sparkle




sparkle, dazzle, bling, glitter, sequence. I enjoy these year round, however sparkle is a hit this holiday season. I am really loving a dramatic glittery eye, sequence tops and little jackets, and bling heels. So unleash your inner diva and indulge in some major sparkle!!!

Sunday wishlist

There are so many great fall styles right now. I really am dying for a few of them. Oh what I would currently do for a cape, or some lace up oxfords. The over the knee socks are adorable, and satchels, oh my!
all of this is from asos.com, check it. xoxo

Thrift..deal or steal?



Okay,
So I love Long Beach, don't get me wrong. I am just highly disappointed with their thrift and vintage stores. I really have no clue why they are even called thrift stores. To me, they aren't even in the discount category. For example, today I bought a plain hanes sweatshirt at walmart, for $5, at the good will it would be the same price, but used, dingy, and dirty. Most Goodwill stores have a color on sale every day, for %50 off, if the item has that color tag you get the sale price. In Long Beach, they don't do this at all. So lately I've seen a couple dresses I like, but i refuse to pay $8.00 for a thrift store dress, sorry. The "Out of the Closet" thrift store is a bigger joke, almost amusing really. The average price of a dress is $50.00, pants are $10.oo and up. Insane. I live by 4th street's "vintage row", and still try to figure out how these stores afford the rent. They are adorable, and I have gone in to them several times, and rarely witness a purchase. The average "vintage" dress is about $80.00, skirts $50-60. There is a really cute baby shop, where ONE body suite is $22.00.
two stores I would recommended would be live feed, and the assistance league thrift store, both on 4th street. They are not super cheap, but better then the others.
I really miss Pomona's thrift store shopping, where you can find real bargains.
I think I have been to every thrift store in the area, if you know one that meets the definition of thrift, please let me know.

Stepping Feet




On Saturday night I seriously needed to get out. I went to Hermosa Beach to check out this DMB cover band, they played at saint rocke. The venue was awesome, beautiful really. It was really fun to meet people who love Dave, that alone made me really happy inside. It felt a little weird seeing a band play their music, and I automatically was thinking of how off it was.. but I would for sure go again for the environment and to be surrounded by such lovely people! This is me Saturday night, I am starting to really enjoy the bangs. I sat at the bar most the time, and still woke up to a throbbing knee.
Thats my baby Coco.

Bolthouse farms

So lately Ive tried to start thinking about whats going into my body. Very slowly lol. I have seen these drinks for a while, and a friend mentioned them on her blog as well. Typically high protein drinks are just yuck, but this one is really good. I have only tried the vanilla chai tea, but next I am going to pick up the mocha, it looks yummy! I have also been drinking coconut water, from naked. This is gross, but apparently its so good for you, I attempt to down it. I love the fresh juices at whole foods and mothers market but they are so damn $$$..
