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.

It's all in your eyes...

So this is the final Vegas post! I'm still counting it as Vegas even though this entire post was taken when we stopped for a stretch in the middle of nowhere, Nevada, on our way back home. It was ugly hot outside and my hair was no match for the wind but George got some great shots of our surroundings.

We had a great trip. I miss the desert so much. Smiles.

By the way, if you don't already know, New York Fashion Week is over but say hello to London Fashion Week. Got my NYFW round up coming soon!

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

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 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

In the corner of my mind...

I thought I'd do a Fave Fives today since I haven't done one of those in a super long time. Plus I want to show you what I'm digging at the moment. Enjoy.

1. My new pumped up kicks.

I've already talked about these once before when I first got them and I'm so in love with them. I wear them to work all the time and they get me through the day. They're creepers so they give me some height but they aren't obnoxious. I love them and they're perfect.

2. Sweet treats.

Particularly the donut kind. We have been blessed and cursed living in this apartment which is only a stone's throw away from a 24 hour donut shop. This summer has been full of donut runs and it's been aces. Donuts just hold a special place in my heart.

3. Comfy trouser pants.

Lately I've been into wear anything but actual jeans and it's not even that hot here right now. I just want every pair of patterned pants I see whether they flare or are tapered, it's pretty problematic. They're just great with a solid crop tee and boots. I basically live in them.

4. More candles.

I forgot the appreciation I have for candles. Recently, on a great night in Veronica and I were having watching Finding Nemo and eating ice cream, the power went out. I was physically dying for almost two hours. But we lit a bunch of candles and it was actually nice the house smelled amazeballs.

5. Teenage witches of the Sabrina variety.
I'm in this 90s funk and it's so great. This show is my childhood okay. I haven't watched it in so long, I forgot how much I loved it. In the span of one week maybe, I've already gotten through three and a half seasons. I literally squeal with delight during every episode, whether it'd be from the clothes, the special guests (*NSYNC and Britney anyone?), or from how adorable Harvey is. I have fallen back in love with this show. If Harvey Kinkle isn't your 90s dreamboat, you're delusional.

Hope you babes liked this. An outfit post is coming soon.

If I recover, will you be my comfort...

Hello there!

This week has been pretty uneventful, but I wanted to give you guys an outfit post anyway. On Monday, Veronica and I went on a date to the movies and saw This Is The End which was insane and amazeballs, definitely our kind of movie. We were running a little late so I didn't have time to take pictures when it was still bright outside.

The top I wore was one of the items I got from the vintage store that we stumbled upon in Capitola. I posted it on Instagram a couple days ago. It's this great 70s-y crochet top that reminds me of cotton candy. I love it because it's pretty Unif inspired and anything Unif is awesome.

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.

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.
