    I totally wore these jeans in one of my most recent outfit posts, but I love them so much that I just couldn’t wait a couple of more weeks to feature them again. I guess that I should just tell you know that they’ll probably pop up pretty often in most of my fall and winter outfit posts. After all, a good pair of jeans is hard to find, and these are super comfortable and they also fit me well.

     

    My sister Sarah and I headed to the Colorado Street Bridge to take these outfit photos. It’s one of my favorite landmarks in my beautiful hometown of Pasadena. Unfortunately, I hardly ever have any reason to walk across it, because it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere.  My sister Sarah and I decided to stop there on Saturday, on our way to Eagle Rock. While we were there, I had to also snap some pictures of Sarah. She is so beautiful and smiley, and has such a wonderful style. I can’t wait until she finally lets me get behind the lens to take some of her outfit photos.
    This weekend was also wonderful because I had the opportunity to catch up with my friend Carly, who was in town. We had a fun time on Saturday morning hopping around from one coffee shop to another. If you keep up with my blog, you probably already know that most of my friends have been slowly moving away to other parts of the country. Therefore, it’s always a treat for me when they are back in town.
    As always, thanks for stopping by. I hope you have an awesome week!

    If you’ve been reading some of my previous posts, you might remember me complaining about how the weather was over 100 degrees. Well, I’m happy to say that weather finally cooled down a bit this weekend, and I quickly jumped at opportunity to put on an outfit that seemed somewhat appropriate for fall. One of my favorite parts about this outfit has to be this boxy crop top from Forever 21. It’s made out of comfortable terry material, and it has a really cool geometric pattern that reminds me of one of those mazes you find inside a coloring book. Just looking at the pattern almost makes me want to take a pen, and start tracing out a path.

     

    Life has been pretty busy for me lately, but in a good way. I really love having so many fun and creative projects to keep me busy. I’ve been working on learning how to sew, and making items to sell on my Etsy shop. I know that I’ve been talking about opening up an Etsy shop for a while, but I kind of underestimated how much work it would be. I also feel like I’m making all these random items, but really don’t know how to piece them together. I really want to make it a goal to get my shop up and running by the end of next month. On that note, I really wish I had more hours in the day to dedicate to all of my hobbies, but I guess that I’ll just have to take advantage of my free time on the weekends.
    I hope your week is off to a great start!

    P.S. I have to confess that my favorite thing about this outfit has to be the light blue socks that I’m wearing, because they have donuts and sprinkles on them. My sister Ale got them for me because she knows how obsessed I am with quirky things like that. If you look closely enough, you’ll see them peeking through in between my boots and the hem of my jeans.

    Messy Hair Day

    August 4, 2014
    Outfit Details:
    Forever 21 Classic Wool Floppy Hat
    Madewell Bag
    H&M Top
    Asos High Waist Linen Shorts in Coral
    Lotta from Stockholm Peeptoe Clogs in Tan
    It’s been so humid these past few days, that I have realized that it’s completely useless to put in any effort into doing my hair because it just gets really frizzy no matter what I do to it. On this particular day, I decided that the best way to conceal my messy hair was by putting on a hat. I’m glad that it kind of worked! I’ve been thinking of trying to incorporate hats into my everyday outfits, and this is a pretty good reason to do so.
    Other than wasting time worrying about my hair, I had a super productive weekend. I met up for dinner with my friend Alle who is in town for the summer. I also said goodbye to my friend Summer, who is leaving for grad school in New York. I even made time to go out and buy some crafting supplies this weekend, and I can’t wait to start creating things in the upcoming weeks. I’ve decided that I’m going to start an Etsy shop, and I’m hoping that it will keep me motivated to be creative. I’m really looking forward to sharing the projects that I’m working on with all of you!
    Have a lovely rest of the week!
