Celebrating My Birthday in Laguna
DRESS: H&M | CARDIGAN: Nordstrom Rack | SANDALS: Forever 21 | BAG: Coach | NECKLACE: Cotton On My 32nd birthday is today (Oct. 29th). I celebrated over the weekend by going to Big Bear Lake Saturday and Laguna Beach on Sunday. I will do a little bit of celebrating today as well. It’s really hard to figure out how to celebrate a birthday when a lot of stuff is closed and you aren’t supposed to see anybody or travel too much. I really struggled this year figuring out what I wanted to do. Aside from the restrictions, we took a little trip to Utah and…

How to Style Pink Shorts
T-SHIRT: H&M | SHORTS: H&M (on sale in store) | NECKLACE: Forever 21 | BAG: T.J. Maxx I came across these shorts in the sale section at H&M a few weeks ago. I decided to get them because they were pretty cheap and I can always use more shorts. I really wasn’t too sure about the color though. I really liked them. I just didn’t know how to style them or how often I would wear them. They are also kind of an uncommon shade of pink, which doesn’t really help with styling. I think the easiest way to style…

What to Wear With Mom Jeans
TOP: H&M (similar) | JEANS: H&M | SHOES: Abound (Nordstrom Rack) | BAG: H&M | NECKLACE: Gift I have been a longtime fan of mom jeans. I feel like the trend kind of started out with boyfriend jeans. They were much baggier, often had lots of rips, and lower waistline. I didn’t really like those, not going to lie. Once the trend migrated to mom jeans, I hopped onboard. The waistline of mom jeans is higher and they are a bit more narrow. I really love them now. I own 4 pairs and they are normally the only style of jeans I wear. I do…

White Tank at the Dog Beach
NECKLACE: Forever 21 (similar) | TOP: H&M | SUNGLASSES: TJ Maxx (similar) | SHORTS:Target Some beaches in Southern California finally opened back up yesterday so we were able to get our puppy out to play. We have been working on taking him to as many open parks and trails as we can without putting ourselves and others at risk. Most parks aren’t open though. It’s been really difficult because our puppy needs to get properly socialized. When we heard the news that OC beaches opened up we were pretty excited. We took him to Huntington Beach Dog Beach. He has been to this beach twice…

Basic Orange Sweater
SWEATER: H&M | JEANS: H&M | EARRINGS: Local Eclectic | SUNGLASSES: Shein | SHOES: Meijer (similar) I normally don’t like orange so much but something about this color always attracts me. It’s kind of a mac and cheese orange but I think it’s really pretty. I got this sweater for Christmas and it’s a really good casual sweater to throw on when I am feeling lazy. I also got these earrings for Christmas, from my husband. I love them because they are gold and opal. Opals have always been my favorite stone. They are just so beautiful. They are from Local Eclectic. This is my favorite jewelry store.…

Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook
JEANS: H&M | TOP: H&M (similar) | SHOES: Target (on sale in store) | NECKLACE: Souvenir from Hawaii | HEADBAND: H&M (similar) Happy weekend! Today we went around areas of L.A. checking out potential new apartments. We are planning on moving closer to Los Angeles in the near future. I recently started a new job there and can’t stand the commute from Long Beach. Sometimes it is 2 hours, one way. I am working for Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook as a sample coordinator. I work in the studio where the photos are taken for the website. Basically, I help to keep track of the items coming in and going…

Palm Print Pants
PANTS: H&M | TOP: J.C. Penny | BACKPACK: Sole Society | SNEAKERS: Target | NECKLACE: H&M | SUNGLASSES: T.J. Maxx (similar) I found these pants at H&M a few months ago. They are super comfortable because they are really lightweight and stretchy. They are perfect to wear when it isn’t super hot out, but not too chilly. I love the print as well. I’ve been wanting something with a palm print for a while. Before I went to Hawaii on my honeymoon I was looking for something with a similar print, but couldn’t find anything. The week I got home, H&M had a ton of things with…

A Summer Walk
TOP: Forever 21 | SHORTS: H&M | SUNGLASSES: Zero U.V. | BELT: H&M | SHOES: Keds | HAIR CLIPS:H&M We are always on the lookout for new little parks and hiking spots. We came across this little area in Seal Beach. Although it’s tiny, it’s pretty private and the trees are really cool. I wore this little cropped top and some jean shorts because it was super hot out. I found this cute top in the sale section at Forever 21. I just love the floral embroidery and lace trim. It’s so cute. I paired it with my white sunglasses and these cute pearl clips. It took me a while…

Yellow Stripes
TOP: H&M (Similar) | SHORTS: H&M | SANDALS: H&M | BAG: H&M (on sale in store) | NECKLACE: Forever 21 | SUNGLASSES: T.J. Maxx Although this outfit is super basic, I really like it. It’s cute and comfy. Ever since moving to California, I have been more into t-shirts. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. T-shirts are so boring. I feel like that laid back California style is rubbing off on me. I really want to make more of an effort to stop wearing them so much. I did manage to dress this outfit up a bit with the sandals, necklace, belt, and bag. I feel like they are…

What to Wear With a Denim Skirt
TOP: Zara | SKIRT: H&M | SHOES: Circus by Sam Edelman | BAG: Coach | SUNGLASSES: Zero U.V. I found this top at Zara when I went back to Chicago a few weeks ago. I love the style and color. Ruffles are really my style because they are super feminine. This top is nice because it’s a rib knit so it’s super form fitting and comfortable. I wore it with this denim skirt from H&M. I have been in need of a denim skirt for a really long time. I can’t remember the last one I owned. I got this one in the sale section…
