Mod Flappers
















Hey guys!

Finally! Here are the pictures of my sister's and I birthday weekend. We both wanted to have a themed dinner and since we both love the 1920's flapper era, we went for a Great Gatsby themed dress code :P. We celebrated in our hometown in  downtown Long Beach at a beautiful new restaurant called: Bo Beau , which specializes in American/ French cuisine. We tried many yummy appetizers and dishes, and guess what I tried escargot for the first time! But let me tell ya it actually didn't taste too bad lol! My favorite appetizer though had to be the charcuterie board, and the salmon tartare with bread and chives/rosemary cream. Delish!! After dinner we  headed to the Federal Bar for quick pics and then went back to my sisters' humble abode and watched The Great Gatsby movie, snacked on yummy treats, and toasted with champagne and raspberries. Overall, such a great night spent with great company!
Thanks guys for the gifts and making it such a special night. :)


PS- Happy Thanksgiving!

Birthday Week Madness























(Images via my phone)



Hey all!
It's been a hectic month lately, but at least I got some time off to spend with my family to celebrate my birthday, it actually went on for a couple of days. My sis and I started off my birthday shopping in Old Town Pasadena, another day we went to downtown LA's Pershing Square to go ice skating with the fam, followed by DTLA's "The Last Bookstore", window shopping at The Grove, venturing out around LA, and attending free concerts. Fun fun! BTW I'm loving the Christmas spirit and decor everywhere, I know it's still a bit too early but I just love the holidays and xmas songs!! Yesterday my sis and I celebrated our birthdays by having a "Great Gatsby" flapper themed party! So stay tuned there are more pictures coming your way! 

Happy week!

PV Hiking




















(Images taken with my phone)




 I finally got a chance to go out hiking to  Palos Verdes Bluff trails. This is without a doubt one of my favorite trails for hiking just because of this amazing view! ...Seriously, it never gets old. There's no place like home! I truly missed hiking here, it's been a while and there was no better feeling than just hiking with great company!
