How crazy is it that summer has come to a close!? Tomorrow, I'll be taking the 5 to the 405 to the 110 (for you non-Californians, that means driving back to Los Angeles) for the start of my SENIOR YEAR OF COLLEGE WHAT!?!?!?!? Seriously, what the hell.
But anyways, to cap off a lovely summer, my mom and I headed to the Empire State for some good old rest and relaxation in the ultimate summer spot, the Hamptons. It was absolutely lovely. The weather was ah-mazing, the seafood was fresh, and the houses were seriously swoon-worthy. Here are some of the highlights of our trip:
Thursday | Arrival in Southampton
Took the early flight out to JFK so that we could make it out to Southampton by dinnertime. For the weekend we stayed at the Southampton Inn, which was perfect because it was right next to town and had bikes that we could rent and ride to the beach!
If you're heading out to the Hamptons with a large group and some money to spare, I highly suggest renting out a gorgeous Dutch colonial and partying it up. Seriously, the architecture was amazing and even an okay house comes with two acres of land.

Friday | Montauk and East Hampton
For our first full day in the Hamptons we decided to drive out to Montauk at the very end of the island and check out the historic lighthouse.
On the way back we stopped by a shack restaurant on the highway (simply titled "The Lobster Roll"—guess what they serve) and had some very yummy—you guessed it—lobster rolls! Then we checked out East Hampton for some upscale shopping and sightseeing. Apparently we walked right by Alec Baldwin and didn't notice. I guess when you live in LA you just become immune to starstruck-ness *flips hair*

Saturday | Sag Harbor
On Saturday we made our way to Sag Harbor, which was my favorite area of the Hamptons. It's super historic and down by the water where one can see many a mega-yacht. Seriously, some of them were more ship than yacht.
Anyways, we stopped for lunch at Page and ate even more lobster (are you sensing a trend with this trip?) and walked along the water. On a whim we stepped into vintage/consignment store the Corner Closet and found some true gems, including a never-been-used Chanel backpack (!!!) that I managed to snatch up. Other favorite items: an Alaïa knit dress, a miniature Kelly, and bejeweled patent leather Prada flats. I had no idea that the Hamptons were such a hotspot for vintage designer clothing, but if that's your thing you should definitely check out the Corner Closet in Sag Harbor and Colette's in Southampton.

Sunday | Southampton and Sag Harbor
On Sunday we mostly just sunned on Cooper's Beach before heading back to Sag Harbor for our last dinner in the Hamptons. I finished The Knockoff, one of the books on my summer reading list, which was a really fun and entertaining read for anyone looking to get into the fashion industry!

Monday | SoHo and Washington Square Park
Before heading back to San Diego, we figured we might as well spend a day in the City. We got to our cute hotel in the early afternoon. The Marlton, which My Domaine recommended, totally lived up to their rave reviews. If you're looking for a cute boutique hotel in Greenwich with a hip crowd and a cool history (before it was a hotel, the Marlton House was used as a residence for (then) up-and-coming artists like Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol).
That afternoon we bopped around shops in SoHo; I managed to find an adorable party dress on sale at Opening Ceremony, and I finally got to step into a real-life Aritzia, the Canadian fashion store that my sorority big is seriously obsessed with.
After a quick photoshoot in Washington Square Park, I had to take a little nap before my mom and I grabbed a late dinner at Rosemary's down the street.

Tuesday | MoMA
Our flight out of JFK wasn't until 5pm, so we visited the Museum of Modern Art in the morning before driving to the airport. The museum was a real treat. I got to see Picasso's Demoiselles D'Avignon, a few paintings from Monet's water lilies series, a number of Warhol pieces, and Van Gogh's Starry Night! The art history geek in me was so glad we were able to stop by the museum.
All in all, a lovely weekend with both relaxation and a taste of busy NYC living! I already can't wait to go back!

It's been a lovely first week of summer, and I'm so happy to be home in San Diego for a little bit. It was raining for the first few days (not exactly tanning weather) but the sun has come out just in time for Memorial Day Weekend.
Whenever I'm home I have to visit all my favorite restaurants and cafés, so it was a good week for good food! Here's what I was up to this week:

What was everyone else up to this week? Have a happy Memorial Day!
What a fun weekend! I told you April was going to be a busy month! Here's what I did, and more importantly, what I wore:
Saturday

On Saturday USC held it's annual Springfest music concert, kind of a mini-Coachella on campus and for free! The big headliner was 2 Chainz, but I was far more excited to see BØRNS and Portugal. The Man. It was a gorgeous 85º day, so it felt so nice to sit out on the grass, drink some boba, and listen to fabulous live music.
I wore a turquoise knit sundress with a cool open back, a dangly necklace from Urban Outfitters, classic white high-tops, and my favorite new shades from Madewell. I did my hair in two low buns à la Miley Cyrus, but to be honest I rocked that look in preschool way before Miley ever did.

Happy Easter! My mom drove up and we went out to brunch at Terrine, a delicious brasserie up in the Beverly Grove area. We got short rib hash and eggs benedict, so I'm content for forever, basically. I also got an Easter basket full of goodies! Because you're never too old for pastel-colored candies.
I wore a floral silk dress from Madewell and offset it with a perfect denim jacket and tan ankle boots.

| Finally hopping on a SoCal food trend and trying an acai bowl #sororitygirllife |
When the weather is this nice you can almost pretend that you're just on another week of Spring Break (but, you know, with the occasional class)! Back from my week in Mexico and—hopefully—looking a bit more tan, definitely feeling more relaxed, and ready to finish out the last six weeks of school.
I'm very into the idea of mixing formal and casual styles right now: a glittery work skirt with a T-shirt and sneakers, or a party-perfect dress with loafers and a jean jacket. I'm trying to find ways to reinvent items I already have in my closet and find new ways to mix and match styles.

On the way to class my friend Annie and I decided to check out the Amazebowls food truck, an acai bowl food truck that is always stationed on campus but that I've never actually stopped at until now! I'm usually one to roll my eyes at trendy LA health foods (ugh, juice cleanses) but I must admit that the acai bowl was a pleasant surprise! It's basically a smoothie with oats and fruit and it is so refreshing on a warm spring day. It's also a really filling meal and much healthier than most options around campus (Chipotle, you will be the death of me!).
I've already decided that I'm going to learn how to make acai bowls so that I can have them for lunch at my to-be-determined summer internship. Here are some recipes I found on Pinterest (my #1 addiction, you know) so you can DIY some acai too!

It's finally fall here in Los Angeles! That means busting out the army jackets and the flannel. My mom was up for the afternoon which meant I was treated to a delicious dinner at Bottega Louie, one of my absolute favorite downtown LA haunts. Seriously, they have the best macarons outside of Paris and the atmosphere is amazing. Sunday brunch is fun if you like people watching and don't mind waiting to get your seat, but a Wednesday afternoon works just as well!
But it all honesty, I'm so happy that it's finally getting a little chilly here. I don't need snow on Christmas or anything like that, but it is nice to feel a cool breeze as I sip on my Starbucks peppermint mocha instead of being forced to get my latte on ice thanks to the hot weather.
And ever since I bought this Madewell dress in August. I've been dying to wear it! Thank the lord, the time has finally arrived when I can dawn a flannel dress and not melt like the Wicked Witch of the West.

Oh, chambray button-up, how I love you so. You can be worn unbuttoned as a lightweight jacket, or tied over a bikini and work as a beach cover-up, or you can be tucked into an LBS (little black skirt, of course!) and be worn to work!
Seriously, the possibilities are endless.
Wanted to share my work outfit but was too lazy to make my roommate take pictures of me, so here are the items in collage format. It works just as well, right?
Simple but oh-so-chic, just the way I like it!

Just last week it was 80 degrees and sunny. I was wearing mini skirts and reading for classes under the Southern California sun. Now I am in an oversized knit sweater (with elbow patches, no less), leggings, and boots. Sure, I'm comfy and cozy, but watching movies in oversized sweaters while the rain pours down outside just doesn't compare to soaking up sun rays while reading about the American television industry in to-die-for neon sea foam J. Crew ballet flats.
Oh well. Rain this weekend, but I'm hopeful for the week to come. And can I really complain too much about California weather?

Today was a day when I pondered if going to the East Coast for school would be worth it. Let's see: seventy-seven in SoCal or thirty-seven in New England...hmm...Well, we shall see if I even get in to any East Coast schools before I start worrying about the weather.
But yes, today's outfit was inspired by watermelons. An ode to summer when January feels like summer
