hi loviesssss! so halloween is tomorrow and we need to all get pumped. today at work we had our annual halloween potluck and costume parade/contest....and guess who won first place for an awesome $350 prize?!?!?!? meeeeeeeee!!!! yes me! OMG i couldn't believe it! this year we were being judged on being original and creative so i put on my thinking hat and decided to ditch my typical disney princess and go for a midget cowboy! lol. as you can see it was well worth it. but not to worry peeps, tonight i will be a genie! i wanted to be princess jazmin from aladdin but ended up buying the material and making it last minute so i got purple material instead. i will be posting those pictures tomorrow for you to check out!

at work everyone got creative. there were soooo sooo many cool costumes that i honestly thought i didn't stand a chance. my fweeennndddd bekah was khloe kardashian (ms. odom!) i thought she did an amazing job. unfortunately she didn't win but i think she should've. in second place came my other co-worker and name twin nancy! she was a dancer or something like that as you can see above. in third came dora and valerie as jason and some other murderer from the movie "it". all in all everyone did a great job and we had so much fun...in the end "cowboy bill" came in victorious and he cannot wait to go shopping this weekend!!!

what are you guys all doing for halloween?

where the wild things are.

the weather in L.A. has been as crazy as the people who live in it! we had two day of rain and gloom (which i was super psyched about!), and then right back to super unbearable heat...and by heat I mean 100 degree heat! yikes!

but enough with the whinning. despite the crazy heat, jv ♥ and i managed to have ourselves a GREAT weekend! friday we went on a movie date. he took me to the americana to watch "where the wild things are", and i must say it was a great movie - took me back to first grade when "where the wild things are" and "there's a monster under my bed" were my favorite books to read and re-read. *sigh* the movie made me feel like a kid again and even got me teary eyed a couple times...

saturday, jv, my little brother, jv's momma, and i hit downtown fabric district! this year we decided we would get creative and make our own costumes! we found our fabric, embellishments, accessories, and all...i won't give away our costumes though, you will have to stay tuned to find out! hehe! we later picked up our god daughter and took her to disneyland for the halloween festivities! we had soooo much fun!

sunday, jv and i did breakfast with my momma. it was delishhh! we then headed to downtown art district for a walk and jv again started snappin' away for a project we have in the works. hence the outfits above!

make-up.

happy tuesday peeps! i hope you guys all had an awesome weekend. my weekend was pretty mellow. i met up with my bff Anabelle for dinner on friday and finally caught up on sooo much. i miss her sooo much and she is now living in santa barbara so i will not be seeing her as much. bummer. we did promise we would make time to visit eachother! =)

saturday night the bf and i went for dinner and a movie (and shoe shopping) in pasadena . i found the cutest booties with sexy studding and some adorable jessica simpson pumps! i will show you in a post tomorrow hopefully. anyway, we kept it simple and did applebee's and then headed to see paranormal activity, which i must say wasn't a good idea. the movie is SUPER scary and i couldn't even sleep afterward...ugh. i am such a weenie when it comes to scary movies, but if any of you had a chance to peep it you will understand...scary!

sunday the bf was swamped with homework so i headed out for some shopping with my momma! mellow day.

anyway, we are almost mid-week! we are going through a weather transition and that is always hard here in L.A. let's just say switching gears from sunny days to rain downpours is not necessarily the easiest thing to do here in L.A. traffic is terrible and i hate it. on a brighter note, my boss surprised me with a few gifts yesterday. a pouch full of maybeline's fall 2009 make-up. lipsticks, lip gloss, and lip and eye liners!!! the little harajuku perfume is not only a great scent but the little bottle is adorable! i love it! so thanks to the boss. ha!
