Well, me and my husband had the opportunity to go visit my family in sunny Southern California for our year anniversary. We had so much fun!! We just flew down for the weekend for a church thing, so there wasn't a ton of time to do things but I managed to fit in thrift store shopping, going to LA fashion district (go if your in LA, it is so fun to look at all the cheap shops!!!) and hike to a fun creek. Plus, I got to see my nieces and nephews which is always good for my soul. |
Above is some of my huge family!! I'm from a family of 8 kids, so we are missing 2 of my siblings. It's difficult to get everyone together at the same time. I'm the youngest in my family, and I always swore that when I turned 18 I would move far, far away. Now, that I've gotten a little older I get along with my siblings much better and it really is hard on me to live in another state. I hope someday to live a little closer to Calimesa!! The creek is up Forest Falls, and is a fun little hike with some swimming at the end. We had a blast building dams and soaking in the sun.
Above is me and my niece, Lilly. Isn't she the cutest? She is a funny little animal, that is for sure.
Speaking of animals... My husband totally killed a rattle snake while we were at my parents house!!! Scary!!!!!!!!!! My husband got very manly and killed it with a shovel. So, be careful when you're walking in the weeds!! I'd never seen a rattle snake before and hope to never again.

Well, hello there! So, I wore this to work, but you could easily wear it to church or out with friends. My shoes are Chanel and I'm not going to tell you how expensive they were, because it was stupid of me to buy shoes that expensive. However, I was young and didn't have to pay rent yet so I thought that was a great idea to spend that much on shoes!! The skirt is from J Crew and was $15 (which is an amazing deal for J Crew, that store is pricey but sometimes worth it). My shirt is Lucky Brand, and was $9. My necklace was a birthday gift, and it is a great gift because I wear it all the time (even though it does make a lot of noise when I walk).
My tip of the day? Don't be afraid of bright colors!! It's summer and who wants to wear grey, black, and white every single day? Try a new color on and you'll be surprised at how many compliments you will receive. Pair a bright colored item with a neutral and you can't go wrong. Thanks for reading!!
