New In: Southern California Treasures


I hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend so far! I wanted to share with you some of the treasures I bought while vacationing in SoCal. Yes, these purchases are from my visit over a month ago (I just have not gotten around to sharing). One of the many reasons I enjoy visiting California is for the awesome shopping! I can always find items that I can't get back where I live. This past trip I picked up some unique pieces that I couldn't wait to share with you!

I nearly died when I spotted this foxtail keychain! I've been searching for the perfect foxtail ever since Louis Vuitton released them in a collection several seasons ago. For me, finding a foxtail was like finding a needle in a haystack and when I did find one it would either be a.) way too expensive or b.) the wrong color. Luckily, I just stumbled upon this one. Not only was it incredibly affordable but it was the perfect coloring. I call it my new endearing bag accessory! 
I absolutely love this Chanel brooch! I thought I was in heaven when the salesperson in the Chanel store took out an entire tray filled with different pins. I instantly fell in love with this one for its classic appearance and pearl detailing. I drool over all things Chanel and am glad that this was my first Chanel purchase. Although it was quite expensive, it's a piece that transforms an outfit and it will NEVER go out of style.



Verameat has instantly become one of my favorite jewelry stores. I was attracted to its cool window displays and quirky jewelry pieces. Verameat has a variety of uniquely designed pieces  - from dinosaur rings to scissor necklaces. I chose to purchase this Verameat french bulldog ring in gold brass (here). It's so different than the other pieces I own and I love that it has personality. I would definitely suggest checking out the website if you haven't already. The company does a great job at designing cool jewelry that you will never find elsewhere.

Mother's Day Gift Guide


Hey everyone! As you know, Mother's Day is just around the corner. If you haven't already done your shopping, don't panic! You still have time to find a great, thoughtful gift. It can be quite the challenge to find a jaw-dropping gift for mom. Thus, I collected a few of my favorite gifts (of varying prices) that I'm sure any mom would adore.

*Tip: It's a challenge to gift clothing - finding the perfect style, size, and color. Instead, I prefer to give beauty products, accessories and even home decor. These goodies will surely never disappoint!

  1. Miss Dior Gift Set
  2. Ted Baker Beauty Bag
  3. Voluspa Candle
  4. Monogrammed Acrylic Tray
  5. Magazine Subscription (varies)
  6. Louis Vuitton Speedy 30
  7. Borghese Fango Mud

Favorite Memories from California

Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing with you a few of my favorite photos that I shot during my most recent visit to SoCal.  It is no surprise that I absolutely love everything about Southern California: the weather, the plant life, and of course the sights. While visiting, I spent time in San Diego and travelled to Los Angeles for a few days. Both cities are so different and have so many interesting things to offer. Where is your favorite place to travel?
I explored Old Town (San Diego, CA) for the first time this following trip. If you have not heard of it, it's a state historical park with a variety of Mexican specialities. I personally enjoyed the shopping and loved the Day of the Dead skulls. These ones above are hand painted by an artist from Mexico.

This looks like such a random photo but I love the way it turned out. The tree was honestly so cool! The trunk looked to be a smooth surface from afar. However, once you touch it and look from beneath you can see that it really has an interesting texture.

Breakfast in Bel Air


Hey guys! I just returned home from visiting SoCal for a week. Of course I had a wonderful time (as I typically do) and was saddened to come back to reality.  I spent a few days in Los Angeles looking at colleges and even managed to find time to explore the city and relax. 
I wore this outfit to breakfast (which may I say was delicious). It was even comfortable enough for me to wear on a two-hour walking tour! The skirt is something I rediscovered buried deep within my closet. The loose fit makes it super breathable and comfortable. I paired it with my cute little pink loafers, which I absolutely adore. I'm currently on this loafer kick probably because they are super comfortable and instantly add a polished touch to an outfit.
