Indian Summer in Full Effect

♫ Louis the Child, K. Flay- It's Strange ♫

(Wearing: Cotton On straw hat, Ray Ban shades, Anneise tassel choker, Make Collectives scarf, Bar III tee, LF shorts, Old Navy sandals, Marloe tote bag)

Soooo yeahhh I guess this Indian summer has taken a full effect this week and maybe for the next coming days or the rest of October. I always get excited when it's officially fall on the calendar but I guess I always forget about the Indian summer right after our actual summer haha. The temps have risen up to triple digits and all I can still think about are cozy knits, pumpkin spice lattes, and fall layers. I guess denim cut-offs, sandals, hats, and shades aren't getting stocked away anytime soon. Today I opted for a basic gray tee, some comfy denim cut-offs, and flat sandals for sushi at the park and the farmer's market at the Marina. I guess part of me will miss days like these once "winter" hits off...or will I ? :)

Vitality and Verve Exhibit in 3D

♫ Tiger Love- Space in Space ♫ 

I'm naturally an art junkie so you can imagine how excited I was to finally check out the Vitality and Verve 3D exhibit at the Long Beach Museum of Art  ....and it was definitely worth it! Besides just looking at boring old art paintings this exhibit lets you experience and immerse yourself in the art by entering different rooms and experiencing the art on another level. 3D sculptures and installations were seen and music was played in different room exhibits too. It was so hard to choose my favorite installation or art piece but I couldn't stop taking pictures of the beautiful paper cranes hanging from the ceiling...so I guess those were definitely one of my faves along with the other exhibits. If you guys get a chance to stop by the LBMA I highly suggest you check out Vitality and Verve, here are the participating talented artists and the exhibit goes on until October 16th!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend! :)

Random happenings within the last two weeks, the weather has been a bit weird lately but at least I'm glad we got like two random days of drizzle and rain! God knows we needed it even if it was just for a couple minutes haha. 

Stay tuned for more pictures of my trip to the Long Beach Museum of Art and the cool art exhibits I captured! :)
