Breeze through my Window.

I love the weather lately, it feels more like summer than spring. I have been wearing dresses all week, except for today. I wore my prep shorts with a sheer flower blouse, that I am sad to say no longer fits me :( today is the last day I will be wearing it, I will pass it on to my sister. My co-worker did comment on my outfit and said I looked like "summer". Her comment made me smile.
Here at home it feels like summer, I am in my room, on the bed typing away and looking out the window. Outside I can see lanky palm trees swaying in the breeze, the rolling hills of Malibu and paper white sail boats.
I love this season, I have been lifted out of my winter funk, this year more than ever I looked forward to daylight savings. Losing an hour of sleep doesn't matter when I am gaining an extra hour of sunshine.

Housewife Duties.

Tomorrow will be my 5th month wedding Anniversary (Gato and I are counting our Oct wedding). I have to say I love being a house wife. I take care of my man and he takes care of me. He gives me lovin' and he buys me presents...while I sit on the couch drinkin' fine wine and eating bon bons.
I Love You Gato GUTIERREZ!

Thrifty Shopping!

This week is Pay day Friday! I cannot wait! I need to go out and score, I want to find a jean jacket for my 3 year old fashionista niece, some scarves for my sister, and cigarette pants for myself. Were going to hit the thrift stores early Saturday morning. The South Bay is not renowned for its thrift shops, sure there are a few vintage spots but they cannot touch the cool, hip feel of L.A shops. Cruise down La Cienega and you will see what I mean, cruise down Long Beach, Cruise by any of the shops my fave local fashion icons hit up and you will see. You will see that the city is the place to be.

I'm Back and so is Spring.

I have been gone for a while and now I am back! My hubby has encouraged me to pick up my blogging. I need a push every now and then. What have I been up to? I have been trying to fill up my closet with Nautical style pieces of clothes. I have grown out of every pair of pants I own. This winter left me round and rosy. Rosy thanks to the lovely shade of blush my sister gave me for my b-day and the tube of red lipstick she gave me for xmas. I need to cut my hair, maybe shed some pounds and write more.
Yesterday I picked up a couple of t-shirts and a cardi from H&M. Its so gorgeous, I shouldn't have bought it really but I was not allowed to take it back, even if it meant I would not have any money to do laundry. Who wants to do laundry anyways, when I can buy new clothes.

Zombies and Chombie

I just thought of my Halloween, i was mentally roadblocked for the longest time and I couldn't think of anything or anyone to dress up as and then inspiration hits me, at work of all places. I usually cannot get passed the robotic, mundane, day to day, tasks, anyways!
Gato and I are sitting in the truck during our lunch and were messing with the radio, re programing all our stations (for reasons I will divulge in another day, or not) and "Dreaming of You" starts playing, I have not heard this song in 10 years and then Gato starts changing the station in the middle of the song and he hits a Spanish radio station and "Biddi Biddi Bom Bom" is playing, I go wild, I mean I loved Selena, we all did back in the day. I kept singing her songs through out the day (along with Yellow Submarine, which I am teaching Luna, she knows the chorus).
Earlier that day Gato came across the coolest online event at work, its a...get this...Zombie Prom 2009! How cool is that, I have been wanting to be a Zombie but not just any old Zombie.
So I am going to be Selena and a Zombie!!!
I think me dressing up as Selena Zombie will be awesome and all kinds of wrong!
Let's see how it turns out! I hope I have the time and most important I hope my sis can help me with the make up, most of the time my costumes are home made, which are the best. With a little imagination and a lot of liquid courage, I'm ready to start offending the world...dressed up as one Zombie at a time.

Lazy Daze

I have been too lazy and uninspired to write. I had a fabulous week last week and it doesn't feel right to have to go back to work after getting married. I wish I could take a looong honeymoon and travel around the world, go shopping and eat at outside cafes. I would like to go visit museums and take walks in fragrant gardens, shoot Polaroid and people watch.
Gato and I are going to save up enough vacation time to take two weeks off next summer and go up north and Midwest.

Birthday and Wedding in the same week.

My birthday was yesterday, dirty 30!
I am also going to be getting married (again...and in front of witnesses) on Saturday Oct 17.
I am excited to be celebrating this new chapter in my life with all my friends and family. I know I sound so cheesey and before I let this post become full of cliches I will stop.
I went out to lunch with my dad and Gato, we went to an all you can eat Japanese buffet. That's a sample of my dessert plate up top.
I went shopping with my sisters and bought a new blue cardi and a navy striped tunic (which I'll wear as a dress). An H&M just opened up at Del Amo, now I don't have to go all the way to Beverly Center! I'll post pics of my new purchases later. I gotta go get ready for the day, my father -in -law flies in from Alaska this afternoon and my friend Ian is driving down from SF. He is going to be the best man and maid of honor...lol!
Let the Festivities begin!
