Touring the City :: coral romper!

 

Saturday was a girls' day for me since my bf was working. My cousin and I decided to tour the city and explore. We love being tourists in our own hometown --you find out more about your own city that way!

Monday....funday? Maxi at the beach.

It was definitely a gorgeous day on monday, even when the clouds rolled in a little around 7pm.  The skies kept on parting for the sun as if to signal that it was summer and the sun was just going to shine no matter what.

We decided to go to the new Cactus club at English Bay for some appies and wine.  It was good times, we walked all the way down to the beach and then walked it off back to the car after!

I recommend going to this new Cactus Club --super gorgeous and the fact that it's right by the beach doesn't hurt either!

Pre-summer lovefest with George

Just before summer, my cuz and I went to George for a pre-summer girls night.  We needed to de-stress and catch up, and what better place than our fave lounge, George!

It was me, my cuz and George...perfect threesome! love.

A summery top, lose curls and a flower on the side....It may as well have been summer lol.

My adventurous side...a little hot pink!

beats:: pretty girl rock - keri hilson (i'm obsessed!)

OOTD:: Guess Black studded racerback, Urban Behavior Green Skinny Cargos & over-the-knee boots

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my boots...sooo love!

Tonight my cuz and I went out for our usual happy hour, but instead of the usual wine, we had specialty coffees and shared an appy of chicken strips at The Keg Thurlow.  I love The Keg--seriously the food is just uber delish! You will not regret what you order because all their food is to die for!

Before going out, I had abit of time to spend on my make-up and I decided to be adventurous and use my hot pink eyeshadow once again.  I loved the last few times I used my eyeshadow but wanted to try it out at home before using it again, but I couldn't resist.  Being that it's a new year, I felt abit more confident to try once again!



I must admit,, I am quite happy with the results.  It's not perfect, but I love the outcome!

Happy hour for us is not to drink our asses off, it's being able to unwind, enjoy each other's company and to socialize. 

Specialty coffees, she ordered bailey's express and I ordered B-52.  They warm us up and are super yummy! We also ordered chicken strips--which did nothing for my resoultion, but hey it's happy hour! lol.

I am soo obsessed with their curry mayo dip for the chicken strips.  It is the yummiest dip i've had ever!!! There is no other place that will compare.  We had an awesome time chatting up a storm, and after finishing up, we went to the bathroom before leaving the restaurant, and besides using the facilities, were able to do a quickie photo-op! lol.

As always, it was a good night...except for the momentary scare of having an SUV undercover cop cut us off and us thinking it was trying to stop us lol.

Happy Hour moments with my fave doll!

I am at home on a wednesday night, about to make my fave dessert, 'Leche Flan' for the annual NYE dinner we have at our house.  It's a delicious filipino custard-like dessert that I sooo love! It's very sweet so you better have a sweet tooth when you try it!

Anyways, before I made the dessert, i thought while waiting for a free space in the kitchen (my dad is also in the kitchen doing some prep work for the dinner!) I would post some of my fave happy hour pics!

I love the change in length in my hair lol...

I absolutely love my happy hour moments with my fave doll! We have such a good time just chattin' it up while having our fave bottle of wine! It unwinds us and releases any tensions or stresses we may have accumulated during the work week!

Girls' Night out!

I haven't had time to post these pics up....Usually our happy hour girls' night outs are thursdays, but this time we had it on a friday.  Perfect night since it didn't rain, although it was a little chilly outside.

The night started out at The Keg Thurlow for dinner...

After dinner we ventured over to our fave spot, George for some drinks...

I just love the ambiance of the lounge...

An uneventful but fun girls' night out...It's always fun to catch up and have some girls time =)

I wore my Black Marciano Bandage dress, Black&white tweed cropped blazer and Zara Cape.
