Little Tokyo - Downtown LA Adventure

Image
I've randomnly been getting into yelping. Maybe it is because I've been sitting around for months waiting for my visa to Spain... or because I've come to a certain realization that since I spend so much time on Yelp stalking restaurants and trying to find food and places to become obsessed with... why not add my own opinion to it all? On Wednesday, I took the subway and ventured out to Little Tokyo. There were 4 main stops: 1. Mikawaya - For the ice cream mochis and mochilatos. 2. Mitsuru Cafe  - For the Imagawayakis. 3. Daikokuya - For their Ramen. 4. Fugetsu-Do - For their strawberry-peanut butter filled mochis. Mikawaya - ($1-1.25 ea) Still delicious as always... I like how they taste so fresh and aren't too sweet. So far I have tried pistachio, almond and creme brulee. They are all delicious and such a special treat to have whenever you are in Little Tokyo. Mitsuri Cafe - ($1.25 ea) I was so excited to try the Imagawayakis since they got great review

I am loving this look..

I was recently on Lucky Magazine website and I was checking out the look of the day. And I fell in love with this look: It is definitely a look you can take from day to night!

Spring Cleaning

I have officially moved back to Los Angeles while I wait for my working visa. This also means I do not have as much closet room as I used to and has prompted me to clean out my closet. As a result, I decided to sell a good chunk of my clothes to create more room in the place I am currently living in and have also decided it would also be a great way to earn some money while I am waiting for that visa. Getting letters about the loans I will be having to pay back in approximately 3 months has made my very weary about spending money and has got me thinking about how to make some. So please check out the Moving Away Sale  link on the side below the picture of me. I will try posting pictures of what these clothes look like on an actual person on this main page.

Interior Decorating Goodness.

I was on the materialgirlsblog.com site and I love how this space was decorated. It is simple and even though black and white are the main colors it does not look boring at all.

H&M Sustainable Clothes

I am in love with these two pieces from H&M's sustainable clothes collection. They are both priced at $34.95. 

Fall into the Gap.

Image
So this has to have been the craziest quarter ever, but in less than 5 days I will be graduating. So when I do graduate, I've decided that since I will be getting my Master's and you don't get a special title in front of your name... I demand that I be referred to as Master Young. How great would that be? I think I deserve it, especially for all that stress I've been through... of course I am just joking, but I can dream can't I? Anyways, I was recently on the GAP website. I  remember many years ago, everytime I would walk in the store I would love the outfits on the mannequins. Then a few years passed and I'd walk into their stores and I wouldn't like anything. BUT their designs have seemed to have greatly improved. Take a look: Seems like the perfect outfits for Fall!

DIY: Safety Pin Earrings.

Image
I was really inspired to make something out of safety pins after the Safety First post, so I decided to make earrings. I went all out and bought some gold color wire, hooks for the earrings, a bunch of safety pins and all the tools required. After figuring out how exactly I was going to connect everything for the first earring.. the 2nd pair took me no time at all. I wonder if I could legitimately add jewelry maker to my resume now. Haha, I only kid.
