I love Las Vegas. Sure the nightlife is wonderful but I like it for the big skies, the light, and of course my mothers closet. I found this gem of a dress literally in the darkest corner of her closet. This dress has magic powers. I also raided her jewelry box.
I am in love with this necklace! Wouldn't you love to own it? You can! It's for sale on my Etsy

10 Honest things about myself:

1. I am ethnically mixed. And I change up my ethnicity every time someone asks. Today I was Costa Rican.

2. I have severe shoppers remorse. I will buy something and then stash in my closet for a week. However, I didn't have that problem with my Prada's. (nor with my Flowerbomb, YSL polish, or...)

3. I LOVE my curly hair. It sometimes bothers me when people ask if I straighten it.

4. I like Heidi Montag. No explanation offered.

5. Every time I head into San Francisco, I feel like I have to get dressed up. Dunno why.

6. I love to travel! Esp. alone. I love the independence, and the thrill of meeting people along the way. I once hung out with a Rugby team in the south of France. Unforgettable.

7. I'm not sure if I want to be married.

8. Every Saturday I go to Petco, and play with all the kitties. I think it makes my guinea pig a little jealous. His name is Sir Francis Lots O' Puff. The boyfriend calls him Scarface.

9. I love to jog.

10. Dream job? Buyer/Fashion PR/Curator of sorts/ and living a bi-coastal/bi-country lifestyle.
