Naughty Shopping - Fashion Island

You know how I've been saving money, and staying within budget and all. Well, I've been very, VERY naughty because for the past couple of weeks I've been shopping. SHHHH don't say anything! I know, I know. But hello, in my defense, I have a new job and I needed clothes. And clothes I got.

Remember the day that I went to heaven? Well this was my second destination, fashion island. I love that place, I just had to go! And here's what I bought that day...

Yea, I know you already saw me wearing that here. But I wanted to emphasize the detail of the shirt. I really love that graphic. And of course I totally heart my vest. They are both from Urban Outfitters, both on sale and both medium.

 Yellow mini skirt, also from Urban Outfitters. 

Blue tights and yellow earrings from F21.

I spent like $60 on all of these items. I've already worn two of them and I'm trying on things to go with my skirt and my tights.

Awards and Shotouts

I got an award YAY!!!!! [Ok, make that 2] Lovely Meagan from Megs7827 gave me the Honest Scrap award.

The award is to honor those who write from the heart. The rules state that I should tell you 10 things about myself you don't already know and then pass it on to 10 bloggers of note.

Talk about timing. After I had just finished writing my "100 Truths About Me" post, I suddenly need to come up with 10 more! Holy Jesus! But, apparently I was still on that mindset, and was able to do it all in one day. Wheew.

10 More Things You Don't Know About Me:

1. One of my favorite snacks is crackers with butter and cheddar cheese on top.

2. Back home, my room was painted lime green, bright orange, blinding yellow, and vibrant blue.

3. I had restylane injected on my lips once.

4. I always went to private school. One Baptist, one Presbyterian, and the other two were Catholic.

5. One of my favorite artists of all time is Joan Miro.

6. I own over 15 bathing suits. Which I obviously don't wear anymore thanks to the weather!

7. I hate ironing. I don't do it. EVER. If something needs to be ironed, the honey does it. At home, my dad did it. But, I'm considerate, so I don't buy clothes that need ironing.

8. My hair on my head doesn't grow. For real!!! It's been that length for like the past three years. However, I need to shave my legs everyday!

9. I'm the most allergic person on the planet. I'm allergic to cats, hair dye, sea food. And many other things  that doctors have never been able to identify.

10. I absolutely hate the feeling of wet hair on my back or shoulders.

And now, I pass this award to...

1. Lilu from LivitLuvit

2. Lisa from Just Lisa, No Filler

3. Liz from It's Unbeweavable!

4. Nic from Pinknic's Planet

5. Brown Girl from Brown Girl Blogs

6. Tia from Clever Girl Goes Blog

7. The Novelista Barista from The Novelista Barista DUH!

8. Robyn from Fashionista 514

9. Jess from Du Wax Loolu

10. Mayra from life is BANANAS.

And Deanne from Dream Sequins gave me The Fancy Pants award. I love this!!! The honey always calls me smarty pants. LOL! Anywhozers, I am giving this award to:

1. Kelly from Lions, Tigers and Fashion OH MY!
2. Hanh from Life in Travel
3. Maegan from ...love Maegan

Love your blogs peeps!! Keep it up. Also, I want to take this moment to mention two other awards that I've earned in the past, and I'm pretty sure I didn't mention them. I really don't know [can't remember]. But I probably didn't cause I was a newbie and didn't know eff about this whole biz. The lovely Sierra from OceanDreams gave me the Blog Lovin' Award and Gerri Ward from Shoes From Around the Globe gave me the Butterfly Blogger Award. These two are amongst my favorite bloggers. I seriously love them and their blogs, so go check them out. I've always had the picture of the awards on my sidebar, and they link back to them, but just in case, yaneverknow.

At The Fleas - Part III: The Surprise

This is how the previous post of this series ended.

...I saw the coins I wanted to get my dad, I asked for them, the sales guy handed them to me, and just as this happened, I SPOTTED ONE OF MY FAVORITE CELEBRITIES IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD standing there a mere two feet away, also looking at the coins. I died. Came back to life, took pictures...

Ok, so without further ado [because I know all of you are dying to know, right, RIGHT???], I saw Robi Draco Rosa. For those of you who have been living under a fugly rock don't know who he is, prepared to be dazzled [and NOT by Rob Pattz].

The story: So, as I stood there seriously pondering if this was actually him, I say to my bf, [exact words] "ese tipo se parece a Robi" which means that guy looks like Robi. He looked and then he looked back at me like OMG, YES! I really don't know what happened next in detail, all I know is that I was holding on to him for dear life taking a picture with him, arms wrapped around him, still don't know why. He is so tall! OMG and his skin, and his face, his look, his eyes, OMG. So, I took my picture, thanked him, and let him go, SADLY. I asked the honey if he wanted a picture, he said no, then he was like " I should, cause then I will regret it". So we went back, stalked him a little bit, took another pic. He is the NICEST, super humble, he wasn't bothered at all, it was like we were just good 'ol friends that ran into each other. I'm in love! Even more than I was before! You can read his bio here.

The irony: The night before our flea market adventure we were on his webpage!!! I mean this is how much we love this guy and his music. We were on phantomvox looking to see if he was on tour or not. Aaaaaand on our way there we had the iPod on shuffle, and like 4 of his songs came up, and we were just talking and talking about him. So imagine my surprise when I saw him standing right in front of me. O M G.

This was how I was talking after that: OMG OMG OMG Robi. OMG OMG OMG Robi, OMG Robi, OMG...

This is the video of one of my favorite songs from him, this one is in spanish.



This next one is in english. Yea, he sings, composes and rocks in both languages! That's kinda what happens when you're Puerto Rican. Jajaja




If you liked that one, I reaaally recommend watching this one. This album of his[Mad Love] is really romantic, and it has songs that are full of meaning and they really make you think. OMG I love him.

Here, I made a little playlist of my favorite Robi songs [in no particular order]. Enjoy.

Amantes Hasta el Fin
Cruzando Puertas

There you have it, I hope you're all dazzled by now. Love you guys!! XOXO
