summer loves.

Fall is approaching! I'm very excited about it. I love the shnuggly weather, hot drinks, spiced flavors, and sweaters. However, I am a little sad to see summer go. I'm hoping that we may be able to make a trip to Palm Springs work sometime soon. (Probably not, but it's fun to dream). Here's some trends that I absolutely loved this summer:

The good news: Just because summertime is leaving us, doesn't mean that all of these things are too. What were your favorite trends this summer? (I practically lived in cut offs)

PS- Fall inspired post coming soon!

summer in the city.

Today was a fun day! Philip and I took Patirck down to Little Italy for a walk. We grabbed coffee at Influx and enjoyed a stroll through the city.

Patrick gets thirsty. The little perch behind the water fountain was perfect for him.

On our way home, we stopped by Pink Berry (yum). Shortly after that, Summer and Nathan came down and took us to the zoo. It was the best Saturday! What did you do today?

christmas in july.


This past weekend Diane and I hosted our ridiculously early Christmas party. Normally we have one in October or November when it starts to get a little cold. This year, we just couldn't wait.

We decorated cookies, played some sort of beer pong, took family portraits, and watched Elf. It was amazing to celebrate Christmas with so many people. Our friends are fun :)

summer hair.

I'm probably the last person that should be sharing hair advice. However, that's what might make these styles even better. If I can do these, you can do it too.
Joanna Goddard posts great hair tutorials that anyone can do. I thought that these are great ideas for spring and summer. They would work great for a day at the beach, a sunny bike ride, or just lounging around in a cute dress.

When I was working at Starbucks, I had to wear my hair out of my face. When I woke up early enough to do my hair and makeup, I usually rocked this pony tail. It's very easy to do and I always got lots of compliments.

Accessory tip: wear a big bow right above the pony tail to cover up the bobby pins.

I love a messy bun. This style is perfect for when you're running out the door and need to do something quick and cute.

Accessory tip: You can wear an oversized bow on the back of your head right below the bun (like the bun is sitting on top of the bow). Another idea is to pin a smaller bow or flower on the side of the bun.

Maiden braids are really fun and they keep your hair out of your face. My experience is that when you braid your hair, pull apart the braid a little, making it slightly loose. If you have thick hair, you probably don't have to worry about that.

Accessory tip: Try braiding a pretty strip of fabric or piece of yarn with your hair to add a little extra something.

sunscreen and mimosas.






It's absolutely gorgeous in San Diego lately. I'm hoping that it will stay like this.....forever. I love the sunshine. Lately, I've been wanting to live at the beach in my bikini. Our beautiful weather has inspired my "sunscreen and mimosas" board on Pinterest.

PS- There's a couple of new items in the shop. Also, don't forget to enter the giveaway for the woodland chalkboard. Enjoy your Friday! :)

Winter Colours

I've decided to participate in Poppytalk's Winter Colours Week for the rest of the week...[maybe I'll play catch up from yesterday and today too]. I'll post those photos tomorrow for you.

I had a crazy long day of non-stop cleaning at work today. I'm exhausted and ready for some relaxing. Also, we had more amazing weather today. It's making me so excited for summertime. I am so grateful for our wonderful weather we're spoiled with in San Diego. We couldn't ask for anything better.

I am absolutely loving the feel of these pictures! Found via pinterest [Pinned to my 'Happy I am' board]. Here's the original source.
