Merry Christmas

Is it just me or does it seem like Christmas flew by this year? Oh well, at least I got to capture a few tidbits of my xmas holiday, compliments of my sister Jessica.

                 En route to starbucks with my sisters for quick coffee run before the familial festivities began. My blackberry = my life.

Necklace: Tiffanys ~ gifted from my mother for xmas this year

I hope everyone had a mij-tastic holiday weekend with great food, family, and friends. 

I know I did :)

Urth Caffe

After moving back home after finishing my undergrad at UCI, one of the things I miss most about living in Irvine is my old roomie/other half/snookies- aka, Jennifer :) Luckily, we were both able to make it out to LA for a luncheon before our xmas weekends began. 

I give you Urth Caffe.

So pretty.

Tasty-but painful. The bread was a little too toasted on top and it scraped the roof of my mouth :(

Jennifer!

Don't you love her fab Chloe bag and killer shoes?

I can never say no to plaid-I got this little number while I was in NY at Uniqlo

Until next time, we bid you adieu rockin' black ankle booties and lace up heels

 Happy Christmas Eve everybody!

New York.

After 6 days in the city that does not sleep, aka New York, I'm backkkk! Despite the 20 degree weather + winds and puzzling subway stations, I somehow made it out alive. Perhaps it was all the good food, sites, and people that I met while I was there.

 Day 1

Just landed! (Though I may be smiling on the outside, I was really dying on the inside from the cold)

Times Square.

 Day 2

Out and about @ Wall Street

Ferrera Cafe- my very first cannoli!

Shopping-as always :)

@ Red Bar for drinks

Day 3

Bryant Park.

Because who doesn't love a ginormous toy store?

Pretty window displays @ Bergdorf Goodman

And Saks 5th Avenue

Day 4

It's like the steps from Carrie's apartment in Sex and the City!

Central Park

The view from 230 Fifth rooftop bar.

Day 6

Too pooped to take any pictures of anything else on my last day-so here's a cup o' joe to wrap up the day.

Until next time, bye bye New York.

Packing and Pumpkin Bread

 I had a little extra time on my hands this week and decided to take another stab at baking. My first coffee cake was a success so I branched out a little and baked my very first loaf of pumpkin bread. 

Ta da!

 I intend on taking a slice or two on my plane ride tomorrow. After much planning and preparation, my long awaited winter vacay is finally here :)

NYC here I come!

Packing has never been an easy thing for me...as I often wish to take my closet and shoe rack with me.

I have a strange feeling I'll be up until the wee hours of the morning packing-then unpacking-then repacking. 

Until next time, Sammy and I bid you adieu from my scarf drawer.

Be back in 1 week!

So it's like Aladin with an R?

Another coffee date with Sharon means another night of pastries and lattes.
Roladin Cafe for a little R&R.

Round 1: Fruit tart & cheesecake minis.

Round 2: Rasberry puff pastry & creme brulee.

Lattes and macchiatos.

Afterwards-me patiently waiting for Sharon to burn me some good music.

Until next time, we bid you adieu rockin' knee high and combat boots.
