Just got back today from Vegas. Such a nice and awesome vacation but glad to be home to see our fluffy babies..will be uploading pictures soon! :)

Starting tomorrow, I am officially on a vacation!!! Husband and I ( I still feel weird calling him husband!) will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary in Vegas. Our Anniversary is not until the 12th but were celebrating a little early. Last year we went to Jamaica and stayed at Sandal Resort and it was fabulous except the second day we got there, he got extremely sick so he didnt get to enjoy much of it. We are also going with some of our friends so it should be fun. On the list is Ka and O Cirque De Soleil!! I am having a hard time packing for Vegas since I want to bring everything! I woke up yesterday and guess who I saw in my luggage:: Miko sleeping -_- Acting all innocent I hope all my readers will have a fabulous week, I am bringing my DSLR camera with me to Vegas so I will share some pictures when I am back. Last year, my friend Brian did a lil fun video of us to show at our wedding because our wedding was in South Dakota and we wanted to show our friends/family ...

It has been months since the last time I bought a new duvet set. The last one I bought was from Hautelook and I was extremely disappointed since the fabric was cheap and rough..not to mention spending almost a $100 on it too. I went to TJ Max over the weekend to return some stuff and found a king size lilac duvet set for only $16.99!! I was super excited because it's extremely soft and super affordable. Came home and put it straight to the washer/dryer and ta da! As I was putting the duvet set together, it hit me that I don't have any other pillows to go with it because I tend to buy only blue/green pillows. So all I have is my Hello Kitty pillow :D I'm pretty excited our lamp matches our set! Hope everyone had a great weekend! If you havent voted for me for the CB2 contest, will you take just few min to do so? Click here to vote Thanks Once Upon a Tea Time for featuring our lil nest last week!

Last week I entered for the CB2 Contest. Thank you so so much for those who voted for me *blush* for those who would like to vote for me, you can do so by clicking here . I was looking through their website and fell in love with pretty much everything on their site. It's too bad they don't have a CB2 store here in Virginia, I'll just have to make sure to stop by a store when I'm in NYC. CB2 is a modern and contemporary home decor store from Crate and Barrel that first opened in Chicago in 2000. Right now they only have 6 stores open, mostly in big cities. ::Cb2 inspirations:: ::images via cb2 website::

I am so glad it is Friday, today we are going to this seafood restaurant that is right by the beach for my friend's birthday dinner. We have been going out to eat a lot so this may be the last meal out for awhile. I need to start cooking again. This weekend we are also celebrating Coco and Miko's birthday (our dogs) Coco is turning 2 and Miko is turning 4. This is the first night got her, she was so tiny and wearing Miko's old hoodie Miko couple years back at our old apt looking like a model in his polo shirt :D We have 4 dogs and my parents think that we are crazy! well I do too, never thought I would have this many dogs but we love them like they are our kids. Have a splendid weekend everyone!

I need a huge favor from you guys! Yesterday I got an email from CB2 saying that they are having a contest on a creative space, so I entered it for fun. Well as I was looking at the prizes today, I am so blown away by them. 1 Winner will get $10,000 in CB2 merchandise, a private photo shoot with Todd Selby to be featured on his blog, theselby.com, and a signed print from the shoot. There is also second and and third prize too! I'm just hoping to get the honorable mentions prize which 15 ppl can win. I entered these three photos I encourage you to vote for others but be nice if you could also vote for me too? :) Click on image

It has been awhile since my husband and I went out together. Were not really the clubbing type couple, but more of stay home with dogs and watching some action or comedy movie. It is nice to get out of the house once in awhile, and getting dressed up. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, here is my weekend =0) Bought this dress awhile back and finally got the chance to wear it. Dress:: Arden B Shoes:: Madden Girl were such alcoholics=) actually I drank water all night the guy in background is actually my friend's hubby lol didnt know he was behind us
