Barney's Warehouse Sale

My recent trip to the Barney's Warehouse Sale here in San Francisco. It was a very hit or miss kind of bargain shopping. I did find two pairs of shoes I really wanted to take home with me that day. But I instead opted out, since my wallet wouldn't be sooo happy and it wasn't much of a "Sale." I still got a cute DVF bathing suit + J Brand jeans. Which I got to wear out in LA this past weekend. =) 

I spontaneously bought an airplane ticket last minute to LA and "MADE IT HAPPEN!" The occasion was I went to go see Real Madrid vs. LA Galaxy international friendly game at the Rosebowl in Pasadena (Pictures to follow). It is a rare ocassion that International Futbol (not SOCCER) players come to the states, and I got to see the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xavi Alonso, Higuain, and Landon Donovan all on the same field. Fresh off their World Cup 2010 gig. As you can see I am big on Futbol and hot men like them. Hehe. Plus I got to lounge by the pool all weekend with my LA gals who I dearly missed a lot. I hadn't seen them since March I want to say. I realized I need to take more trips like these. Last minute affairs always make for some of the best memories and I always have a place to stay. I even surprised my bff Cecy, when I text her I'm in SoCal bitch! LOL. I always leave a little piece of me behind every time I visit LA LA Land =)

Excited to see what's in store

Unfortunately, they lacked in the handbag department

A. Wang Jacket. Preferred the shorter-version of this

Shoe section was a must

In love with these Lilac Louboutins

Sooo Hot and Comfy too! Dreaming til I get my first pair of Louboutins!

Co-Op Over the Knee Leather Boots

Felt sooo Edgy and Motorcycle-Chic wearing these!

Back View...It's rare I find shoes in my size!

Alaia Studded Booties. Too bad they weren't the right size =(

Gasp! These Fendi Heels (from my previous post) were just adorable, but none in my size! I still had to try them on!

At the checkout counter the guy checking bags joked, "My number is at the bottom of the receipt." LOL. Yeah sorry not interested buddy! Still made me laugh though. Hahaha

My purchases: (DVF Leopard Bikini + Henry Duarte for JBrand Jeans) Also pictured are some other recent purchases: (Topshop Wisteria Wedges + Miss Sixty "Harper" Boots) 

****UPDATE Now I wish I would've bought the Co-Op Over the Knee boots =(

Check them out here

Wisteria

My new Topshop Wisteria wedges. I got lucky to snag a pair of these off Ebay for the same price as the store. These sold-out real fast from Topshops online shop. They came straight from the UK too. These wedges are real comfy and I love the tie-up chiffon material. I've seen a lot of designers using chiffon or silk instead of the usual leather straps for shoes just like these Fendi ones. I think Jada Pinkett was spotted wearing those on the Red Carpet not too long ago.  So cute! They're perfect for the summer and go with just about everything.

Welcome to Sauna City

I got Vegas Fever. Well I still do a little after my recent stint there. My partner-in-crime and myself visit Vegas for a second time this year to celebrate our London Town boys Bachelor Party. Who we also met in Vegas last Halloween. Cheers to making new friends from across the pond!

Amar (the bachelor) and a group of 8 guys + Me + Susy = a very Vegas-Appropriate party filled weekend. Exactly what you would imagine a Bachelor party would be, minus the Strippers. =)

Our home for the weekend was the Wynn Tower Suites, with it's own Private Valet Area and Private Pool. We were instantly upgraded upon checking in at Encore (the sister hotel), since the room we had originally booked was full due to Garth Brooks in concert that weekend. Thank You Cowboys and Cowgirls! When they say its a world-class 5-star resort, they really live up to that title. I felt VIP all weekend, with table service at every club we partied at every night, our own private pool (where I literally brushed shoulders with England star-player Wayne Rooney) Check out the link for the article on his and wife Coleen's Vegas retreat where yours truly is featured. And of course the beautiful suites and great service all around. I found a Youtube video tour of one of the Wynn Suites our London town boys stayed at. Pure Greatness. After staying at the Wynn I don't want to stay anywhere else!!!

I got to say this is one of the cheapest Vegas trips I have ever taken and each visit there gets better. It pays to be a girl in Vegas that's for sure. You truly get treated exactly like a girl should and the fellaz being complete gentleman also helped.

Like any other trip, I planned out my outfits to be very Vegas-appropriate. One of my biggest finds was this Silver-Sequin studded dress which I had been on the hunt for ever since David Guetta's "Sexy Bitch" Music Video came out. I had dreamt I am one of the girls dancing in the roof of the pool party house in my one-piece. And then changing into a Silver slinky dress like the one the main girl in the video is wearing. That would be me dancing up a storm in Ibiza, pronounced Ibi-tha by locals at the "Fuck Me I'm Famous" Pacha Club in the Iberian Island. Yes that is one of my dreams to visit Ibiza and party my heart and feet out! I got to thank my bff Cecy for helping me find an affordable-version out there. You're the best!

All ready for Packing...
