Skinny Bitch

Okay so while at the Dripped fashion soirée an trunk show, I ran into some fabulous ladies with a creative name for their line: Skinny Bitch Clothing.
These threads were super cute and modern. They had from contemporary shirts and skirts, to shoes and flats, and clothes with Bart Simpson knitted on it!
The pieces were truly one of a kind with a style all it's own.
The garments have a very straight forward and modern approach, using clean and simple designs along with straight lines.
Here is a flick I got of the designers:

Tacos de papa

When I was little I said there was two things I could live off of:
Potatoes and iced tea


So today I will advise you on the yummiest thing ever. Potato tacos!
All you need is:
-1 or 2 potatoes (depending on how many are eating)
-garlic salt 
-pepper 
-1/2 of an onion diced (optional, good for flavor though)
-corn or flour tortillas 

Now, take the potato, peel it, and wrap in a paper towel. That's right, a paper towel- and microwave it for 2.5-3 mins
Careful it will be hot when you remove it from the microwave!!!

Now, depending on what kind of blender you have, throw the potato in the blender, and shake on the garlic salt and pepper. Also, add the onion at this time. Now blend for 10-15 secs until you have a creamy potato/onion mix.
Place a scoopful in the tortilla and lay on the pan to crisp.

Enjoy with shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream/avocado

Activate your inner Vape!

Howdy readers!
Okay so surely, you all have caught onto the trend of these vapor pens! As a recovering smoker, I sure have.
Anyway, these pens are vaporizers that create vapor from the "juice" (which is consumable glycerin or vegetable  oil based flavor).
These juices come in all flavors and even with nicotine for those trying to overcome their cigarette addiction.
There are tons of intimidating factors which can come into play when deciding to shop for a vape pen.

How do you know it will work for you?
How do you know you're getting a good deal?
Well, a good vape pen can run you from $40-$75, depending on where you shop.
But all in all, if smoking is your thing, here is a way to inoffensively toke wherever your little heart desires! (Unless and until someone asks you to stop)
Be mindful of the establishment rules, and courteous to those around you-you never know what commonalities you may find!
Also, a cool vape shop called Activape is located in the city of West Covina, they're super friendly and chill, eager to answer any questions you may have. Check them out on Yelp*! 

Trick or treat!

Hi readers today I am going to suggest the best cities in America to do your trick or treating!

Pretty Girl

One of the vendors/designers I met was a young lady named Laura (left). She was there with her fashionable associates Lena Love Bad (center), and Stephanie Shaw (right).
These ladies had a wicked style; it was like pastel my little pony meets LA chic with a twist of bondage-inspired wear.
These ladies were so amazing and great seamstresses; Laura said her inspiration was always there as far back as she could remember, and sowing her clothes makes her happy, along with her girlfriends.

Dripped

Hey readers! It is L.A. Fashion week, which means fashion shows and exhibits all week long!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting a fashion event titled "Dripped Fashion Soiree and Trunk Show."

All of the designers brought out their best pieces for exhibit and sale.

The variety of this crowd was something which I had never experienced before, it really gave me an insight to a completely different world of which I had no idea.

Many of the styles were vintage inspired, which means high-waisted pants, platform shoes, and arrangements of patterns on both pants and shirts. From floral print to Bart Simpson, now I know there are certainly different genres of clothing as well.

Follow along for more trendy posts!

Halloween Goodies!

Lately I have been posting easy do it yourself ideas. This is because of a traumatic experience that happenned one night while I was out. As a consequence of this, I have been staying home more, thus enjoying arts and crafts at home with my family instead of being out on the streets.

With that being said, here is a fun idea for Halloween goodies with fruits and vegetables.

All you will need is:
Peeled bananas, cut in half
chocolate chips (regular and mini)
mini mandarins (peeled by hand)
celery sticks cut into a straw-like width

Now, lodge the chocolate chips into the top tip of the bananas.
and lodge the celery sticks into the tops of the mini mandarins. 
Refer to the picture for more help!

One Veg World

Okay, so with all the trends that come and go on a seasonal basis, there are some things that just do not stop trending, such as: FOOD!

Now, I am not exactly one to be eager to try new foods, but when hunger calls, anything is appetizing, that is for sure.

With that being said, a restaurant called One Veg World came and dropped off samples to my work.
The restaurant is located in beautiful West Covina, CA and ALL THE FOOD USED IS VEGAN!!
That means, nothing in this restaurant came out of a living/breathing animal!

Do try their bbq chicken wings (not really chicken)
and empanadas.. yummmm!
 located at:
178 S Glendora Ave
West CovinaCA 91790

Or you can find out more information on Yelp* about this location!
