the skort.

the asymmetrical skort, made popular by zara...did you jump on the bandwagon? trends generally arrive to the islands much later, which can be good and bad. as a blogger, you are exposed the latest and greatest products and trends, and it's easy to get caught up in the hype. next thing you know, you've spent oodles of money on things you don't necessarily need. i'm guilty of that. not having physical access to things gives me time to really evaluate a trend to see if it's right for me.

i nearly gave up on the asymmetrical skort because there was always something that didn't work for me...the material (too see through), the length, the waistband...but i gave it one last shot with these from Patty's Closet. the material is nice and thick, it has a flat front so it's not bulky, and the points aren't too pointy.

and below are some pics from our mother's day weekend. saturday, i was treated to lunch at the oceanarium restaurant which is located alongside pacific beach hotel's 3-story aquarium. it's pretty cool when the divers jump in and feed the fish. apparently, there is a mermaid show in the evening.

how was your mother's day?

do you have the zara skort?

that fish sat behind mini-she for a while, and in our 2-hour stay we must have seen at least 5 different divers.

a huge buffet with everything you can think of. everyone goes for the crab legs, but i stuck to breakfast. and mimosas.

sunday was dinner with the family. since i had just gotten a mani + pedi from mini-she, mini-he helped by decorating cupcakes while mini-she made a lasagna.
