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.

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.

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.

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

Caught in the melody...

I apologize for not having any posts in the last week. I've been busy taking care of this little girl:

My six year old cousin Michelle. Smiles.

I had relatives from Kentucky and England coming all week and we basically took them to every tourist location in Los Angeles, as in Chinatown, Hollywood Blvd, Disneyland, you name it. My dad's birthday was also this week so we did that. Today is my first break from family and I have bester Gi's birthday party to go to. Busy busy busy.

Since I have been a busy bee this week, a week in photos will do at the moment.
