April Lately

♫ Melody's Echo Chamber- Breathe In, Breathe Out ♫ 

PCH cruisin', favorite view!

Never gets old. 

Live beach concerts at HB. 

Tio's Tacos... love this eccentric/quirky Mexican joint in Riverside. 

Golden hour. 

Pearl's tea, love their pink rosebud milk tea!

Cotton candy skies. 

Cutest sight.

Cafe Cabinet, try their honey oat iced latte!

Lido Marina Village

Can't get enough of rose milk teas lately, they're so smooth and yummy...especially this one from Hojas Tea House in LBC.

I've been all over the place this month, I have to admit it's been a bit stressful, I feel like it just flew by but I'm actually ready for May! Excited for what this month has in store!

Happy weekend :)

August Vibes

linen, cotton, stripes, and 50 shades of blue!

Buskerfest music event in DTLB

Under the Sun Vegan restaurant in Long Beach...sooo many healthy and delish options. 

I'm not vegan but I like to eat healthy once in a while ;)

Farmer's Market Wednesdays in LBC...these grapes were so juicy and yummy!

When life gives you lemons....

Happy Hour fish tacos with good company :)

Morning light and thrifted straw bags

Ran into a cute coffee shop in Newport Beach: Vacancy Coffee Bar

Their shop is most definitely going for that minimal vibe but it's aesthetically pleasing!

Another of my fave cafes in downtown LBC: Recreational Coffee

Try their sea salt affogato and espresso shake...to die for!

Morning selfies :) 

Started using Ouai's ondulation hair spray for lazy waves I mix it up with Lush's R&B hair moisturizer and loving the results so far...plus they both smell so good!

But first...coffee!

Coffee Nature

Artsy mood with my nephew Lukas!

Brot Coffee is a new fave of mine in the OC area! They recently just opened, go check it out.

Back Home

♫ Kurt Vile- Wakin on a Pretty Day ♫ 

(F21 dress, Vintage straw bag, Madewell sandals, UO sunnies)

Hey guys!

I finally made it home but I'm still a bit jet lagged! :/  It feels so nice to be home but I also miss exploring France...so bittersweet!

Fortunately, I was able to catch up with my peeps today and enjoy the day, summer is definitely here and I couldn't be more excited!

Anyways I still have to sort through all the pictures from my trip so it will be a while until I post those up. In the mean time I'll try to share more recent pictures but honestly all I want to do is catch up on sleep haha I swear I've been so lazy lately but I'll eventually post them! :)

BTW so excited because 4th of July is right around the corner, not sure what I'm doing yet but that's always a fun day to BBQ and catch up with friends and family so I'm definitely looking forward to it!

Stopping by one of my fave curated shops in DTLB: Make Collectives

Morning cuddles with this cute fluffers, missed him so much!

Hello lovelies!

I hope you guys enjoyed your weekend, it's been a rainy couple days here in SoCal lately but I'm not complaining we were in dire need of rain especially since the drought. Can't wait for spring's lush greenery!

Here is a random compilation of the these last couple of days, it's still chilly here so that means coffee house after coffee house with friends and good company...we just can't get enough haha, plus you can never go wrong with coffee and good company or in my case sometimes...matcha. 

More pictures coming your way from yesterday's adventure in Newport Beach, stay tuned! :)
