searching for that perfect shoe

So I spent the day walking down Santee Alley in Downtown L.A with one goal in mind and many distractions. LOL. The goal: finding the perfect pair of shoes for my younger sister's prom dress. But who can walk through an alley filled with shops selling cute clothes, accessories and shoes?! Okay…so maybe I'm just a little bit of a shopaholic. haha 

I woke up this morning filling totally drained…don't know why since I didn't do anything that would result with me feeling tired yesterday. But I was and my body just felt numb to the point I just didn't want to get up. Somehow I managed to get up and shower for the day.

Here's what I wore today. (just a casual outfit).


We did find a cute pair of prom shoes for my sister but sadly there wasn't any in her size. So we're still on the search. Might be heading back to Santee Alley in two weeks to check if the shoes she wanted will be stocked up again. If not…then she'll just have to find some online. Didn't take pictures while I was in Downtown L.A…too distracted by all the cute SHOES!! I did manage to get a pair of really cute creme color jelly shoes. YAY ME!! Definitely have to wear them for the upcoming K-Pop Festival. 

Also saw the strangest thing EVER while walking through Santee Alley. There was a man asking for change and his feet looked like large, swollen hands. I have never seen anything like that before. I wasn't sure if it was real or fake.


Side view…I have so many outfit ideas to pair off with these shoes.


My sister also got some cute shoes


After returning home, we went out to eat at Chipotle and had a little photo shoot. Also checked out our local Forever21 to find accessories that would go with my sister's prom dress. I apologize beforehand…now spamming a few more photos from today's mini shoot. It was really sunny today and hot. 


Favorite spot to take photos. 


I really love this shot. My sister is such a GREAT photographer.




A few good things are starting to happen in my life, though I'm still looking for a new job. Hopefully it's one that's in retail. Been thinking of being a flight attendant. I just want to travel already.

That Brandy Melville Experience

Image
So today popular clothing brand, Brandy Melville , were holding open casting calls at their Santa Monica store. I have always loved their casual, cute clothes and I was excited to get the chance to audition to become a their model. Though I highly doubt I'll get picked since they base their look on your typical blue eyes, and blonde hair girls which I'm not. Haha. No offense to Brandy Melville but I really think they should change their look and go for one with a variety of looks. I know I'm not model material…first of all, I'm way too short but I won't let that stop me from chasing my dreams. So you can imagine how quickly intimidated I was when I walked into the store for the open call. There were tons of girls dressed in Brandy Melville clothing. Tall, skinny, beautiful  and white.  But I managed to gather up all my courage and just GO FOR IT!!  For my outfit, I decided to wear thrifted clothes. HIgh wait jeans and a black, slightly turtleneck bodys

Beauty tip of the Day!!

Hey Everyone!!　 みなさん、こんにちは！！ ( ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡)   Now part of having healthy, smooth skin is to exfoliate a couple of times during the week. If you're like me and can't afford to spend money at a sauna then here's a neat trick for those of you that are living on a budget.  ✿ ✿ ✿ Here's what you'll need: -medium/large bowl -a rag -a pot ✿ ✿ ✿ Boil some water in a pot or microwave and pour the boiled water into a medium to large bowl. After you are done boiling the water, pour the water into the bowl. Sit at a table with your face over the bowl at a comfortable distance (don't lean in too close, the steam is hot!!) and use the rag to cover your face and to trap the steam. The steam should come in contact with your skin. Stay in this position for about 15 minutes or longer so that the steam can increase blood circulation which in turn opens up clogged pores.  Once you are done rinse your face with lukewarm water and lightly dap your face dry with a wa
