Doing Life Right

Too long, I know. I'm sorry. My pathetically unambitious goal now is to post frequently enough to avoid having to start each post with an apology. Let's see how I do. Been an eventful month for me. I'm no stranger to change, and I've got more of it coming my way very soon. More on that later. In the meantime, Here are some pics of what I've been up to lately...

Watching the Election results with by besties. Four more years!

Spectacle shopping with my handsome man. Aint he cute?

New logo idea, what do y'all think? 

A lovely afternoon on Olvera street with Danielle

As per usual, loving the F%@k out of my city. I mean...this is basically my backyard.

Have a great weekend! See you next month- just kidding. Let's hope next week :)

New @ TAVIN

I was a very busy bee this weekend working on a new collection of Fall jewelry for TAVIN boutique in Echo Park. Here's a peek...

Coastal

The very best beach day...

Ride Or Die

Checkout my new ride y'all- care of my sweet-as-can be fiance. He even attached vintage picnic baskets on each side :)

Summer Camp

Went on a quickly-planned couples camping trip this weekend with our friends Jason and Danielle. While it felt like we were a world away from the busy city streets- it took less than an hour to get to our campsite- yet another reason why I love my little corner of LA :)

Also, I chopped off another 6 inches of my hair! Was going for this little lady's look.

Lately

Some shots of what I've been up to lately. I love LA in the summertime- there's so much to do and everyone is motivated to do it when the sun's shining and the care-free summer vibes are flowing.

 Gold-Roomin and art-gallery goin with Senorita Cristina. Didn't even notice this creeper in the background until I Instagramed this.

 Santa Monica Sunset...sometimes, not often, but sometimes- I love working on the Westside.

Enjoying KCRW's Twilight Concert Series at the Santa Monica Pier with new friends

Yoga and raw vegan cooking lessons with the amazing, inspiring, wacky Cherry at Peace Yoga. Seriously so inspired by this experience- thinkin bout going vegan again...

 

And here is my (almost raw) version- kale salad, soy beef, and cabbage delight. Yum!!

 Late night jam/therapy sesh with Kevin. He's the best.

New favorite dress! Birthday present from Fabi, the most stylish woman I know.

Sunny Sunday stroll with my stylish mama and her cute pup

Cotton Candy

Some pics of the bright and cheerful ensemble I wore to a friend's bday party at La Cita bar downtown. I happily noticed I matched the packaging of her present. Love it when that happens. As this was a build-your-own bloody mary party, we chose to leave the car at home and hop on the bus. Bussin-it has recently become one of our favorite pastimes. Makes me feel green :)

Mex Dress

Though I've been home for several days now, I'm still dressin like I'm in Mexico...

ps. how incredible is the Noble House Designs necklace Danielle got me for my birthday? She is simply the best.

Oh Mexico

So clearly, I'm having a bit of trouble keeping to this posting once a week thing. Can you believe I used to post everyday? Me neither.

Well here's my latest excuse- I took a little work trip to Mexico and it was jam-packed. But no matter how busy and chaotic the workday was, it was all too easy to relax and enjoy the festive yet tranquil vibes of Tlaquepaque, the adorable neighborhood where my hotel was located. It was picturesque- exactly what a tourist wants when visiting Mexico- cobble stone streets, colorful buildings and Mariachi music drifting in the air. Amazing. Also amazing is the fresh food and the discovery of my new favorite beverage- Micheladas. Here are some pics...

Other-worldly delights from Texas-based photographer Ignacio Torres...incredible.
