Love we need it now...

Yes I know it's the middle of the week, but I still want to tell you about my super fun weekend!
I told you all last week that we had a heatwave in Santa Cruz. Well the next day, it got colder, so it's finally fall here yay. It hasn't been too cold yet so it's pretty nice.
Anyway so on Friday, Veronica and I went on a little date downtown and went to see The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. I'm still reading the book, but I couldn't wait, and it was totally fine. Okay, I am so in love with this movie! I can't even explain it. From what I've read so far, it stayed pretty close to the book, and Veronica read the whole thing and she loved it too. Just go see it. It might become one of your favorite movies.

I felt like this weekend was just all shopping. Wow that sounds really bad, but it really was just a lot of shopping. Saturday was dedicated to Target as you can see. I can seriously spend hours in that amazing place. Their Halloween stuff is out now too so Veronica and I went crazy. We filmed a little Halloween haul over on her channel which is going up soon. I'll link it in this post later when it's up. Smiles.
On Sunday, we basically spent the entire day thrifting and vintage shopping. I was so exhausted afterwards. Shopping takes a lot out of you, I'm serious. First, we went to Bargain Barn, which is just a warehouse full of goodies basically and went through everything. We were very happy with what we found, I'll tell you that. There might be a haul coming on that stuff too. Later we met up with some Slug Style buddies to look for some photoshoot inspiration. I won't give anything away yet, but I can tell you I'm very excited. I can't wait.

I might be starting up Inspiration Wednesday again soon, and posting some Halloween-y things for you too. I want to celebrate it as much as I can this year since I didn't have the time last year.
So yeah, I hope you guys had an amazing weekend too. xo

Here's our haul from Target. Smiles.

I'd make my move...

"On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was..."
I do this every year and quote Mean Girls on here because I mean, you just have to, it's inevitable.

I realized I never posted about my sister's Disneyland birthday extravaganza, so I will be doing that now. I think it's perfect timing too since it was all Halloween-themed when we went, even though it was still the middle of September. Now it's finally October and Halloween is coming really soon. I need to figure out what I'm going to be.
It feels like I went to Disneyland like last week, I miss it so much even though it was hot as balls that day. There has been a heatwave in Santa Cruz the last couple of days so that really got me reminiscing about summer. I also miss my sister boo so this post is very well-timed. Plus I haven't done an outfit post in forever so here's one to get you through the day. Smiles.

I'll have some Santa Cruz-y posts coming up soon, I had to finish getting settled into my apartment and all that jazz. Also, classes started last week so I've been getting used to my schedule. A lot of fun things are going to be happening with Slug Style and Halloween coming up. I'm super excited.
See you all very soon. xo

P.S. A big ol' happy birthday shout out to my kindergarten buddy Jimmy Jam who turned 21 today! Love that guy. Smiles.

Paint my spirit gold...

Wow, I need to post more. Only two posts from September and today is the last day. Not good, Victoria!

Anyway, as you know, I am back up in Santa Cruz for my junior year of college which is really scary to say. Almost time for me to actually be an adult. But yeah, I'm living with Veronica again so I'm really happy about that. We started class last Thursday so it's been a pretty laid back weekend.

Some news. We got a Forever 21 up here which I knew would be a bad idea because I bought some stuff from there this weekend. Spending money, one of my many problems.
Also, I recently was asked to guest blog for the UC Santa Cruz street style blog Slug Style about back-to-school tips and trends to try. So you should go check it out here. They post pictures of the great street style seen around campus, and I'm trying to get more involved this year.

So the best season of the year is upon us, autumn, and I wanted to show you all what looks I'm looking forward to rocking. I love fall because it's on the border between warm and super cold. Some days it could be chilly and some days it's pretty nice and warm outside. You just never know, especially here in Santa Cruz. I'm just excited for this season and the coming months.
I guess you can look at this post as an Inspiration Wednesday of sorts, even though it is Sunday, but inspiration nonetheless. So enough of me talking, here's what I'm loving for fall.


As you can see, I've been really into grunge looks lately. You should see what my Tumblr looks like it's insane. But yeah, I'm kind of in lust with it. I'm a 90's kid so it's kinda in my blood already. Oh, and yes, Lua from Le Happy was shown twice because honestly, girl can do no wrong. Love her.

Hope you enjoyed. I think I'll be on here a lot more this month. I just feel like I'm letting you all down with the posts I've been writing recently. Hopefully that's not the case.
Again, check out Slug Style and my post here.

I'll only stay with you...

Yesterday was my amazing sister's birthday. We celebrated all week and it was pretty bittersweet because I left for school today. I am blogging in a hotel room as we speak.
Last night, Rosee came with me as my date and we went out for drinks with my sis and some of her friends at King's Row Gastropub in Old Town Pasadena. I've gotta say, it's my new favorite night time place. It was pretty hoppin'. I had a great time and she had a great time and I'm glad.
I was really happy I got to celebrate her birthday with her. Since I've been in college we've always celebrated in Santa Cruz every year, but somehow this year it worked out. I love that lady.


I'm going to miss her a lot. xo
See you all again soon, and I'll be in Santa Cruz then! Smiles.

Feet upon the ground...

Hello my dears!
I thought I would finally post something this month since we're about halfway through September already. A lot of stuff has been going on, I've been spending time with my loves, packing for school, and just finishing out my summer as best I can. I went to Disneyland yesterday with my sister and Geo to celebrate her birthday and it was great fun. I will post about that really soon. It's my last week in good old Monrovia so I'll be a busy bee.

So some news: I chopped all my hair off and it's really different but it's new and I love me some change. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have seen it already, but I will post a picture of the before and after at the end of this post.
Today I've decided to just show you what's been going on in my life through Instagram. Smiles.


New hair yay!
I'll see you guys really soon. xo

Here we are, just runaways...

There are things that make me happy. Photoshoots with Rosee Rose make me happy.
A couple weeks ago, Rose and I did a photoshoot just for funsies. Plus I wanted to get shots of my ombré before I cut my hair. So all we knew that it was hot as balls outside. What we didn't know was that it was 102 degrees. However, despite that we had a jammin' time shooting like we always do. She's so great at what she does and making me look good. I think they turned out great.


I hope a summer photoshoot with Rose becomes a tradition for us. I love that lady.
xo
