Seattle, we finally meet!

Today is the third day of my Seattle vacation. It reminds me of San Francisco minus the gloomy weather. It drizzles with light rain but doesn't rain nonstop like I imagined. The city is so vast with green lush vegetation. It's truly tree heaven here. I see houses planted on hills and mountains. There are people everywhere. There's a clear diversity from Chinatown to downtown. Considering that I'm from a small town, I can't help but feel so small in this city. Everything is moving, people are on the go, shops and places are bustlin'. 

I arrived Seattle at 10pm pt (1am et). I was sleepy and hungry. After we got our rental we went to the best rated Japanese restaurant that was opened at the time. Cod fish was amazing, sushi was nothing spectacular. 

Next day I visited Chinatown. I went there for a quick dim sum lunch. I was craving congee. It's not as busy as SF's Chinatown however it's a lot cleaner. Not much to look at so I went to Pike Place Market. 

It's a farmers market plus a flea market, you see art booths to fruit booths. You can eat fresh seafood too. The first Starbucks is also located there. Which was pretty cool! Another amazing thing is that they have booths that sell fresh flowers created in beautiful arrangements! All under $20! I wished we had something like that back home! My room would be filled with fresh flowers everyday!!! I made the mistake of waiting to buy one because I wanted to walk down to the shopping center about 4 blocks away. When I got back, everything was closed. I thought it was gonna be open all day! it's okay though because I know I'll visit again before I leave. 

I still have the space needle and sky city restaurant to explore. I might do down to the Ferris wheel harbor too. So far, my trip has nothing but amazing!!!

my caution, not the cold

got this amazing top as a birthday gift from one of my best friends! Black and white together, is hard to wear during the summertime so it's nice when you can find something light and flowy. I just love the versatility in clothes, you can mix and match a variety of different styles. I was going to wait until Fall to bring out the clutch but I couldn't resist the rich color any longer. I just had to make it part of my next blogpost. I usually don't wear silver. Most of my accessories are in gold. Despite that, I love my silver kitten heels from target. If my memory serves me well, I think I bought it for only $8! It was during the clearance sale.. Mmm.. A year ago? ^_^ anyway, hope you like today's post!

Home Sweet Home

Hiiii :) I'm back!

I miss doing ootds. Gotta get up and try again. :) I can't wear color without wearing black. I just don't know how to let it go. I'll learn one day, just not today! I paired this floral romper with a lightweight blazer-like outerwear. I added a gold necklace with a simple skinny watch, which btw doesn't work anymore. I chose to complete the look with my pale beige block heels from Aldo. 

This marks my first ootd in Jacksonville since I moved back. Guess who took these awesome shots for me? None other than the person who loves me unconditionally. My mum. She had more fun than I did, I think! Enjoy!
