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

We jumped never asking why...

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted on this.

Life has been grand in every which way, trying to balance my time between school life, work life, and my social life. It's a struggle but for the first time in a while, I'm extremely happy with pretty much everything. And that's that. I'm just happy.

I just wanted to post about my lady love bester's 21st birthday that happened over a week ago.
Her birthday basically spanned over a whole weekend and I hope she had a grand time. We've been waiting for both of us to be 21 for almost four years now and I just feel like this is one of the many milestones we'll hit together. I never expected to get a best friend in college but here she is. I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to get through the past three years without her. But enough of the sappy. Smiles.

I got to wear my new favorite dress on her birthday night. A week beforehand, I had treated myself and splurged on some UNIF and I have no regrets. This dress is everything to me and it's even on display in my room. Is that too much?

This last photo is us celebrating at midnight. And it's basically my favorite picture.

Only two posts in October, I know. That's really bad. But the holidays are coming up and I'm stoked.
I'll really try and post more on here because I do miss it when I haven't in a while.

See you soon. xo

And the rest will follow...

Do you know that thing that happens when you love a piece of clothing so much that you basically wear it every day and you never get tired of it?

Well that's the situation happening with this Forever 21 cardigan shawl I bought maybe about a month ago. It's what I wear every day to work and even when I'm not working. I'm serious. Maybe it's because it's black and over-sized, two things I look for in clothing pieces. Love it.

Just thought I'd quickly share this outfit I wore a couple days ago when Veronica and I were out running errands and what not. It's such a comfy cozy outfit, basically my go-to. I've worn it twice this week, but that's supposed to be a secret. Smiles.

P.S. I will post more this month I swear. The end of this month will be a doozy, I can feel it.

Why are you my remedy...

I know I know we're already a week and some into August and this is barely my first post of the month.

It's a pretty special one though because last Friday Veronica and I actually went out and had a fun night in San Jose. She took some awesome pictures on her camera and we had a little shoot in the SoFA district for South First Fridays. It was so great, there were food trucks and galleries and vintage sellers. You may have seen the pictures from our Instagrams.

We went mainly for our friend at BOLO Vintage. Definitely check them out, I linked their Facebook page with their name, click it! I got some really cute stuff I can't wait to style. Smiles.

I apologize for not being on here in a while. A lot of stuff has been going on with work and what not. I have recently been promoted which is amazing news but things are going to be busier. Time managing is going to be hard but I'm looking forward to it. Smiles.
Also I'm getting ready to go to Vegas in a couple weeks to celebrate my momma's birthday which is going to be jammin'. I need a vacation. See you soon babies. x

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.

Ignite the light and let it shine...

It's technically still the 4th and I am still celebrating! I hope you are!

I just wanted to do a quick little post about today. I had a grand old time.

I got to leave work early, I made new friends, had some hot dogs and beers, and watched fireworks from a balcony. Pretty much the best day ever. 

My outfit was pretty simple. I figured I had enough patriotism going on up on my head so I kept the rest a little plain. I was happy I got to wear my American flag hat today even though wearing it today of all days is the most obnoxious thing ever. Today hipsters did their thing in their alternative American flag wear and people toasted to our nation's independence. Always a good time.

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.

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.

Light em up...

I'm finally back lovelies!

I apologize for the massive break I took from blogging. How long has it been, almost a month now? Sheesh. I didn't even know it was happening until I woke up one day and thought I'm totally missing something in my life right now and that was blogging and rambling to you guys. Smiles.

I owe you all some sort of explanation, but it all basically comes down to school. This quarter has blessed me with no exams but it's papers galore which is really stressful. I can't wait to go home this weekend, even though it's only to get my wisdom teeth taken out. But nothing can ruin this weekend, not even wisdom teeth, because Topshop LA is opening this Thursday and I'm super stoked.

So those were some updates for you. Now for the actual post, it's an outfit finally!

I bought this coat a couple weeks ago from Urban Outfitters and it's all I've been wearing, especially at night when it gets really cold here. You may have seen an outfit of the day picture with me wearing it on Instagram. Anyway, I'm in love with it. I love how I can wear it with basically anything and the Zara-esque feel it has. I'm just glad it hasn't been raining a ton here like it usually does during the winter. It's just been nice and sunny and cold.

I picked this spot to take photos since the very nice man behind me told me I'm beautiful. He told everyone else too. Smiles all around.

Also who's been obsessing over NYFW? I know I have.

Look forward to my favorites from NYFW soon. xo
