I'm back! With only 2 more days before Christmas, I thought I would never find time to blog. With the little time I have left, I nabbed these two 1-foot black and white trees (50% off too - what a steal!!) at Borders, ignored the traditional colors of green & red, and used my love of pink and cuteness in the decorations. Hint: the white christmas tree was decorated with my food cell phone charms <3 ;D By the way, can you tell I'm going back to my old self again? (Hence the new banner change) I'm still tied to minimalism, but I felt like I was losing my creativity when I decided to cut out all the girly, glittery stuff in my life. I felt shall I say, well, boring. Anyway, I'm still trying to find the right middleground in which I can be very comfortable in where it's not too much of a good thing, but not cutting out myself from things entirely that I lose my personality, but let's just say, I'm going with the flow. Does this make any sense? LOL
But anyway! I am so relieved that I finally have a chance to update! I missed blogging very much as well as the supportive blog community and my other blogger friends, and from now on, I will try to squeeze more time to blog even through the busy times. :) Although Christmas is in just two days, I been having fun with my Iphone (yes, I finally have one!), and the convenience of taking pictures is very handy especially in San Francisco where I tried to capture the city holiday charm going on. I'm in love with this app called Instagram where you can share your photos with other people, and also use photo filters with cool names like Poprocket, Earlybird, and nashville (my favorite). If you have an Iphone, you should download this app, it's free too :) My account name on there is Pinksugarichigo, let me know if you follow me, I'll follow you back. :)
Before I end this post, I wanted to do a quick recap on some of the things I managed to squeeze in the past month, despite being busy 24/7 with work and school.
Cafe Bellini
Because I was so stressed with finals and working almost 40 hours a week, I needed a break after one of my classes. I was walking with my bf Ian, up and down Powell St. near by Union Square, and randomly walked in this place called Cafe Bellini. To my luck, it was Happy Hour! I had a Pinot Grigio white wine with calamari, and it just felt so good to finally relax!!!!! It's been awhile since we went out to eat anywhere, and just being here in a beautiful lighted atmosphere, and the Christmas tree shining in the corner, it put me in a good mood. Sometimes with the busyness of life you just need to slow down, and go out and treat yourself at a nice restaurant in awhile. I highly recommend it!Holiday Food and Drinks
One thing I love about the holiday season, is the special holiday drinks and food on the menu. I love the Gingerbread Latte that they sell at Seattle's Best Coffee in the Borders bookstore! It's so tasty, and they have a cute little gingerbread man cookie peeking out of the cup. I had this with a slice of peppermint chocolate cake, it was soooo good. I hope they'll still be having holiday drinks after Christmas is over, I still want to taste the other ones they have in the menu.
Thanksgiving Coordinate
On Thanksgiving, Ian and I went to his friend's house for Thanksgiving and this is what I wore. I realize the leopard jacket looks really shapeless around my body, but it's probably the way I was posing..
