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

You make it hard to leave...

We're a couple days in but happy March my dears!
Just wanted to show you the adventure I had this past weekend in the Bay with the man. We love exploring and we finally had the time to show me all of his favorite places (or most of his favorite places) up here. We took the BART around and stopped for lunch, then did some shopping in Berkeley, then had dinner and drinks in Rockridge which was beautiful. Such a great time even though it was a little rainy. I thought I would share the outfit I wore and some snaps of the day. Can't wait for other shenanigans.

As you may have noticed recently, I've only been blogging outfit posts when I go to new places or really feel like doing an outfit post. If you want to see my everyday wear and stuffs, that's all on my Instagram. I've just been feeling a little bit overwhelmed by everything, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I have great people surrounding me, my sister and parents surprised me here in Santa Cruz the weekend before and it was incredible. I hadn't realized how much I actually missed them. I'm also graduating in the spring, which is simultaneously terrifying and exciting. The man and the besters continue to make me smile and laugh everyday. Work is going great, it's tough sometimes, to make everyone happy, but it's aces most of the time. I manage some awesome gals who have become my friends so it's wonderful.
I guess all I'm trying to say is that I am somewhat tired (both physically and mentally) with school stuff and work stuff and trying to divide my time with the people I love, but it's all good because I'm enjoying my life and I can honestly say that I am happy.
Yes I know I cannot articulate myself very well because it took forever and a day for me to say what I wanted to say. But anyway, so that's that. Smiles.

The end of this month is my spring break and I'm so excited to be going to LA for a handful of days with the man to show him around. It's going to be good. Also I miss LA weather.

In some velvet morning...

I apologize for not having any Valentine-y outfits for you and also not even getting any pictures from my wonderful night out with the man on Valentine's Day but I hope everyone had a great weekend. I know I did. I just hate that I have to go back to reality, especially since school is kinda kicking my ass at the moment. But anyway, enough about that.

So I actually have never done one of these before so I thought why the hell not? It's a "What's In My Bag" post. Maybe it's because it makes more sense when it's on a YouTube video, but I never thought about doing one of these.
I recently posted a photo on Instagram of what's in my bag regularly and it got a good amount of likes (for me anyway) so I decided to just put it on here as a quick little post for you guys.

Fortunately I can tell you where I got most of these things:
1. Gold sunnies - Sway Chic
2. Black sunnies - Le Specs
3. Psssst! dry shampoo - Ulta
4. UNIF beanie
5. Tarte lipstick and EOS lip balm - Ulta

Because it's simple darling...

Yes it's almost the middle of the month and I've not been living up to what I promised. Time has been very precious lately so the moments when I actually have some, I just want to spend time with the people I love. With that, midterms, work and New York Fashion happening, I've been in a little bit of a busy pickle.
But anyway, with that being said, I've decided to do a post on the best weekend I have had in a while. The man and I finally had some days off to hang out so yesterday we took a day trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and had a grand old time. It was just nice being in a different city and exploring and what not.

It had been raining so the outfit I wore was pretty casual and functional. I felt super collegiate in this adorable crochet detailed top so I had to toughen it up a little with the jacket.

Sorry about the picture spam, but I'm not really. Smiles.
I had such an amazing couple of days and I can't wait for more. I even went thrifting a little bit today, which I haven't done in so long. I found some cute spring things I'm stoked to show you.
This month started off so great and I have a feeling it's going to get better. Also who's excited at all of the Fashion Week stuffs? I know I am. I plan on having a round up of my faves soon on here.
Love you babes.

You know we're on each other's team...

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.

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

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.

One way or another...

As you all may know, I went home last weekend and got my wisdom teeth removed which was pretty sucky but I had to look on the bright side. I got to go home and see my fambam and Christine, who also went home that weekend. Along with that I also went to the Grove in LA to pay the lovely Topshop a visit, which had just opened on the 14th. Basically the perfect Valentine's Day gift. And it was grand. I kinda went banana sandwich in there. I'm obsessed, I can't wait to go back again. They had cat shopping bags. I mean, it can't get any better than that.

I apologize for the lack of face. I was hiding my chipmunk cheeks. But today, I am officially all better now. I got my stitches out and I'm jammin'. Smiles.
See you all soon for my LFW faves!
