How to Wear Gold Shoes Casually

Visiting the Urban Light Exhibit at LACMA has become a yearly thing for me and Ron since our second anniversary. So glad that this time, we finally remembered to bring our SLR and got to take pictures. His Our cousin Rommel being there to take pictures was a huge plus! There's always a lot of people here so if you're coming, be armed with patience for people who will unconsciously bomb your photos with random parts of their bodies. Like in one of our photos, a girl was doing a vertical split against one of the lamp poles. Pretty impressive stuff!

I'm wearing my Old Navy penny loafers that I found in the store's clearance rack for less than $10. I knew it would be hard to convince my husband that it's a good buy but I think after a few outfits wearing 'em, Ron warmed up to the idea that gold shoes are not as loud as people think. It's not just for the gutsy and the power fashion bloggers, it's for everyone! It's like how I felt with my leopard print loafers (which are about to retire)--at first I was unsure but I still wore it and made it work anyway. :)

PS
These pictures were taken the same night as the pictures in yesterday's post.

A Day Out in Los Angeles: LA Gun Club + Urth Caffe + The Last Bookstore

A few weeks ago, our cousin invited us to go to a firing range and because Ron and I are up for anything new, and I am personally up for anything that would allow me to spend more time with my cousins, I was so down. So we planned to spend our Sunday at the Los Angeles Gun Club. At first I was excited but as soon as we entered the area where the shooting lanes were, I started getting nervous and I wanted to run out.  Like I said in one of my Instagram posts, I did well but I did not like it. On a more positive note, I am happy that at least I can say that I have tried it at least once in my life.

I got so stressed that I wanted to eat afterwards. Hahaha! I saw on Yelp that Urth Caffe was only a quarter mile away so we went there. I loved everything that I/we tried, including the Green Tea Boba (thanks ate!) except for the salad - it was too earthy for me, I wish I had asked for a sweeter, fruitier dressing.

Ysa's Fruit Tart to start her meal (right) ;)

The "New Yorker" Sandwich

Grilled Cilantro Chicken with Pesto

Margarita Pizza

Our last stop was the Last Bookstore. This place is wonderful. It is indeed a candy store for book lovers and vinyl collectors. Also, it gave me and my cousin a hipster-y feeling. We loved this place and I plan to make a separate post because of all the amount of pictures that I took. Also, coming back is in our to-do list in the coming months. :)
