A Recap on Life

These past few months have been an emotional struggle for me. Here's a quick recap of what has happened in my life these past few months.

I GRADUATED... yaaaayyy.... 

Now I am just been working and going through life.

I've had a few memorable experiences, both good and bad, but I can't complain. The good always overpowers the bad... I keep telling myself that.

To begin, I got to work at the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards and Kids' Choice Sports Awards, assisting their stylist. Which this eventually led me to having the honor of touching slime with my very own fingers! I grew up watching people on Nickelodeon get slime. I never in my life thought that one day I would get to actually touch it or be on the orange carpet. So yes, it was a big deal to me! (Ha!) It was a pivotal moment in my life. I wore my converse on the carpet, I just didn't get the memo that I would actually be outside (I usually work behind the scenes, you know doing the steaming... and more steaming).

In the midst of all the celebrities walking the carpet and being backstage, I saw David Beckham. He was right in front of me, and I had no idea who he was until the next day. Oh well. 

I went to Vegas and attended the Juan Gabriel Concert, the next say he was hospitalized for phenomena.

I saw The Game at Disneyland. Yes, the rapper. I don't know any of his songs, but that doesn't matter. I saw a celebrity at Disneyland and that's what matters.

I got into a car accident and my car got ruined, but that's OK because this led me to purchasing my very first car! =D

Then that led me to rethink my job at Disneyland and I am now looking for a new job. Somewhere closer to home or LA in the fashion industry, because after all I graduated this June and I am a struggling recent grad!

Oh, and have I mentioned that I went to Walt Disney World! It was an unforgettable experience!

Finally, I attended the On the Run Concert. Yes, I love Beyonce and I might have a slight obsession with her so I thought the concert was amazing!

Well this is my life at the moment. It's been unpredictable and at times I get very doubtful of where I'm suppose to go next. I'm just a twenty-something year old girl trying to figure out what I need to do in life... aren't we all?

Anyways, my favorite time of the year is almost here, I love the Holiday season!

Capturing Moments

You know those days, where you just wish to capture a moment and hold on to it forever, this was one of those days. Sand on my feet, a breeze in my hair and the smell of salty ocean water. Serenity and peace calms the mind and frees the soul.

Since I got this knitted sweater, I spend my days just wishing that a sudden cold hits Southern California. Although it's only summer, I've been finding any excuse to wear it, even at the beach. Good thing that it gets cold in the afternoons and at night, it gives me the perfect reason to wear it.

Current Thoughts

| Top: Ross | Shorts: Levi's | Shoes: Converse | Hand Wallet: Fossil |

Everyone says that your teenage years are the most difficult since you're trying to find yourself; however, I tend to disagree with that. Life after high school has sincerely been the most challenging years of my life and the challenge still continues. Took me six years to finally finish my bachelors degree and I am proud of that accomplishment, but I'm not satisfied. I'm finding true that having a degree is just not sufficed in this time in age. Employers ask for experience. How is one supposed to gain the experience if the chance is not given? I'm finding this to be my case. Although I've had internships, some work experience and now a degree, finding a career path seems to be my biggest challenge. The thought of what will become of me makes me feel unease and unsatisfied with my current accomplishments. Maybe it's a millennial trait, but wanting things (career, success) now are really testing my patience. Everyone I talk to says I will figure it out, I really hope I do.

On the brighter note, a week before commencement, which I missed because of delayed and canceled flights; I gifted myself a vacation trip to Walt Disney World. This was my favorite outfit taken at Epcot. I snagged this shirt at Ross on the day of my departure for $7 dollars! Besides the price, I absolutely loved the colors, print and back zipper detail. This place was great for walking, exploring and taking tons of pictures. I know soon I will have withdrawals from this place, but meanwhile I will continue to stay positive, focused, and hopeful.

Weekend Getaway

| Dress: LEVI'S | Shoes & Socks: Converse | Purse: Rebecca Minkoff | Lipstick:  em Michelle Phan in Wine Stain |

Las Vegas had a beautiful weather this past weekend. My family and I went on a small vacation for a concert. The morning of the concert, we went for a morning walk on the famous Las Vegas Blvd. I wore this dress by Levi's that I loved because it has a beautiful flower print and light denim material with my favorite white Converse sneakers. Lastly, I wore my favorite matte lipstick from em by Michelle Phan in Wine Stain color. I absolutely love this lipstick because it has such a vibrant color.

Tea Time

Recently my friend and I went to Barbara's Victorian Tea House and Gift Shop located in Rancho Cucamonga, it was my first tea house visit. We made reservations a day before, I was surprised we got reservations since many reviews suggested to make advance reservations. I was so excited to go to a Victorian style tea house I had to wear a tea length dress. I wore this dress once for my high school graduation. It's been stored in the back of my closet for a very long, but for this event this dress just made perfect sense.

The tea house is a small home with limited seating. It is only open for a very short period of time during the day. The place is so charming, enchanting and being built in 1908 it is now a historic landmark. From the outside, it looks just like a house, but once you walk inside the setting is fully decorated with antique Victorian decor and china glassware. The atmosphere and service was amazing, they have classical music in the background while the owner's daughter serves you your tea and meal. We got the Princess Patricia's Tea it started with a delicious soup, followed by a freshly baked scone, fresh fruit, four sandwiches, and a chocolate dipped strawberry and lemon bar for dessert. We had four different types of tea, all of which are Barbara's house blend according to her daughter. In addition, we were told the tea is imported from other countries such as Japan and Australia. Nonetheless, the tea was the best part and I can't wait to go back, dress up and try new teas. I really loved and enjoyed this experience.

A Special Memory

I've spend my morning looking through older pictures, which has led me to this post. I suppose we can say this is my second blog, my first blog (This and Other Stuff) was deleted a while ago. However, I missed my blog so this blog and specifically this post is dedicated to new beginnings and memories. I pulled up these pictures from a Disneyland trip a few years ago, aren't these knits so amazing?! My hair was also long, I miss it. So after all this rambling, let me introduce myself.
