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:
Monday

| Almost too pretty to eat! |
Tuesday

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
 |
| A picture I took during the set (BØRNS has sweet style) | Later, we got a picture with him! |
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.
Sunday

| Dress and denim jacket from Madewell | Urban Outfitters necklace |
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.

What did you do this weekend?

| 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!

What new outfits are you trying out this spring? Have YOU tried an acai bowl yet?
J. Crew Chambray Shirt
Urban Outfitters black pleated skirt (Similar HERE)
Madewell sandals
Kelsi Dagger Bag
Tory Burch Sunglasses
Urban Outfitters necklace (Similar HERE)
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!
I attended a friend's summer barbeque in Venice Beach yesterday and wore a perfectly summery white lace dress paired with a plaid shirt to add some country edge to the ensemble.
The LWD (Little White Dress, for those of you who are acronymically-challenged) is a summer must-have, as it works for a number of events. For example, I've worn this dress to picnics, dinner parties, the beach, a beach-themed party, class...the list goes on and on.
I also love using a button-up shirt as a jacket in summer. Button-up shirts tend to be more light-weight than most jackets, so they work wonderfully for when the day gets a little cool.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
I'm taking the day off (and so should you!) but I hope your day is lovely and filled with joy and happiness. Take some time to enjoy family, friends, and fashion of course, and I'll see you back here tomorrow! :)
xoxo, Lindsey, the Fashion Barbie
