You make me glow...

This week has been weird. Has this week been weird to you? I don't know. Maybe it's because I spent this last weekend at home and I'm still recovering. I just want it to be the weekend already.

So I basically hung out with my family all weekend and had a grand old time just chilling. I missed home a ton so it was good going back for a little. 

It was nice being back especially because I'm actually staying in Santa Cruz this summer until I graduate next year. Yay! I just found out yesterday that the place that we wanted just approved us and I'm super stoked on that. It's really exciting to actually move into a new place by yourself that's not on campus or your parents' house ya know. I can't wait. Smiles.

Besides being stoked about all about that good stuff, I think just being in a new environment will be good for me. I'll definitely miss a bunch of people from Monrovia but I think meeting new people is great. This might be too much info but I've said worse on this blog before, I mean I think. Save for a few people, my friends suck. I don't know if "friends" is even the right word anymore. I can't wait to see who will actually take the time to visit me over the summer. I can't wait for summer.

But anyway, not going to bring you down. This is a good thing. Smiles.

Oh and I promise to try and blog more often. xo

By the way, no judging, but I'm kind of obsessed with this song. Sang it all weekend with my sister.

I don't care, I love it...

Hello!

I know it's been a while, but I'm still reeling about the Met Ball. They kinda chose the best theme ever don't you think? I was so into a lot of the looks from the event. The Met Gala is so fun because it's basically a fashion show where over-the-top doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. It's great and this was perfect. Here are my top picks of the night. 

Anne Hathaway in vintage Valentino

Okay can we talk about this newly blonde bombshell and how she was absolutely perfect? I love the Debbie Harry-ness of it all and that dress was smokin' hot. She just looked amazing, I was really surprised that she was so into the punk theme this year.

Alexa Chung in Erdem

Not the most punk look out of the bunch but it was her take on punk and I appreciate that. I really love the way this looks on her and she stuck to her own style, which is great.

Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture

I never can decide on pictures of her in a dress because there are always multiple things going on with her dress. This dress is killer but in a soft way just like her. It's a very girly dress but the back and the zipper detail punked it up.

Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney

So best beauty of the night goes to this babe here in my opinion. That makeup was so perfect, and the hair, oh my god. She has a lot of hair but somehow it disappeared and I was like huh? She has great face for this look. I did love the red and the no jewelry at all and the lace detail on the suit but what can you do about Stella and oversized pants? Eh. Very surprised since I half-expected her to come in a super fancy leather jacket and a ripped band shirt. 

Cara Delevingne in Burberry Prorsum

My babe in the spikes. If I can count on anyone to follow this theme correctly it's Cara. Enough said. She looked so punk pretty that I don't even know how she does it. That deep neckline with the perfect necklaces to accent it, just perfection.

Sienna Miller in Burberry Prorsum

My other babe in the spikes. Her outfit was what I was expecting to see a lot of when I first heard about the punk theme. Surprisingly, just my two Brits here decided that spikes and dresses were a good idea. And I thank God for them! I'm completely obsessed with everything about her with this look. It was slightly lazy like she just threw it on and I couldn't handle myself. The dress hung a little messy, her jacket sleeves almost went past her hands, her hair seemed not done but it was all so great. And that spiked headband oof get in, I want. Who knew Burberry could be so punk?

Some updates for you:
- I'm going home this coming weekend and I'm super stoked. I didn't get to hang out with my mom yesterday so I'm excited to see her.
- I apologize for the lack of outfit posts, I haven't had the inspiration recently. It's been hot so I've just been throwing dresses on. If you want to see what I'm up to, hit up my Instagram.
- Just saw the line-up for FYF and I am so down.
- Oh and a pretty little bird wants me to do a Great Gatsby style post. I'm still thinking about it, hopefully I can figure out how to actually do that. Fingers crossed. Smiles.
See you soon. xo

Let 'em wonder...

Okay so April was definitely not a good month of blogging for me.

There was just a lot of school stuff and working a lot and trying to find places to live in June and just gah. It sounds like excuses but I'm physically exhausted. I'm so jealous of the peeps who have finals coming up because at least they will be done with this school year. I'm barely on midterms right now. But enough complaining. I decided to just do a quick post before I get back to work on thesis writing. 

If ya'll don't know a certain blogger Lua Perez from Le Happy then you are missing out. I've mentioned her a few times on here and posted some of her outfits as inspiration because this girl can do no wrong in my opinion and to prove that, I'm going to show you the amazeballs-ness that is her new line for Romwe.

Today she finally debuted her Le Happy x Romwe collaboration and it's great. The pieces she designed were everything that I could imagine her wearing/designing. So many good neutral and versatile pieces that anyone can wear. I can't wait to snag me some. She's just absolutely great, go see for yourself. Here are some of my favorites.

Just let it happen...

So as you may have noticed, festival season is upon us and I am completely jealous of those who get to go to Coachella this year.

I say it every year that I want to go so bad but things just don't work out sometimes. My sister and I are making it our goal this year to go to Outside Lands. Don't get me wrong, I love Coachella, but I feel like it gets way too hyped up. Maybe that's just me being super annoyed that I don't get to go. Anyway.

I made a Coachella/any music festival essentials list for any of you going this weekend or next weekend. I did it to make me feel better, but I think it just made me more jealous. It's all goody though because my time will come. Smiles.

So yeah, here are my what-to-wear tips and what not for festival season.

1. Accessories galore.

2. Pretty skirts.

3. Fun shorts.

4. Great shoes.

Those are my must-haves. Of course you also need some fun tops and flowy bohemian dresses since it's Coachella duh. But you get it. I hope you all found this helpful if you're currently struggling with what to wear this weekend. And if you're not going to the desert like me, that shouldn't stop you from dressing like you are going. Smiles. xo

Our song on the radio...

Happy April babes!
I'm back in Santa Cruz after a great break. Today was the start of spring quarter and I'm still trying to ease back into the school groove. I absolutely loved being home and seeing the people I love and just chillin', it's like the best thing ever.

My last night of break I spent with my fambam and we frolicked around Old Town Pasadena and had some amazeballs pizza over at The Kitchen. I had slept over my beautiful sissy's house the night before which was perfect. I miss her already. You may have seen some pictures on Instagram. Earlier Saturday, we found this empty parking lot and decided to take our outfit pictures there. It was pretty random but super fun. 

Also have you guys been into the monochrome look lately as much as I have? I've been trying to get into the spring colors but I just can't. I love me my black and white.

Give a little time to me...

So I guess I was just kidding about blogging before leaving for spring break.

I had work every day this past week so I didn't have time to post anything but now that I am officially home, I have a fun post for you all.

Of course, the first full day I'm back, where do I go? Yes, Topshop. I swear, actually earning money is difficult for me because I just buy shit and that's not good. I mean it's great but it's not good.

But anyway, yeah I got to run around LA with my fam (in our matching black and white outfits by the way haha) and it was grand.

It's been nice being home. I'm seeing my sis again this weekend so that's going to be fun.
Lately I've been loving just sleeping in and driving around at night with Christine and our shenanigans. I can always count on her to randomly run around Monrovia with me. Smiles.
Hopefully I can get another post in this week before I go back to SC.
