Baja Basic.

There are so many things I love about this Jen's Pirate Booty Baja Beach Pullover, the colors for one, the different textures between the weaving and the gauze body, and the fun silhouette like the oversized bell sleeves. But, I have actually had a hard time utilizing this piece in fresh looks. I've come to realize that with a piece this unique and funky it is best to simplify everything else. I took a dark wash Hudson Krista skinny jean and some ankle boots and created a clean-cut, weekend look, that anyone could pull off!

Joshua Tree of Life.

Two weekends ago (the weekend before I turned 22) I got to visit Joshua Tree National Park for the first time, and I decided that 2013 is going to be my best year yet, I'm starting if off 22 years young, surrounded by the people I love, and with my whole life ahead of me. I'm not going to let anything hold me back this year, especially myself. I'm no longer going to let my clothes define me, but more so let my creative style come along on my adventures. 
Trend to Try: Mix up your everyday look with some sneakers.

Fair Flare.

Summer wouldn't be complete without a trip to the fair, so for the first time Elise, Andrew and I visited the O.C. fair. Keeping it casual in a lightweight tunic from Free People and some gladiator sandals we enjoyed some unhealthy grub and checked out all the animals. My personal favorite being the little piglets, which were only TWO days old! I was on the verge of reaching into the pen and hiding one in my purse! For those of you in the Orange County area looking to save some money on the fair, check out the O.C. Fair Express. A $3 round trip shuttle ride with a $2 fair admission coupon (admission is normally $11 accompanied by a $7 parking fee). Can't really beat the deal.

Laguna Lunch.

Headed into Laguna today to enjoy some lunch and the sunshine. After eating at Sundried Tomato Cafe we got to enjoy the ICY chill of the ocean. What a perfect Sunday. For all you locals, Laguna has a free trolley running through the summer that you can take through town if you want to park on the outskirts free of charge. It was fun riding around feeling the cool breeze, makes sitting in traffic more enjoyable.

I perused my sister's closet for part of this look. It came to my attention that I don't have a lot of tank tops anymore. Hoping to catch some rays, I finally found this Forever 21 tank, that fit my style perfectly. It's funny for how much my sister and I are alike our wardrobes are totally different, especially our color palettes. After trying on about 6 tops I discovered this one is a perfect blend of both of us, florals & girly for me, summery & slightly neon for Elise.

Day 359.

Threw on some weekend clothes for a quick lunch with my sister Elise on Saturday. I didn't really plan on looking special, but I like the sleekness the look ended up having. The black cami and cardigan contrasted great with the freshness from the popping white of my scarf. A perfect go-to for a hot day, because this cardigan is so lightweight, it's like a t-shirt. Such an easy look to accomplish!

Mmm Panera, not sure if the food is as 

good as the memories; first job
