Fall for this tag! Here’s a fun survey I recently received from Fellow Fashionista La Petite Fashionista...4 Things I Did Today:
1. Ran in the crunchy fall leaves in the park near my house.
2. Made oatmeal with apples and cinnamon – like having pie for breakfast!
3. Listed a bunch of stuff on ebay and craigslist.
4. Polished all my black shoes.
4 Things On My To-Do List:1. Rake leaves (CC took these tree pics in her neighborhood!)
2. Grill chicken for dinner or pork tenderloin if I’m feeling really motivated!
3. Write a letter to my artist friend Sara in Spain. (A series of her ink blot paintings are pictured at left - so gorgeous!)
4. Get teeth cleaned and whitened!
4 Guilty Pleasures:
1. Gossip Girl, Lipstick Jungle, Dirty Sexy Money, Desperate Housewives and other such TV nonsense! Photos of DSM via starpulse.com.
2. Robust red wine and 70% cocoa dark chocolate, pref. together!3. My bazillion fashion mag subscriptions, esp. Vogue, Bazaar, Elle & W!
4. Occasion celeb stalking on justjared, imnotobsessed and New York Post Page Six.com.
4 Random Facts about Me:
1. I hardly ever wear makeup, but I always have my nails painted.
2. My parents met in Hong Kong at a tailor shop during the Vietnam War. This is a picture of my mom when she was a Donut Dolly for the Red Cross; yes, that is a gattling gun.
3. I love writing old-fashioned “snail mail” letters or communicating online, but I don’t relish gabbing on the phone (but isn’t that photo at left from M.A.C. Cosmetics alluring?).4. I have four siblings, all younger, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. My sister Mindy and my bother Bryan are twins.

Lenore of Lenorenevermore
Lisa of Leeselooks

I love fall! My fave is stepping on leaves and hearing the crunch underneath my shoes. And I love the old pic of your Mom!
It's great to know these little things about you. I'm so with you about wine and chocolate altogether and find your parent's encounter so romantic.
cc, what a cute pic of your mom and a fun post!
i hear ya on the red wine and dark chocolate :) when i'm in the city or just really freaking out, i'll do the above mentioned, or tiramisu with white wine....yummy!
Ohh. fall leaves, how beautiful!!!! The phone with the dusted pink lips...stunning finds = ) Me either, I don't wear much makeup unless I am going for that flawless look or going out...
Oh dear I love the way you did this meme. So beautifuly with the pictures.
Red wine and 70% cocoa dark chocolate together is one thing I do love.
And now I know why you're so beautiful... your mother is also very beautiful.
Thank you so much dear for your support and words in my blog. I wish I was brave enough to wear somethings sometimes... but I'm getting better with all your help.
Thanks again.

Oh dear I'm with you on the red wine, but instead of chocolate I'll pick a nice provolone cheese :)
You so make me feel like running around in crunchy Fall leaves.. luckyy! :)
Thanks for the comment, sweetie. I don't know whether to part with the pirate pants, yet, or not? You're always such a dear! Thanks for taking the time to pop in.

Oh I have to polish my black shoes today as well!
girl you have got me craving oatmeal! i always make it the boring way,Steve makes it like you with cinnamon and lots of fruit!
Those leaves are beautiful,just the inspiration i need to start painting again. If we had such a beautiful autumn/fall i'd be rolling in them constantly!
Girl your Mummy is beautiful!! Both you and your sister have her stunning features,I LOVE HOW YOUR MUM AND DAD met!That is definately a tale to tell the grandkids.
Honey you dont need makeup ;o),i barely wear it but it's because I hate having to take it off hehhe.Like you,I wear my nail polish.
Have a lovely day hon and thanks for sharing these yummy bits about CC!
muah.

Thanks for all your amazing remarks, darlings . . . CC is always timid about sharing, but always glad when she does.
And CC's mom was totally honored and moved by the lovely compliments you left regarding her early 70s military pic - she reports that may be an AK-47, not a gattling gun ...
My parents' meeting and falling in love during the Vietnam War was exquisitely romantic, but like so many wartime tales, this one ended rather sadly. My parents divorced in 1986, and my father passed away in 2001.
My mom still speaks of her Vietnam experience with a mix of nostalgia and sadness. She gives slide presentations to local high school students about her time in Korea and Vietnam during the early 70s, which keeps the memory of my father and the trials of war alive.
Keep up the attentive and loving comments, darlings!
xoxox,
CC
Everyone here says that your mom is stuning, but for some reason I can't see that picture!!! Anyway, thanks so much for your nice comments, CC. Transferible letters is what i used, you can tell your brother. It's as old as the telephone. Even more! I love the leaves... so otoñal... LoL, sara.
