(500) Days of Summer

Summer officailly started on June 20!  YAY!  There are million reasons why I love summer.  I am going to just list a few here:

• I got to see the sun even after a long work day or getting out from the gym at 7pm.
• I got to take my bike out for cruising along the beach
• I got to chill by the pool.
• I got to do some BBQ at our cute patio.
• I got to wear skirt and slippers!

Talking about summer, (500) Days of Summer is my ALL TIME FAVORITE movie!  This is not a love story, this is a story about love.  If you have not got a chance to watch it, you need to watch it this summer.  Besides the story of the movie, I also fall in love with the actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the vintage fashion style of Summer, the music in the movie and of course, appreciating the beauty of Los Angeles.  Mr. G and I even spent a day in Los Angeles to re-discover the gems of the city.  Few weeks ago, my hands got a major itch and wanted to make some cake pops to dedicate for the lovely summer in Southern California and the movie.  I have some left over cake at home (FYI - left over cake is the best for making cake pops), so I decided making some cake pops.  I will make some real cupcake decoration soon for this movie (ideas have been in my brain since last summer), I just need to find the time to do it (need to fight the time with all the wonderful outdoor activities I like to do in summer).

Here are some pictures we took when Mr. G and I pretended we are Summer and Tom in L.A.:

*P.S. I found some amazing engagment pictures of a couple on Pinterest and their theme is (500) Days of Summer for the engagment pictures and the wedding.  Would share with everyone here in our next post!

Jello Art

When I was a little kid, I always thought jello was the most interesting dessert ever.  Why?  Because the jiggly textures makes jello so special and unordinary.  And when I was kid, my mom used to make some colorful jello candies (covered with coconut shred), they were one of the most fun things to eat when you were a kid. 

I would like to share some jello arts I found online with you today (photographs from websites:  Eat Me Daily and South Jersey Real Estate; please visit these two websites for more information).  These "jello artists" took jello to another level - they used jello to create jewelries, food, and EVEN architectures and cities...these artworks just blown my mind away!

Look like a very fancy French dish

American classic - burger and fries

A close up of the "burger" (everything is made with jello)

How about some caviar?

So tropical with the jello pineapple

Ready for BBQ?

Classy! 

If you like fashion and jewelries, how about some vintage style jewelries made from edible materials and jello:

Look like a piece of good jade

Can you tell they are jello from this angle?

An amazing artwork

 My day time job is an Environmental Planner, and I have a thing toward architectures and urban planning/design.  I just love to look at buildings (especially those historical ones=))
