Back in California

One of the things I love about California is the variety of food that they have there. You can easily find different cultures food and they are delicious. I am always looking forward to eating all types of food when visiting California!

We stayed at my best friend's house and they made us delicious steak. It was so good!


I love cherries and all types of berries because eating them makes me merry :) This was a fruit stand in San Francisco and I just couldn't resist it.


I am excited to share with you a picture of my adventurous husband eating a craw fish. Yes, it is a craw fish that's he putting in his mouth :) however, the craw fish is not to be eaten like that. For your information, craw fish taste just like lobsters and you eat it like eating a lobster. You break out the tail, peel it and eat the little tiny meat from the tail but it's all about the sauce that makes it good :) Dare to try some?

Our California trip last month was busy but very fun. Our family took a short vacation after the fashion show and we went to L.A. to go to Disney Land - it's the most fun place! I miss California!

The Artists

One of the greatest attractions at the Embrace Fashion Show was the art gallery consisting of fine artworks from many talented artists. Jorge Rivas (right), the head of the art department and Josaphat Zelaya (left) did a wonderful job setting up the art exhibition. There was so much positive feedback and admirations for all the unique artwork that we showcased. Great job artists and artisans and thanks for your contribution!

The Art Gallery

These are just a few to mention...

The names of the fine artists along with the models...

Kimberly Owen at Nerd with Heels just did an editorial about the fashion show on her blog. I met her at the fashion show and she is such a sweet gal. There are some new pictures and videos on her blog so make sure you check it out here.

one year anniversary

Hello! My husband and I just celebrated our one year anniversary of marriage - last weekend, Sept 24th. I am so happy to be married to this man and I would totally marry him again in a second :) My husband planned a wonderful day out at Stillwater – a place next to a beautiful lake with a strip mall full of vintage shops. We had lunch and dinner together and the day turned out awesome!

Sweet and short memory lane in pictures...

Time to breathe

Hello...I've been in California and just got back home for almost a week already. As much as I love California and miss it, it always feels good to be home with the hubby :) Sorry for our absence couple weeks ago...we were super busy bees getting the fashion show together. Now I'm just playing catch up with things around the house and with work...and finally have some room to breathe :) Above is one of the pictures from the backstage after the fashion show with the models and the runway coach. I'll be back with some more pictures from our trip. Just wanted to drop in to say hello.

So happy the weekend is near! Have a good night!

Embrace Fashion Show Video

Don't feel bummed out if you missed the Embrace Fashion Show. The video is here! Of course seeing it live is a better experience then seeing it on the screen but at least you'll have a taste of how it was like. We have to say the show was beyond what we expected. We had so much fun and we're so happy with the result!

Did you see any pieces of clothes that you are dying to have? If so, don't forget to check out our Shop in October for some of the items from our Vintage Love and Vintage Glamour collections. These are all unique, vintage clothes that you cannot find anywhere else and there are only one of each so you want to be the first one to grab it :)



Have a great week!

XOXO,
Embriven
