The LOVELY Barbados…

NOVEMBER 17th-22nd, 2009- BARBADOS TRIP

Last week I jetted off to Barbados for 5 days to celebrate my girlfriends Charlotte & Moosh’s Bdays. I try to get away a few times a year to somewhere tropical to relax and recharge before I begin working on my next collection. Check out my week in the beautiful Barbados!

I woke up to birds chirping and to this beautiful ocean view every morning.

I HEART the beach! Every so often I need to run away to get some ME time. So tranquil to lay and hear the sound of the ocean.

The people were so friendly & sweet in Barbados!

GORGEOUS…oh, so pretty!

Moosh & ME! It’s her birthday week celebration in Barbados!

Charlotte (birthday girl) & Natalie (my college roomie!)

Enjoying local food!

We had the best tour guides! They’re giving us a taste of the local life!

We tried flying fish for the first time!

Friday night in Barbados, it’s a big outdoor party!

Catching up on reading..reading…reading! ME time!

It’s been such a lovely and relaxing trip. Sometimes we all need to just get

Barbados, you exceeded my expectations. I’ve fallen in love with you in such a short amount of time, and can’t wait to come back! Till we meet again…

Something New…Something Blue!

Sunday nights are usually my chill nights in the city. Most of the time I’m meeting up with friends to grab dinner, have a few drinks, and wind down before the new week begins.

I’ve been living in the LES for a bit, and walked by MOLE (Mexican restaurant) a million times, but never ever walked in to grab dinner or even a drink. It’s been on my list of places I must check out. So when my friend, Nam recommended we go there for dinner last night, I figure why not? I always love trying out new spots in my neighborhood.

Trying SOMETHING NEW…Sunday night dinner at MOLE in the LES…

Mole in the LES….

ME! & Nam! I always LOVE hanging with her, because it’s never a dull moment!

LOVE the tiles at the bar!

Fresh guacamole made at your table! Yummmy!

The final product….YUM ….YUM….YUM!

Isi hanging out with the ladies…

Good size portions and not too pricey! Perfect combo !

Shrimp & Flounder dish served with soft tacos. So good!

WHAT I WAS ROCKIN….SOMETHING BLUE…
I was rockin one my favorite A/W '09 winter prints-Blue leopard print in the Bella dress.

Check out some printed blue inspirations on the runway…

Royal blue is a color I pretty much work with year round.

LOVE the zipper and drawstring details!

I’ve been going through a major “leggings all day every day” phase. Great for my super lazy days.

I made this coat 2yrs ago. Still one of my favorites YUMI KIM pieces!

It’s getting COLD in NYC!

Minnetonka boots are so cute & comfortable!

Goodnight, New York!
