Hey guys!

Here's a random compilation of some of the pics from this month so far. 

Earlier today, I worked on a fun photoshoot with Marloe tote bags which I can't wait to share more about soon. If you've never heard about Marloe, it's a Long Beach/LA based handbag company that makes the cutest minimal totes, backpacks, and bags! I seriously can't get enough of their bags, especially the cognac leather tote I've been repeatedly sporting around, it's just so cute and versatile! I also love the fact that the company is based in my hometown, Long Beach, it's always great supporting small local businesses.

Verve Coffee Roasters in downtown LA, love that location!

One of my fave coffee shops in LA, their decor and coffee is too good!

Vanilla almond lattes...sooo smooth!

Long Beach Patchwork Market 

Cute sweatshirts!

I need that 'road trip' tee!

Bus filled with goodies!

I hope you guys are enjoying your week so far! 

I will be leaving for Arizona tomorrow for a couple days for my birthday, if you would like to follow along my adventures feel free to do so via my Instagram and IG stories. 

Stay tuned for more updates and pictures soon!

Thanks for following along :)

Cheers!

This past weekend mostly consisted of doing absolutely nothing, well besides laundry and cleaning haha... mostly a lazy weekend. I love having some time off once in a while though to get myself together and organize my life :P However, I made sure to go out to try this new coffee shop saved in my IG tab for a while called Little Ripper Coffee, have you guys ever been? It's  a cute cafe nestled in  Glassell Park, I tried their most popular drink aka the lavender almond latte...it was so smooth and delicious..and a major plus is the cute lavender stem they add on the drink. I love lavender anything so this was probably one of the yummiest lavender drinks I've had in a while. I also tried their vegan sea salt chocolate chip cookie and it was oh so heavenly! I'm definitely planning a trip back again :)

What's your favorite coffee shop? Do you guys recommend any?

I'm already thinking of my next weekend adventure, so crossing my fingers it comes together...can't wait so stay tuned! :)

Happy week lovelies!

San Francisco Summer

♫ Crystal Fighters- Lay Low ♫ 

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a fun long weekend!

I just got back from my NorCal trip, we ended up going to San Francisco, Muir Woods, and Santa Cruz. It was about 2 or 3 years since I had gone back to the Bay area so here are the first set of pictures from SF. You guys won't believe how hot it was out there though, the past summers I've been it's always in the low 60s with fog and rain, which is the typical weather out there anyways.  However,  this time around there was a major heat wave which is so unlikely for a summer in SF, I was expecting chilly weather but good thing I packed summery clothes too..truly saved me! Besides the heat wave, we had a great time though! We walked around Fisherman's Wharf, cooled down with iced mint mojito coffees, walked around the Embarcadero, went to Alamo Square to chill at the park, and afterwards we just drove around the city before heading out to Muir Woods for a hike.

I always love coming back to SF I'll just make sure to come back when it's not 100 degrees haha. Can't wait to come back sometime again though, I just love this city!

More pictures coming soon :)

Had to get Philz Coffee's Iced mint mojito coffee...so refreshing and one of my faves!
