made in mexico: taqueria los gorditos

this picture was taken right after it exploded all over my dress. gotta love the mexi soda.





this burrito was eight inches of meaty goodness. i even measured it.

 

we finally went to the taco cart on 50th and division. i figured it probably wouldn't live up to the hype, and that it was just a silly hipster hangout. wrong. jen and i waited out in the cold for twenty minutes, and it was totally worth it. the people were really friendly, it looked really clean inside, and best of all the food was amazing. i ordered the fajitas, and jen got a beef burrito. next time i think i'm going to ask if they will do beef fajitas. i will be back fo sho. holler!

there's platinum lightening in the sky.

new harajuku lovers!!!! in my opinion, it's probably the cutest to date. very vd themed, and would make a really good gift for all those HL fans in your life. here are a few of my faves.....



HL Women's Luxurious grey tee. 52



HL Women's Love thing red tee. 52



HL women's plaid rain jacket. 106. it's oregon people, who doesn't need on of these?

listening to : Gwen luxurious. i love this video. no one else could get away with super dark lip liner, and red (claw length) nails with out looking trashy.

my name is cupid valentino, the modern day cupid

i know what some of you are thinking. vd aka valentines day is just a silly hallmark holiday made to boost the economy, and make everyone else feel bad. well i don't totally disagree with that. but i'm putting a positive spin on things this year, and gonna try and do nice things for other people instead of dwelling on myself. ha!

today i was looking though our website trying to find some of my favorite gifty ideas for vd. for some reason it seems a little weird to choose clothing, so i have chosen all jewelry (i'm really into accessorizing these days, if you didn't already know that). i know that's quite tradish, but oh well. i hope my picks give you some ideas for presents to give on the big day. 

for the ladies.....



Obey Ray of Hope necklace in silver or gold. i feel like amy lemon might need this necklace. 34 bones.



Lucky Loo Loo sterling plated fillagree locket sparrow necklace.  a more conservative choice. 54 bones.



Tarina Tarantino love/hate double sided crystal cameo necklace. for those who can't make up their mind. 66 big ones. 



Tarina Tarantino double sided love/hate bracelet. 48. 

 

fellas.....



Vestal Fathom. spring is going to be hella flashy. don't miss out.  294 bones.



Vestal Igneous. who says men don't like a little sparkle? 130 bones.

the first of many...

i know it's fun talking about all the fresh new products that we get it, but maybe that just isn't enough for me anymore. i think i'm finally ready to share my other passions with adorn customers and the world. i will be doing posts about restaurants i visit and food i make. maybe i'll even add more fashion stuff too. who knows. i'm crrrazy.

yesterday we went to the waffle window on hawthorne. a lot of the silly people on yelp write that the portions are too small, but its a s ton of flavor packed onto the perfect size waffle. what do you expect, a thanksgiving sized feast? not all of us can stomach a huge breakfast on saturday and sunday mornings. The brie, bacon, and basil was sooo good.
