  • failure.

    failure.

    Guys, I couldn’t do it. Scratch that, I didn’t do it. I didn’t make my own deadline. As I walked in the door last night after a day of Christmas overload (we decorated Yong’s mom’s house), the disappointment fully set in as I realized what day it was. My plans had included using this weekend…

  • running: progress, week two

    running: progress, week two

    The temperature dropped about 10° from last week, down to 64°. In LA we call that cold. Sorry rest of the country, we’re spoiled! For me that means under the covers with the space heater blasting (we have no central air and poor insulation). So I’m especially proud that I went out and did my…

  • back to work.

    back to work.

    Below is the current state of events when it comes to my workspace. Sad, I know. I don’t think I’ve ever shared this space because I never really knew where I was going with it. I kept waiting to have some epiphany about how to finish it.  I have a thing for black walls and…

  • doing it and doing it and doing it (not so) well.

    doing it and doing it and doing it (not so) well.

    You guys, I’m doing it! Last week’s post was, like I said, difficult for me; but so necessary. All of last week I focused on the self-discipline part of it all. Kept myself on task when it came to the small stuff. I mean really small stuff, like replying to emails/texts/messages immediately. Especially if they…

  • just do it already.

    As a I check my twitter feed this morning I noticed a tweet from Nike Women that simply read “What are you training for?” — To which I replied, “a better me.” @infamylives How are you improving yourself today? #mymoment #nikeplus — NikeWomen (@nikewomen) October 24, 2012 They replied with a question I’ve been asking…

    new adventures of old christine.

    Oh, Christine! In case you’ve never seen my girl-crush board on Pinterest, let’s just say I think I’m in love with Christine Centenera. I may or may not want to have her children. Putting together an outfit post inspired by this very look as we speak! Ah!

  • work&play day.

    work&play day.

    Peplum tops and magenta-colored trousers. Staples? Maybe not for everyone but I wouldn’t mind adding them to my arsenal. Currently my commute leaves me completely drained when I get home. Cook? Clean? Ugh, how about a nap instead? Nevermind falling asleep randomly around the car/house when I get home (don’t worry, we carpool), an invite…

  • studded.

    Everyone’s favorite basic sandal from Zara is back with slight modifications. Sporting a chunkier heel and *gasp* studs! I, for one, purchased immediately. Considering I couldn’t ever find the original basic sandal in my size I just couldn’t pass this up.

  • week’s end.

    week’s end.

    This weekend involved an overindulgence in everything lazy. Except trying out the ‘Best Marinade in Existence‘ as recommended by Ms. Teigen. Dude, if you’re in need of a new marinade, or just you know… like to eat really deliciously tender and juicy steak — MAKE THIS NOW. We used chuck steak because it was $3/lb.…
