Summer2013 Porchialean Larkin

          When I reflect upon my Summer 2013, I think about loungeing, spending most days being extremely

exhausted(not to be confused with being lazy), and spending a whole lot of time watching reality t.v.

You might be reading this and wondering, wait its a while before the last day of summer. But for me

personally the first day of fall semester in college is always my last day of summer. I had so many hopes and

dreams of traveling this summer and getting a part time job, but when I finally got on my toes I realized that a

little vacation on the couch was exactly what I needed. I'll never be the women I need to be if I'm not well

rested. So this summer I attented a few events that were important and other days I kicked my feet up.

Below are a few pics for you to enjoy as I share my Summer Fashions, Meals, and events I attended. Enjoy! ~PorchialeanLarkin
                 


                My Birthday Tea and Champagne Celebration with my mom at The Palace Hotel tearoom.

Eating my favorite meal at the NEW Friday's at the Peir. I usually get the sampler because I love the variety and I tried their NEW Peach Sangria drink which was amazing.

 Spent the 4th of July taking a cable car ride, having a lovely seafood dinner along Peir 39 watching the           fireworks!

                                 Spending 2013 Kickoff for Light the Night as a baseball theme, Giants vs. Cubs, and decideing to pledge $300 that I'm raising by savein all my change and I'm challenging my mom to save hers. So everytime I spend anything say I get $3.75 back, I put it all into a lil backpack looking piggybank. I'm waiting patiently to open it and see how much I'll be donating.

My birthday look.. It was a sheer floor length front button down dress from Forever 21 

priced at less then $25.

Nails and Makeup LOOKs!

Purple is one of my ultimate fav nails colors, this look features multipal designs like a striped glitter nail, solid purple nail, and a freehand style with beige as the base, purple as the design color and glitter as a top coat.

 Neon colors along with pink pastels were my signature this Summer 2013. I had so much fun painting each        nail a different color. It also helped me to notice which colors really looked awesome with my skin tone.

  This is a look for a Summer Night out. The main pallette I used was the East LA pallette from Forever 21. (Less then $10) Although I am get better at applying the makeup looks I don't have the proper brushes to blend and be more precise with the color applications, so I am looking around for brush sets.

Last but not least

Food I've been Cooking!

So I've been enjoying going out to eat these past couple of months but I've also been brushing up on my cooking skills.

If you know me you know that I LOVE SEAFOOD.

I don't eat red meat so I depend on seafood most of the time for meals.

Every once and a while when on sale my mom will pick me up fresh crab and lately shes been making me cook it myself. So I boil it and then sautee it to soften the shell and i always over use butter but i'm still learning.

                        When I make tacos I use Turkey meat instead of beef and I do use store bought seasoning                                       but I like to add lemon to the seasoning just to add a different flavor.

Now if you know me.. you know that I love fried shrimps with white rice and thats my favorite meal.

I also like RedHot which is Lousiana hot sauce its my ultimate favorite hot sauce on this earth.

If you have any recommendations on recipes or food I should try

SO all in all my summer was very quiet yet exciting and I am pleased to have accomplished a few goals.

I wonder what Fall and Winter has in store for me this 2013.. be sure to tune in and keep checking my blog to find out. ~PorchialeanLarkin
