Rainy Day
Red and Black Checkered Parka and Black Jeans Forever 21 | Hello Kitty T-Shirt Sanrio | Black Suede Boots Steve MaddenThe picture was taken after work when the sun came out, but it was raining for most of the day. This meant business at the store was especially slow, but thankfully I have interesting coworkers who make the day feel like it is going by a little faster.
Today’s look was inspired by what a spread from Nylon Magazine, particularly the parka’s pattern. It has a skater/snowboarder vibe, but it was also practical to wear on a cold, rainy day like today. Since it was red and black colors on the jacket the shirt was a perfect match.
While I feel I have a grunge look going on, I’m excited for the weather clearing so I can wear dresses and skirts more often.

St. Patrick’s Day
Black Cardigan and Jeans Forever 21 | Green and Black Print Silk Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Black Suede Boots Steve Madden | Black Feather Earrings Wet SealSt. Patrick’s Day came and went! I did not get a chance to post yesterday because I have made it a habit to take post at night, but I ended up going out. I did not wear this outfit out to a bar, but I wore this to run errands and clean the apartment during the day. I love the top, but my favorite part of my outfit are the feather earrings. When I went out later last night, I wore my green leopard DVF dress to fit the occasion of eating pizza and grabbing a drink with a friend at Jupiter’s. I had a great time, and came home late. The food was yummy and the company was nice=]

Boardwalk
Striped red and navy cardigan, gold anchor necklace, blue jeans Forever 21 | White flats Steve Madden | Wristlet Coach PoppySuch a fun-filled weekend!
I am very happy to be have been invited by my brother to spend the day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with his family before I headed back up to my apartment in Berkeley. Today’s outfit was inspired by the fact that we would be spending our day at the Boardwalk. Most of my pieces are from Forever 21, but I’ve linked similar items to shop below. I love this navy and red cardigan and the tiny anchor details in the buttons.
We first played mini-golf in Neptune’s Kingdom. It was a close game in the beginning, but towards the end I kept missing the holes. My brother probably ended up winning, with my sister coming in second place. My niece and nephew had a great time playing against each other, and both managed to make a hole-in-one.
We walked around the boardwalk with the kids and grabbed some food and played games to win prizes. The kids only rode two rides since our focus was to come play mini-golf, and after eating some sweet potato fries decided to start our trip back to Berkeley. Before returning to our car, I took photos with the kids and my sister, but we did not all fit in the booth. It was a fail, but a funny fail. I had so much fun, and I was glad we were able to spend our day together. Perfect way to end the weekend, relaxed, before the start of another busy week.

Weekend Wear
Teal Jacket Member’s Only | Dark Wash Jeans. Multi Color Beaded Strand Necklace Forever 21 | Heart Print Sneakers Harajuku LoversToday’s outfit mixes a unisex Member’s Only Jacket with a basic white tee and dark wash jeans. I paired the jacket with matching Harajuku Lovers sneakers I scored at Marshall’s. I loved the print of the sneakers, and added the colorful beaded necklace to tie in the two pieces together.
My mom suggested we wake up early and go see the matinee showing of The Lorax. We had not gone to the see a movie at the theaters together as a family (at least me, my sister and parents) so there was no time to waste getting ready. We ended up arriving a little before the movie was about to start and enjoyed the entire movie.
It seemed laughter was part of the rest of the day as well. We came back home to prepare lunch for later that day, which was going to be pollo al disco, which is chicken fried in oil in a heated dish outdoors. Potatoes taste amazing when sliced and fried that way too. My brother and his family arrived later and we spent time outside talking, pushing the kids on the swings, watching as my brother played catch with my nephew. We all ate together as a family, which was something we also had not done in a long time. We proceeded to play some Wii Tennis, where my older brother was a bit sour from losing to me and demanded a rematch. He won the second time around before heading to his home.
Our family ended the day by going to Dairy Queen for some blizzards after watching a commercial announcing their special of buy one get one for 99 cents. My sister, boyfriend, niece, nephew and I all ordered blizzards, and bought one for my brother to take to him since we needed to drop off the kids for the night.
Tomorrow looks to be even better day with the possibility of going to the boardwalk in Santa Cruz.
