Destination Dreaming

Lately, I have been dreaming of traveling. The boyfriend and I keep brainstorming of all the places we want to visit. Although it's not possible for us to go anywhere right now, a girl can dream right? This is what I imagine wearing on our plane trips around the globe!

A Game of Catch Up

As I mentioned in my last post, my amazing friend Kim visited and we had an unbelievable time. We were catching up and reminiscing on old times the second she arrived. This is just a little outfit post (I know. I never do these! Let me know if you would like more of them.) to show you what I wore to pick Kimba up from LAX and go shopping. We had a terrific shopping day, followed a day later by a trip to Disneyland. Terrific staycation for me with the people I love. To read Kim's blog entry about our first day of hanging out and shopping, click here!

Birthday outfit post

This week was my birthday, and because I was working, I wanted to keep my outfit work appropriate and a little casual. Sorry for the odd background- it was pouring outside, and I was running out the door!

Weekend Warrior

This would be an ideal outfit for a fall weekend. I want this shirt soooo badly! 

Down by the bay!

So, this is my first outfit post!  I usually forget to get a picture when I get dressed, but I will make a conscious effort from now on. My boyfriend is a little confused as to why I would want a picture taken of my outfit...but he agrees to play photographer anyways. We went to the beach yesterday, and this is what I covered up with. Nothing that cute or complicated, but it kept me decent walking to and from the car!
