See I'm not afraid no more...

So I'm a little late on showing you guys my birthday shenanigans, but my birthday literally lasted for days. I went home to my parents' house to celebrate and I had an amazing chill time. My senior class president from high school also planned a small reunion for the 2010 class and we all went banana sandwich catching up and what not. It was great and weird and everything I expected from my high school peeps. Then I got back to Santa Cruz and was greeted by more birthday surprises and it was amazing. I love my people. Smiles.

I start class this week so it might be a while before I post again. However it is one of my New Year's resolutions to post more outfits for you all either on the blog or on Instagram or both.

2014 had a little bit of a rocky start so another resolution of mine is to focus on the things that make me happy because I've noticed that it's very easy for me to throw a pity party whenever I feel like it and I don't want to do that anymore. Some great changes happened in 2013 and I plan on having more great changes in my life this year.

Oh and this song makes me happy. See if it makes you happy too. Smiles.

So I turned 21 yesterday!

On New Year's I celebrated with my sister and parents in LA and we had lunch at Tart which was delish. On my actual birthday, I hung out with my parents and then went out for drinks with a couple people in Pasadena. Fun stuff. Smiles.

I feel like I've been celebrating every day. I might as well live it up I guess since I'm going back to Santa Cruz pretty soon. I do miss that place but it's nice being around family and old friends.

But anyway, I got these amazing boots from my family. They know me so well. So thankful.

Hope you guys are having a good week! xo

Watch me as I glide...

It's that time of year again, everyone! 

It's the time when we look back at the memories we've made this past year, whether it's the adventures or the mistakes, and we wipe that clean and start over. Smiles.

2012 was pretty good for me, unexpected but pretty good. I always say unexpected is a good thing. If everything was predictable, we'd lead boring lives and that's not fun. So I hope 2012 was good for you guys too. Here are my favorite moments.

May 2013 be even better. xo

This time I'm not leaving without you...

A new year means another birthday.

Today, I turned 20 years old. Yes, I get it, it's not that special. It's kind of the limbo in ages. But hot damn people, it's only boring if you let it. So I won't let it. I swear this year will be one of the greatest amazeballs years ever. I already had a good start. More pictures of the day to come.

Today I celebrated with my family with lunch (and a super cute waiter) at one of my favorite places Mexicali in Studio City, bowling at Pinz, which I haven't played in forever but it was still super fun, and finally we went to go see Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol at the Arclight, which was surprisingly very good. I am now at my sister's house just enjoying some downtime and In-N-Out.

My outfit today made me feel very much like Rumi Neely from Fashiontoast. I think we have the same skirt. I felt kinda formal all day too because of the heels and tights, but it was my birthday. It was also weirdly hot today too. Big change compared to last year, when it was raining cats and dogs.

All in all, I had a great day. Tomorrow I will be celebrating my birthday for a third time, this time with my sister and cousins. Last week I had a little something with my friends which I haven't posted about yet but I'm getting there.

Also, just to let you guys know, there won't be an Inspiration Wednesday this week or next week because I'm just trying to get as many posts in as I can before I go back to Santa Cruz. Once I get back to a regular schedule, I will start again. Don't worry. Smiles.

Shake it out...

So I have about an hour until 2012 gets here so I'll hurry it up.

I just wanted to say that 2011 wasn't exactly what I would have hoped it would be. I think I pretty much summed it up on Twitter when I said that the theme of 2011 for me was that sometimes, things don't always go as planned, even though you plan out every detail. But that's what a new year is all about. It's time to say goodbye to mistakes and welcome in some new mistakes. But that's life, and we still love it.

Though it wasn't what I expected, there were still some great adventures. I'll leave you with some of my favorite moments of this year. Smiles.

You're a firework...

Happy New Year to all!

Now I usually don't blog two days in a row, but the months of January and December require me to sometimes because there are too many special occasions that happen.

Last night was 2010. And today is 2011.

2010 was such a great year for me, I can't even explain it.

I spent the last hours of 2010 with the man and In-N-Out and my parents jumping up and down in my living room and laying down in the middle of the street with my baby à la Noah and Allie in The Notebook.

I hope everyone had a great New Year. I know I did.And my 19th birthday is tomorrow. Smiles.

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

I just wanted to tell all of you about my amazing two days.

First of all, my 19th birthday party was two nights ago at the Andy man's house and I had a great time. It was a more grown up party compared to my 18th and I loved it. I was very much like Blair Waldorf at her 20th birthday party. A couple people were missing but it was a wonderful night. The bester Rosee Rose took some amazing pictures of the night. I just wish she was in at least one of them.

Gossip Girl (Episode 7) "War at the Roses"

Second of all, yesterday Rosee Rose took some pretty amazing pictures of the The Lesser Panda in good old Monrovia. I will post those soon, once I get them. I'm excited.

After that, us and a couple other people had dinner in LA in the art district at Wurstküche, which was yummy. I loved everything I had there, even Jeff's rattlesnake and rabbit sausage. We took more pictures and had a fun night. It made me want to stay in Monrovia longer than I'm going to.

So this is the new year...

The first day of 2010 was a great one.

I celebrated my 18th birthday with the family in Burbank.

I got some presents from the sister and the Geo.

Yay Glee.


A fur vest. A fashion staple.


We watched Nine which was amazing and ate at Market City Cafe where we found that the breadsticks there were hella yum.

My birthday is in about thirty minutes. So I'm going to spend the last minutes of my 17th year listening to Glee.
Always a good choice.
