All the right moves...

Last night, one of my best friends celebrated a milestone-graduating college. 

I have to say, it's been one hell of a week for me (in a not so good way), so a night with friends, Italian food, and wine was definitely in order. I am beyond proud of her, and I can't wait to see what lies ahead. She's one of the most talented people I know, so I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that she'll be a success in anything she does.

Congrats, boo. I love you!

Here's to many more milestones, and celebrating it together. xo

I'm your guide...

3 Things:

1.) I love my friends.

2.) Days spent thrifting/vintage shopping and eating tacos are the absolute best. 

3.) I'm obsessed with my vest. 

Friday was a pretty spectacular day. My friends and I spent the entire day jumping from one bargain to another. We ended up leaving several stores with bags of inexpensive pieces of vintage. We also stopped in Shareen's where I found the most magnificent dress. I want to go back to shop for some weddings I'll be going to in the next couple of months. I cannot wait to style all the unique things I found. That last picture pretty much sums it all up.

As you can see my outfit was pretty much inspired by Isabel Marant. I am so beyond in love with everything from her line. But of course, I don't have $450 to spend on pink shorts, so I try to substitute it for something much less. Always love me a good bargain.

I can't believe it's over...my sister and I finally got to watch our favorite band, Eisley, perform at the Troubadour last night. And they put on quite a show. I always love seeing them perform live, because the people who usually come out to see them are truly dedicated fans. The vibe of the room was electric, and everyone sang along-even to the songs from their new album. Most importantly, my sister and I got to spend some much needed time together, which I had truly missed with her living so far away. Another highlight of the evening-I finally got to meet my facebook friend/style crush, Maeghan. She and I have mutual friends and a mutual respect and love for each other's style-so it was exciting to finally see and talk to her in person. My only gripe of the night? The troubadour security guards...such assholes. One guy even lasered me in the eye just because I was taking pictures, when there were 25 other people in the crowd doing the exact same thing...weirdo. But other than than, nothing could've ruined my night. We both went home extremely satisfied, with tour posters in hand to commemorate the evening. Perfection.

The other night, one of my dearest friends-Danielle-celebrated her 25th birthday in the Palisades. You might notice, we all kinda look the same. That's because the theme of the party was to dress up as your favorite "Danielle." After weeks of perusing her facebook pics (and due to the fact that we already had the same skirt) I decided to go as Going Out Danielle, while my husband-went as Edgy/Rocker Danielle (yes, he even stuffed his shirt and wore lipstick-talk about dedication!). Everyone had embraced the theme, and had a really great time!

 The next day was Mother's Day, and it was really nice to be with my folks. We decided to take my mom to Mexicali-they really have the best margaritas. As her gift, I got her a print of one of my favorite pictures of the 2 of us...she was so excited and happy. Even though my sister couldn't be with us, we were constantly on the phone with her, so it felt like she was there. We ended the day with a matinee showing of Something Borrowed-which was really cute, Yogurtland and In 'n' Out. Perfect perfect day!

P.S. Wasn't my mom a stunner? I mean, she still is-but that last photo is actually a painting one of her suitors gave her. I think she was only 19 at the time. Anyway in honor of Mother's Day, I thought I'd share it with all of you. 

We are stars...

This is the final part of our beautiful trip. It was spent relaxing at the beach (albeit very cold), eating delicious food, and exploring new places with my love. There's really nothing more I can say about those 4 days. They were definitely much needed, and I still reminisce about it constantly. Sometimes we joked about moving there. While that would be nice, we are very much dedicated to LA. But Santa Barbara has a huge place in our hearts now, and we're already excited to go back. Whenever that may be...Below is a video montage I made of our trip to the tunes of The Pierces. I hope you guys love it just as much as I do. xoxo

P.S. I know Coachella was weeks ago, but can I just say that I fall in love with Kate Bosworth more and more every time I see her. This was by far my favorite look from the music festival. So relaxed yet such a statement. I cannot wait to rock this on the 4th of July!
