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.

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.

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!

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

It's a long drive, and it's summer...

I'm back in good old Monrovia!

It's a nice break to have since I've just been working my summer away. I mean we're already in the middle of July, when did that happen? So anyway, I'm here for a couple of days to just chill and of course to celebrate my dear dad's birthday which is tomorrow. Happy times.

I don't know how much I'll be blogging this weekend so check out my Instagram to see what I'm up to. All of my info is at the end of each of my posts.

So here is what I wore today. I realize I post outfits a lot when I'm somewhere I haven't been to in a while. Just a random thought. Basically I hung out with the bam fam all day and then had dinner in Pasadena which was pretty cool. It was a pretty comfy cozy outfit. 

ASOS CROP TOP/ VINTAGE PANTS/ SUPERGA PLATFORMS/ ASSORTED JEWELRY/ LIMECRIME VELVETINES IN RED VELVET

I absolutely love these pants. You know me and velvet. They're just super soft and actually thin enough that I was pretty cool and breezy when I was wearing them. It's definitely not the time for velvet but they worked great. As for my shoes, it was a struggle but I finally got them and I'm so happy. I knew I wanted a pair of creepers but I wasn't really sold on the big fat creepers that everyone has already. I found the Superga platforms and they are the best thing ever. I also want to give my poor Keds a break. They are so busted and I've only had them for a year. Anyway.

See you soon. xo

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.

We'll be so good...

I'm so ready for this school year to be over. I have a class starting in a bit but I decided I like you guys better. I have a little something to show you all.

This past weekend, Veronica and I went around looking for new thrift stores and had a ball. I was a little bummed I didn't get to go home this weekend but it's okay. We found this thrift store with this amazing garden I just had to take pictures. I also had to work but I love my job, new laughs every day. I just hang out with really great people all the time, it's awesome. Smiles.

I decided I would show you my new babies that I ordered from Topshop a while ago. Yes I got me some jelly sandals and they're amazing. They're by the UK brand JuJu. You can get em at other places too. I think Asos and American Apparel have them. I walked all day in them so of course my feet kinda hurt at the end of the night but if you don't do that, they're just perfect. I even wore them without socks which I was afraid of at first but it was fine. I love them. They're so sparkly and they make me feel a little girly, which I'm definitely not, almost 90% of the time.

Anyway, I hope your Memorial Day weekend was grand.

Love you all. xo

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.
