You know we're on each other's team...

Happy late Christmas babies!

I'm back in Santa Cruz after a great week at home. I actually didn't know I was getting back so soon after Christmas but I think I might be back next week anyway. Also I surprised the boss man today at work and I feel like it really made his day and yeah I'm a happy girl. Smiles.

If you have followed me for a while, you know my fam and I celebrate together on Christmas Eve. And it was awesome. I'm really into the plaid trend thing right now so when I saw this skort at work, I knew I had to wear it on Christmas. It was kinda perfect.

With work and what not, maybe I'll see you guys in the new year, maybe sooner. I don't know but I hope you all have an amazing end to 2013! Love yous.

I just started living...

So I know I said I was going to post an outfit before I left for LA but I didn't so I'm sorry about that. Everything was so hectic when we were leaving. I just wanted to spend time with certain people and finish shopping and what not up in Santa Cruz. But anyway.

I just got back to my parents' house from hanging out at my sister's all weekend and of course I had a grand time. We got the traditions done like watching Little Women and taking a Christmas tree picture at the Grove. It was a little short for me but sweet all the same. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my adventures.

As far as my outfit goes, I felt so Christmas-y with the red plaid pants and the fur. But it was a good thing. Also my shoes are a new addition to my collection thanks to the boss man and they're basically perfect. He's a good listener. Smiles.

I'll see you all soon! xo

So excited for Christmas!

We're here tonight...

Merry Christmas Eve! I thought I'd sneak in a Fave Fives for you before Christmas. Here's what I'm currently loving at the moment! Smiles.

Now most of it is holiday themed but um hello, it's the holidays!

1. Fun tights.

I'm still searching for the perfect pair which is annoying. And I love me some shorts any time of the year so dress up your legs ya'll.

2. Festive food.

What can I say? I'm already a sucker for just food in general, but if it has the colors red and green or a Christmas tree on it or a snowman, I just die. It just tastes better to me.

3. Candles all the time.

I forgot how much I love burning candles since I didn't bring any up with me to SC. Now that I'm home I've been burning about three at a time. And it's amazeballs.

4. Severe eyebrows.
All thanks to one Cara Delevingne. I've been filling in my eyebrows lately even though they're thick already, but it's all goodie. Anyway, love this girl. Love her eyebrows.

5. Christmas sweaters.

Okay this is an obvious one, but still. Who doesn't love a Christmas sweater? Bonus points if it's super ugly. I can't get enough.

Happy Christmas to all! xo

If you're reading this, yay to you for surviving the end of the world and being a badass!

Sorry for the lack of posts on here since being home.

It's just been family time here so I haven't had any time to post anything. I got home and the very next day I had a sister weekend which was amazing. I'll post about that soon hopefully.

I thought I would just give you guys some holiday spirit with the photos from the Fashion Team's holiday photoshoot "Handful of Glitter." If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some sneaky peeks that I posted while it was happening. One of our models didn't show up and again I had to fill in, but I didn't mess it up! The photos turned out great and we had such a great time shooting. Smiles.

Happy holidays everyone! Hopefully I will see you all before Christmas, but if that doesn't happen then I wish you all an amazing holiday! xo

But I will definitely post some little things here and there, like today's post.

So Christmas is in a few weeks so I've decided to share what's on my lust list this year. Smiles.

What's on yours?

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Sorry this is so late, but if you follow my Twitter or Insta you may have seen what I was up to at home.

It's my last night home so I thought I'd post tonight. I have to say, even though my break wasn't very long, it was just really nice being home. I can't believe it's been two months.

I've missed this place. It sucks because I didn't have enough time to go to all the places I wanted to go or see a lot of people, but thankfully, winter break is only a couple weeks away. I'll have all the time in the world. Smiles.

So did anyone go Christmas shopping? People are cray.

Here's to you...

Merry day after Christmas everybody!

I hope you all got what you wanted since you wouldn't have to go to any of the busy malls today. I was fortunate enough to get stuff I actually liked from my amazing family. Thank goodness. No returns here. Smiles.

So as you may have seen from last year's Christmas post, and the year before that, my family and I celebrate Christmas mostly on the eve but we see other family on the actual day. Filipinos have this thing called Noche Buena where we have a little feast on the night of Christmas Eve and then exchange gifts at midnight. We were at my parents' house this year and it was a grand time. More pictures to come.

My last two Inspiration Wednesdays have been a little late so this week I thought I should start early for you guys.
These past two days, I have been with my sister since I slept over her house on Monday and we just had an amazing time and did the things we used to do which is super fun. Also, I saw Drive, which is an amazing movie. Love. Ryan Gosling, yeah. Gorge. Anyway, so today we, along with her friend Maeghan, totally went extreme thrifting today, which I always love. I get into a zone where my hands keep moving crap around but i don't even feel them. Yeah I'm an odd one but I love thrift stores. If you don't love thrift stores, there's something wrong with you. Maeghan took us to this place and I literally had to dig to find stuff. As you can see, there were piles and piles that we went through. I found some great stuff, I can't wait to show you.

Which brings me to Inspiration Wednesday. And it's simple, really. Thrift/vintage stores.
It's probably been about a couple weeks since I've been to any thrift store and today made me miss it very much. Most of my favorite pieces of clothing are either thrifted or vintage. I love it because you never know what you might find. It makes me so happy when I find things that I'm not actually looking for, and the surprise is amazeballs. Yes I frequent the usual Goodwill and Salvation Army, but the hole in the wall places, and huge warehouses are the ones that make me incredibly happy. Like today.

How's everyone's holiday shopping?
I'm almost done thank goodness. I've realized during Christmas time, people spend more time hustling and bustling than enjoying the company of others at actual Christmas events.
But anyway, I'm so excited for this week. Exactly one week until Christmas. I also get to sleep over my sister's house and of course we are going to have a jammin' time. Oh and today is the season finale of Dexter. Big smiles all around.

I didn't get to post this earlier but last weekend I went a family event where my sister sang. It was the first time this season where I got to wear a party dress. I had a good time. I ate lots of cupcakes.

So let's set the world on fire...

I apologize for being a bad blogger.

It's December and I hate that I'm not giving you guys any Christmas cheer. From now on, I promise I will be here for you all. So I missed Inspiration Wednesday this week (again), but don't worry I have one for you guys and it's a goody.

I'm surprised I haven't done an Inspiration Wednesday on this yet because it's a big part of my life. I've talked about this many times before on this blog and that is Glee. Since this show began three years ago, I knew I always had something to turn to because no matter what was happening, this show could make me smile. There are no other shows about music or theatre, so being the drama queen I am, Glee has been perfection in everything to me and no one should be surprised that I am completely in love with this show.

I thought about doing Glee for Inspiration Wednesday because on Wednesday something amazing happened. I was hanging out with bestie/honeybee Eddie in Pasadena and we decided to check out the Glee filming that was happening. We ended up meeting a couple people and we were ecstatic. Smiles.

With Cory Montieth, who we almost didn't recognize because of his huge ass parka. He was so sweet.

This is Grant Gustin who plays Sebastian. Even more gorgeous in person. He told Eddie he looked like Blaine.

Eddie and his Warblers, Curt Mega, Dominic Barnes, and Riker Lynch. They were so fun and so nice.

Such a great night. Could have been a little better if we met more people but we actually did see Lea Michele, Chord Overstreet, and Chris Colfer.

Smiles.

Loved this song already, so I was extremely happy that the Glee cast covered it last week.

So it is Thursday but I have an Inspiration Wednesday for you guys.

I apologize for not doing this yesterday but I am here now and that's all that matters.

My dumb closed eyes. I was just too happy...

Last night I went to Monrovia's Christmas parade and got inspired by all of the Christmas spirit. Also, I watched Elf before I went to sleep too, but anyway. I thought about what to wear to a holiday party since everyone out there has at least one Christmas party to go to during the holidays.

I go to many family parties and friends parties during Christmas and what do I see? A sea of black. Winter time doesn't mean wear black even though I know it makes sense. I've been guilty of wearing the LBD because it just always looks good. You don't have to listen to me (since I'm wearing another black dress this Saturday to a family party), but I think you should. Any color could be worn during the holidays as long as it's done right.

On Thanksgiving, I'm sure all of you watched A Very Gaga Thanksgiving and how incredible it was. Though the majority of what Lady Gaga wore was black, she changed it a couple times and threw in some different colors. I loved every single outfit.

Anyway, smiles.

Watch this amazing music video.
