Here I Stand, Six Feet Small

 Shirt, cardigan, and jeans: Old Navy

Mini-wedges: Payless

Bracelet: Forever 21

These jeans are quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love how they make me feel a little bit taller.  I'm going to have to add some more flares to my jean collection.  I currently loving this, this and this.  The next pair will also have to be super long, so I can wear my highest heels in order to feel like an amazon in the suburbs.

I might make it my mission to find the perfect flare jeans when I go to L.A. in a couple of weeks to see this....

I didn't have the chance to go last year, so I immediately got a ticket when I found out about it. I'm trying to convince some of my girlfriends to go. But if that doesn't pan out, it'll be a solo excursion to finally visit some places in L.A. I've been wanting to check out for a while. Well it's more like cupcake shops. There's Sprinkles, Babycakes, Yummy Cupcakes, Crumbs, the list goes on. If you add also going to Madewell or any shopping to the mix, it's best if I only go to maybe two or three cupcake shops max. The waistline, my self-confidence, and my teeth will not like me if I treat those little frosted suckers as a meal. 

What other places, shops, food joints in L.A. should I visit?

I would love to know your suggestions! 

Looking Forward: March

We're heading into March already and I can't be more happier. 

Spring

I always look forward to this season and the next three months in particular. I just love how the flowers are blooming and everything is green. Plus it's still warm, but not scorcing hot like it is towards the end of summer or extrememe cold during the end of winter.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields

This place has been on my list to visit for the longest time and I'll finally get to go with my friend this month! Situated in the beach city of Carlsbad, the Flower Fields have 50+ acres of beautiful flowers such as rununculus, roses and greenhouse full of poinsettias. There's also tractor rides and a sweet pea maze. Lot's of picture taking will be involved.

She & Him Vol. 2 

 

I loved their last album, aptly titled Vol. and from what I have so far, it's an extention from that. 

Hopefully I'll get to see them in concert sometime this year. 

Alice in Wonderland 

Tim Burton is a visionary and I can't wait to see his take on this classic fairy tale.

I don't have the time to go to NYC to see his exhibit at the MOMA, which runs trough April 26th. If you have seen it, what are your thoughts on it? Did it let you look inside the mind of Tim Burton?

I hope the exhibt makes its way to the west coast. 

What are you looking forward to this month?

This year...

Two weeks into the new year and it's been ok. Had it's ups and downs, but nothing that can't be worked on.

However I do have some things to look forward to this year...

Comic-Con July 22-25

I have never been a big comic book or sci-fi fan, but I was always fascinated about going to this. So when I found out tickets went on sale back in September, I jumped at the chance and bought my ticket. Well I should say passes because I ended up buying the 4 day pass including the preview day on the 21st. So it'll be five days of meeting interesting people from all walks of life from all over the world.

High School Reunion


It amazes me that it's been 10 years since I graduated high school. When I think of my high school self, I didn't want to draw too much attention to myself, but still participated in extracurriculars like newspaper and choir. I have kept in touch with some of my high school friends, but to see everyone else will be fun. To see who's changed and who has stayed the same.

NYC: Part 2
I'm hoping to make another return visit to NYC to visit my sister. The last time I went was in October of '08. This time around I would like to see New York in the springtime and visit museums I didn't have the chance to last time. Also, depending on when I go, I would like to make the trek down to D.C. so I can see the Cherry Blossoms in bloom.

I also decided that I do have some New Years resolutions, but I'm keeping those to myself.

Do you have any big trips/events planned for this year?
