I'm in the fast lane...

Alright so once again I didn't keep my promise and didn't blog the entire month of June.

Just so many things were going on and I can actually say that because it's the truest thing. Graduating from UC Santa Cruz only a couple weeks ago, moving to LA and bringing the man with me and starting a kinda new job and adjusting to the fact that Santa Cruz will no longer be home is a little stressful to even think about. The month of June was pretty much full of lasts in SC and just having fun with the people I love and what not. I will eventually post on those things but for now I will finally post about something I've been super stoked about since I found out it was happening.

I got the opportunity to do a collab with Santa Cruz sock brand Socksmith and I was pretty excited about it because all I wear on my feet if I'm wearing socks at all is this brand. They have an online shop but they are also sold at a store that is a block away from where I worked. It was really hard to not walk out of there without at least one pair of these socks. 

They are pretty amazing and have such a collection to choose from. I love them because they're all really interesting designs that I can't find anywhere and now I'm really sad that I'm so far away from them but there's always their online store.

I pretty much wear socks with every outfit I can think of so I decided to style a couple outfits for you using their awesome socks.

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.

Bound to fall in love...

It's late and I should be sleeping, but I have left packing to the last minute yet again. I think it seems to be some sort of tradition for me.

Yes, by the grace of Yeezus, I am going home for Thanksgiving. It's only going to be for a couple days but that is enough for me. I mainly just want to see some awesome peeps, eat food that I didn't buy or make, and take a break from Santa Cruz for even just a little. 

I decided I would just do a quick post about my current favorite thing at the moment which is this dress.

It's kind of perfect really, especially since I had been looking for something exactly like this for ages and then it just showed up at work. Smiles.
Also can we please talk about how wonderful Catching Fire was? Go see it if you haven't.

By the way ya'll should watch this version of Kanye's weird ass music video. Thousand times better.

Dancing through the fire...

Yes we are well into November and I'm barely posting about shenanigans from Halloween.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with midterms and working and all that good stuff. I feel like I'm always making excuses on here and it makes me mad. 

I love talking to you guys about my life and showing you what I'm up to. I promise this month will be better. So here's a little quick post from Halloween night.

There wasn't much time to take pictures since we were havin' a ball but I did the best I could. We mainly just hung out in downtown Santa Cruz which was insane since they close off Pacific Ave. on Halloween night. I hung out with some awesome peeps at the Red Room and it was great.

As for my costume, I knew I wanted to be a zombie of some sort because Veronica is amazing at doing the make up for it and also why wouldn't you want to be a zombie? Duh. Plus I didn't really want to have to buy a costume so I just looked in my wardrobe and found a lumberjack outfit. Plus it was functional and comfortable enough to wear downtown, walking a lot and gettin' dranks and all that jazz. 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.

Give me that thing that I love...

Now I wasn't planning on posting this outfit but I thought hey why don't I actually do what I promise to do on my blog and actually show them what I wear. Plus this day was nice, it was a casual day, I got paid, went shopping, had some frozen yogurt which is always great. It also felt like summer to me. It was hot as balls, well for Santa Cruz anyway. I might die from the heat when I go to Vegas. At least I have some time in LA to adjust to the weather.

A couple things:

- The next time I see you, I might already be in Monrovia. I'm super stoked about that. 

- In the meantime, follow my social media thangs, God knows I have enough of them (twitter, vine, insta, tumblr, you name it).

- Gaga's video for "Applause" is out and after two years of no music from her, it's about damn time.

And we'll conquer them all...

If you haven't read my last post, I'm basically trying to do this thing where I post my outfits a lot for you guys, whether it'd be on Instagram or on here. I just want to show you guys what I'm wearing even though it might not be the greatest thing in the world. It'll give you some peeks into my life if you don't already follow me on Instagram. I do most of my updating on there and on Twitter.

So anyway, yesterday was just what I wanted, which is a very random outfit post that I didn't even think about doing until Veronica suggested it. I went to work and she picked me up afterward and decided that we would go on a day trip to Capitola. We drove by the beautiful beach and also found this amazing vintage shop which is now our new favorite place. I found some great stuff I can't wait to style. We ended with an amazing din full of tacos and horchata. Smiles.

Veronica also uploaded a little vlog/outfits video of our day which you can check out on her channel by clicking here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The prettiest of views...

So it's been about a week since I've posted which is not very good so I apologize for that. I just started my winter quarter so I've just been getting used to my schedule and what not.

I decided to post today since I don't have class on Fridays usually and I just wanted to update you all on my life. I figured I would do a Fave Fives today since I haven't since Christmas.

Plus, once all of these award shows are over, I will definitely be seeing you again.

1. Having a cuppa.

Over break I got this obsession with tea, just any tea and I've decided that it's a very good obsession. Veronica and I have been having a cup every night before bed and it's just a nice, relaxing time.

2. Santa Cruzin'.

I never feel how much I love Santa Cruz until I'm back after being away for a while. I got out of the car last Sunday and breathed in the fresh air and it was just lovely being back.

3. Being 21 finally.

It still feels weird being able to say I'm 21, but it's nice. 

4. Yoga.

Now I've only been doing it for two days but I'm loving it. Plus I get to exercise and be healthy, and god knows I'm not at all. Oops.

5. Hair fun.

I'm so bored with my hair. I really want to do something to it but I don't know what that something is just yet. So in the meantime, I've just been posting random hair inspiration on my Tumblr. Smiles.

Anyway. See you guys soon! xx

You do it well...

It's 12/12/12 guys! And I am officially done with my finals and I'm going home tomorrow morn!

Now I have to finish packing. Oops.

But here you go! An outfit post finally!

This past weekend, Veronica and I went to two flea markets in Santa Cruz and had a grand old time. We bought some gifts for people and some other gifts for ourselves. Smiles.

I know it's like the middle of the week and I'm barely posting about the weekend but finals have been shit basically, to put it bluntly. I've really missed talking to you guys about my life and what not though.
