CATCH UP

Hello beautiful people! It's true, I'm alive! After finishing finals (hooray!), my life has been stuck on fast forward. From the graduations (don't leave) we attended and cried at to the constant packing, it was all a crazy blur. I had to move out of Berkeley, back into my home home in Concord, and then out again for LA, all within three days. Where's the pause button when you need it? 

The first weekend in town, I went to the Pasadena Music Festival and then saw Mumford and Sons the day after. I started my internship at Lucky Brand the very next day, I feel like I haven't had a moment to breathe.  But, then again, I don't really want the madness to stop. I am absolutely loving everything. LA is no joke, I'm completely smitten. So, of course when life is going too well, would be the perfect time for my MacBook to crash. Cue gasp. Pretty much the epitome of every blogger's worst nightmare. Silly me didn't back a single thing up so here I am, very very behind on just about everything.

So while I'm playing catch up with life, blogging has been put on the back burner until I either: a) find a photographer (hey photographers hey, holla at me!) or b) find a tripod. Until then, I have been, and will be, shooting lots of outfit shots on Instagram! So follow me on there to see what's up with me, myself, and I!

TWENTIES

Over the weekend I turned the big 2-0. It was a beautiful day spent with beautiful people; I literally couldn't have asked for a better way to say goodbye to my teens and hello to my twenties. From brunch at the sweetest little cupcake spot in the city to dinner in Berkeley with all of my loves, I am glad to say that this was the best birthday to date.

It's a weird feeling leaving my teen years behind and taking on a brand new decade. The past 20 years have taught me far too much and not enough. With so many exciting things planned for the next year, I can't even being to imagine what the next ten will bring. Here's to hoping, to dreaming, and to the adventures that come in between!

DRIVE THRU FASHION

Holy moly raviolis! It's been one long dry spell...in terms of blogging...and then some (whistles). The last week or so was a whirlwind of midterms, papers, quarter-life crisises, events and working a butt ton, it was difficult to think, much less write, with my brain processing far too many thoughts at once. And then, as if by sheer magic, I snapped right out of it. I still have no idea what clicked inside but everything just seemed, not to sound overly cliche, clearer, like the world is finally starting to fall into its rightful place. I haven't been able to wipe this little smile off my face since then and it's all good in the hood cause I am finally feeling giddy and ready to get bloggy again! Hip hip HOOOOOORAY! 

On off days when I'm already late for a million and one things, Instagram has been my savior, my go-to, basically my "fashion drive thru" to stay connected and documenting. I am a full-blown addict, I've been known to say "don't even think about eating that until I instagram it!" What can I say? I'm a totally social media sucker.

We will be back to regular programming, also known as outfit posts, very very soon love bugs!

HEART TO HEART

2 days late, but better late than never right? Just wanted to say a quick HEY and I LOVE YOU. Hope Valentines Day was filled with chocolates, sappy music, and lots of X's and O's ! Wish I could give each and every one of you a big ol' hug and a high five (that's just how I roll). Mine was spent with my girlies, bitching about love, life, our lack of love lives and everything in between over a nice dinner of sushi and tempura ice cream. You know how us single gals get on such a mushy gushy day (cue the bitter, cynical and forever alone comments). How was your day of love? Let me live vicariously through your love life, please!

<3
