#tbt like last week or so in Seattle. Has been a great 4 months here for work, but just transferred to San Fran to be closer to home. But this leaf though! The leaves just don't change like this on the third coast (Houston) #fallcolors #fall #seattle #washington #nofilter

It only took around 4 months, but my sewing machine & I are finally reunited!! FINALLY finally finishing up these #simplicity pants for the 72-degrees-in-November weather. Long live rayon fabrics 👊#mondays #fancypants #kale #handmade #sewingissexy (at San Diego, California)

Easy peasy feline make-up when you've made no costume plans! #halloween2015 (at Downtown San Diego)

More green stuff. #flowers #SantaBarbara (at State Street, Downtown SB)

No fountains running, signs on lawns stating "gold is the new green" & other messages throughout the city encouraging using less water bc of the drought. Amongst the succulents & parched landscapes there are gorgeous flowers beating the odds. #flowers #SantaBarbara (at State Street, Downtown SB)

Steak picado with refried beans, rice & made-to-order tortillas. So freaking good! This place is also listed in Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants list. #illbeback #nomz #yelp #SantaBarbara (at Los Agaves Restaurant)

I walked 4 miles from the hotel today for this. And more if you count a food detour & lots of window shopping on State St. You betcha I got an Uber back. ☀️#stearnswharf #SantaBarbara (at Stern's Wharf)

"Meet the Producer" #publicmarket #pikest #Seattle (at Pike Place Market)

Fresh CRUMPETS. The Vermont with organic walnuts, ricotta cheese & honey. Slightly crisp on the outside & delectably soft on the inside. The Yelp reviews were on point - Mind. Blown. #nomz #crumpets #Seattle #winning (at The Crumpet Shop)

Tokyo in 3 minutes. #NOM

2 days of rain. 1 day of high winds & overcast skies. Last day was just right. #takemeback #light #sunshine #goldilocks #travel #Meijishrine #TOKYO #travelnoire #dametraveler (at Meiji Shrine)

My mom just got a ribbon at her first Art show for her painting!! I'm a proud daughter!! ☺️😁👏 #painting #acrylic #artshow #prouddaughter #yougogirl (at Kingwood)

Usually not the biggest Ramen fan, but this miso broth was soooo good. Flavored egg + extra nori (seaweed) sheets on the side for good measure. 😋🍜👊 #Harajuku #ramen #nom #foodporn #TOKYO (at Harajuku Station)

One of the few cherry blossom trees we found still in bloom! 😍😁👊🌸🌸🌸 #YASS #happydance #cherryblossoms #Meguro #TOKYO (at 目黒雅叙園　Meguro Gajoen)

So about a week ago, cherry blossoms were blooming along this Meguro river 😔😭🌸🌸 #late #cherryblossoms #meguroriver #TOKYO
