Hermes Halter Top DIY, Ice Cream & Grapefruit Gelee

My past weekend started last Wednesday. I had dinner with friends, Happy-Hour drinks, more dinner, shop all day with BFF from Northern Cal and ended the weekend going to a jazz club with BF and eating way to much sweet. I had dessert almost every night. Yikes!Anyway, I love to use scarf as a bright accent for simple outfits. Of course after learning how to turn a silk scarf into a halter top, I try to come up with different ways to wear this look. Since I didn't want to go backless and showing off my bare abdomen the other day, I decided to layer a white thin cami under the DIY silk halter. The end result was causal and stylish. I got so many positive comments from various gals throughout the day.


What I am Wearing:

DIY halter top with Hermes scarf --- Any 36 inch square silk scarf will suffice (click here to learn how to)
Seven jeans
Ann Taylor white cami
Pink Chanel heels
These are the reasons I can't show off my bare abdomen anymore. I think all the calories went through from my mouth to my stomach and ass. Why does this always happen? I don't regret having Coldstone ice cream and the super luxurious grapefruit gelee (jelly). At the bottom of the gelee cup, I found the most delicious creamy custard. I love to visit Cafe Blanc whenever I am in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area. Savvy guys and gals, if you are in the area, this is a great place to visit for handmade gelato, desserts and divine macrons.
For my indulgence last week, I will be paying in running and exercising time. It is so much easier eating than exercising. Darn it!

Those desserts look so good. My family have been complaining that I've been making too many desserts lately...my sister has been eating them with gusto but then telling me not to bake anymore (for now) or she'll get fat haha!
