Hello November

♫ Michael Nau- Wonder ♫

Wearing:

F21 knit cardigan (old)

DL1961 jeans

Marloe tote bag

Isabel Marant boots

UO sunglasses

November is finally here! I'm so excited for what this month has in store, besides my birthday and Thanksgiving haha, I will be going on a road trip soon which I'm super excited about!

This month has started off with crisp gloomy weather, which I love! This day I opted for a cozy knit burgundy cardigan, a basic tee, jeans, and my go-to ankle boots for a cozy casual look running around town on a busy day. I also went to lunch with my sissy to a cute cafe in downtown LB called Cuppa Cuppa. We had delicious avo toast and churro lattes ....no better way to start the month if you ask me!

PS- I binge-watched all of Stranger Things' 2nd season last weekend!....mind blown for sure! What did you guys think of it? I'm already waiting for season 3 lol :)

Do you guys have any fun plans for this month?

Bar III tee

O'Neill culottes

Isabel Marant boots

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!

Take it Easy

♫ Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers- Learning to Fly ♫

Hey guys!

This past weekend it finally felt nice to relax, I went out to Huntington Beach with my sister to enjoy some time off and catch up.

I opted for this faded Olive linen dress that I got at F21 ages ago, it's so versatile and perfect for any time of the year! I paired it my favorite boots, these taupe suede Sam Edelman boots are the comfiest shoes I own. The boots seem to match the dress in these pictures haha, for some reason they seem to be exactly the same color of my dress..not exactly the case in person...must've been the lighting.

Kept the look pretty minimal and not too overdone I just threw on a black oversized cardigan for those chilly evenings.

On an unrelated note, I can't believe what has happened in Las Vegas, I will never understand the pain they're going through, but I'm sending prayers and my deepest condolences to everyone affected out there. It saddens me to see so much violence and hate going on not just in Las Vegas but all over the world...when will it end?

Sometimes we take life for granted...including me...but I'm learning to take it easy and take some time off from the craziness of life to enjoy and cherish every single moment spent with loved ones, which is honestly what really matters.

F21 Olive linen dress (old)

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!

Abbot Kinney Vibes

♫ Matt Costa- Good Times ♫

Wearing:

Shein fringe kimono

Crossroads Trading Co top

Anneise rope necklace

UO sunnies

F21 lounge pants

Madewell sandals

Thrifted straw bag

Although overrated I still love playing tourist in Abbot Kinney. This is probably one of my favorite spots to chill at whenever I'm in Venice Beach, I just love exploring all the little hidden gems and art street murals around Abbot Kinney. There is so much art, diversity, and some of the best restaurants, concept stores, and cafes around there. You may even be lucky and bump into a couple celebs or bloggers while there, I always happen to recognize someone or spot some fashion bloggers since I guess it's always "happening" in Abbot Kinney haha.

Some of my favorite stops in Abbot Kinney are BURRO, Gjelina, The Butcher's Daughter, Tumbleweed and Dandelion, Shuhari Matcha Cafe, and a bunch of other concept stores! It's so hard not to get lost in my own little world while window shopping and browsing through all the cute shops there!

Which ones are your fave?
