Some Fall Outfits of the Day




LAYERS ARE UPON US!

I have been a little swamped lately to be able to take pictures of some of my fall outfits. I will make it a goal to take more and be consistent especially with Halloween around the corner and the start of November. I have already uploaded one look onto LOOKBOOK.nu and will upload more onto there, Instagram, and here. Since it's my first and beginner picture, I only thought it would be fitting to post a candid/amateurish picture as my very first and it is the first picture shown above. The third picture is a candid photo of my #ootd when adventuring to the Seattle Waterfront. Check out my previous post to find out more! More to come, more to come..

Cafe Chilling, Loving, & Relaxing





FALL & AUTUMN

One reason why I love Fall is because it's that perfect crisp weather of in between. You get to see green leaves change into beautiful vibrant and warm colors. Autumn means pumpkin, comfort, spices, warmth, and being with each other. I get to wear wonderful layers, scarves, beanies, sweaters, heavy knits, fashionable turtlenecks, and more without having to worry about getting frostbite or too much snow. I love tea and coffee because of the enjoyable complex tastes that are both warm and inviting. Fall only makes me enjoy the comfort of a warm drink even more. What better way to warm yourself up than a good cup of joe?

The first two pictures are of a cafe that I went to today in downtown Bellevue that has a kind of small, local, busy cafe atmosphere. The hazelnut chocolate cappuccino was perfect and the savory dill and cheddar scone accompanied greatly with the espresso. 

The last two pictures are of different angles and shots of a Kaffe Mocha that I ordered from one of my favorite coffee places. This place is a hidden jewel further up north from Seattle and features delicious Austrian and European espresso with a variety of unique and delightful drinks. I have tried various and different drinks from there and not one has disappointed me. I always make an effort to stop by whenever I'm visiting up north because it is worth the trip!

More cozy pictures coming your way!

Food Porn and Yummy Dining





More Pictures of Food- Mealtimes

These are pictures of what I have been eating in the past week. I love food, but only good food. I got to eat some delicious salmon sliders, yummy vegan spring rolls, homemade pappardelle pasta with prawns, and some good comfort sushi for a great price. Majority of the restaurants that I went to were in Seattle. Seattle Eats! 

I'll  be posting more grub pictures with sharper quality so the food will definitely look more enticing, if food pictures don't entice you already. A girl's gotta eat! Thanksgiving is coming soon and I'm expecting and anticipating to eat more great food. Hopefully, I won't be gaining too much holiday weight this coming season. For some reason the cold winter always make people want to eat more to keep their tummies warm. Good Eating times are a-coming!

Different settings and views yet all are meaningful to me




Couple of "Homey" Pictures

The first picture is of downtown Bellevue my home and city that I grew up in. It has a beautiful skyline and beautiful buildings. The second photo is of a beautiful sunset I witnessed while waiting to cross the U.S.-Canadian border. The last photo is of the Seattle Waterfront with the Ferris Wheel at the pier. 

Sunsets, Seattle, & Bellevue are all a part of me. Sunsets are always beautiful to behold and witness. I am always awed every time I get to catch a glimpse of a Pacific Northwest sunset. Sunsets are one of the little things that I love and appreciate the most. I am grateful that I get to see beautiful sunsets in the two cities that I hold dear to my heart and my homes. The Eastside and Bellevue is where I grew up yet Seattle is my playground. The best of both worlds!

All photos belong and are taken by me. 2014.

#SORELstylecontest pictures pt. 2




The contest is over!

I took more pictures for the contest and the last day to submit photos was yesterday. It has been fun and nice to take pictures, change outfits, dress up, and do photoshoots just for the contest. But now, the contest has inspired me to continue to post pictures of my #ootd and fashion! There will definitely be more fashion pics on this blog even though it's just a personal blog about adventuring and everything. I'm looking forward to the coming months and upcoming fun! I even created a LookBook account. Hopefully I'll get the guts and more editing and styling experience to upload great photos and awesome outfits of my personal style onto there in a bit. Will be doing more projects and exploring soon- 
Stay Tuned!

FALL: Time is flying and floating on by swiftly and faster than before






I can't wait for Halloween- costumes & candy everywhere! Yet, I'm equally as excited for November and Thanksgiving. Then afterwards winter and the countdown to Christmas (my favorite holiday) plus the New Year of 2015 begins! Looking forward to finishing off this year strong and hard; only to start off the new year of 2015 with a solid BANG. There's so much for me to look forward to, to be excited for, to anticipate, and I'm already feeling like I slowly am taking off, even if it's only a couple of inches, off the ground. New year= new goals for me to work towards and strive towards. I'm learning more and more, pursuing my hobbies/interests, and planning/dreaming bigger. I'm opening new doors & writing new chapters. My story is still ongoing and I'm not about to quit or give up yet. I've just gotten started.

Most Recent #ootd Pics




Will update soon, including updating my personal blog more instead of long stagnant periods or months of not blogging and absence. 
MORE TO COME.. 
And hopefully not in the most random of places with more professional shots & editing!
I'll keep you posted! (yes, the pun was intended) :P

Omitted photos for the #SORELstylecontest



Unfortunately, these were too small and too far away. Cropping them would have made it even more sad. :/ Oh well, still some of my favorites from the whole photoshoot I had that day.

Recent Photography/Camera Shots of Food & Other Things






Two of them I posted on my Instagram, and two I decided to save just for my own personal liking. Guess which two! The one of the vinyl record ceiling decoration was photoedited and photoshopped for a design course of Color in the Digital Age. The class teaches you the design aspect of how graphic designers handle creating color palettes and schemes for a project, and how those colors will be used, shared, and distributed in each design project and designs, or just among other designers. Plus, I thought the store decoration was very creative, innovative, and cool. This was strung over the Crosley section in an Urban Outfitters store advertising and selling vinyl records and the Crosley recordplayers. 

The food pictures are pretty self explanatory. Seared salmon nigiri in a minimalist setting and then the same light blue and white color scheme is found in the ice cream sundae. The first picture is of adorable succulents, decorated and potted well at my new favorite plant paradise on earth- a plant/terrarium store in the Ballard part of Seattle. 
Terrariums have become more popular and a trend as of late. I'm so happy that there are many plant storefronts popping up with more selection for succulents, cacti, and terrarium building tools/items. 

Yea Terrariumers! (that should be the name or term for people who love, create, & obsess over terrariums and terrarium-suited plants)


#SORELstylecontest

My first photo submission for the contest. I feel like the other two that followed were not the best and not my first preference or choice. I will put up soon of my most recent and different #ootds (outfit of the day) including the other two submissions for the contest. I will be taking more pictures next Monday and hopefully (maybe) this coming weekend for the contest. At the time, the likes for their promotion picture for the contest (top screenshot picture) were not that many. But checking the post today, the post has over 100 likes for sure. You can Google or Facebook the contest rules and prizes, but the deadline for photo submissions is Wednesday 10/15/14. Wish me luck and good luck to other fellow contestants out there! :) 

Also, please follow or take the time to check out my Instagram for recent and updated photos of my daily personal life and what I'm doing, eating, wearing, or where I'm currently wreaking havoc ( exploring :P).
