Haul | Shopping Local, Zara, and Vinyl Records

One of my new year's resolutions was to shop local. So much of my money goes towards big companies that honestly don't need my money, so this year I've decided that I want to support local businesses more. Often they have very unique items, brands that you already know, and these local businesses add so much character and life that the bigger stores don't have. I recently went to two local businesses in San Diego to get a couple of things. Sadly this will be the last haul for a couple of months but this whole "no shopping" thing will be worth it! You'll have to watch the video to find out why I won't be doing hauls.

Outfit of the Day | Downtown

Downtown is one of my favorite areas in San Diego because I can get a taste of what it's like in a big city. San Diego is overall a pretty laid back area comprised of various beach cities, Indian reservations, ranches, and a lot of suburbs. I enjoy Downtown a lot because I get a little of the hustle and bustle that I enjoy, there's always interesting characters on the streets, and a variety of buildings for me to admire. To match my surroundings I decided to wear something that is effortlessly cool (well at least I think it looks cool).

February 2014 Favorites

February has come and gone! Honestly, where did month go? I feel like I just recorded my January favorites like last week! In this month I have a couple of the products that were in the big haul I showed you last month, so there's a lot of new products that I've never talked about. Last month may have been all about tangerine lips, but in February I toned it back a bit and started embracing more neutral colors. What can I say? I like to shake things up even if it's by toning down my look.

February 2014 Playlist

February has a reputation of being the month of love because of good ol' Valentine's Day. Although Valentine's Day has come and gone that doesn't mean that you can't continue to celebrate love. What inspired me to create this playlist was the new Metronomy song cleverly titled Love Letters. Look at me being cliché and making a playlist about love... It almost makes me want to puke because I am not cutesy at all, but I do happen to enjoy these songs quite a bit. Even non-cutesy girls give into a good love song every now and then.

Parisian Memories

I always feel so annoying when I talk about Paris because since coming back from studying abroad it's all I ever talk about. Almost everything reminds me of Paris nowadays. Cloudy days- Paris, cheese- Paris, wearing scarfs- Paris, red lipstick- Paris. You know how some people believe in love at first sight? I may not believe in love at first sight in the traditional sense, but that is just what happened when I first went to Paris in 2008.
