After a long week of volunteer work, research, and working on grad school applications I had a wonderful weekend with some very close friends. I had brunch on Saturday at an adorable little spot in Venice called 26 Beach. If you're a french toast fan I highly highly recommend it. I had the Monty Cristo French toast and it was unreal, and my coffee was served in a princess mug...so that was a plus. I then spent the evening at Halloween Horror nights at Universal studios, one of my favorite halloween traditions. On Sunday, I ventured into Los Feliz and ate at this cozy little spot called Home. It was nice and cool in the morning so I chose this dark floral blouse and paired it with my faux leather Mink Pink leggings. I got so many comments the last time that I wore this vest that I decided to bring it back! I'm also obsessing over my recent hair cut by the amazing Marissa Marino at Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood. If you're looking for a great place to get your hair done I'm convinced they can do no wrong.

If you guys have any posts you want to see or questions feel free to comment below or send me an email! I'd love to hear from you guys. Below i've included links to shop items similar to what I wore.

I had the opportunity to go to the Darling Magazine fall issue release party in Downtown LA which included music, drinks, photobooths, and best of all brownies and food trucks.  If you didn't know Darling Magazine focuses on empowering women. The fall issue had a very special unique twist, none of the women in the magazine were retouched. I hope that as time progresses we will see more and more magazines following in suit. What a dream it would be for young girls to look at fashion magazines and see people on the cover that look like them and not something completely unobtainable without a bff relationship with photoshop. 

One of my very favorite looks that I love constantly recreating is tailored shorts (or skirts) with knee socks and/or tights. Even though it was extremely hot out I couldn't resist this outfit any longer! This love for knee socks with shorts and skirts must come from watching Clueless one too many times (or maybe from attending Catholic highschool...). I completed this outfit with the Alice & Olivia long white vest, because I felt like it polished the look a bit more. 

Hope you guys have a beautiful weekend!!

P.S. In honor of National Suicide Prevention week I challenge each of you to give a compliment to a stranger or commit an act of kindness towards someone you don't know. It's absolutely amazing how these small acts can change someones day or life! I would love to hear about your kind acts in my comment section!

One of my favorite things to do is go to a good Happy Hour. Sometimes you don't want to dress up, sometimes you want to go in your pajamas. Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ is the perfect spot for that day you want to happy hour but don't want to get dressed up. You can get soooo much food for so cheap, and wear whatever you want! It's also within walking distance of my apartment, always a plus! I opted to wear these One Teaspoon Outlaw shorts, which have been a staple for me the past summer ( I alternate between these and my Mink Pink Slasher shorts). In the last year I've found myself really gravitating towards graphic tee's and tank tops and Madison & Berkeley has some of my favorite, including this 'Dream' pocket tank top.  The black, white, and turquoise star bangle bracelets are my favorite part of this look. I got these bracelets at a small market place in Maui, despite the fact that they constantly fall off of my small wrists. This outfit really worked with my going on 4 days unwashed hair...

If you guys live in LA, do you have any go to Happy Hour spots?! I would love to hear about them.
