One of my favorite places to hang out in LA is Larchmont. It’s filled with cutesy little stores and good eats. Although the village consists of only a few blocks, I always end up discovering something new. This time wasn’t an exception and we treated ourselves to wonderful Caribbean cuisine at Prado where we were pleasantly surprised not only with the food, but a 10% discount offer to celebrate their 20th year. We ordered Carioca Chicken and Seafood Paella which was their special of the day. I lo-ved the sauce on the chicken. It had chunks of tropical fruits which made the chicken not only burst with flavor but very soft. I’m not a huge chicken fan but this one was a definite winner. btw, service couldn’t be better- the waiter was just impeccable. and you know, it’s all about good customer service. This place gets a 10 just for that.

Carioca Chicken

Seafood Paella:
Actually liked this dish a bit more than the chicken probably because I’m an avid seafood lover. lol. It was very moist, extremely flavorful, and the seafood pieces (shrimp, lobster, scallops, fish) were HUGE. Not as good as the one I had in Spain (with a whole lobster) but I’d go back just for this. uh.. I. want. NOW! :T

The night ended with a Tiramisu Cupcake from Crumbs, a Red Velvet Cake & Grapefruit Green Tea from Bricks and Scones, and Starbucks. Lovely. <333

On another note, finally feeling better. Hallelujah! :)

While in the area to pick up some delicious cream puffs, stopped by Chronic Tacos to see what the hype was about; however to my dismay their fish taco turned out just “ok”- I’d say average, maybe even less- a moment in which King Taco was once again proven invincible. :D *** (drools)

To get, or not to get: that is the question.

bah~ FAIL.

Yay for animal prints- as long as no animals were harmed, I’m all for prints! Anna Molinari takes full advantage of its spunkiness yet so gracefully! Oh, and those boots- instantly added to the shopping list, of course! :D also diggin’ those metallic leggings- Hot!

(daydreaming… :) )

If the patent platform Christian Louboutins were turned into outfits, the collection would look like this:

Btw, just when I thought the thigh highs were old news, the Caten brothers prove otherwise.

Sometimes I wish I were a blonde.

When I was in college, there was a time when I wanted to bleach my hair really bad. It wasn’t because I wanted to be someone else or felt ugly with dark hair but simply because I wanted to experiment. but it never happened- because I was scared.

I wish I didn’t care so much about what others think of me. I wish I could live my life without letting anyone get in the way. I wish I had a full control over my life. I wish I were never afraid… of being myself. I wish I was a risk taker. a dream chaser.

My makeup artist friend tells me that Shu Uemura makes the best eyebrow pencil and concealer.

reminds me of the 4B pencil used in drawing

like the simple packaging and the rich/thick texture- Coverage is quite amazing.

It’s all about packaging. lol. I love their toner bottles.

Hope everyone’s having a fantabulous weekend!
