maybe, yes, I'm strange

Over the weekend, James and I went to my aunt's place for my cousin's first birthday party! Warning: this is an irrelevant, picture-heavy post, but I was just having fun with James' XSI.



Such an amazing penthouse. I love the decor, and it looks much better when it's not toddler-proofed.

Birthday girl opened her presents with her mommy, selfishly ran away with her toys, then crashed from partying so hard. She is mixed half Vietnamese and half white. Jealous; Asian+White offsprings are gorgeous from birth!

Vietnamese cuisine is my absolute favorite... then soulllll food.

After an hour of listening to Itsy Bitsy Spider on the guitar and watching a really pretty clown work the room, James and I had to get out... We walked a few blocks to Olvera Street. As you walk down a plaza of street venders, you're somewhat overwhelmed by the culture's richness and beautiful, vibrant aesthetics. Definite tourist stop. 

I totally dressed down, but lately, this has been my omg-I-have-to-leave-the-house-now outfit. And James scored these sweet shoes on eBay, and I can't stop staring at his feet in envy of such a good deal.

On me:

• Shirt: Chloé
• Jeans: Levi's

On James:

• Cardigan: Cloth + Logic (JustJared did a sweepstakes, and James and I spent one night spamming the comment box for this, and he won! I laughed so hard when he told me he got an email from JustJared for his shipping address. I think, combined, we contributed a good 1000 comments.)
• Shirt: American Apparel
• Jeans: Levi's
• Shoes: Comme des Garçons (so sexy, right?)
