It's good to be in love

 

Just a quick post, trying to stay up on the game.  I was able to spend some time at my undergrad alma mater today, Chapman University.  It is actually where I met my boyfriend.  Thinking back at my time there, I had such a wonderful experience, I loved my classes, I met some wonderful people and the professors were amazing.  Walking around there makes me feel so nostalgic but it was nice to have a little stroll about.  It was especially nice to walk through the art building where I held a job in the photo lab before and between classes and where I spent quite a bit of time working on projects and such and my junior and senior art shows.  Thinking back it is moments like those that I will always cherish.  Panther Pride.

Fabulous Finds Friday

I am back!  I have yet again allowed my blog to fall into disrepair as I have been battling exhaustion from the holidays and returning back to reality.  What better way to return than with some fabulous finds! 

My find is a local favorite of mine...dipped nails, which you might have read about here.

I happen to go quite often so I decided to share a collage of sorts of my fancy nails c/o dipped.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Happy Holidays!  I have returned from my zone of holiday frenzy to post another day.  I am so thankful that this holiday season I am able to spend it with some very special people and I am even more thankful to have the aforementioned special people in my life.  The only tragedy to speak of is the weather and my ill prepared packing.  I packed a bag of a couple outfits as I am hustling about from place to place and packed clothes for colder climates as it was pretty chilly last week but the weather miraculously warmed up quite a bit Christmas day, definitely making this otherwise appropriately comfy sweater very uncomfortable to wear, even with a skirt and bare legs.  I suppose if this is all I have to complain about I should consider myself lucky.  Wishing you lots of love and cheer!

Out of the orange colored sky

 

Last weekend I attended the grand opening of the TenderBabes Boutique, actually I guess it was more of a house warming since they had just relocated from Hermosa Beach to Redondo Beach, within walking distance of my house!  Having a super cute boutique so close to me is honestly a dream come true, but a very dangerous thing.  Well at the event I browsed around all the fabulous things and came across this beautiful lacy slashed blouse by Lush. I also own a slashed sweater from Lush, which I find kind of amusing that I now have two slashed items by Lush, I don't know why that is but little things like that provide me with such entertainment.  Anyways, the lovely ladies of Tender Babes were so welcoming I am sure I will be back super soon, AND I also won a gift certificate to boot and received a little gift bag, basically making this the best shopping experience ever.  Who doesn't love a little extra something something?

p.s check out my nails, Nancy of Dipped Nails is a nail magician she always does the coolest designs.

Hello there, I has been quite a while since my last post.  I have been caught up in the frenzy of holiday shopping leaving me little time to think of much else.  My ensemble for this post is actually my go to shopping outfit.  It is comfy and casual, but some punchy details make it a bit more interesting than just wearing a sweat suit.  And, my new Lauren Moffatt coat, is quickly becoming one of my favorite pieces because it is so warm and beautiful and it livens up even the frumpiest of outfits, point in case.  Well anyways, hang in there my friends, we will survive the holidays.

I don't want to wait at all

 Just another ho hum day in my fabulous new Lauren Moffatt coat from Anthropologie.  I was sitting at home yesterday afternoon, perusing some blogs when I noticed  Keiko Lynn, wearing this coat.  I sighed thinking I could never afford it and it will never be mine when I noticed she mentioned it was super on sale in stores only.  So, being the crazy person I am, I jumped in my car, drove to the nearest Anthropologie and practically ran through the store to the sales section.  AND BEHOLD, they had only one left, in my size and the sales girl told me it had just been returned.  It was definitely fate, at least that's what I tell myself when I rationalize spending the money on it.  Money well spent if you ask me, it is pretty much everyone's favorite coat on me, I joke.

Just like a distant star

 

 I had the pleasure of stopping by the Open Market Place at Highland and Sunset this past Saturday and had a wonderful time.  It was only two dollars to get in with free parking to boot, quite a rare find in Los Angeles.  Among the vendors were the lovely ladies of Le Fashion Truck, and I just had to pick up a couple of things, including this fabulous dress from 50 Dresses and this vintage bag.  I now feel like there is definitely no better way to shop than out of a delightfully pink, French inspired truck.  And, p.s. I'm loving this dress by the aforementioned 50 Dresses, a local LA brand.  It is so easy to wear and it came with a matching sash to either wear as a belt or a head scarf, I do so love dresses that come with ready made accessories.  Well who am I kidding, I am a sucker of a dress with out without matching belts/head scarfs, but it sure doesn't hurt!
