Set fire to the rain

It was such an eventful weekend for me. I worked a lot, but in addition to that I celebrated both Danielle's bachelorette party at the Saddle Ranch and my mom's birthday the following day. It was so great to see Danielle having such a great time, and she looked so beautiful. I can't believe her wedding is in 2 weeks! 
The next day, my family celebrated my mom's birthday at our favorite restaurant Cafe Bizou.  The food and service is so excellent, we always leave feeling incredibly satisfied. After lunch, we saw One Day. But I'm in the middle of reading the book, so I wasn't sure if I should see it yet- but I didn't want to be a party pooper, so I saw it anyway-and it was so beautiful. I didn't think I would cry, but I did. And it was acted amazingly by both Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway. I would definitely recommend it. And I can't wait to finish the book.

And...I'm sorry I don't have any great pics of my outfits. It's just been so hot outside- dressing has mostly been for comfort and cooling- and the last thing I want to do is stand around taking pictures in this heat. Hopefully, when September rolls around it'll get a little cooler. 

Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend!

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

5 Things that make me extremely happy at the moment...

One of my many maxi dress hangers. I think I need to start separating my dresses out more evenly though, because this one is feeling very heavy lately. But looking at its diversity makes me smile. I have created quite a collection for myself-you really can never have too many maxis.

Pinkberry's salted caramel. Last night my girls and I went out for dinner and dessert, and thank God we tried this, because it was this flavor's last day...I'm bummed it will be gone, but sorta thankful because I would probably become obsessed.

The fact that I will be in New Orleans in 2 and a half months. I intend to do a lot of traveling during this time of reflection.

Vintage Stevie Nicks. I've been listening to her constantly. It's starting to affect my mood (not so good) and my style (amazing).

Friendship. I have the best girlfriends.

I cherish moments like these...my sister was able to spend the entire weekend with me. And today, we had the extra special treat of going on a double date with my best friend and her sister. We perused the Melrose flea market, where I found the most perfect pieces for my apt, and the John Lennon sunnies I'm rocking in all these pics. As you can tell from my outfit, I was inspired by some of the menswear I've been seeing all over the September issues. I couldn't wait til fall, so I decided to pair my shirt with leather shorts to give it a more summer feel. Afterward, I found the most amazing sheer silk chiffon maxi dress at Shareen Vintage. I can't wait to wear it out for an evening with my girlfriends. Just the right amount of subdued sexy. 
Love sister days so so much.

I had quite the eventful weekend with my girlfriends. First up, was Kristina's 25th birthday party at her apartment, followed by Page 71. I finally got to bust out my lace flared pants. It's quite a risque move-something I'm not used to wearing. But sometimes, I like to take chances when it comes to fashion. And Kris' party was the perfect opportunity to showcase it.
The following day was Danielle's bridal shower in the Pacific Palisades. It was such a relaxing vibe, filled with all things girly. D was glowing, and the food was spectacular. There's nothing like mimosas and brunch, especially when it's to celebrate one of my closest friends getting married. :)
All in all, such a fun-filled weekend.

I'm back. I'm sorry for the long hiatus. I know I haven't posted anything new in 2 weeks...there has been a lot going on in my personal life lately. Of course, I'd really rather not talk about it on here and weigh you guys down. But I will warn you all, there are going to be a lot of changes going on in my life in the near future. I hope the changes bring a lot of good and strength in me, and will hopefully help me evolve into an even better human being. 
In the meantime, I'm finding solace and satisfaction in my family and my friends. Today I finally dug myself out of the hole I created, and had a date with one of my girlfriends. When it comes to vintage hunting and thrifting, Maeghan is my girl. I have discovered so many hidden treasures in LA because of her. And through me, she has now discovered Bottega Louie and macarons. Today was definitely the day I've been needing for awhile.
