Just a smattering of pictures from my 4th of July weekend. On Saturday, I spent the day at the Americana with the fambam. We had a wonderful dinner at the Cheesecake Factory followed by dessert at one of my favorite cupcakeries in LA-Crumbs. It was a quintessential summer day.
To celebrate our independence, I went over to my best friend's house for a small bbq. The evening was filled with lots of laughs, love, music (by The Absolute) and lots and lots of food. Also, thanks to Kate's mom-I've discovered a renewed obsession with Merengue cookies.  I NEED a good recipe pronto, so I can whip 'em up all summer long. I've gotten so many compliments on my flag tank lately...funny story, I actually got the tank for $10 at Forever 21 about a month ago. But it was too pristine for me, so my husb dyed, distressed, bleached, spray painted and wrinkled the hell out of it, and voila! The pictures don't even do it justice, it looks so amazing in person.

I hope you all had a very eventful and fun holiday weekend!

You, Me and the Bourgeoisie

Yesterday Siera and I spent the day in Burbank. We've been waiting to see Time Traveler's Wife for a long time...so we thought it was about time. But before she came to pick me up, Geo and I did an impromptu photo shoot shown in the first two pics. I actually didn't end up wearing the red faux leather vest out, but I thought it just looked perfect with what I was wearing underneath. I made the shirt, by cropping a striped tee I bought from F21 a year ago. I thought it was time for a change.

As far as the movie itself...it was ok. I think I came into it with a lot expectations and came out a little disappointed only because I absolutely adore the book. I felt like the film was a bit rushed and didn't captivate the passion and the conviction that the main characters had for one another. I was really invested in their love...but not so much in the film. I still love Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams is just an amazing actress-but I just wish the script was a little better.

Although I gave the movie a B-, I still had a wonderful day. Plus I found a gorgeous leopard scarf at UO for $10, and...we ended up getting chinese for dinner. So all in all, it was a great day!
