Valentine Picks

I was looking through my archives to see if we've ever posted about Valentine's Day. Then remembered that my friends and I hosted a Galentine's party two years ago! How could I forget! This is one of the reasons why I love blogging and documenting life through photos. 

Stumbled on some pretty cool stuff for Valentine's day! Here are a few of our faves!
This is so adorbs!!

One for your other hand and one to hold hands in! So awesome.

Shred the Mountain

Last month, I got to take a little time off from work and hit the slopes in Vail with my dad. It was a really nice getaway from the warm weather and just let loose in the mountains. Little did I know that it was going to be -20F! It was so cold many of the locals stayed in! By the time I landed back in LA, I was so grateful for the warm weather. 

The last time I skied before Vail was 3 years ago. So my first day was pretty rough, trying to remember techniques my dad had ingrained into my brain since I was young. Then reminiscing on those days when I "pizza-ed" all the way down or better yet, took off my skies and slid on my butt. 

This trip was a little different. I was skiing with my dad and a few of his buddies (who ski regularly). Uh uh.. no way I was going to let these "old-farts" school me! I was really determined to keep up with them!
With the new policy on the plane, I was able to keep my phone on airplane mode and snap some beautiful photos from above!
Day 1 - Gorgeous blue skies but -20F
Hitting the blacks and the double blacks.. Yikes!
Here's a quick little video I put together of my 3 days in Vail! Enjoy!
 

East Meets West Meets East

Erin and Court's adventure part TWO! You can see part one here!
I noticed a lot more detail this time around trekking along Hollywood Road and hitting all my favorite Soho stores and passing by cute bars. I think it was because I was holding a new camera and wanted to keep snapping everything.
I absolutely love this photo - a great mix of both Western and Eastern style with a red door handle, a swing bench and a very interesting collection of men. Was this bar always there?
My turn!
While trying to find a snack, we found this amazing door! I couldn't get over how random but awesome it is!

Loving my new "sister" ring from The9thMuse by Alex Mika!
We got too hungry and had to stop at the first coffee shop we saw.
Twinsies!
It's rare to see blue skies in Hong Kong, but the pollution wasn't too bad that day! Got to snap a lovely sunset photo from the highway on our way home.

The Fong House

Tucked behind a plethora of trees, flowers and bushes is a one story suburban home in San Marino, CA. When I first parked outside the house, I would've never guessed the interior was so modern and spacious. A few things that I love about it... First was of course being greeted by a little dog, Gizmo, barking at me until I reached down to pet him. Next, I immediately noticed the mixture of Asian and Western furniture throughout. And my favorite, the kitchen! Well..you'll know when you see it...
Eames Chair!
I love the green stained cabinets, and how much light flows through. Such a great space for entertaining a close group of friends.
Gizmo's throne - LOVE this green rocking chair

This is only a handful of photos out of 200 that I took! Almost every corner I turned had something worth photographing - even the flower pots, the built in coffee machine and the decoration on the coffee table.
