*\_MY SISTERS BRIDAL SHOWER _/*

May 12 2019. T - Minus 111 days until the wedding 

The day started out with my aunt catching a 6 am flight into town. After three different stops, we finally found fresh flowers for the centerpieces.

Some of the decorations for the bridal shower. It was originally supposed to be held at a winery. But I felt funny after inquiring and having the lady assure me it would not rain this weekend. 

(it was a torrential downpour the entire party)

For every party, there must be games. And every game, deserves great party gifts! 

Gallivanting around Berkeley

it was a perfect day.

packed up the car and drove to Berkeley to search of vegan deliciousness.

I found it. 

Read more about that here.

The restaurant that I was adventuring to was in a neighborhood I had never been to. I thought it would be fun to park a bit further, so I could walk around and see the area. It was pretty calm, not crowded. I found a small park where Maddie and I played around in.

6 Spring Must Haves

I really like to keep my look F.R.E.S.H. and it only makes me look cooler (ahem, narcissistic much?) when my friends look good too!.
So, My friends :)
If you are thinking of updating a piece, or two, of your wardrobe for spring-
I highly recommend these closet staples. 

 I know a lot of people really got into the "sporty chic" style for fall/winter.. and the hats and track pants should carry over to spring. 

1. Baseball Hat $31.99

Light denim is making a comeback guys. you know that bleach white color? 

Add some distress or a boyfriend style, and you're set!

2. Light Colored Destroyed Denim $42.90

This is going to be big, denim and leather jackets will still be popular for spring,
but more people will be..well, covering up more.
3. The Classic Trench coat $129

I know everyone is used to being a bag lady, but with technology advancing by the minute I feel as though more things are taking up less space in your purse AND taking more space on your smart phone. get yourself a mini purse for spring. 

4. The Petite Lady Bag $ 27.50 (budget babe) L

4.5.  The Petite Lady Bag $225 (high end) R

This became popular in Fall, and the bucket bag and backpack will be the popular choice for all music festivals this spring and summer season. 

5. The Bucket Bag $168

Whenever I'm feeling less creative and having a tough time with outfit choices... I remember to keep it simple. This dress is JUST that!
Simple. Clean. Classic.
(it comes in black too!) swoon

6. White Collared Shirt Dress $198

5 things to make your rainy day, brighter.

I am by NO MEANS complaining about the weather. California has been in a drought for that last 6 years people, and we need the water!! I keep hearing people complaining about it though, it's as if they forgot how brutal the summer was and how "un-snowish" our winters have been.

Pipe Down!!

These little cuties should bring a smile to your face, while the sun is on vacation and the rain drops are dancing on your eye lashes or dog's nose.. or whatever the song is. ask Julie Andrews..
