We're not in Kansas anymore!

The day before yesterday, the family headed out to a Thai dinner, which the idea of je n'ai pas aimé (I did not like) at first! But then they informed us it was a themed restaurant. It was pretty! My sister and I played on the slide thing, it was fun. But it's hard climbing things in heels, you know? The food was bon and karaoke blared from the room downstairs. We sat on the upper deck, where I played bait to mosquitos. The zapper was going off every second! And now I have 17 mosquito bites. SEVENTEEN! So all you foreigners, opt for the air conditioned room downstairs instead.

Jimmy Choo Pre Fall 2010

(VIA Jimmy Choo)

In honor of my trip to Malaysia tonight, I decided to do a piece on a fellow who hails from there, Mr. Jimmy Choo! Here is his Pre Fall '10 collection, and I chose his chunkier pieces; I'm not too fond of sharp-enough-to-stab-you stilettos. I especially like the glittery wedge second from the left. It can't stab you, but it sure can stomp you to death.

My posts will be shooting through cyber space from all the way in Malaysia soon, folks. Right after I get over the nasty 23 hour trip.

Sausalito

Yesterday, my mama took us for a surprise trip to Sausalito, the prettiest little town outside San Francisco! It was pretty hot yesterday, so we popped into a quaint ice cream shop, that was extremely popular. Kona Almond ice cream is yuuuum. We proceeded to to explore the little town, but mama wanted to see the sea, comme beaucoup des personnes âgées (like most old people; my mom isn't actually old. She's "35") Instead, sis and I people-watched. Like animal watching, but with people! We passed a lovely candy shop selling salt water taffies, and took a short break at a Starbucks, taking the picture you see of pops and mama. I got PASSION TEA! Which tastes like passion fruit. We also passed a cute shop, similar to a Fred Flare shop, if we had one here on the west coast. The day ended with a trip to the Falafel Drive In on West San Carlos (AN AWESOME STREET!), which was featured on numerous television shows. Yum.

Union Square

So after sixteen long years here in the valley, Mama finally took us two to Union Square up in San Francisco (I remembered how to spell this from Cisco Systems; such a nerd!) and it was beautiful! It was crowded with people of course, from the slicked back hair of the Europeans to the cigarette-in-hand, skinny jeans hipsters. There was even a glam old grandmama, her hair in a scarf wrap, and un manteau (a coat)!

1) Here is the three-storied Forever 21 - there isn't much to see here. It's like they took the innards of our regular stores and exploded it over a radius of three floors. More stairs to climb~
2)Here's my twin Phyllis clutching her hat and looking around. I don't know where this is actually. But regarde ca cable car! They're famous for them.
3)She's clutching her hat again. Note, San Francisco wind is very typical.
4) I had to snap up this photo while scurrying across the street; but all the sloping hills are so pretty.
5)More street...
6) THE MOST WONDERFUL H&M EVER! This H&M is two floors tall, and the clothes are crammed into it like organized sardines in a neat can. What was most surprising that things hit the sales rack faster than they do back in San Jose, and they get new shipments everyday. The service is super nice too!

Me: "Thank you!"
Salesperson: "No no, thank you."

Back!

Alrighty, I'm back from California's Great America, and I am tired. Pictures later!
