Tie Dye Kimono in Big Sur

As I mentioned last week, my friends and I ventured up to Monterey & Big Sur for my birthday weekend. Big Sur has been at the top of my bucket list for probably two years or so, and I was SO excited to finally go!! I'll be sharing more pictures of this beautiful place next week :) As soon as I saw this gorgeous tie dye kimono at Free People, just about died and knew I had to have it. I waited until I got my birthday discount and bought it to bring on my trip because I feel like it fit the scenery perfectly. This kimono also comes in a few other colors a[...]

Pink Floral Top

Today I'm excited to share my first post from my birthday trip to Monterey! My birthday was this past Saturday, and three of my friends and I spend the day in Monterey exploring, then "went out on the town" for dinner and drinks. We went to Cannery Row Brewing Company, where we had the best waiter EVER. His name was Adam, and he was this super laid back dude wearing a sweatshirt and said "right on" whenever we said we were doing fine. There were a few times when he would just hang around and talk to us, and ended up pulling up a chair at one point to tell us a[...]

Pink Velvet Dress + 24 Years Young

Tomorrow, January 14, I turn 24 years old and I'm honestly kinda weirded out by it. 24 means that I'm in my mid-twenties which is CRAZY!!! It seems like just last year I was starting high school... But that was just about 10 years ago now ? Anyways, as I was trying to put my birthday outfit together, I wanted to use this gorgeous pink velvet dress that I bought for the holidays, but didn't want to just wear it with my leather jacket and black heels again (a la this Instagram post). I was trying to dress it down a little, so I threw on my favorite over-the-knee[...]

Pink Suede Sneakers at Pacific City

Happy hump day! This past weekend, my childhood best friend and I headed up to Pacific City in Huntington Beach for an afternoon of lunch & shopping and it was so good catching up with her! We lingered around in Free People lusting after every single thing, got hit on by our waiter, and tried out a new coffee shop, Philz Coffee. I got the Mint Mojito (it doesn't have alcohol) and it was DELICIOUS! I threw on a pretty basic outfit, and the pink suede sneakers are probably my favorite part! I'm obsessed with anything pink/blush suede/velvet at the moment. Ou[...]

Best Golden Globes 2017 Fashion Trend: Starstruck

If you watched the Golden Globes last night, then you most likely saw Emma Stone's sparkling star dress. To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. I feel like it was totally appropriate for her to wear because in my opinion, she was the STAR of the night! La La Land, Emma's latest film, was such an amazing movie and deserved every single award it received. I just loved all of the Old Hollywood vibes in the music, fashion, dancing, etc. and the whole thing was so refreshing compared to all the other movies that are out these days. Not to mention Emma Sto[...]
