superpoke KILLS

Does anyone remember Superpoke on facebook? For a little while, my friends and I got really into it and I got super excited when I found that I could throw stilettos at people. My friend Drew (drawn with the heel in his bleeding head) made this awesome sketch after I chucked a few at him. Oh memories!

The backpack obsession continues and I got this one from the leather markets in Florence. Here it's loaded up with all of my work essentials to design in Miami. I love the camel color and the gold hardware, perfect for spring!

I left my heart in San Francisco

Yesterday I got some vintaging/boutiquing done on Haight with my sister. Then headed over to Union Square and met up with my old friend from school Quincy Quinton!! Love Love Love SF! Of course we haaad to take a picture by the heart. Quincy's theory is that supposed to be symbolic of the heart that was left in San Francisco by the guy who wrote that song. Could be!!

silver wings

I'm blogging in the air right now! I've never tried to go on the internet in the air before so this is pretty exciting for me :) Heading to Northern California right now for a little bit to see the family for New Years. Chuc Mung Nam Moi to all my fellow azns!!! Not sure how much longer my flight will be.. as a frequent flyer I try not to ever think about it or count because it always seems to last longer if I do. Its a pretty comfortable flight though, hardly anyone is on it so everyone has their own whole row. Bonus!!!  

PS Im listening to the Country Strong soundtrack right now its so good. Everyone needs to see the movie!! Such a goodie.

NYC January Photodiary

A collection of photos taken from this times NYC trip. I wasn't too active about taking photos because it was soooo cold. Thats why most of them were taken indoors or through a window :). Luckily we have one of the most gorgeous offices here in New York, its seriously breathtaking! I'll try to take more pictures before I leave tommorow :)
