The crazy rain storm this past weekend was the perfect start to the Autumn season here in California. It also unleashed my love for the chilly season.. bring on the snow boarding trips to Tahoe, boots and cozy clothes.

I got that Summatime, summertime sadness.. aka I wish that the nice outdoor running conditions were still available for me. But sadly, I know that the mornings will become chillier and I will need to pull out my running layers; I need to stay warm but properly ventilated. I found this great piece in Runners World all about cute outdoor workout attire and thought I would share. I see a few items that I might need to grab.. especially that Lululemon Run- Inspire jacket! Check out some other great finds here.

Here are links to other shops I love to buy my fitness gear from- I still like to be cute while I workout.

make it work

 Dealing with a new space is stressful enough, let alone the fact that I won't have a closet. And if you have been following me for a while, you know I have a bit of a clothes// shoes// purse addiction (a healthy one) But luckily, thanks to Pinterest, my creative juices have been flowing and I'm not that scared to try and build my own closet. These are some of my pins that have been helping me plan lately. Hope they bring some decorating inspiration to you too!

My current wishlist for re-decorating my new space. Hopefully, I'll be able to check some items off my list.

the casita

living alone is different.. I cook for one and tell my dog about my day. She always listens. I can choose to do whatever I like. Whether it is going to the movies, taking a walk downtown late at night or even play my music too loud and dance around in my panties.. It’s nice.. but it’s lonely sometimes. I got to design my space exactly how I liked it; I had fun making the decorating calls and pulling inspiration ideas from the world around me. I wanted to try to live on my own to prove to myself that I could do it. And I think if I had been in a better mental and emotional state- it would have been more enjoyable. But I miss having someone to cook for, a friendly face to come home too and even the occasional dinner out- I miss having a companion. So I made the decision to give up my little casita and find a roommate. I think it will be a positive change, and I’m excited to start a new chapter in my life. 

Thank you little casita for all that you taught me. I hope you enjoy the snaps of my space.
