drop it like it's hot.

yes, it's the shorts again.
i seriously love them.
pro'lly cause they're more dressy than denim.
and they're not that hot because:
1) they're shorts
2) they're pretty thin
what is hot is this shirt.
eh. win some, you lose some.

headed to the beach after work for some stand up paddling.
gotta love summer.

stuffed.

stuffed is an understatement...i ate all weekend. surprisingly, i didn't pick up my dslr camera once. now i have no pictures
to show you, but it was nice to just enjoy the moments.
here's what i did and what i ate...

surprise birthday dinner party: good wine and huge spread of cheese and crackers, perfectly cooked steaks and potatoes, asparagus, and a chunky salad of cherry tomatoes/corn/cucumbers.

minis' father's day lunch: we stuffed ourselves with chips and salsa and enchiladas and sodas till we could eat no more.

saturday dinner with my dad and sister #1: korean bbq plate lunches from a restaurant my dad used to take us to as kids.
kal-bi, mandoo, meat jun, bbq chicken and all the side dishes.

sunday dinner with my dad and sister #2: chinese dim sum, noodles, and crab. 

a super old leather vest. probably my first ever leather purchase. i used to layer it over things, but there isn't any room for layering anymore. does wilson's leather still exist?

(pretty bow ring c/o bobby glam)
(leather vest, wilsons (faux); skirt, f21 (similar))

two great giveaways going on this month...

an [oomph] review + GIVEAWAY. lash genius.

now that summer is here, we will be hitting the beach and doing outdoor activities as much as possible. this often means that i will go from work straight to the beach or park, and the last thing i need to worry about is runny makeup. i found a gel eyeliner that works, but now it's my mascara that gives me grief.

lash genius by anastasia of beverly hills is my solution. it's a colorless topcoat that waterproofs any mascara, making your favorite mascara waterproof when you need it to be...
cry much at movies?
shed a tear at weddings?
know that you'll be out and about on a rainy day?
or have watery eyes like me?

simply apply over your mascara and be worry free for the rest of the day. i was skeptical, because even mascara that claims to be waterproof runs sometimes. after trying the product for myself, i was quite surprised by the results. here's what i did:

applied my everyday (maybelline great lash) mascara and let dry.

applied Lash Genius to right eye only and let dry.

THE TEST: SWIPED A WET FINGER ACROSS EACH EYE.
the [right] eye with Lash Genius swiped clean.

the [left] eye without lash genius swiped with runny mascara.

although lash genius may not be a necessity for everyone everyday, it is a product that is great to have on hand and one that i will turn to when i need a sure thing.
