Exploring Portland, Oregon with Julia, Woody, Jon, and Phoebe. The four of us went during Memorial Day weekend of May 2018. Coming from Los Angeles, California we were immediately all taken aback with the fresh air flowing from the lush greenery that surrounded us. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, and felt that it was more than enough time to do everything we had in mind. I’d suggest to rent a car to drive around Portland to see all it has to offer. Every destination seemed relatively close to one another and due to “little to no” traffic,…
Confessions of an Instagram Blogger, “It-Girls” & The Reality Behind It
“The Fake It-Girl” What is an “It-Girl”? In today’s superficial society it has become “who is the most popular on social media”, or more personally “Instagram”. An “It-Girl” is a girl who is supposed to have it all. The smart, the beautiful, witty and charismatic to say the least. An “It-Girl” provides value and profits from herself; where as selfish, narcissistic motives do not make good, long term achievements. Here is how social media, aka Instagram, has distorted everything I once wanted to represent. Presenting the fake it girl. From photoshop to popular miracle apps like “FaceTune”, buying followers and…
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse Grand Opening in Larchmont Village
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse is a one of a kind bakery with a sweet selection of baked goods. While they have a couple locations open around in California, they finally opened up a new one in Larchmont Village! (248 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004) Had a great time trying out pastries such as Green Tea Matcha Croissants, Strawberry Jelly Jam Croissants, Savory Danish’s with Bacon, and so much more. What I liked most about their pastries was that they wasn’t too sweet even though they had a lot of other sweet ingredients (such as the matcha, jam, chocolate, etc.) that were integrated. The pastries were light and crispy and most importantly I could tell they were extremely fresh. Next time you’re in town, I recommend that you stop by Mr. Holmes for a box!
Zero Degrees Co – The Travel Bottle Series

My Experience at the Museum of Ice Cream
Do you dream of ice cream? Well, if you do, you’re in luck because the Museum of Ice Cream is in town. More specifically, in Los Angeles, CA. I’m sure you’ve seen these ice cream photos all over your social media feed by now, but here was my personal take on the Museum of Ice Cream. Located in Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles (2018 E 7th Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90021) You’ll notice, in the dark and dull district there is a new bright shining pink building. You just can’t miss it. They provided a paid valet parking lot right…
San Diego Beachin
She is in awe of California skies that glitter pink and blue against sandy beaches along the shore. Wearing ZeroUV sunglasses to block out the shade. Slight chills. Layers on a Zara fringe p-leather jacket near the water where it feels 10 degrees colder than what the weather man has said. Underneath is all in a flowy white crop top from KENDALL + KYLIE’s first collection. Finished off with some comfortable Sam Edelman gladiator sandals on her feet. She leans against the pillar softly in pure comfort and happiness. Nothing can stop her from feeling like she’s in a effervescent…
On Gloomy Days We Wear Pastel Pink
It’s been quite chilly in Southern California these days. We were in a drought but as always, mother nature naturally fixes our problems. With that being said, the gloom and the rain have been real for a while. This was a type of weather I had forgotten completely, and so had my closet. I rushed to the mall to pick up something for me to keep warm in. There I spotted this pink suede coat from Zara. It was extremely constructed garment in a contemporary style yet the color was so feminine that it balanced each other out. Even though…
Zen Mornings in Oversize Shirts
Morning’s always start with, you guessed it. A nice hot steamy cup of coffee to get through the day. One piece you can always find me lounging in is a oversize “boyfriend” shirt. It’s soft, comfortable, and big enough so you don’t have to wear pants! It almost doubles as a shirt dress and comfy enough to wear to sleep. Wearing Zara Long Stripe Blouse | (www.Zara.com) It’s currently a steal because of Zara’s end of year sale! Trust me, go check it out, this sale is SO worth it. Stay comfy babes.

Alis volat propriis
Alis volat propriis. (Latin for : “She flies with her own wings.”) Watching birds and riding on bird floaties, enjoying the amazing California weather. Bohemian fashion seems to be dying out and contemporary seems to be stepping in. An easy way to keep up with fashion trends without throwing out all your clothes and buying new ones is to incorporate your pieces differently to match whats in style. Keeping colors monochromatic and sleek sunglasses to pair with a flowy lace dress and feathered fedora, keeps the look both bohemian and contemporary. Lace Dress – Free People Feathered Fedora – Diane’s Beach Wear…
