Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

So it's not actually summertime, but here in Southern California, it feels like it!

For the long weekend, I journeyed home.

What I wore on Friday:
Scarf: Target
Cardigan: New York Laundry, Mom's closet
Shirt: Mossimo, Target
Jeans (which look surprisingly brown in this picture--they weren't that dirty, I swear!): Levi's, Kohls
Tan flats: Dr. Scholl's

On Saturday, I ran a bunch of errands. Walking past the new and improved shoe section at Target was killer, but you'll be happy to know that I made it out of Target without any extra apparel. Yay me! I did walk out of SuperCuts with a spiffed up haircut--it's okay if you don't notice, I got the same one. I'm very boring that way.

What I wore on Saturday:
Green bow: H&M
Sunglasses: American Eagle
White v-neck: Hanes, Target
Green peeping tank: (I'm not sure of the brand) Mom's closet
Jeans: Levi's, Kohls
Flip flops: Rainbow (I got a super deal on these by going to the Rainbow factory store in San Clemente)


I am so incredibly glad that I included weather-wildcard shoes. The weather has been in the high seventies and eighties and I'm so much more comfortable in my Rainbows!

Sunday was my sister's eighteenth birthday party! Mom got Allie's cake at Costco. Allie is not the kind of girl that looks forward to roses on her cake, so Mom instead thought that she'd prefer a musical motif.

Beautiful! But wait--is that a... treble clef? Mom told the manager at Costco that it wouldn't be that much of a big deal... if Allie hadn't been turning eighteen after wearing a treble clef around her neck since sixth grade (which I gave her, by the way). I'm definitely sending this to Cakewrecks.

Allie's birthday also ended up being a reunion of sorts between me and Shannon over at to boldly wear. I was so excited!

I was wearing:
Pocketwatch necklace: Modcloth
Dress: Xhileration, thrifted
Tan belt: thrifted
Flip flops: Rainbow



And Shannon was being cute, though she was getting a little toasty outside in her black dress. I think my shoulder sunburnt a little too. Yay for summer weather in January!


Even though I'm self-conscious of my hobbit feet, I had to get a shot:

Ugh, Shannon's shoes are so cute! I'm glad I painted my toenails so I could try to compete with that lovely example of footwear.

And because I felt cute, I had to take another few pictures:

 Dad and Mom's dad built this swingset when I was about as tall as the swing I'm standing next to. My cousins still love to play on it, and it's fun to pose with!

What I wore today:
Twister blouse: Forever 21
Denim shorts: Ann Taylor, Loft
Sunglasses: American Eagle
Flip flops: Rainbow

Yes. I wore shorts today! I was thrilled. And you can see the other side of my porch! Today's self-timer adventure didn't work very well, so I'll leave you with my favorite picture from the weekend:

I hope that you're enjoying life as much as I am!
