Her schedule was a tad crazy; she arrived on Thursday, interview Friday, Saturday morning more interview, and then back on her way to London Sunday at 4am. YIKES! But I was psyched she made some time for me (smile) . This sweater is probably my favorite swap score, I’ve already shown you some swap guys here. But I actually borrowed this sweater before I owned it! I was… View Post
Crushing On- New Tattoo
I am dying for a new tattoo. There is a painting that lives at my mom’s house and it came from the house in the Philippines where she grew up. I really would love Amanda Wachob to tattoo it on me. I love my last artist, she does beautiful and incredibly fine fine work (Su Houston). But I have never seen such a painterly quality in tattoos before Amanda Wachob and I think she would just do the best job… View Post
Made by Voz-Empowering Women with Design

Jasmine Aarons was inspired to create Voz after traveling to study indigenous design for her graduate program at Stanford Product Design. Jasmine then went to Chile on a Haas post-graduate fellowship to offer women of the Mapuche courses… View Post

I hope all of you have friends like… View Post

What I Wore- The Strokes @ MSG
Friday night the BF took me to see The Strokes (his most favorite band) at Madison Square Garden. Click on image below to buy their latest album, Angles. So I totally tried to match outfit with their album cover- this is the closest I could get 🙂 Aside: That is not me posing, that is me trying to put my hand in my pocket before the self-timer went off, LOL. Ah well. I literally kept walking past this dress at… View Post
