Things I Love Thursday
This Indian girl tattoo design by Zach Spurlock is pretty amazing – I would love something like this as a print. I am still really feeling Native American-inspired clothing and accessories, like these Caballero boots from Free People. I am thinking about tattoos a lot lately too. We had been following the show Ink Master, which just finished, and I would really love for Donny & I to get inked for our anniversary in a couple of months.
Most of the shoes in my current collection are proving to be uncomfortable for stomping around town, especially while chasing a toddler. I have my eye out for a great pair of slip-ons and some awesome sneakers for the warmer weather. These Vans by Peter Som would be adorable for spring, and these Jeremy Scott X ADIDAS high-tops (above) are even better – I want a pair for everyone in my family!
This week marked the warmest days of 2012 so far – It was warm enough to hang out at the park! The place was pretty packed but Sebastian took it in stride as the mini-mobs of bigger kids pushed past him. He enjoyed the swing for exactly two pushes before taking a peek down and deciding he’d had enough. The slide was another story – He did this smaller one several times and even gave the big kid slide a go. Whee!
The awesome Portland weather was really the star of the week. We drove around in the sunshine, had our monthly family sushi date, and did a bit of shopping at the Asian supermarket. (Yay for the container of kimchi now in my fridge!)
I also ordered two pairs of denim valued at around $200 total for less than $50 on Zulily, free for me as I only spent store credit. (Thank you to everyone who has signed up and shopped through my affiliate link!) I was stoked to find out that Zulily allows earned credit $$ to cover shipping as well. (You would expect this, but Beyond the Rack makes you pay shipping separately, regardless of how much credit you’ve acquired.) Ordering denim online is always a gamble and I ordered two different sizes. I lost a couple more pounds of baby weight (Am I still allowed to call it that?) this week and am using my new jeans purchase as motivation to keep the momentum going.

My Birthday -Slash- Mother’s Day Wish List
Totally fitting, my first Mother’s Day as the mom of an outside-baby falls on my birthday! I will be a quarter-century on Sunday, May 8th. I am not one of those girls who is bummed about a birthday – I think it’s fabulous to celebrate yourself once a year even as an adult. I’m not sure what my plans will be yet, if anything, but I do have a wishlist! I made a point of keeping items I want for Baby off of this list – This one day is about me.
OrganicRustCreation, MamaBethBling, Jeneri Jewelry, gomommy.
I want a mama necklace. I would love something with Sebastian’s name or intial (I’d love if it said Sebastian Donatello) and his birthstone (sapphire). Most “mommy” stuff is super tacky but I think a charm like this is cute and classy. It gets even cuter when you add more kids and start stacking them.
I want a long skinny belt. Or a dozen! Long enough to tie once or twice and wear with just about everything.
I want more TOMS. Taking this one from Deborah Ruth – I seriously need more TOMS shoes in my life. My favorite are these Black Grommet TOMS. I also love their wedges and I wouldn’t mind having this TOMS sweatshirt – I’d cut it into a v-neck. I read an article this week about the problem with TOMS being that their “Buy One Give One” (For every pair you buy they give a pair to a child in need) treats a symptom of poverty rather than the cause. While this is true, it is also true that they don’t have to donate anything. I am pretty sure that kids would rather receive shoes than nothing at all.
I want a nice camera. A point-and-shoot, but a good one. I’ve asked around and the top reccs were this Sony Cyber-shot
I want a new tattoo. Or a dozen. I really want a breastfeeding tattoo – perhaps a pinup-style design like the one above – although I might wait until we hit a year of BF first. I have also been thinking about getting characters from The Foot Book (Dr. Seuss) tattooed on my feet and I know that I want a half-sleeve. I also still need “Home” in Korean – My husband beat me to it even though it was my idea! And I need the hot mess of a hollow star on my hip fixed. And I’d love tattoos that cap my shoulders. And and and… I want a lot of ink.
Honorable mentions would be a pedicure and a wax. See my Etsy favorites or my Amazon wishlist if you’re thinking seriously about treating me! If you enjoy this blog, you can also consider hitting the donation button in the right sidebar.

Early Happy Mother’s Day to all of the other mamas!
New Hair Obsession
I am majorly digging on the newly red hair that Khloe Kardashian revealed at the 2011 People’s Choice Awards. She looks so naturally pretty here (in a dress by Alexander McQueen).
I seriously adore Kourtney Kardashian for being such a rad mothering role model and I love Khloe for her big mouth! All of the Kardashians have great style if only Kim would start wearing dresses in the correct size.
I also dig Lamar’s initials on Khloe’s right hand and would love to cop something similar – And how hot is her Judith Leiber clutch.
I would really, really love to try this hair color, but I’m not sure it will work with my skin tone, which is less fair. I also don’t really have the time to sit and have it done, although I’m sure my stylist would be up for the challenge.
What do you guys think of this look? – Could I rock it?
Pregnancy Henna!
34 Weeks Pregnant
I had my belly painted with henna on Friday and I’m hoping it lasts as long as possible, maybe even until Sebastian is born. It was her first time applying henna on a belly but it came out amazing – The photos really don’t do it justice.
Traditionally, henna is applied during the third trimester of pregnancy to bring positivity and an easy birth.
