    While I was in the process of doing some Spring cleaning, I found several tops and dresses that I hadn’t worn in over a year–mostly because I had grown bored of them and didn’t have anything to wear them with anymore. Instead of going out to buy new tops, I decided that purchasing a few basic pieces would be a better and more long-lasting way to update my wardrobe. This cute flared skater skirt was such a great purchase because it goes so well with several items that have been left forgotten in my closet. I also love that it is long enough to fit over many of my dresses, so that I can use them as tops as well. It’s incredible how many more outfits you can create when you have a couple of clothing items that are more versatile. I have to say that I’m kind of inspired to work on a future post of how to create several outfits using only a few items. You will all just have to look out for that in the near future! 
    I had both a wonderful and busy weekend, and it has me super excited about what’s to come in the month of May. It was Mexican Mother’s Day on Saturday, and American Mother’s Day on Sunday. Since we celebrate both in my family, I spent the entire weekend celebrating my Mom and all of the amazing things she’s done for me over the years. My siblings and I showered her with gifts throughout the weekend, and made sure that she had enough time for rest and relaxation.
    Next weekend is going to be just as busy and exciting since my little sister Ale is graduating from Scripps College. We went to the same college, and she was a first-year student my senior year. It’s amazing how fast time passes by. I’m not only amazed at how quickly she has finished college, but also at how much time has passed since I graduated myself. I’m so proud of Ale and all of her accomplishments, and I can’t wait to celebrate this special milestone in her life. 
    Love,

    My friend Sara and I hung out this weekend and decided to go have a “photo shoot” in the red telephone booths located around the South Lake Avenue area of Pasadena. I was ridiculously excited to take pictures inside one of these red telephone booths because I have always wanted to visit London. Like many people, I have always associated red telephone booths with the city. Since I probably won’t be making a trip to England anytime soon, in the meantime I guess I can pretend that I have visited in these pictures.

     

    One of the red telephone booths we found was located in Burlington Arcade, which is modeled after the original Burlington Arcade in London. The arcade hosts a variety of novelty shops and a cute cafe called Float that serves sandwiches and ice cream, and brews Handsome Coffee. Unfortunately, the cafe was closing up when Sara and I finally decided to step in. Although I did not get to try out what Float had to offer, the good thing is that it is now on my list of places to visit.

    All that I want to do every weekend is just lie around in my pajamas and do absolutely nothing. However, I know that if I do just that, I will regret not having done something fun and exciting later in the week.
    I always find that the earlier that I manage to get dressed, the more likely that I am to get out of the house and actually do something. Even though I want to feel comfortable throughout the day, I also want to make it seem like I actually put some effort into my outfit. Luckily, over the years I have been able to
    find clothes that are both comfortable and stylish at the same time. This makes getting dressed and out the door less challenging. Check out some of my recent weekend outfits:
