T B T! Nothing I love more than a colorful throwback like this one from Palm Springs! I bought this Choies Paisely Dress over the summer and fell in love instantly with the print. I discovered this print was the perfect one for a Palm Springs weekend getaway (and now I am simply dying to go back :p
I paired this dress with my summer signature bag — White Gucci Soho Tote and then simple nude espadrille wedges (they go with everything <3) Even though it is fall, I fully intend on wearing these pieces here in LA all the time — why not right? 🙂
And I am on the move! Today I am off to Florida and I couldn’t be more excited! A few months ago Nordstrom + Live Nation had a huge sweepstakes to promote the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (aka my favorite sale of the year) + who would have thunk it…I W O N 🙂
So what did I win you may ask? Two tickets for me and a guest to any Live Nation show in the country + a weekend getaway to see it — So, I decided why not go somewhere fun! Universal Orlando! My dad is flying and meeting me in Orlando so we can head to Universal Studios (I haven’t been since I was a child :p) + we are going to see Amy Schumer + Aziz Ansari in Tampa!
Another fun thing I wanted to share in today’s post? (Besides this casual OOTD)…Since this weekend is going to be the first time I am seeing my dad since our road trip here from NY, I wanted to finally share some of the photos from the journey!
I seriously can’t wait to see my dad! I am a total daddy’s girl and after dropping him at LAX once we arrived in LA I cried…for a while (hey maybe I am slightly overly emotional but this is my first time on my own). I am super excited about seeing him and even more excited about creating some new memories — I mean we are going to Universal and I need to see the Minions (fun fact…I am o b s e s s e d with those little guys haha!)
Happy Friday Ya’ll! (yup I am pretending to be Southern for the day jk…just really wanted to say ya’ll haha)! I am making things hot this Friday with this hot pink button down that I actually shot back with my brother back on Long Island before I moved to big, bad LA (kidding it isn’t big + bad but it just sounded better haha) As you all know there is nothing I love more than some bright neon color, pair it with a simple pair of white shorts and I am even happier! Going through these photos made me A) Miss my little bro / Long Island + B) Made me happy because in LA, I can dress like this year round! Ahh <3
Nothing gets me more excited for the upcoming weekend like a nice packing/shopping guide! I am heading the the Del Mar race track this weekend in San Diego to finally have my ‘day at the races’ considering I missed all of the horse racing in the Hamptons since moving to LA (tear tear).
Well I am excited to A) Explore San Diego since I hear it is beautiful but I have never been + B) Win some money! (What I don’t look like a gambling kind of girl? Well that’s because I am not haha but for the sake of this weekend maybe I will be a trooper and give it a shot :p)
Anyways, the most exciting part of any weekend trip, especially exploring a new place…is the packing! So I rounded up what I will be brining in my suitcase (yes a suitcase will be brought even if it is just a weekend trip…you never know what you may need haha) and the best part is that all of my picks are from Nordstrom AND a good amount of them are from the Anniversary Saleending August 2nd so shop now before it is too late!
And this everyone is my happy place…Rodeo Drive…California’s version of 5th avenue with a lot less crowding and a beautiful temperature year round (I guess it’s safe to say I have yet to miss NYC huh? :p) I actually shot this before I was even fully living in LA. My little brother and I ventured around Rodeo one morning during our vacation a few weeks ago and I kinda forced him to shoot this outfit because yes…I wasn’t wearing ‘designer‘ on Rodeo but hey I think it still looked pretty damn cute!
