  2. Style Update: Modcloth

    Wednesday, May 1, 2013


    Aria has started photo-bombing my style photos. She copies EVERYTHING we do, so her assumption is probably that when I have set the camera to the timer, she must also pose. Sometimes she also makes crazy faces - but that's for the next style post.

    Aria is also wearing new shoes, jacket and dress - all of which I love.

    Aria's shoes: Target
    Aria's jacket: London Fog via Unique
    Aria's dress: also Unique, unsure of brand


    Jacket: H&M
    Necklace: Cambodia (my name in Khmer)
    Undershirt: Express
    Dress: Tulle Clothing by Modcloth
    Belt: Unique thrift store, unknown brand
    Tights: Unknown 
    Black flats: Charlotte Russe
    White heels: Spring



    I only wore the heels for the photos and then switched to the flats to walk around in (Aria and I were walking around to several parks/playgrounds since it was a warm day and I didn't feel like doing that in heels).

  4. Style Update

    Saturday, March 30, 2013


    Yesterday was warm-ish (around 50 degrees) so I went outside to take some photos. I have been waiting for the weather to get warm so I can wear my dresses. 


    Scarf: a gift
    Jacket: H&M
    Sweater: BCBG MAXAZRIA
    Cardigan: Merona
    Dress: H&M
    Tights: Unknown
    Shoes: Alex Marie

    All of these items I've actually bought at Unique Thrift Store over time. 
    I'm pretty awesome at finding good stuff at the thrift store.
    Most of my closet is now thrift store buys. :)




    Linked up with Plane Pretty! Check out her style as well!

  5. Home Update

    Friday, March 29, 2013

    A few home updates since the last time... we (and by we, I mean Jhony) re-arranged Aria's room to make it less cluttered, hung more art up around the house, and I've bought some more plants (mostly fake, but a couple real succulents). Our apartment really doesn't get a lot of light into it, so real flowers don't last long even when I do get a chance to buy some.


    A vintage flour sifter/measuring cup I found at the thrift store - haven't actually used it, right now it's decoration.


    My - now organized - top-of-the-fridge. :) Where I keep my tea.




    Jewelry boxes. 


    Aria's bed. Loaded with stuffed animals - all of them were mine, some I've had since I was 5 years old!


    Aria's artwork above her changing table.


    Quilt from Cambodia hanging on the wall in Aria's room.


    Watercolor painting that Aria helped me with. :)


    Painting I did for Aria's room.



    Butterflies from Cambodia on Aria's door.


    Our gallery wall so far, All the artwork and photos are done by me except for the drawing at the top of the apple and orange kissing. :) That one was drawn for me by a friend back in high school.




    My new little succulent plants that I got at CVS. haha... I've had them for about a week and they seem to be doing fine. I've been on the search for the right pot to transplant them into but I haven't found the right one yet.





    My new-found love. One of the moms at our playgroup brought some of these and I have been addicted ever since. I went to Trader Joe's and bought a couple bags of my own only to discover how easy it is to down an entire bag. I ate both bags in about 3 days. And then I was sad. Mostly because the Trader Joe's is too far away for me to go very often. Lesson learned. Buy more coconut. :)
