Love is too happy to bring me down...

Hi lovelies!

I finally have time to post on here about my spring break I had in LA with the man and the fam. 

I'm still currently on spring break at the moment and I'm pretty much just resting now. I have my last quarter before I graduate at UC Santa Cruz starting next week and I'm pretty stoked on that.

So I haven't formally introduced the man on here yet, but you may have seen him a bit in the past couple of posts. The man is Daniel and he's pretty much my favorite. He's been the man for a while now and thinking about that makes me incredibly happy. But enough sappy.

We left for LA last Thursday and right when we got there it was just one thing after another, doing as much as we can, seeing as many people as we can, and then all of a sudden it was over. It was amazingly tiring and awesome at the same time. While we were there, we pretty much just ate food and went shopping and that was fine by us. It was very good to have him in my hometown and show him around and what not. This picture spam coming at you was our last full day in LA. We hung out with my fam at the Fairfax flea market and the Grove. It was great being in the LA sun.

A lot of things are going to be happening in the near future so hopefully I will be updating on all of that. As for now, I am scared and excited about what is to come and happy about everything that is happening now.
See you soon. Smiles. xox

Happy late Christmas babies!

I'm back in Santa Cruz after a great week at home. I actually didn't know I was getting back so soon after Christmas but I think I might be back next week anyway. Also I surprised the boss man today at work and I feel like it really made his day and yeah I'm a happy girl. Smiles.

If you have followed me for a while, you know my fam and I celebrate together on Christmas Eve. And it was awesome. I'm really into the plaid trend thing right now so when I saw this skort at work, I knew I had to wear it on Christmas. It was kinda perfect.

With work and what not, maybe I'll see you guys in the new year, maybe sooner. I don't know but I hope you all have an amazing end to 2013! Love yous.

I just started living...

So I know I said I was going to post an outfit before I left for LA but I didn't so I'm sorry about that. Everything was so hectic when we were leaving. I just wanted to spend time with certain people and finish shopping and what not up in Santa Cruz. But anyway.

I just got back to my parents' house from hanging out at my sister's all weekend and of course I had a grand time. We got the traditions done like watching Little Women and taking a Christmas tree picture at the Grove. It was a little short for me but sweet all the same. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my adventures.

As far as my outfit goes, I felt so Christmas-y with the red plaid pants and the fur. But it was a good thing. Also my shoes are a new addition to my collection thanks to the boss man and they're basically perfect. He's a good listener. Smiles.

I'll see you all soon! xo

So excited for Christmas!

And time is frozen...

I'm back in Santa Cruz after the blur that was my holiday.

My Thanksgiving was really short and sweet. I had a couple days to see my favorite people and it was all I needed. My parents drove me back and they are currently still here enjoying Santa Cruz.

I'm surprised I even have the time to post since I'm working this whole weekend. I worked yesterday, yes I worked Black Friday. Not something to be desired. 

But anyway, here are some snaps of what I wore on Thanksgiving.

I saw this dress at work about two months ago and I knew I wanted to wear it on Thanksgiving. I'm really digging dark florals for the holiday season and this was kinda perfect.
I was really bummed out when I thought I wasn't going to get to come home this year, but it all worked out. So it's a happy story. Smiles.

Just hold on we're going home...

I know I know! It's been like a week since I've posted which is really bad.

I mean I was home so I was rarely near a computer, I was going out every night and spending time with people. I got back to Santa Cruz on Sunday and then worked for the next couple of days and then hung out with more amazeballs people that I missed. I was in my own little world with them. To be honest, I'm really happy, which is new for me if you didn't know. You guys who have been reading for a while know that when post something personal on this it's a big deal, and it's usually about problems in my life. But this time it's not so be happy that I'm happy.

Anyway enough with the excuses. I have also missed you amazeballs peeps so I thought I would have a little chat with you before my first class as a senior which is really scary to think about but I kinda stoked on it.

My sissy bear turned 28 this past Saturday and I already miss that lady. I spent the whole day with her and our bam fam and also Veronica since we were lucky enough to still have her in town. And I also spent the night at her house which was super fun. We were in one of my favorite places ever, Pasadena, and we just had a grand old time. Smiles.

I'll update you more on the past week or so when I get more time. Wish me luck on my first day!

Also you will get the rest of the Fashion Week stuffs soon too.

We crave a different kind of buzz...

More Vegas stuff for ya!

This was what I wore later on in the night after all the hardcore shopping we did earlier in the day. We got all dolled up for my momma's birthday and had an awesome dinner at the Paris Hotel and saw a show there.

It's unfortunate that I didn't get more photos of my outfit but we worked with what we got. The dress I wore has this amazing lace panel that spans my entire back and it's amazeballs.

I miss Vegas so much.

Anyway so we're almost done with this Vegas thing, don't worry. I got some fun New York Fashion Week stuff coming soon and a recent outfit post from this last Friday in San Jose. 

Another thing, I'm going home for a couple days next week and I'm going to have a ball. Smiles.

Also in honor of today, we'll never forget. RIP to the victims of 9/11.

And we won't stop...

Here's the second part of the Vegas extravaganza!

This day was my mother's actual birthday so we made a whole day of it. We had brunch at the Bellagio and shopped til we dropped over at Fashion Show mall, especially since Topshop was there. The malls in Vegas are literally theme parks. You can't see everything in only one day. That night we had a lovely dinner before we went and saw a show at the Paris Hotel which I may or may not blog about, I'm not quite sure yet.
This top is kinda one of my favorites right now, I can wear it with anything. Everything DimePiece is just incredible and I can't wait to add more to my closet. The denim skirt was one of the things I picked up from Bolo Vintage in San Jose about a month ago. It's so easy to wear. This outfit kept me pretty cool, especially since it was hot as balls in Vegas.

The third part of our Vegas trip will be up soon! Sorry it's taking me a while.
Also a couple things:
Yes, I will be doing a New York Fashion Week post after the Vegas shenanigans.
Tonight is First Friday in San Jose again and Veronica and I will be going. Expect a post from that soon.
Hope yous are having a great September so far. xo

Just let me liberate you...

Okay I know I said I was going to post something while I was home last week but it kinda got a little too busy and hectic and all that jazz.

The first couple of days being in Monrovia were pretty awesome. I got to see so many people I haven't seen in such a long time it was surprisingly really great. Then I left for Vegas with my family for my momma's 60th birthday and we all had a blasty blast.
I thought I would start with our first night there. We got there and it was raining! But of course it was still hot as balls. Good thing it cleared up by the time we went out to dinner. We had a wonderful dinner at the Barrymore in old Vegas and then had copious amounts of drinks at the Cosmopolitan. Of course after that we gambled. Smiles.
Now I don't really have any proper photos of my outfit but I do have some great photos from that night taken by my cool brother-in-law George. He basically was the photographer the entire trip and he got some great shots.

I'll post about the other nights soon!
Love you babes. xox

Here we go back...

Another outfit post what? I know. I surprised myself too.

We went to Santa Monica yesterday for my dear ol' dad's birthday celebrations and it was awesome. We shopped and walked and ate lots of food. I was kinda bummed that it was overcast when we were there, I mean I came home to have some nice sun. Every effing time I'm home, it's gross and murky, but hot, so it's a little worse. But despite that, we had a grand time. And my dad was happy.

As you can see, since my last post was only a few days ago, I'm trying to post more. More outfits, specifically. I want to show you guys what I wear every day even if it's just for work or whatever. If I don't get it on Instagram, hopefully it'll be on here. I'm kinda bummed to be going back to Santa Cruz because there's never enough time for anything but I'm also relieved. I get to be in my cozy apartment and go to work. Also it's never too hot up north so it's pretty swell.

I'm so in the mood for big changes. Lately, I've been feeling a little out of it, like I don't know exactly what I'm feeling. Stuff is happening in da personal life and I can't deal with it at the moment. As I have said before, this isn't really a personal blog so I'll shut up. But if you are interested, follow my Tumblr and Twitter for quick updates on life and thoughts. The links are always at the end of my posts. Smiles.

It's a long drive, and it's summer...

I'm back in good old Monrovia!

It's a nice break to have since I've just been working my summer away. I mean we're already in the middle of July, when did that happen? So anyway, I'm here for a couple of days to just chill and of course to celebrate my dear dad's birthday which is tomorrow. Happy times.

I don't know how much I'll be blogging this weekend so check out my Instagram to see what I'm up to. All of my info is at the end of each of my posts.

So here is what I wore today. I realize I post outfits a lot when I'm somewhere I haven't been to in a while. Just a random thought. Basically I hung out with the bam fam all day and then had dinner in Pasadena which was pretty cool. It was a pretty comfy cozy outfit. 

ASOS CROP TOP/ VINTAGE PANTS/ SUPERGA PLATFORMS/ ASSORTED JEWELRY/ LIMECRIME VELVETINES IN RED VELVET

I absolutely love these pants. You know me and velvet. They're just super soft and actually thin enough that I was pretty cool and breezy when I was wearing them. It's definitely not the time for velvet but they worked great. As for my shoes, it was a struggle but I finally got them and I'm so happy. I knew I wanted a pair of creepers but I wasn't really sold on the big fat creepers that everyone has already. I found the Superga platforms and they are the best thing ever. I also want to give my poor Keds a break. They are so busted and I've only had them for a year. Anyway.

See you soon. xo

The one that I love under the sun...

Well I had a great weekend!

So I finished with school and finals last Thursday but I didn't get a break until yesterday since I had to move into my new apartment and then go to work, and then my parents and my sister came to visit the whole weekend  for Father's Day. We basically had a ball. They left yesterday and I was a sad puppy. It was so great being with them, I had the best weekend, to be quite honest. 

VINTAGE DRESS/ DIY DENIM JACKET/ JEFFREY CAMPBELL BOOTS/ VINTAGE DOONEY

I love the dress I wore for lunch on Father's Day. I got it from my favorite thrift store a couple months ago and I totally forgot about it until I moved and found all these clothes I never wear. It was pretty exciting. 

I'm not going to get to see my family for a while so that bummed me out but it's all good. Keeping busy will make the time go by faster. I actually don't know when I will be seeing them next, so it might be sooner than I think. Hopefully.
