Patriots Aftermath.

January 20, 2014

Los Angeles, CA

Ok well first off- I have to address the elephant in the room (would it be “elephant on the screen?”) Anyways, I’m sure the big question on all your minds right now is, of course, what my thoughts are on yesterdays Patriots game.  Am I right?  Well guys, the simple answer is, while it was certainly rough one (I’m talking ROUGH), I’m still proud of them for making it so far this year.  Oh and ya know what I also appreciated?  Even though they lost, Tom Brady still wore quite the eye-catching suit in the post-game interview. I mean, that could’ve been a really somber and depressing press conference, and maybe it was, but I was totally distracted by his fashionable attire the whole time so I couldn’t even tell you if it was or not!  All I know is that I am already looking forward to another season of Tom Brady and his post-game press conference attire.

Although they say it’s winter (and I’ve been trying my best to dress accordingly) it’s just about as wintery as a day at the beach for me today here in Southern California.  I have some family in town from back east and they have assured me that it is freezing back home and so we made sure to enjoy the long weekend over at the beach.  That’s right- I’m talking bathing suit weather.  We went for ice cream, woke up to take early morning strolls on the beach, played a few rounds of ski-ball at the arcade and- I even saw a few seals yesterday!  Having family in town is amazing and somehow, no matter how much time we spend together, it never seems to be enough.

I chose this bright and airy outfit for today’s lunch down at Enterprise Fish Co. before I have to drop my cousin at the airport.  I’ve always been too scared to wear these high-waisted flowy pants because they can be a bit unforgiving, but I figured what the heck- It’s 80 in January, I’m going to take a risk!   They’re really comfortable- it’s like wearing PJ’s- and if you pair them with some heels or booties like I did here, you can dress the outfit up a lot. 

Happy MLK Day!

Get ready for the weekend, because it’s just moments away!   I put together this cozy little outfit that feels just perfect for a Friday afternoon.   It’s always fun to mix different color shades together- here you’ll see I did it with greens and blues.  They make an outfit pop and bring even the most basic ensembles to life.  Today, I paired a neon yellowish-green sweater with a winter green jacket and tied it all together with a blue necklace and blue jeans.   Now all I need is a hot chocolate and a ticket to the Mile High Stadium and I’d be ready for an AMAZING weekend! (In case I haven’t already told you guys, I’m a huge PATRIOTS fan and I will be spending my weekend praying and rooting for them to win… oh and trying to scheme my way over to Denver to see the game live.)

So whether you’re planning to get some work done, take a little weekend get away, cheer for your favorite team till your face turns red, or curl up with a book and not leave the couch for an entire day- enjoy whatever it is that makes you happy and have a wonderful weekend!

And GO PATS!

Santa Monica, CA

For the past couple of days (it’s going on five -yikes!), I’ve had little to no voice. Well, actually that’s not true… I have a voice- I just sound like I picked up chain smoking as a hobby and while it’s kind of amusing every once and a while to hear the new strange squawking, rasp that comes out of my mouth when I forget and try to talk… I’m ready for it to be gone. 

That being said, I’ve been a bit MIA over here on the blog because I’ve been on the mend.  I’ve been overdosing on chai tea, honey, chicken noodle soup and ginger ale and I’ve been watching episode after episode of Friday Night Lights.  Have you all seen this show?  Ok, so I’ve already seen it, but it’s been a couple years and I have to be honest, I’m sucked right back in as if it’s my first time watching.  If you haven’t watched it- you may want to kill me later for getting you hooked- but seriously, it’s amazing and it’s on Netflix right now so I suggest you take advantage of the treasure that it is, and start watching ASAP.

While all the vegetation and resting has been great, I am starting to finally feel myself again and I’m ready to get back outside and enjoy the beautiful weather that has been happening here in LA this week.  I had lunch down in Santa Monica today at Blue Plate Taco and it was 80 degrees! I know it is mid January, but I hope this weather is here to stay.

I made myself feel better by putting on this midi-skirt and yellow t-shirt (both from Forever21) and paired it with my new Anthropologie necklace that I got for Christmas.  So while I still may not be feeling 100%, I am certainly on my way
