lime orange.

these are probably the two brightest pieces in my closet, paired together for a blinding combination. i thought it was the perfect backdrop for an equally bright, white leather + bead necklace that i picked out using an INpink credit i received.

recently, i've been loving a much simpler arm stack...2-3 pieces at most. check out lovely obsessions for some oomph-worthy pieces. enter code: rockoomph for 10% off.

and finally, mini-she and i spent some quality time over lunch at cpk this weekend. we shared salad and pasta before indulging in pumpkin cheesecake.

our favorite spinach artichoke dip.

tried this (seasonal) pumpkin cheesecake. excellent!

tinge.

i may have mentioned before that we do not have an h&m here.

i have never set foot in one. when my sister was in california last week, i received this text:

"is there anything you must have from h&m?

i have one hour at the mall."

i immediately scoured their website and started sending her pictures of things that i wanted. as luck would have it, they either didn't have my size or the online items weren't in the shop yet. so i told my sister just grab anything SPRING and MINTY and FLORAL. this top was her translation of that [haha]. she and i have very different tastes and styles. i did, however, enjoy all the trader joe's goodies she brought back.

pardon the purple-ish tinge in these photos. not sure what happened, and in trying to color correct them,

i turned out quite pastey.

i'm having so much fun on instagram.

shut up and dance.

something about high waisted pants still cracks me up.

mini-she and i used to pull up our pj pants real high,

tuck in our shirts and parade around the house.

everyone laughs.

everyone.

whenever i wear my high waisted jeans, i'm always tempted to tuck and dance. it's so dorky and i get a kick out of it.

every. time.

go on, try it. tell me you won't laugh.

new item on the menu...love them.

find these and more dorky goodness at currently obsessed.

till the elephants come home.

y'all know i have this thing for animal prints.

it all started with the bird printed blouses from zara, then some adorable vintage horse printed dresses spotted on fellow bloggers, as well as the one from asos.

i don't find many animals roaming around these parts of town, so when i spotted this little number,

it was a no-brainer.

tell me one of your obsessions.

homemade nachos...throw on your leftovers + lots of cheese,

nuke it in the micro till the cheese bubbles, and enjoy!

nightmare on oomph street.

i had one of those nightmares that was just too real for comfort.

i always think of "what if" situations in my head...

then shudder at the thought.

they usually involve the minis,

so maybe it's just me being a paranoid mom.

it was late monday night (early tuesday morning) after the whole target online thing, and i knew i had to be up in a few hours. it felt as though i had just closed my eyes when mini-he was on a balcony and fell thru a tiny slot where the floor met the glass railing. it seemed like i was right next to him, but it took forever to reach him. i looked over and he had fallen onto the balcony below. i frantically told him not to move, that i was coming down to get him. he sort of looked at me with a smile, then walked to the railing and squeezed thru the opening between the wall and the railing and fell. there was silence for a few seconds, then i heard him screaming. i started screaming. i froze and couldn't see anything. then, i heard a BOOM. it was some big truck unloading something at mcdonalds across the street. i looked over and saw mini-he sprawled out on my bed.

i picked my heart up off the floor then hugged him

like there was no tomorrow.

some scary shiz.

cowbells.

at the request of a few readers, the bells are back.

this time in standing formation.

danielle of danielle celeste wanted to see a standing pose.

a while back i talked about maxi skirts and how the perfect length for me was one that hit just above the ground. this creates a long line and lengthens my silhouette. anything shorter or longer has the opposite effect.

while i absolutely love these denims, they are too long even for my sky-high jessica simpson danys. its super long length borderlines on making me look short and wide when they hit the ground and pouf out...see last photo. i'm considering making some modifications with my good ol' scissors so that they don't go to waste. plus, mini-he kept stepping on them, lol.

terri at RAGS requested a video of me walking in these. hopefully i can get that figured out by the next time

i wear these.

as for the title, annie at fashionable asians said she was reminded of cowbells when she saw these denims.

   

given its boho vibe, it's hard not to reach for crochet, or a fur vest, or something loose and flowy to go with these denims. this time, i tried to go for a more pulled-together look for the office with a shrunken blazer.

atypical.

mom: *laughs* what the...what is that?!

me: why?

mom: *chuckles*

me: mom, you probably wore this baaack in the day!

mom: not that big *laughs*

as soon as i saw lisa of sweetie rocking these mega bells,

i knew i had to have them.

i searched the web with no luck. then, amy of

baby budget blog told me they were back in stock.

and, well, you know the rest of the story.

it definitely earned its share of stares and comments.
