p/s **right now is the week that richard, my production manager is on vacation

so i'm so tired at work.. eating candy all day! so bad!!

gah... mAKING LABELS FOR A LIVING. FML

feels like fall. really this time.

after months of thong sandals,

tank tops, crop tops, backless blouses and sheer madness,

it's time to get serious about clothes.

this is the season for wool coats, tights galore,

highwaisted jeans, dramatic silhouettes, menswear fabrics,

cable knit sweaters and sky high platform booties.

summer's over.

let the REAL dressing begin.

so last night, i met up with tiffany at 4100 but in actuality, it was to

meet with brian's last night in LA for a while :)

i love brian- he's really such an amazing friend

and i am so proud of him to be managing such a big

band and traveling all around the world with them

yesterday, i wore this really cute wool sweater that i found at a local korean shop.

i was surprised to find this at the santa anita mall (arcadia)

and it was a little lady who buys small pieces from Korea and retails it in LA.

she has really cute taste seeing that all the white moms in there

were going apeshit for her pieces.

so cute! only 80 dollaahs.

front view.
tank- active from hannah onie <3

jeans- j brand jeggings

shoes- perf snake ballet flats from jimmychoo

this is SUCH a cozy cute sweater because of the back.

the back has a elastic ruching and has the cotton blend

with eyelets on the bottom. i love the detailing and

shape of the sweater cardigan.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

today, i'm wearing docs, my jbrand jeggings (AGAIN!!) and

that 10 dollar UO sweater i got in texas that i LOVE.

professional photographer (jane) isn't here to take a picture of my outfit.

toozday SHOESday!

i really tried to wake up with ryan

at 6AM today.. but i really couldn't. So tired!

watched the new CASTLE last night..

>=) guilty embarrassing pleasures.

i know this blog is just for my eyes, and maybe a few others

but i think once i get the hang of things, and updating.. maybe even

getting tech savvy and going all design crazy... i'll start marketing

it through my FB and instagram.

just maybe.

silver pendant necklace- isabel marant

white button up- GAP

denim shorts- bought @ club monaco, LEVIS.

nude wedge- aldo

maybe people will actually like my daily outfits and get inspired.

maybe they won't.

who cares. fuck you anyway!

new obsession.

elin kling. be still my heart.

why are you so fabulous, fashion forward and beautiful.

i need to lose 10 lbs. now.

also, one of my dearest friends are coming to LA (LAMB) in november

and i need to plan outfits, buy something amazing and fabulous to obviously show off

(even if i'm broke as FUCK right now!) and probably go to skin care soon.

the price you have to pay when you're

living a fake fabulous life.

mondays fail.

i hate mondays.

woke up at 6AM to work out only to find that i can't even last on the treadmill for 15 minutes. DYING! how sad.

ANYWAYS

i urged ryan on doing this when we bought them a while back

and we finally got it done this weekend. we went to CB2

and got these candle holders a while ago..

but rye was too lazy to find nails and put them up.

I think they're so cute so I found the nails myself and demanded them to be finally displayed.

they're very fragile so you have to becareful lighting the candles

and putting them up but they're very pretty.

ryan's bedstand is a perfect corner area for candles as it sets a perfect setting for intimate settings..

*wink wink.

baahaha

enjoy! they were pretty cheap too.. we're really getting into designing the loft.

i mean, it's ryans place but i like to think it's the home that it is.. because of me.. :) teehee

this is what the bedstand looks like.

i love the little lantern (next to the lamp) i bought too.

that was from pottery barn.

also today is the first day of MEATLESS MONDAYS

ryan obviously is the one participating and i'm so proud of him

that he'd actually agree to this. he's such

a carnivore but i've been slowly turning him into a cow

(this is what he says, cause i only feed him grass)

healthy healthy healthy

packed sunday

sunday.

i typically like to use sundays as my one day to try and sleep in BUUUT i woke up so early because i was freezing my ass off due to the fact that parker decided to piss all over the bed sheets last night and we had to use the small sofa blanket for the two of us.

..............lame.

caught up on some CASTLE (shittiest best tv show ever) and read some of ONWARD while drinking my homemade coffee. which btw.. i want to buy a french press because a drip is juuuuussssssssssssssst soooo. .... bland. church, oinkster, target, laundromat for the huge blankets and came home for some baking and dinner.

at oinkster, i had a veggie burger, beet salad (they deep fry goat cheez on top! DELISH!)

and ryan had their cheese burger with a beer. so good!

to finish up watching the football game (i was bored)

i ordered a rootbeer float. YUM. oink oink.

outside of oinkster, rye took a pic of my outfit and he's actually in the pic too..

as the perfect shadow :)

white tee- james perse

cotton denim button up- heritage f21

asymmetric hem skirt- cheap monday

booties- dolce vitas

sackbag- got for free at the wildfox sample sale

baking some shuga cookies for YL team and RD team

tomorrow. last batch was a little burnt. FAIL! but whatever.

attempt #1

dinner&a movie now.

happy sunday.

catching up

so i've decided to make up for loss time by posting whenever i feel or can.. since i haven't really been doing a good job of doing this daily. (if you haven't read my very first entry, you should so you can get a drift of what i'm trying to accomplish).

today i worked in the morning but really didn't get much done. had to supervise some other workers and had no time to get any of my actual projects completed so... here it goes. after work, i decided to drop by KIMSKI and browse. the buyer does an excellent job of mixing in affordable downtown (jaba) outfits with the hard to find specialty vintage items they carry. i've posted about them before (post with the purple wranglers!!) i got this amazing black dress/cape thing that i will post a picture of soon. i've also decided to post what i buy because i realize that i always write what i buy but never post... hmmm. fail.

after my shopping adventure @kimski (which the benefit of knowing the owner means discounts fo lyfe woot woot) i picked up my 80$ dry cleaning which was in little tokyo as well. i really HATE doing dry cleaning in dtla because theres a little mom and pop shop in arcadia that literally costs me half the price of doing it in the city. the price you pay when you wear silk/cashmere and other beautiful fabrics that make me feel rich and fabulous.

le sigh.

ryan and i laid out at his pool (last tan lines for the year, i assume) while he read his market/stocks book and i read my own book- Onward. it's that starbucks book which is actually really great to read especially when you plan to own your own company. very inspiring.

i'm going to post a picture of an outfit i wore a few weeks ago that i didn't get a chance to post. i really loved high low skirts and dresses this year and this is another one i got at the LF sale. it's similar to the dress i posted previously of but this ones just a skirt.

enjoy!

CLU sweater (i got at a sample sale.. holla!)

LF skirt (got at a sale!!)

A'gaci booties

i've found that A'gaci has the cutest cheapest booties

that are the best to run around in at work.

i love cheap shoes for work because they get beaten up pretty fast

so.. don't expect me to bust out my Chanel flats at work.

gotta catch up on my new favorite show.. SUITS!! see jew latah

schmaturday.

work work work. play play play. focus focus focus.

so i was gone most of this week on a trip to see a potential new client (which i nailed!) in Houston TX. ryan was nice enough to come be my escort as we left on Monday night and returned on Thursday afternoon. We really had a good time together but we were really working a lot (really though!) so we didn't have much time to explore. Much to my surprise, I tried my hand at door to door sales and I think I grabbed some potential customers. These are smaller customers but they are what keeps the wheels going at my company. Very happy. The first night, we really didn't do much. We were at the crappier hotel (Crowne plaza something) and were kind of in a down mood because we learned parker's stitches had come out while we were gone. Noona (ryan's sister) took him to the Vet the day after to get restitched and all is well but we were really in a scare that night.

Tuesday night in houston

Wednesday and Thursday we checked into the Westin at the Galleria which was a lot nicer. I got an awesome deal at UO and bought a black loose cable knit for 9.99. We went out exploring and while Ryan did sales, I managed to explore and realize that most of the industry is run by the San Pedro mart. Wheels in head= turn turn turn. Is there a major city in the US that doesn't have a store full of JABA clothes?

Retail or Wholesale?

hmmmm...

anyway, enjoy the pichas

ryan enjoying our new room at the westin galleria

my outfit for dinner

Charming Charlie scarf I bought that day

Wilt slouchy top

JBrand skinny jeans

JimmyChoo perf snake skin flats

Goyard bag I use too much

We had dinner at Massraff's and it was sooo good.

Ryan had the scallops and I had the swordfish.

Champagne, Beers and dessert. I really love traveling/working with Ryan.

He's the push I need to get my goals going..

I hope he feels the same although he's been pretty lazy with work these days.

bleh week

i haven't posted since monday.. tuesday i was SUPER sick

with indigestion and wednesday i was so busy catching up from tuesday's absence.

last night, i made a veggie /chicken soup with rice. i wish i took pictures

but i didn't... :( i was too focused on on making it and eating it because i was so hungry/ sick. anyway it was a good experience. definitely want to try

and make it again during the rainy season!

didn't eat any of the chicken though... ;)

today i'm wearing my new wrangler vest

i got at the pcc flea market last week.

its awesome and got it for 15 bucks.

here's my instagram picture of it!!

it's super comfy and i can't wait to wear the shit out of it.

my whole outfit is pretty fall worthy as we're going straight

to dinner tonight cause its javis birsday. javi is jane's bff

and he's pretty awesome in general. one of those generally liked people.

really really nice. :) got him a barbie card and

stuck a lot of hello kitty stickers all over it. (OF COURSE.)

anyway in this pic, i'm wearing Jbrand cigarette jeans, my wranger vintage vest,

UO flannel (that i can't get rid of after like 4 years

... i should really stop getting attached to my clothes)

and a 291 printed shirt. 291 was a brand that

michael stars' son started i think.. it was ridiculously

overpriced but i'm sure i got it for free

when i was working at picket fences or something

because i would never pay 90 for a stupid shirt like this. or would i?

teheh. i'm also wearing the dolce vitas that i love so much. holla!

thanks jane for taking a bad pic first.. teheheh

she's pretty much my photographer for all my outfit needs. TEEHHEE <3

(if you couldnt notice, its always in our office next to the filing cabinets bahah)

CLASSY, i know.

happy almost friday!!

fish sausage bokkumbap

dinner!!!!!!!

this dinner was chosen by ryan and me because we were both lazy

but hungry so i had boughten this korean fish sausage at WOORI market

and really wanted to try it. fortunately, it was yummmyyyy!!!

i think i put a little bit too much butter in it but ryan said it was good.

i first sauteed the broccoli, cabbage and onions together with olive oil

and then i pan seared the sausage with the veggies.

in another pan, i started cooking the kimchi first,

then added the rice (while folding in the butter, then veggies/sausage mix).

all in all, it was successful.

will bring left overs for jane tomorrow.

i also think the bokkumbap would have been better if the rice was

at least a day or two old. too fresh= too mushy.

i would write more and have so much to say

but my butt cramps have started and i need to rest

good night and

see you tomorrow.

weekend nails

waiting at the vet..... fucking sucks. painted my nails at work today. got tips from refinery29 on how to do this. super rad... gonna try hombre nails next!!

october

i totally forgot

happy fucking october!

let's celebrate with a cute picture of parker.

obviously an instagram picture and i love it!!!

i sometimes bring my little guy to work with me.

this was a super hot day and my sisters ghetto ass

lexus doesn't have AC so he was pretty slober-ific during this ride.

he's my love.

sung

oops

so i didn't post yesterday.. DAMN!

.... anyway, I went out last night to celebrate some good new events at work. I'm really focused on making Young Label and Tag a bigger and successful company at the moment and yesterday really made me feel great about the things I've been working on. Ryan and I had dinner at home.. I made some fish with veggies/ put some pasta on the side for him. I cooked it in parchment paper which was neat but i definitely went way too crazy with the garlic. yeeks. We then strolled on over to spring street bar and had way too much whiskey and continued to stumble home around midnight. we're getting pretty old since we cant even stay out past midnight. what is the world coming to?

here's my instagram pic from dinner i made

and i wore tights for the first time this season and

its definately safe to say, that fall is here.

(as i'm wearing cut offs and a tank top writing this)

if you're wondering what kind of

tights i'm wearing, i'm wearing HANES stay ups

that i always get at TARGET because they aren't very opaque

which i love and stay up really well... (and are only 7.99!!)

this is a great buy because if i were to ever put on my

plush or agent provocateur tights and get a

massive hole or tear in them i'd be extremely upset as

they run 50$ and up... if yanow what i mean.

i'm such a sucker for pretty undergarments.

having a work-ful weekend. i really want to be wiping my ass with

hundred dollar bills by the time i'm thirty.

just sayin.
