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.

Trader Joe's is a Good Reminder that Fall is Actually Here

Took these in the middle of one of our busy errand days while waiting outside the store for Ron's dad. I did not even think of pulling my phone out of my bag because hearing the dslr's click felt much more orgasmic to me than seeing what my friends posted on Instagram. :p ALSO, have a fruitful month! :)

Ron would not let me get any because according to him, it will rot and it will be a waste. so maybe I will get artificial pumpkins to use as decorations every fall? No? Yes?

Taking Pictures Just Got More Fun

I ordered this bad ass of a toy last week and got it one business day ahead than scheduled. I came home on Friday, fulfilled but tired from working overtime and saw the little lens box waiting for me on the ottoman. In an instant, I forgot I was exhausted and made the dogs go to the patio to use what's left of the natural light at 6pm. Here are two of my faves where I captured the faces we see every time at least one of us comes home. :)

Got the lens from eBay for 20% off than suggested retail price, click here if you're interested.

I Like Dog Parks and I Cannot Lie

With the vet's clearance, we finally were able to take the two dogs to the dog park last weekend. It was our first time for us taking two dogs there and I would say it was some really good family time.

Fox (per usual), barked, ran, barked, barked, barked, and ran. He's such a barker to appear tough but always runs to Ron or me when he's scared. He'll fight some of his battles but he's the type who feels much safer with his humans.

Chippy, on the other hand, forgot he had humans. When Ron unleashed him, he ran straight to another dog to play. He is such a sweetheart to everyone, except for that one dog who tried to hump him and that pissed him off. They fought, but the owner was understanding and just carried his dog (1 of 3 dogs) the rest of the time. Based on our walks, I thought Chippy was scared/mad at bigger dogs, however, after this trip, the dog he ran with the most is a komondor/chow mix (see big brown/tan dog in pics) and he had no trouble dealing with her.

 

 

 

I already cannot wait to go back. <3

Foodie Adventures: MILK

It appears like I have forgotten to post these marvelous photos. Marvelous because I took them, edited them and mainly because it is all about food. On a more relevant note, like I said on Instagram, I take whatever I said back. MILK is an awesome place. You can find it in Central LA, only a few miles from LACMA...and across the street from Buzzfeed and Blick Art Store.

Attack.

That Sleepy Feeling

Ever have one of those days when all you want to do is sleep? That was the kind of day Fox was having when these photos were taken. I find his little sighs and attempts to sleep while I keep on moving around so cute. I am in the same mood as I am typing this. I am still tired from the busy week with my little sister in town. I am now in the middle of transitioning to a new job while I am recovering from the good times this past week. Wish me luck. And in case you missed it, yes, I was offered a new job in my preferred industry and I took it! :)

Yes, these photos were purposely edited to make you feel sleepy after you look at it. ;)

How Could You Not Want to Come Home to This?

Sometimes, when Ron calls me to let me know that he is on his way home, I get the dog excited for his daddy. On this one specific day, I cracked the door open so Fox can take a peek.

When I heard Ron's car rev up on its way to the subterranean garage, we walked out and waited in the patio. Fox was very serious about waiting for his daddy.

Then Ron saw us from afar and started yelling out Fox's name. The dog just went crazy barking, jumping, bending down, while vigorously wagging his tail.

To reciprocate the excitement, Ron bent down so Fox can give him kisses.

PS, I am proud to say that none of these pictures were edited. Yay for learning how to shoot in manual mode! :)

The Last Bookstore

As promised in one of my previous posts, here are pictures of the wonderful Last Bookstore in Los Angeles. It is a must-go-to place for book lovers! They have new and used books, vinyl records, little galleries, and a $1 book section!

My cousin found this letter in the $1 book section. She read it and put it back for the next person to find it to read. :)

In the Still of the Night

Because when everyone's asleep, I become a creep and take pictures. This was last night, after a few drinks and lots of stories.

I hope you enjoy something equally satisfying as this. ;)
