New blooms and my new summer uniform

Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce my new favorite outfit and my baby plants!!!

I can't even begin to describe how perfect this two piece set is!! The top is a halter top with two different ties, so just imagine two bows on the back :) The bottom piece is a skort (something I haven't owned since elementary school). I tore it open as soon as I got it and wore it for the rest of the day while gardening. It's from Beginning boutique and the reason why I am obsessed with their store now.

Click here to go to Beginning Boutique's online store (scroll down to see me on their homepage!!)

Hey there!

Here are some new sunflowers that just started sprouting! I found out this week that it's extremely important to use ONLY organic seeds! Seeds that are not organic usually have the pesticide "neonicotinoid". Neonicotinoids are an insecticide that have a similar chemical make up to nicotine. If your seeds arnt organic, they probably have Neonicotinoids in them, which means if your planting "bee friendly" plants but they're not organic, they're actually killing the bees!!!

I had to toss out some seeds I had that weren't organic and start all over with organic seeds: 

These seeds might not be organic, but they were a present from the boy :)

I got the day off on Friday so Spencer and I decided to take a morning walk through Disneyland! I'm excited to see the park is planting wildflowers! (Good for bees)

Taking a stroll around the castle ❤️

Dressing up for Disneyland is always half the fun! Wildfox is usually my go to for Disney. Their clothes are quirky, comfy, and usually the perfect pastel colors for Disneyland!

 The tights I wore were another easy go to: DKNY thigh high look a likes! If your a shorter lady like myself, you know how difficult it gets to find the perfect thigh high that stays put and doesn't squeeze the wrong areas. Just toss on a jersey dress and bam! Done.


Sweatshirt: Wildfox "I'm really a unicorn"
Tights: DKNY
Boots: Enzo Angiolini 




I win!!!

Since I live so close... We usually go home to eat lunch and nap haha I wasn't sleepy so I did another outfit change: 

Dress: free people 


Ciao ciao,

Flower power

While it doesn't feel like winter ever started... It's finally ending. Spring started on the 20th and I couldn't be happier.

Speaking of happy... Spencer and I dropped by the happiest place on earth on the last day or winter:

Even the ducks seem to be excited for spring 🌸


Anyways, back to Spring... With coachella coming up I decided to make my own flower crown. Flower crowns are popping up everywhere in online stores, but they're so easy (and fun!) to make at home! Clare, Clinton, and I made our own the other day taking inspiration from Lana Del Rey and flower girl Los Angeles (http://flowergirllosangeles.com). 

Want to make your own? First pick a color theme. Head over to your local craft store and pick out at least three different flowers (different sizes and shades of colors) and one type of leaf or vine. Next you need flower wire and some green ribbon. Size the wire around your head to measure the size of the crown (leave some extra room). Next, start to lay down your bigger flowers and tie them down with your ribbon. I wove some ivy around my crown first, then layered the flowers down by size. 

Clare went for bigger flowers for a different effect; 

I couldn't wait for Coachella to wear mine, so I wore it on the first day of Spring 😊


I also started growing some tiny plants on my balcony so I can start to use fresh herbs when I'm cooking! 
Here's to new beginnings!!

Thursday marked my seventh day with tiny tea as well. Here's my progress! Day 1, day 3 and day 7!


I'm so excited!! Time for beach time all the time!! Get ready for some new beach posts ❤️

Last night was the Wolfgang Puck dinner. 
Every single course was unbelievable! When I get more pictures I'll do a post just on the dinner but for now here's some dessert 😋



I wore a flowy crop top from Brandy Melville and my favorite Clover Canyon pants (below).

More food pictures to come

Ciao ciao,

Hair appreciation post

If you haven't already seen… Dolce and Gabbana had their models done up with magical pastel colored, braided, and flower adorned hair for their Spring/Summer 2014 runway. I'm ready for Spring time xoxo










Some more hair-spiration: 





This one (below) is actually one of my favorites. I just need to learn how to do the hair roses.. 



I'm pretty sure my love of pastel hair with flower headbands started when I first saw my favorite movie: 
Marie Antoinette



What hair styles are you going to experiment with this Spring?

Fall Fashion: hat and hair accessories

So it may still be scorching hot here in LA (umm hello, it's September...), but I'm getting extremely excited for fall fashion, especially for hair accessories!!

Headbands and turbans have made a strong comeback, giving us all the opportunity to channel our inner rock star or Gatsby girl whenever we want. Free People and Nordstrom have vibrant fabric headbands in a variety of textures to help take your basic outfit to the next level this fall.


Big floppy hats are always in for fall. Tie your hair into braids or a low messy bun before pulling a big floppy crochet or felt hat on. Or let your hair dry naturally to create an effortlessly cool-chick look. 

   Felt bucket hats (or Cloche hats), like the ones seen at the Kate Spade New York Fall 2013 fashion show are best worn with a low bun or smooth, styled hair for a preppier look (we are talking about Kate Spade NY here). Take a cue from Blair Waldorf and rock your inner upper east sider this Fall.


The queen of hat trends for Fall 2013? Beanies. Say goodbye to bad hair days and hello to easy stylish comfort. Take inspiration from Tracy Reese's Fall 2013 show (on the left) and Free Peoples new beanies (on the right, on model Karlie Kloss). 


Urban Outfitters has a wide selection of beanies ranging in style (and low in price!!). Here are a few of my favorites from Urban: 



My all time favorite beanies?? Wildfox Couture double layered White Label beanies! (Shocker). 
Spencer gave me this one as an early Birthday Present: 
(It's way too hot to wear it yet though!)

One headpiece to store this fall and winter? FLOWER HEADBANDS. Yes. I love Lana Del Rey, I love roses, I love the idea of having flowers in your hair, but flower headbands are not for Fall and Winter! 

(Awwwwwwwwwwwwww)

Not unless all the flowers are black ;)
Only then is it ok.
