I WISHED I WAS HAPPY LIKE I USED TO BE EVEN IF IT WAS A LIE.

ENCLAVES RULE

2011-08-03T22:36:00.000-07:00

Ever since I first found out about Rigoberto's, I couldn't stop going, thinking, and referring this place to everyone. It's about

the best Mexican food I've had–and I just came back from Mexico last month. Rigoberto's isn't even a food truck, it's a trailer

pulled by a Dodge Ram pick up. For such a small trailer, they serve so many exotic varieties: sesos (brains), buche (pork

stomach), tripa (tripe), etc. Buche is the only thing I eat, it's charred on the edge yet moist and slightly slimy, in the middle.

The meat just melts in the mouth, oh, and the slow-cooked refried beans perfectly accompanies the buche. Salivating, I love

Mexican enclaves.

DOG BEACH

Derbs enjoying a day at the beach and then choosing through the vast choices of different tampons at Target.

LOOK MA, I'M A FASHION BLOGGER

2011-07-28T00:21:00.000-07:00

Seeing fashion blogs turning into a personal marketing tool disgusts me. Unfortunately, I think this picture may have

officially entered my blog into the fashion realm, sarcasm. +plus points for my twin horsie+

SAVE ME

2011-07-21T02:12:00.000-07:00

chanel sunglasses, thrifted collared button up, juma t-shirt, zara caridgen, gap jeans, fjällräven kanken backpack.

It's 2:12 AM, my eyes are wide awake from Vietnamese coffee, my friend is complaining about her heart burn, and my

stomach growls. It's impossible to sleep. Staying up past sleeping hours, my stomach demands for food. Thinking about

the buttery and flakey croissant from Seaside Bakery from this picture I took previously. Biting into it, the hot cheese

oozes out, the ham is thick and salty…the jalapeños serve as a spicy kick at the end note. Seaside is open 24 hours,

temptation arises!

QUIET EMPTINESS

2011-07-20T22:14:00.000-07:00

the standard hotel overlooking downtown LA, Bottega Louie, DRUGS pharmacy in silverlake, Intelligentsia.

The smog, the bumper-to-bumper traffic, the hastiness, and drastic contrast between urban and wealth of Los Angeles

is why I love this city so much. In the midst of all the commotion, there's this sort of quiet emptiness about it. I need to

go back.

UNUSUAL UNWIND

2011-07-20T00:58:00.000-07:00

Thrift cream collar button up, American Apparel sheer black top, thrift mustard brown cardigan, 99 cent store skirt.

How some others unwind from their days would typically have to do with the television, internet, or laying. For me, it's

cleaning my closet. Today, I dress up and walk around in my heels: Pierre Hardy x Gap spring 2010 and Alexander

Wang Resort 2010. Buying uncomfortable shoes intending only to keep them for the sake of keeping them, I suppose

the term "collection," seems more justified. Note, I have a lot of free time on my hand. Will someone hand me a job

already?

YELLOWED

forever twenty one sunglasses, thrifted collared button up, j. crew button up, gap jeans.

A sunny afternoon in the midst of exams, I took my little cousins out for their first gelato at Joe's. He looked happy with

his mouth rimmed with smurf-blue ice cream, cheers.

ALL FOUR

2011-05-06T23:36:00.000-07:00

I left the oral surgeons office learning that all four wisdoms must be taken out. I suppose there was nothing else to do

but make up for it with some shopping. Ended up with spring/summer choices: a 1990's minimalist-inspired kitten heel

which reminds me of Reed Krakoff's approach to minimalism and use of multi-textural aesthetics, a "Jil Sander-red" linen

top, and an essential linen black tee.

SUMMER SPIRIT

2011-05-04T01:29:00.000-07:00

prabal gurung dress, marni necklace, reed krakoff boxer bag, zara heeled sandals, and marc jacobs curacao scent.

A tangent post to keep me sane while studying for endless hours on Freud's twisted theories of developmental

psychology. Here is an inspired outfit around the new Marc Jacobs perfume, Curacao. Curacao is a Caribbean

island; this scent scent follows as described:

"Topnote – Blood Oranges, Bitter Orange Bigrade, Lime, Mandarin

Midnote – Violet, Pear, Apricot

Drydown – White Moss, Amber, Musk, Sandalwood"

The anticipation of this scent arriving in my mailbox is just a reminder to end this semester on a strong note, because

something else, and much more exciting, is awaiting...

THREE YEARS

Three years, and back to this blog again. Everything has changed so drastically.
