Querido Papi:
Thank you for everything!!! Thank you for having the patience to sit at the library with me when I was in high school. Thank you for being so understanding in letting me spread my wings and fly when I went away to Georgetown. Thank you for raising me with values and morals that I one day want to pass on to my own children. Thank you most of all for always being there and being so supportive.
Te quiero mucho Papi!!!
Sinceramente,
Christina

Jeffrey Campbell “Prospect” Oxford
I have absolutely fallen in love with these!!! Sadly the biggest they go is a 10 :(
I really do wish I wore a smaller size in shoes. Still a gorgeous pair of shoes.

Coffee date dress

Next pattern for me will be the Coffee date dress found on Burda Style. I’ve actually been tackling this dress since my last year of college, but needless to say I’ve failed at it miserably time and time again. However, this time I will not fail and I will be successful! I found this really useful tutorial over at Grosgrain and I will pass on this very helpful tutorial. :) I recently bought some Michael Miller fabric on etsy in navy polka dots. I think it will turn out to be a gorgeous summer addition. I’ve been spotting lots of cute dress on modcloth.com and shopruche.com, but sadly student loans are crepping up on me so I can’t really afford to spend my extra cash on clothes. So my solution is to make more dresses myself, of course that also means buying muslin, because I always seem to mess up somehow. Actually now that I think about it I might just make a muslin mock up of the bodice since I seem to get stuck on that part a lot. Hopefully this goes smoothly and I can have a new dress by Friday.

LMU

After taking a whole year off from school, well not really since I took a few child development courses last fall, I’ve decided to take the plunge and apply for graduate school. I’ve been so hesitant, mostly because I keep changing my mind every other day. Due to the fact that I have been scared to take the next step in my life. So today my application to LMU is due, which brings me to my next point. If you have ever lived in LA or visited LA you know that you have to leave at least an hour before your scheduled time of arrival because traffic is horrendous. Case in point: I had to leave my house at 615 in order to get to Westchester by 715am, so I can be at LMU by 7:45. Yes, I know its ridiculous, because I still have to duke it out with morning commuters to get to work asap!!! Hopefully I won’t be too late. At this point, I am exhausted!!! I cannot wait to get home tonight and rest for a bit.

Cruising along...

Cruising Along Dress, I just absolutely love the dresses on Modcloth.com. I always find gems and sometimes they are sold out, which is a huge bummber. However, I’m definitely adding this dress to my list of dresses that I wanna buy, but I really don’t have the money to do so all at once.

Local church festival

Friday turned out to be a fun day. I came home from work and went to the local church fair with my mom and little sister. We actually bumped into a friend of mine with her daughter and grand kids. Lots of good food, music & rides. I also realized that I cannot ride anything that spins too much without getting nauseous. Sadly, I think this means I’m getting old. My mom even had a beer!! My mom never ever really drinks, so I had to just take a quick picture of her with her beer. We also played a round of loteria (Mexican version of bingo) and I lost. My mom won the first round, and she got a toy car as a prize, its for my nephew.
Fun times!! I cannot wait for the rest of the summer to bring more fun and good times :)

Afternoon Company Dress

Afternoon Company Dress
I just love this dress from modcloth.com, definitely my next dress to add to my wardrobe.

Oh kate spade how I love your clothes!!! Just gorgeous in every single way. I have just absolutely fallen in love with your beeline benedicta cardigan. Too bad, its way out of my budget, but hey a girl can dream, can’t she!?

Another lovely dress...

I just absolutely love this dress from Anthropologie. I love the yellow, they even have a gorgeous navy color as well. I just really dislike the price tag, but I love the dress. Perhaps I’ll get it if its in stock at my local Anthro store.
