Currently Listening to: Passion Pit - Sleepyhead

To celebrate the return of the sun after it's one week hiatus, I took some pictures in my yard. I enjoy the rain, but only if it pours for at least two days straight, I guess I like to sulk in melancholy.

Weekend Highlights:











Eating sushi @ Miru8691. You can customize your own rolls, if they like your creation, they will add it to their menu. Oh, they also had faux Louis Vuitton leather booths, that was interesting.

I finally watched An Education! Did any of you? Any thoughts you'd like to share on the movie? Although I think I understood the message the movie was conveying, I have to admit I was more intrigued by the fashion and history of the era (1960's) in London than the story itself. Now I definitely must visit the country one day, sip coffee in chic cafes, ride my bike through the country, and drink wine while watching the sun set. One day.

I think I want to do a Valentine's Day giveaway. I have one week to prepare!

Spring Time in January + Bow Tie Giveaway

Only in California does it hit 77 degrees in the beginning of January, and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.

I realize that as a Los Angeles native, I really don't appreciate the history and scenic views of the city enough. I've visited downtown plenty of times, only to eat in Little Tokyo and neglecting all the scenic views the area has to offer. Two weekends ago,  I walked a couple of blocks in a different direction and discovered buildings with such intricate details. The newly built LAPD building and The Broad Center are really truly amazing. You can really see the creativity and art that was incorporated into its construction.

I will be doing a giveaway to celebrate the new year, and who doesn't love free stuff right?  I will try to do one least every 2 months, so please subscribe to my blog.  This time, I am giving away 2 sets of handmade bow ties. The set will include one with an iron print, and one with a geometric pattern.  You can choose from either a hair pin, a hair tie, or tiny ball chain. If you are selected as a winner, I will contact you on what your preference is.

This giveaway is open to all US+ international residents and ends January 17, 2010. To enter please leave a comment including your name, and email. thanks for reading, and good luck!
