meeting her I've gotten a crash course in Hip Hop 101, so it was only natural that I return the favor and give her a lesson myself. She loved it of course and I also let her borrow the essential: "Please Kill Me" by Lester Bangs.

Once night came we made our way to San Jose for her interview with Bay Area Producer Traxamillion at KSJS.


DJ Savvy is off the hizzy!




Traxamillion talked about his involvement with the Hyphy Movement (he makes beats) and about his early days as an underground hip hop cat. He was really sweet and told me I smelled like grapefruit, aww.
