So after a few weeks of lazying around after a hectic Fall semester I finally got out into the world for things other than food and family related holidays. I know it sounds sad but after 3 months of being dedicated to school the laziness is well deserved.  I even put in effort to dress like I wanted to be scene .

Allison and I headed out to Huntington Beach to browse shops and do some reading in the sand. It was lovely and I thought it would even be a cool place to take some photos. And because of my tiny compact camera i decided it look weird posing around those bustling by. BUT! and there is always a but... we ended up finding a cut little alley like area in between some restaurants. Perhaps I am not ready to begin posing in public again just yet. Mind You I still have 4 more weeks left on this break so I should experience the outside world and great outfits.

 I thought it was cool to see Natalie Suarez's ad for Volcom. I literally squealed "I follow her blog!" Lol I'm a dork I know.


P.S. I have decided in 2012 my signature for commenting on other blogs shall be 'Violet' instead of the old 'Vi from Cali'

So lately time has been flying buy. I barely have time to look up from all the school work and worrying about my year will look like next year to spend time with friends and family. Luckily with school going so rapidly family understands my lack of appearance back and home and the Boyfriend and I promised to spend at least one day a week together no matter what. Hopefully I get all my assignments turned in an submit some articles to the school paper before the end of the month (a little something to cushion my portfolio).


Yesterday while running errands with my roommate I noticed that it was the last day the Borders' in here where i live would be open. Everything was $1 so we decided to take a peak in a see what we could grab. We had seen some thing earlier that week but we were holding out for a sale like this. Well when we went inside there was nothing but wedding planners and inspirational books by CEO left (oh and a book written by 'The Situation'). Luckily I was able to find the Kelly Cutrone book I had my eye on and the Rhianna photography book I saw online but never picked up. So I took them to the counter and walked away feeling like a thief.

Total: $2.19

I will also leave you with some food porn. I stayed with my Step-mom during spring break which was the week of her birthday. We celebrated at Benihana the night of. It was delicious and I am now salivating as I post these photos
