Ricature Custom Portrait

{photo drawn by Paopeipao from Ricature}

I am beyond flattered to have this photo drawn of me. I even had it framed! Jealous? Don’t be! You can have your own drawn by Ricature!

I love that you can choose different artist styles so your piece really is one of a kind. The prices are very affordable and you can even upload the picture straight to Facebook when it’s finished!

This would be a perfect gift for that person who has everything. Or it would even be a great profile picture or avatar for a game. I’m thinking about doing one with all of my pets!

If you’re looking for a one of a kind gift (or something special for yourself) then be sure to check Ricature out!

If you want to see the original picture, it is from my Whimsical Wind post.

Chevron Love

I love me some chevrons so I’m very excited to see them popping up in clothing! I think wearing chevrons is a nice break from stripes and chevrons are a lot more forgiving. If you choose your chevrons wisely you can carry this trend into a staple piece for your wardrobe. Here are a few cute pieces I found:

1. Love Culture Pastel Chevron Dress – $26.90

2. Neon Green Chevron Envelope Clutch – $20.90

3. Charlotte Russe Pleated Chevron Hi-Low Skirt – $24.99

4. Wet Seal Chevron Epoxy Earrings – $7.50

5. DSW Bamboo Brucee Chevron Print Wedge Sandal – $39.95

Sushi Happy Hour

I went to Happy Hour with a couple of my friends last night and had a blast. Our original meeting place was closed and in a happy accident we found a sushi place that had half price rolls for happy hour! It was Bento Box in Sacramento and I would recommend it hands down! Everything was so yummy!

I wore out my new Guess snakeskin platform mary jane heels and I gotta say they are extremely comfortable. I even made a trip to Trader Joe’s afterwards! Looking at these pictures makes me want some more sushi…
