Denim Blue & Apple Red

Chambray Shirt: Old Navy | Skirt: Forever 21 | Sandals: Old Navy | Glasses: Warby Parker, Preston

I'm excited to pull out my skirts for the wonderful Spring weather we're experiencing in Southern California. We've had gorgeous weather and I'm excited for the 75-80 degree weekend! Beach time, maybe? :)

I also got my Preston frames from Warby Parker and can't stop wearing them!

What are your plans for the lovely weekend?

Toodles,

Just Beach Peachy

Shirt: Stylemint | Shorts: American Apparel | Sandals: Target 

This weekend, we knew we wanted to take advantage of the warmer weather, so with what seemed like the rest of Southern California - we found ourselves at the beach. 

I met my dear friends, Heidi and Jason at the dog beach with their beautiful dog Meika and Snoopy. Feeling in the seafood mood, and also hearing lots of good reviews about Shuck Oyster Bar we then, made it on over to The OC Mart Mix to have some oysters. 

The Ichabob Oyster

The Kusshi and Spring Creek Oysters

The Stingray Oysters (Our personal fave! :) )

The service and food were awesome and the place is a bright, comfortable and warm setting - perfect after a day at the beach.

  And, oh hey! It's Leonard Chan, co-founder of Shuck Oyster Bar serving up some tasty Oysters for delighted customers. 

Hope you had a warm and wonderful weekend as well!

Ta-ta!

Busy Busy Bee

T-Shirt: H&M | Skirt: American Apparel | Tights: Target | Shoes: Kohl's | Necklace: H&M | Jacket: H&M

I told you I can't get over stripes! This skirt is my favorite piece of clothing right now (I may have worn it at least twice this past week). It is American Apparel's Interlock Pencil Skirt and it is 100% cotton, which means, its like leggings, in skirt form. Haha, now I know that sounds like a nightmare for most of us, but the skirt is fairly thick, providing a rather forgiving and slimming look (the stripes also help - another win for stripes!) 

This past week was a bit crazy from working long hours and other fun things like getting my iPhone replaced due to water damage (Apple Care Plus saved my butt) and getting stung by a bee (it was my first time!). I lived off frozen dumplings, hot pockets, chai tea and Costco pizza. Now, those are typically some of my favorite foods - but I'm ecstatic that I now have returned to real life with vegetables, fruits and food that doesn't come from the freezer :) 

On that note, I have 6 days until my half marathon! Yikes, I am nervous but also can't wait to run my first half marathon with some good friends! Time flies - especially when you're supposed to be running outside 3-4 times a week :) Any tips for week of marathon training? 

Ta-ta!

Sea of Green, Splash of Pink

Jacket: H&M | Tank: Forever 21 | Skirt: Mossimo, Target | Tights: Target | Belt: Cotton On | Boots: Cathy Jean

After my inspiration post about some jackets on my mind, I may have checked in with H&M a couple times to find out when this jacket would available in their stores. I finally found it on the racks and haven't really stopped wearing it since (except today, when it was 80 degrees.)

I really can't believe it's already February! I'm still recovering from the holiday blur, and just put away my mini Christmas tree - which I slyly pushed behind the tv after the new year (though I could feel Snoopy's judgmental stare when I did it). 

On that note, with January flying by, it's just a reminder that we have one less month to reach our goals that we've chosen for 2013. It's time to get to it, and I'm excited to share some of my goals in my upcoming posts!

Ta-ta!

Come along with me:

Simply Stripes

Shirt: Forever 21 | Jeans: Old Navy | Belt: Target | Necklaces: Macy, Etsy (Gifted by Vicki), H&M | Boots: Forever 21 | Glasses: Warby Parker, Tenley

I've been very drawn to stripes lately, and recently, my shop-a-holic self went and searched solely for striped shirts. Surprisingly it's not that easy. I mean the wrong striped shirt can turn you into a costumed mime, or cause perceptional widening, both equally unflattering (and funny).

I've been wearing my glasses almost every day for the past couple months and am starting to believe that I'd like another pair of Warby Parkers - now it's just a matter of which ones! 

Do you have a pair of frames you love from Warby Parker? OR have had a great experience with a different vendor you'd like to recommend (like Bonlook, or Lookmatic?)

If so, I'd love to hear from you!

Ta-ta!

Warm Winter Weekend

Blouse: Charlotte Russe | Pants: Zara | Necklace: Francesca's | Bracelets: Gorjana, H&M | Purse: Forever 21 | Belt: Cotton On | Sandals: Old Navy | Glasses: Warby Parker, Tenley

It was like the Southern California sun couldn't help but make a quick warm appearance this weekend, and so did my toes! It was a nice weekend to explore, so we spent some time in Downtown LA at the MOCA, Grand Central Market (got the best tacos there!), and Spring Street Bar to try some of the 26 beers on tap.

I'm happy it came by, but am more happy that the rain will be here soon, so that I'll get to cozy back up with my hoarded cans of [seasonal] Salted Caramel Chai Tea Latte Mix from Trader Joes, and enjoy what's left of the Winter season :)

Ta-ta,
