Ceramic Goodness...

Handmade ceramic cuties from Fruit Fly Pie on Etsy. Super cute hand-made planters like this bright and cheery piggy...

A friendly orange owl bank...

Giant ceramic cookie jar posing as a cupcake. I think this would make my cookies taste better.

Las Vegas Baby...

I was on hiatus from my annual Vegas trips while managing the stores, but now I'm back on track. My dad loves the Vacations Hawaii tour packages, so we left on Thursday and came back on Tuesday. Scratch that. We left on Friday because Omni Air International sucks and there was a major delay. Despite our trip being cut a day short, we still managed to get a lot done.

Here I am waiting at the airport. Love my new Banana Republic booties. They match everything and were an additional 40% off when I bought them in-store a few weeks back.

Here's me and my pops riding the shuttle bus to the California Hotel. I do like that you don't really have to worry about picking up your luggage and can get straight to the gambling.

Buddha in the lobby of the Cal...

Main Street Hotel and Casino, where we spent many hours gambling and eating...

Banana cream pie from the Main Street buffet...

Lappert's ice cream, where I bought a mocha every night to keep me going...

We made a stop at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop because a certain Pawn Stars fan wanted me to bring home a Chum Lee shirt. We thought it was open 24 hours, so we went late one night hoping to miss any lines. Turns out they only buy stuff from sellers through a small window 24 hours, but the shop itself is not open 24 hours. We were told that all the main people on the show are never in the shop anymore. Got my shirt and got out.





Went shopping at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, because they have an Urban Outfitters and H&M. I was intrigued by the giant stripper with pole located in the mall. Only in Vegas.

Passed a Savers and convinced my dad to stop, so I could search for vintage goodies. No luck. It was all too new to be considered vintage cool.

Also checked out The Orleans, M Casino, Hilton, and Stratosphere.



Ended my stay with breakfast with my favorite Vegas residents.

So glad to have taken a vacation but so tired and unready to get back to work.

So I got a side job...

Lunch at Bella Mia

Finally had a chance to check out Bella Mia Pizzeria, the cute restaurant that looks like a house on Beretania St. (right before Los Chaparros). We got there around 12 pm and there was a lot of parking. The seating on their lanai is casual, cool, and clean.



Had the eggplant parmigiana which was huge and will also be eaten for dinner tonight.


Bruce had the sausage sub, which was a little messy but again, HUGE.



Can't forget the FREE bread balls.



Overall, a fun casual place for lunch or dinner. Service was fast and friendly!

Busy weekend...

Strawberries & cream waffles at Pancakes & Waffles in Kalihi. Yum! We went there 2 days in a row. Had a good vegetarian omelette on Friday. The service was fast!



Spent time with the family outdoors...





Topshop sweater and forever 21 necklace.


Hope you had a fabulous weekend!
