top: an oldie but goodie, can't remember where from / skirt: target / belt: f21
tights: hue / shoes: madden girl, belk / nails: OPI jade is the new black
it has been one of the gloomiest and rainiest weeks that we've had in a long time.
but it hasn't kept me down. like the energizer bunny, i keep going and going and going...
and so we keep on truckin' - even here on da blog with this week's current obsession wednesday!
holla! aren't you proud of me?
i'm still sticking true to the no-shopping for awhile rule but i did cave on a little window shopping. hasn't hurt me yet (tortured a little maybe) but not hurt.
platforms like it's the 70's.
trying to fight this desire for platforms like no other.
i had my share of platforms in high school and where did they go?
donated or thrown away...like the trend.
yet here they are, back in my face like that last cookie in the cookie jar that you know you shouldn't have but want. let's see how long i last.
hunger games obsession continues.
ever since miss lauren mentioned the fab dudes auditioning for the peeta/gale roles on her blog/twitter, she got me all pumped all over agiain about the hunger games. not that it takes much to get me pumped up over one of the greatest teen fic eva, but it def. fueled the fire! so i personally wish that whoever is casting the movie picked no-name actors for the roles but with those that have auditioned, these two are my picks - lucas till for peeta, drew roy for gale. summer 2012, you are way too far away from me.
filipino desserts.
this filipino dessert known as puto defintely hit the spot yesterday when mom made them. so perfect for a cold, rainy day - these come out hot and fresh. i think its like eating butter but light and fluffier and oh so sweet! it's even better with little drizzle of filipino caramel. i may or may not have eaten 12 of them yesterday. oops.
whatcha obsessin' over these days?
much love.
[happy wednesday, friend.]
p.s. we got a rockin' giveaway going on here by Amanda Lynne Designs!
Those deserts look amazing!! Mmmm! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love your top with the belt, sometimes the oldies are the best:-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the filipino desserts look yummmmmy!
I love the mixing of patterns in your top & umbrella!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally hear you on the platform thing, those Jessica Simpson ones have been haunting me :(
AND those desserts look DELISH!
Your umbrella is so cute! Haha you're doing better on your spending ban than I am. But I'm trying really really hard! Those desserts your mom made were really good! I probably ate 12 of them myself that day! I didn't try them with caramel! Probably a good thing! Haha. Yeah for more Hunger Games! ;-)
ReplyDeletewhoa!!! your food photography is improving!! great pics girl!!! :)

ReplyDeleteOh I love puto! Soo good. I love it when they are pastel coloured (not that it changes the taste but they are pretty).
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable. And I like your umbrella!
As for Hunger Games I'm forever in love. I'm starting to like Lucas Till. I was a Hunter Parrish fan because I've seen so many good fan art. But I don't mind Lucas. x
LOVE the colors, girl! I'm in love with your blue leggings as usual haha. And I am with you there with the whole platforms obsession. I an so in love with the blowfish ones & the jessica simpson ones!
ReplyDeletelucas till has crept up a little higher on my peeta list too! :)
ReplyDeleteand okay, i'm gonna leave now and get dinner because the photos of that puto is making me hungry! :P
I hold on to everything I still have my high school platforms. I'm a pack rat.

Oh that PUTO looks delicious! I'm so jealous of how you "pull off" your blue tights... I could only dream of being able to do that ;)
ReplyDeleteI will forever be sad that I passed on the Danys when I saw them for cheap at the Rack!
ReplyDeleteone of my closest friends is filipino and I LOVED all the desserts her mom would make! really everything was delicious though. I'd go over in high school for a major food fest :)
ReplyDeleteSo it looks like Josh Hutcheson will be playing Peeta. Not sure if I agree with this. Liam Hemsworth is an okay choice for Gale.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had puto in ages!
