Hey guys!

I can't believe how quick this weekend flew by!

I just edited last weekend's pictures from my Redondo Beach outing...I know so late! I've been so busy these last couple of days though... but I'm hanging in there :) I needed to wind down so naturally I drove to the beach, and what better place to relax than there.  It had been a while since I went to South Bay but it was nice to be back and soak in the sun, btw this is probably one of my favorite piers from any SoCal beach, love the design!

Lately we've been having a very summery spring so I opted for a comfy casual look. A flowy blouse, classic denim shorts, my fave sneakers, and this Rebecca Minkoff denim patched-up backpack. This backpack is just the cutest, it took me back to the late 90's and early 2000's with all the patches and washed out denim style. I remember I used to patch up my bags and backpacks back in high school so no doubt this backpack will be my new favorite! I love all the California inspired patches, the different compartments, the zippers, and how lightweight it is, plus it's so youthful and versatile! I can't wait to wear this backpack to music festivals, road trips, and other random travels. 

Thanks to Rebecca Minkoff and her team for this backpack love it!

Pitaya Bowl Date

♫ The Kooks- Sweet Emotion ♫

(Wearing: F21 sunnies, Heavenly Couture straw hat, Pura Vida bracelets, DIY choker, Brandy Melville top, H&M leggings, Superga cotu sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff bag)

 This particular day was a random day of the week so I opted for a chic casual look, the weather has been pretty gloomy lately due to June gloom, but still pretty bright out so a hat and sunscreen is necessary. I ventured out to walk around downtown Long Beach and explore my city so leggings and my comfy Superga sneakers were a must. 

I made sure to stop by one of my favorite juice bars: Tru Nature Juice Bar to get my pitaya bowl fix,  I'm a big fan of acai bowls but lately I've been digging pitaya bowls more and this one did not disappoint. The one I got was called the "Pink Flamingo" and it was made with blended coconut water/pineapple, and topped off with strawberries, bananas, chocolate bits, granola, and coconut flakes...bomb.com! ;)

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

My Sun Is Your Sun

(Wearing: ZARA trf romper, H&M sandals, Rebecca Minkoff bag)

Hey all!

Here's something I wore a couple weekends ago that I forgot to post up. This was during our scorching heat wave in LA, but now that I recall, almost every evening during that heat wave we experienced the most AMAZING sunsets....nothing beats a Cali sunset ;)

BTW if you noticed my post title it's actually a chorus lyric by the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Despair" song, thanks to my sister who sent me this song I can't stop listening to it, Karen O and her rad style makes her the coolest chick ever! 

Check out the vid for this song, it's truly great!  I can really feel the NYC vibe which makes me miss it even more. :)

Hey all!

I just stumbled across Rebecca Minkoff's Resort 2014 collection, and these are some of my favorite looks.  I love how she incorporated muted tones with bright colors and clashing prints, stripes, zippers, structured jackets paired with dresses, and c'mon we can't forget the shoes and BAGS! :)
