CHICK NIGHT + WEEKEND FUN!

happy Monday Guys! i am looking forward to this week putting all my energy towards lots of hard work and accomplishments..i've been very stressed juggling two jobs (my full time day job and Bella my part time night job)..but i almost forgot that as much as it is hard work i am not in a miserable job situation by no means like a few people feel they are in..i work in fashion in the day and then with my love of vintage at night...sometimes i complain but i have to remind myself that although i have certain dreams and goals i want to accomplish still and seem so far from reach i have come a long way from working in an office as an Executive Assistant just a few years ago..so thank you God for the reminder..

chick night Zoe & I


ok for our chick night this week we watched Lucas...ahhh so sad to see Corey Haim on screen..he was so talented and cute..mann i know this is a cliché or a cheesy line but DRUGS suck say NO! Zoe loved him and we both were saddened...but what a great film to remember him by, an under-dog story...Zo's favorite type, she's always rooting for them..Winona Ryder looks nothing like her gorgeous self now..she was cute but she totally did blossom from that point on and Charlie Sheen suuuuper cute..







definitely in our top ten 80's feel good films..we give it two thumbs up!

we went fabric shopping, I'm going to teach Zo how to make bows (she's been dying for some) and we are making cute tote bags..i also found this great bright colored paisley fabric in our down-town adventures..probably will turn out to be a shirt of some type..

pretty country florals, polka dots, mexican inspired bright paisley fabric..


i thoroughly enjoy walking through down-town fashion district with all the trim shops and fabric...so many creations pop in my mind when i do and i want to take on all! jeez frustrating because i know i can't..for now

down-town L.A. fashion district



we also went to the jewelry supply shop..one of the best in L.A. in my opinion they have ALL types of chains in every color, size, fabrication along with beads and stones of all kinds..i have allot of projects i will be starting on this week and will share the results this weekend! yay..



i have these great patterns i bought in pretty much mint condition, can't wait to get started on these guys..

check out the childrens vintage 70's maxi dress and ruffle top patterns so so cute


Zoe was complaining how hot it was on our little adventure on this day..it was a gorgeous day, this picture pretty much saids it all...umm you know you are wearing all black missy...

MOVIE NIGHT

hi all! me & the Zo Miester have made a tradition of watching movies together on Friday nights, eating junk food and laughing, crying or bearing the cheese together..

i've made it a point to expose her to movies from different era's..great movies like How to Steal A Million and Singing in the Rain (the musical before HM) we also have watched the 80's movies i grew up with..we love the cheesy lines, great clothes and the actors that in some cases are no longer in movies.

here are 10 of our favorites....

Zo's favorite, Gremlins...how cute is Gizmo?!


my favorite E.T...i still cry..


Weird Science..all of John Hughes films are classics..Kelly Lebrocks outfits in the film are to dye for..


Big..we want the big keyboard oh and the loft in NY..


Splash..ah Daryl Hannah and her crimped hair...and the name Madison is great..


Can't Buy Me Love...the so called nerd wins the girl..


Kramer vs Kramer..although a 1979 film we are going to count it in the 80's..we really enjoyed this film..the acting is superb by all three characters..and Meryl Streep is just GORGEOUS in this film..costume design is great too..


Dirty Dancing...no one puts Baby in the corner..


Adventures in Babysitting..Elizabeth Shue sooo cute..


Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi...we heart Chewbacca..we want a Wookie! of course great classic film..

although most of these films are PG i did have to cover her eyes in some scenes....just a heads up..there are still quite a few 80's flicks we need to catch up with..like Parenthood and Stand by me..we enjoy spending this time together talking and watching on the couch...i'm looking forward to tomorrows movie night with her...

hope your having a good one
