H&M Blush Perforated Biker Jacket

So, I know I disappeared for a little while and gave a brief explanation to it saying I’d be back the following month… Well, it’s June 9th and I’m nine days overdue for my June post. Bad blogger, bad. Sorry all! If it makes you feel any better, we still have yet to finish unpacking. We’re maybe… 50% done? Yeah, a LOT of stuff… Anyway, I managed to steal the computer away from the hubby to do a post 🙂 Are these Vegas pictures? No. Are these birthday pictures? No. That is how behind I am. I thought I’d login and do those posts only to realize I’m about a week or so behind on even those! Tsk tsk.

A few weeks ago… okay, a month or two ago… we went on a little date to one of our favorite San Diego date locations – Balboa Park. It was actually one of our date spots early on at the beginning of our relationship. We’ve been here countless times yet each time there is always something new to explore 🙂 whether it’s a new museum exhibit, street performer or renovation – there is always something new and fun to see.

…and then we finished off our date with cocktails and yummy food from another favorite – Suite & Tender at the Se Hotel (also the locale of our bridal suite!)

What To Wear

Excuses, excuses, excuses…

First off, I was shocked when I logged in today to see that my number of visitors has stayed consistent – thank you all for still being interested and visiting and I apologize for not updating or posting in so long. You all deserve an explanation…

Life is hectic – as it always is and always has been. This is a little different though…. see, we’re moving. A career opportunity for advancement presented itself and my husband and I decided it’s the right place at the right time. We’re newlyweds, in our mid twenties, and a couple of years away from expanding our family. We’ve grown up here and although we’ve traveled near and far, it was always something that we wanted to do and now is the time to do it.

We’re moving to The City. Well, the big, bad, west coast “city” that is 🙂 … I love saying that because it sounds like we’re from a small town when we’re really not. In actuality – we’re moving from California’s second largest city to its number one largest. San Diego → Los Angeles. Although they’re both big, boy are they different… we’re looking forward to the good and the bad. We’ve both frequently visited (a couple of times a month?) but living there will be new and is definitely exciting.

So, with the combination of future home hunting, planning, packing and moving – I’m sorry May hasn’t been an active blogging month but I promise come June, I’ll be back at it with lots of fun posts (including our trip to Vegas a few weeks back and pics from my Birthday a couple of weeks ago ;)).

Bear with me!! Xox,

Happy Easter, all!! I hope you all had a fun-filled weekend!

I apologize for disappearing last week, I was in Vegas for 5 days and life’s been hectic ever since.

This is out of character for me – posting outfit photos so soon after wearing it. I’m usually a few weeks behind; aren’t you proud of me? I actually have about two weeks worth of photos including from Vegas that should have been posted prior to this one but since it was a holiday 🙂 I didn’t want to wait.

I got this adorable dress at the H&M in Cesar’s Forum Shoppes. It’s by far the biggest and best H&M I’ve ever been to. 3 stories of H&M goodies, oh my! The shoes? ShoeDazzle. I was so impressed when I received them in the mail. These photos do not do them justice. They’re beautiful, the cut is so sexy, they fit perfectly and are such a fun mix of muted nude with a pop of neon, highlighter yellow! I will definitely be wearing the heck out of these this spring and summer. Plus they were only forty dollars including shipping!! I <3 ShoeDazzle 😀

Beauty

Urban Decay Naked

Remember this shopping trip? I didn’t really mention what I bought but part of my purchases… I loaded up on some Urban Decay goodies including their cream blush, lipstick, gloss and shadow palette. unfortunately, the cream blush (aka Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint) didn’t work for me. I tried applying it with a brush, sponge and my fingers but it didn’t seem to glide on at all. It did however glide OFF my foundation – no bueno. I personally think it would be great for those (lucky few) who don’t wear foundation. The lipstick was good but the lipgloss (aka Lip Junkie in Peroxide) was amazing. I love how it tingles your lips, but doesn’t burn like Lip Venom, and makes them look so plump and luscious.

Luscious, right? Maybe? 😉

I’ve also been in LOVE with Urban Decay’s Naked Palette. I’ve literally worn some kind of combination of it every day since I laid my little hands on it. It’s seriously perfect.

I had a photo of my eye makeup to post but I’m not so crazy about it now… so I’ll spare you all 🙂 just know that in every post after this one, there’s a 90% chance I’m wearing shadow from this palette lol

Breakfast at Neiman’s

Ok, more like brunch.

Like I’ve mentioned before, shopping with my Mom is one of my favorite activities and there’s no better start to a day of shopping with her than brunch. If there’s a Neiman Marcus at the mall we’re shopping at, even better. Not just for their drool worthy array of wearable art but also for their amazing little rooftop gem, Neiman Marcus’ Zodiac Restaurant. I remember coming here for lunch after early mornings of shopping with my Mom when I was just a little girl 🙂 The view is incredible, the food is delicious and the accessibility to beautiful fashion just steps away is unmatched.

(I’ve included more shots of the Sam Edelman Lorissa’s and my crackle nail polish as promised 🙂 )
