“i’m in ________ trick!”

That’s righty folks – I’m off for some girly fun!!!!! Me and the ladies are hitting up San Francisco, New York and the Hamptons for two weeks. Call it a real life Gossip Girl/Sex in the City venture, minus the gossip and s-x of course ;) . It’s not all play and no work though – I have a few shoots planned during the trip – I know, I’m waaaay too dedicated to my job :) .

I will be responding to emails upon my return. Have a safe and fun 4th of July everyone!!!

And because I hate to have a post without any photos, I thought I’d share a couple of photos I took a while back with my little point and shoot. I have no idea where I even dug these up from. I’m curious to see what photos I come up with this time around!

SF:

NYC:

And I’ve never been to the Hamptons :) .

guess where?

“my christmas wish this year”

Today I sat down and while humming “Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la” in my head, I wrote this note to Santa regarding my Christmas wish this year:

Dearest Santa,

I have been a very good girl this year and would love to have a brand new handbag this year for Christmas. Preferably a creamy leather handbag by Marc Jacobs with shiny gold accents. Thank you Santa and please enjoy the Sprinkles cupcakes I have left for you by my pseudo-fireplace.

Forever good,

Kim Le

But, soon after I wrote the note, I realized that I didn’t need to write the letter because I had already bought the handbag for myself! Whoops – my bad! =)

Here she is – isn’t she soooo looooovely??? =) *Sigh*

**Merry Christmas to me!!! Merry Christmas to me!!!**

Soooo I decided to write this new letter instead:

 

Dearest Santa family & friends,

 

I have been a very good girl this year and would love decided to have treat myself to a brand new handbag this year for Christmas. Preferably It is a creamy leather handbag by Marc Jacobs with shiny gold accents. Unfortunately because Mr. Jacobs has insane markups on his handbags, I’m sorry but I have no money left for Christmas gifts this year. Thank you Santa for being a special part of my life and please enjoy the Sprinkles cupcakes I have left for you by my pseudo-fireplace as a token of my love and please wash your hands before touching my new handbag.

Love Fforever good,

Kim Le

“giving thanks”

 

Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays of the year. I mean who doesnt love a holiday where all you do is eat and hang out with loved ones?! =). Every year for Thanksgiving, my sister turns into Martha Stewart and whips us this extravagant turkey day feast for our phamily. I eat until Im as stuffed as the turkey, watch some football and then eat some more. Then I try to sleep as early as I can (which usually doesnt work) so I can wake up early for Black Friday, which is another favorite holiday of mine. In honor of 2007, here are just 7 things Iam incredibly thankful for this year (in random order):

  1. My phamily – they drive me crazy and I love them just the way they are.
  2. My photography – the business is running along and I’ve met such great people along the way. I am honored to be able to capture such treasured memories for my clients.
  3. My roommate – good roommates are so hard to find and I’m fortunate that I’ve found someone as fun and compatible as her.
  4. The bf – good boyfriends are even harder to find. The bf has a way of making me smile and brightening up my day everyday and any day.
  5. My friends – its so true but the older you get the smaller your circle of friends become. My friends are an extension of my family and they have stuck by me in good times and bad.
  6. My health – for those of you who know me well, I’m not the best about taking care of my health needs and like to indulge in not-so-healthy-eats. Luckily, I’ve remain pretty healthy this year and been able to continue doing all the things I love to do.
  7. Justin Timberlake – he brought sexy back need I say more?

“it’s my life”

I have wanted to do this for a while and since I am officially 1000 days from my 30th birthday, I decided to start this countdown today. I know what you are thinking – “30 is nothing”, “30 is the new 20”, “you still look 16”, etc… Those may all be true, but for me turning the Big 3-0 serves as a marker in my life – recognizing that I’ve already lived 27 years and although I have very many cherished memories and am extremely grateful for all the things I have, there is so much I still have yet and would like to experience and accomplish.

So I put up this handy countdown to serve as a helpful reminder to never lose sight of my goals and follow through – to do all those things that I say I’ve always wanted to do” or “I’ve been meaning to do but never or haven’t recently taken the time to do:

This past weekend my bf joined me in the Windy City and we had the best time enjoying all of Chicago’s amazing architecture and delectable eats. It wasn’t my first time here, but it was my first time with him which made it all that more enjoyable. Some of my faves of the weekend were eating delicious deep-dish pizza from the original Pizzeria Uno, learning the history behind Chicago’s fine architecture via Wendella River and Lake tour, catching an incredible skyline view from the top of Big John, playing around with the big Bean at Millennium Park Millennium Park and eating melt-in-your-mouth pancakes at the legendary Lou Mitchell’s. I just looooove Chicago – the city and the people here have so much character. I am amazed how the city stays so clean and beautiful. Being here in the fall/winter is so nice with the leaves changing color (you don’t get that in SoCal) and everyone in their fabulous winter gear all bundled up!

My bf likes taking pics just as much as I do, here are some images from his point-and-shoot:
