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!

Pow Wow Street Art

♫ We Were Evergreen- Be Like You ♫ 

(Wearing: LC crochet top, ZARA culottes, Madewell sandals)

As you guys know I love playing tourist in my hometown, there's nothing better than exploring new places and new art work in the neighborhood. This time around  Pow Wow art murals are completed in Long Beach and I couldn't help but go for a stroll in the East Arts Village to hunt out these art masterpieces! Pow Wow is a week long art event that started in Hawaii and has expanded into a global network, including in Long Beach. 'Pow' stands for the impact the art has on the viewer and 'Wow' stands for the reaction the art has on the viewer. Pow Wow is also a Native American term describing a celebration of  music, art, and culture. Every year artists from all over the world get together to create beautiful artwork all over cities throughout the nation in the most random places including:  parks, businesses, the side of apartment buildings, and even underneath bridges! I've only seen a couple around LBC but I'm hoping to seek the rest throughout the summer!

The three art murals above are by:

1. Cinta Vidal- "Backstage"

2. Hitotzuki

3. Ernest Zacharevic

Too bad I didn't get the name for the last two art murals :/
