Comments:
Sometimes I get in this very girly mood and decide to paint my fingernails. Usually I go for common colors like pink, red, or just natural. But today I felt sorda bold slash rocker and decided to paint my fingernails blue!

I remember when I was a teenager (and I went through this very slight all-I-wear-is-black stage), I would paint my fingernails all sorts of colors like black, blue, purple, and even green! I don't know if I'll ever be bold enough to paint my nails green again, but I'm liking blue again so who knows?

Do you paint your fingernails in uncommon colors? What are your favorite colors?

My Choice of Outfit of the week - Pattern mixing master

This week's outfit of the week goes to Kyla from Blue Collar Catwalk! This isn't the first time I choose Kyla as the best outfit of the week (no surprise there, she has an incredible sense of style). I have always admired Kyla's pattern mixing skills! The first time I featured her was for mixing checkers with a floral print... and now I am featuring her once more for pattern mixing! She just makes it look so effortless and chic... good job Kyla!

Comments:
As I was deciding what to wear today, I realized that I have several nice collar shirt that I almost never wear. This striped Ralph Lauren collar shirt, for example, has only been worn once and I got it last year!

Somehow I forget that these items exist in my closet so they never get worn. But I am going to put a bigger effort in wearing them from now on! I always feel so sophisticated and work-chic in a collar shirt.

DIY: Origami Duck

For my boyfriend's birthday, I decided to make a cute birthday ducky made out of paper!! I saw this craft online a couple of weeks ago on this site, and I have been waiting for an opportunity to make it.

To make this adorable ducky, all you need to do is print two origami pages from this site. The site is in Japanese (I think, it might be a different language), so I don't understand anything that it says. But basically you print, cut, and glue things together. I sorda improvised and managed to make a decent job.

I can't believe this ducky is made out of paper... so cute!

Let me know if any of you try this cute craft out! I plan on making the other origami models from this site on some other occasion :)

Comments:
Today we celebrated my boyfriend Alejandro's 23rd birthday! I threw him a small surprise party at my home (just him and my family) with cupcakes, balloons, presents, and other goodies. He was so surprised and happy!

Instead of a cake, I made him some delicious vanilla cupcakes with chocolate Nutella in the center (um... YUM!). They were super yummy (In fact, we already ran out... haha).

I also made sure to decorate everything with monkeys! (For all you new readers, my boyfriend and I call each other monkeys). I even made paper hats for all my monkey dolls (yeah, I'm childish like that) and I got him some monkey pajamas... haha. We had a blast!

I want you all to meet a new member of our family: Little Tigger! Tigger is an adorable little kitty that we found crying of hunger in the storage area of our company. My brother and I felt so sorry for the little kitty that we decided to adopt it.

After cleaning him up and giving him all the appropriate injections, Tigger is a happy kitty living in our home. He is full of energy and likes playing with all sorts of items around the house. We are all having such a wonderful time playing with him. Plus, we all feel so good that we could give this nice kitty a family and a home.

Have you ever adopted an animal from the streets?

Comments:
Although I have tights in almost every color (blue, purple, yellow, you name it); I always gravitate towards these burgundy tights I bought at Forever 21. I don't know what it is about the burgundy color that I feel it goes with everything!

Not only do I always tend to wear these tights, I also always tend to pair it with the same burgundy floral pumps... hehe. I guess some things are meant to be worn together.

Here are all the ways in which I've worn these burgundy tights paired with the burgundy floral pumps:
