Green With Envy
Happy St. Patricks Day! No need to pinch me with these beautiful soles on. If these won’t make you lucky, I don’t know what will.

Helping Japan
If you’re interested in helping the earthquake/tsunami aftermath in Japan, here are some non-profit organizations and charities that do great work. These are great alternatives to The Red Cross. Personally, I’ve always been very weary of The Red Cross. The organization is laced with mismanagement and unethical use of funds. I encourage the public and all my readers to closely research and monitor their practices before opting to allocate your contributions there.
With the threat of radiation and potential aftershocks still looming, the country of Japan needs our help. Additionally, these charities below also need our help to further their relief efforts.

Crossroads

Happy Texas Independence Day
On March 2, 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico. The Alamo, which had been under siege since February 23, would fall four days later, but the Republic of Texas would win its independence on April 21, 1836 at the Battle of San Jacinto.
Here’s the short list of things that I love about Texas.
The University of Texas at Austin
Texas Beer: Saint Arnold, Shiner, Real Ale
Tubing Texas Rivers in the Summer
Tex-Mex. Need I say more?

God of Love (Trailer) – A Short film by Luke Matheny
Here’s the trailer to the now Oscar winning short film, God of Love, by Luke Matheny. This 18 minute comedy is available for purchase on iTunes. I believe we’ll be seeing a lot of good stuff from him in the future.

Vintage Map Pillows
I love vintage maps. Their history, charm, and antique feel are great additions to modern living. They warm up rooms and provide that comfortable (worn in) feeling. That said, I love these pillows. Cute, functional and great as an accent piece with other neutral pieces.

Signature Scent
I have two signature scents. I’ve worn them forever and don’t plan on switching it up anytime soon. I get perfume samples from my Sephora online orders and I’m just not impressed. Personally, I find myself gravitationally pulled towards the classic French scents. What can I say? I’m set in my ways. Also, I’m an Eau de Parfum girl through and through — never Eau de Toilette. Just a couple dabs. You never want to overpower.

Happy Lunar New Year
Happy year of the rabbit (or cat in the Vietnamese zodiac calendar)! Love this Lego dragon dance figurine. Geeky but then again, so is this blog. As I always say, there’s a way to modernize and update without disregarding the intentions of the past. To all my readers, here’s to a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. Chúc mừng năm mới!

Elie Saab
A beautiful gown to look at on a cold February day. A beautiful and elegant look by the tastefully modern Elie Saab. Love the neckline, the movement, and the blush color.
Laughing is so much fun.
