Old Sac/Getup Threads (Baby edition)

I'm finally back from my trip to Sacramento, or as they so graciously call it 'New Sac.' I couldn't have had a better time you paid me to be there. It's always been hard for me to split my time between my maternal and paternal families (especially since everyone is spread from Vancouver to London) but I'm so glad that I had the chance to visit my big brother (paternal) in SacTown!

I spent the majority of the time bugging my adorable nephew and bonding with my AMAZING sister in law. We've known each other for 8 years but only see each other at weddings or family reunions so we've never had a real opportunity to bond. We had a 15 min discussion on Team Edward vs. Team Jacob which in turn lead us to sneaking out of the house so we could go and see Eclipse. We decided if we were the same age, we would have been the perfect roommates. 

Look at his Cheeks.

After he took a three hour nap on me I thought he'd be ready to play, no he wanted to sleep more.

His clothes are on backwards, new parents-what to do!

The earrings are clip on vintage Chanel, I have my ears pieced but pulling them off at the end of the day like Grace Kelly makes me feel so glamourous. 

Shirts I made him, the one on the right is an inside joke with my little sister.

I miss him already!

I wore a couple of cute outfits but didn't take any full outfit post pictures, sorry! But here are some super cute baby outfits I bought/made...:D

Until tomorrow...

Getup Threads

I'm at work and in a super fantastical supurbulous mood today! Prob b/c I talked to one of my bffs last night and he made me realize how truly blessed I am right now. I've been kind of moppy and miserable in LA since I've arrived but never downright sad. Having a constant gloom over your day to day life can be tiring on your mental health so it was a refreshing change!


Anyways, I've had an interesting day at work today because my boss bought a new puppy (he's 90 lbs but i still think he's a puppy) and he's entertaining as crap. He sits, rolls over, plays dead, and high fives. Their first dog dislikes the puppy so he's been sitting in my lap all day...

This is Joey, the jealous baby of the family

Here's a hair post too, I feel so Dorothy Dandrige today, and I'm sticking with it.

Coming up Soon:


Yff Bloggers conference
Getup Threads
Red Carpet outfit
Sacremento trip
LOVE FOR ALL


Until 2morrow...

Globetrottin'

Since I'm already in California, it only makes sense to go and visit some family on the side of the 50 nifty states! I'm flying to Sacremento in order to visit my cousin, his wife, and their new baby! 


I've been begging all of my married cousins to have a child for 9 years now. Let me claify and say that I only needed one of them to have a child. After that one child was born, I said I was done and don't need anymore. But lucky me my oldest cousins on both my mom and dad's side had a kid this year! I got a girl who I'm obsessed with and spend every waking moment possible with, and a boy who I'm going to visit tomorrow! 

Attention cousins: please note that you do not need to have children in order to maintain our friendship anymore. My empty threats shall cease now that I have not one, but TWO little bundles to spend my money on. Thank you to those two for their cooperation.


That is all.


p.s. First trip to Sacremento!


Until tomorrow...

EDC

Amazing. No wait, I'm completely underselling it-let me try again.... 


It was the most ELECTRIFYINGLY EUPHORIC experience I've had in 20 years, and I want to do it again. 


Despite the fact that we came across some difficulty finding each other when we arrived (due to shitty cell phone service) we ended up drinking and partying hard enough to make up for the lost time. The coliseum was filled with +130,000 people all raving to the likes of Moby, Will.i.am, Steve Aoki and Deadmau5. There were 5 stages, carnival rides, neon lights, cabanas, men on stilts, people in crazy costumes, I could go on and on!


We ended up leaving early but we both decided that next time if we go,  we're going to do it the right way now that we know how. 


Ughhh I want to go back.

Getup Threads

I've always been a hippie at heart, but being in So Cal is nothing less than inspiring. Everyone here has such an effortlessly chic and organic, I love it. Here was my attempt to be as beautiful and simple as everyone around me. 


The jacket I have is so old it's almost vintage, I got it from Forever 21 years ago and it's still one of my favorite pieces. It looks like this one from Buckle but mine is cropped and faded a little more. I felt so chic yet comfortable all day, and all the materials were surprisingly light so I wasn't burning up

Shirt: H&M

Jacket: Forever 21 (Buckle)

Jeans: Old Navy Rockstars

Shoes: Payless

Bag: Urban Outfitters

Under Construction

Although I am a Big, Brown, and Beautiful mamacita, I realized that it wasn't exactly what my blog was about. My blog is more about who I am as a person and the things that make me tick, laugh, cry, and inspired. BBB represents an obvious physical description and a large part of who I am...but there's so much more. 


I'm kind of digging Flawless Fluff right now...ideas? I love words so here's some other words I was throwing around during my revamping!

quirky

urban

fearless

funky

cracked

fabulous

radiant

surplus

I think it was between quirky surplus and flawless fluff. hmmm...


Give me a few days and I'm going to get the site to look as perfect as I am. 


Until tomorrow...

Electric Daisy Carnival

One of the advantages of being in California is the music and festivals that take place all over the state! Lucky for me most of them are held during the summer and this weekend is the 

ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL!!!!

It's a giant techno fest with carnival rides, a concert and carnival in one. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! 

                            

                            

   

  

Anyways I don't know what to wear so I'm taking a impromptu (yea right) shopping trip today! Someone told me I should wear my Bright Outfit which is actually great inspiration. I was thinking headscarf, pink keds, and some neon duds. 

Any suggestions?
