Christmas Lights & Everything Nice

♫ Mazzy Star- In the Kingdom ♫ 

One of my favorite things about the holidays are definitely the Christmas lights and decorations everywhere, everything just looks and feels festive, it gets me in the Christmas spirit! I went to downtown Long Beach to check out the new light bridge and the Christmas lights/decor near the Performing Arts Center. It was truly stunning I loved how it wasn't crowded at all it made for the best pictures without photo bombers in the back haha. 

It was a pretty chilly evening with drizzle so I wore my new Shein sweater, which kept me warm throughout the day, this is another one of my favorite finds from this season. I love how comfortable this knit is but my favorite part has to be the oversized long sleeves, I don't even have to wear gloves lol. Unlike other turtlenecks where you feel like they're choking you, this one has plenty of room to breathe because of the loose fit, making it so much more cozy and comfortable. 

Wearing:

Shein sweater

Levi's black jeans

Old Navy boots

Botkier bag 

Absolutely loved the new bridge!

Happy Holidays lovelies!

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?

Sweater Weather in SoCal

El Nino is here! I have to say I'm really enjoying this rain though, it's been a while!

Quick stop at Sidecar Doughnuts, my fave place for donuts, they're the best!

Loving my new DIY leather wrap choker necklace, so easy to make!

Rain drops and angry clouds

Quickie snaps of these past days! I keep taking out more sweaters and knits from my "winter" storage box since the weather has been really cold and rainy lately, but I can't complain! I missed this weather, especially the rain!

 Sweater weather is here for sure so time to take out those umbrellas and rain boots!

Hope you all are doing great!

I know the holidays are gone, but I still can't help but keep loving this "wintery" mood and winter whites especially when it comes to knits, interior decor and let's not forget the decorative lights...I actually love them year round! And let's face it even though it's not necessarily winter in SoCal it still gets pretty darn chilly at night and there's no better feeling than coming home after a long day and snuggling up while watching movies and drinking hot tea...so in the mean time here's a quickie January winter post.

Hope you guys are enjoying your long weekend! I know I am, can't wait for a little adventure tomorrow! 

Stay tuned for pics :)
