cookies solve all of life's problems

oops

waiting

After telling myself that I wouldn't let my cabin fever get the best of me this weekend, I ventured out for the first time in two weeks to hang out with Pika and Mike. Needless to say, I was exhausted, cranky, and in pain less than an hour in, but it was still a vast improvement from festering all weekend in my bedroom. I'm surprised Pika was actually willing to curb his fast pace and walk slowly beside me (although not without the occasional jest about my gimp walk). Thankfully I'm now back in my cozy apartment and do not plan on leaving until I absolutely must for class on Monday. At least I retained my sanity.

Muni was a pain in the ass and for some reason it took us three buses to get to Haight Street. Somehow we ended up in the Castro after a bus stopped running halfway through and stumbled into Hot Cookie for some, well, cookies obviously. The three of us were quite satisfied with our choices (the white chocolate macadamia cookie was mine if anyone was wondering) and a lot less grumpy thanks to the sugar in our systems.

I'm back in the States, after a very long holiday overseas! I'm a bit jet lagged but still in high spirits, especially when greeted with a few packages in the mail. One which contained pieces from the amazing brand, StyleSofia! I love this Rolling Stones tee with the pearl studded tongue paired with the Gem BodyCon skirt! Very glam rock n roll that is so wearable. I was testing out my Canon digital SLR camera inside the house and took a few fun snapshots. Thanks again to StyleSofia for the pieces and the feature! Do visit their online store, I'm sure you'll find something you will love!

So back to the real world: I'm hooommee. I love coming back to my own house, but am still missing all the fun in Asia: the unlimited Tea Tarik, white sandy beaches, and great exotic food. I'm already thinking of my next holiday.... traveling is so addicting. I cannot stay in one place too long.
But for the moment, looking through all the latest runway images! Sooo many great collections! more posts to come :)

I owe it to my college to say bye bye to the beloved building that's being brutally torn down for a stupid railway thing. One of our campuses is moving, thank god the main building stays and I guess the new location won't be too bad.. 

I had some fun with my lovely friend Tasha who got a bit carried away while shooting the pictures...haha. Anyway it was quite funny playing photoshoot on our lunch break, if there is anywhere you can get away with that, it's at LCF.

oh and the illustrations are by CSM graduate Mark Ballard.. Cool right?

This is what I loved at the London shows! It's been a really funny week, with nice parties and cool people. I might have to put up a party post later... Anyway here is what I wish I would be wearing next autumn. Okey maybe minus the horns.. or who knows.

making chicken enchiladas with chile verde

making enchiladas from Annabel Ly on Vimeo.

Put together a bunch of random clips to make this video of BF making enchiladas for us. The song is “sweet time replay (feat. dahlia)” by capsule. Thanks for all of the encouraging comments, I'm trying my best to deal and get over this as soon as possible! It's kind of strange to get used to "taking it easy" and I can't wait until things are normal again but it's interesting to take a step back and take a look at what I was doing wrong by stressing myself out so much. It's unnatural for everything to go exactly as planned and I really need to learn how to stop beating myself up for it. I'm trying, I'm trying.

Cool thing about London no. 346, turn around and you'll find a great opportunity for a photo. This looks like something taken in downtown san francisco... (?) Well I would not know, but it was a well deserved cinnamon latte.

Chance of rain



h&m yellow coat

asos beanie
zara boots
lindex bag
 
When I came to London a little over a year ago I decided on the first day that I am not going to let the rain bother me, or I would be complaining all the time... so even if it's pouring every other day, I don't really notice that any more.

out of commission

bouquet

I don't know how else to put this but at the moment I'm recovering from a minor surgical procedure and it'll be very difficult to blog regularly for a while. It's nothing too serious, just really unbelievably painful and I won't be fully recovered for another month. I also can't keep up with my difficult 8am to 5:30pm schedule in this condition, so I have to drop two of my classes and take them next semester instead. So yup, I can't graduate this Spring like I'd intended to and I have to live with this for the next few weeks. I'm confused, worried, and disappointed but I just have to remember that it could be much worse. Thankfully I have my amazing boyfriend who has been taking care of me on his days off and has made the pain a lot more bearable even when the vicodin doesn't seem like enough. Even with all of these sudden changes to my life, I'm trying my best to keep my head up and not end up depressed but it's going to be difficult. Thanks for hanging in there, guys.
