Rain Clouds.

Again, here is Henry (also known as Hen Pen). I bought him this black raincloud t shirt from the Little Bean shop. It suits him quite well.
Audra has notified me that he has worn it every day since I gave it to him. Today he had a different t shirt on, noticed this one being folded from the dryer, and promptly changed back into it.

I love him.

Look for Less: Kicking Around

Let's be honest. We don't live in a dream world where we can buy this whole outfit for a mere $1,204 not including taxes and shipping. We live in a reality where we are forced to find alternatives, that can be just as satisfying and cute no matter what anyone says.

I got a humorous email from Maria yesterday that said "Even if I had the money, I'd rather buy a plane ticket to Dallas rather than those boots!"

So I thought..why not come up with some alternatives? I perused Modcloth and found some cuties for dresses. For 1/4 of the price!! Can you believe it? Obviously not an exact match, but these have the same "feel" of the Anthro look at a fraction of the cost.

I particularly love this one..and the name!!

Here are some Target boots I found for less than 1/8 of the price!!! I do think that spending between $100-150 on boots is very conservative, so feel free to hit up Steve Madden, DSW, or Zappos..

Some Modcloth coats were reminiscent to the plaid one on the model...at less than 1/3 of the cost!

So let's see here...if we total up the most expensive options on this list...we get $243...then go purchase your Anthro head wrap and tights for another $50...not even $300 for the whole look when it was $1,204 for the Anthropologie look!!! What's that you say? Oh I know, I was thinking the same. Now you have extra money for other things...such as food, shelter, and rent...just kidding. I was thinking more about accessories (scarves anyone?), cupcakes, and music.

Kicking Around

Thank you Anthropologie for sharing this magnificently gorgeous outfit with me called "Kicking Around".


The truth? I can afford the tights and the head wrap. fml.


Why do you show me outfits I cannot afford? Can we have a less expensive option as well? Pleeeeeeeeease? I love cool weather, and your clothes...so it would be great. Thanks.

Neon Crush.

the Best Balinese Banquet

This weekend was a blast. My cousins and sisters are so much fun to hang out with. On Saturday, we all pitched in to make a Balinese banquet for Erica, since she and Evan will spent a month there on honeymoon.

Buddha sat at one end of the table and the wine pairings at the other :)

Cute candle lanterns, flowers by Virginia, pretty patterns, and menu fans.

The lake was misting over as the sun set!
