ARTFUL

“she never looked nice. she looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”

- Rainbow Rowell

I am proud to say that I contributed to this artwork of Starbucks cups. Today's post features Ms. Kay Why - one of the most artistic people I know who continues to inspire me. This girl’s got style. I have more of a simple, classic, everyday-wear kind of style, but this girl can rock anything, from preppy to trendy to chic. She’s starting her very own blog soon so stay tuned.

I apologize for the lack of posts. Life kind of has a way of distracting me sometimes. Here's another Coachellaesque style for you guys. I hope you're all having a laid back Monday :)

FIELD OF FLORAL

COACHELLA INSPIRED Part 1:
This year is going be my first time attending the ever-so-popular and ever-so-expensive Coachella. So naturally, all of my shopping trips have been Coachella inspired. This time, without the boyfriend around to be the photographer, I've taken selfies to a whole new level: self-photo shoots. Think of it as professional selfies. It was actually quite fun and I enjoyed prancing around in the open fields without a bother. I must say though playing both photographer and model was challenging and got tiring towards the end. I realized I enjoyed being the photographer way more than the model. I give props to models because they make it look much easier than it is.

A SATTER DAY

 

A Satter Day: A day where you're free to go wherever you'd like. A day to bask in the sun. A day to explore. It seems like days like these are hard to come by now. As we grow older, it feels like the stuff we have to do is a never-ending list and it just consumes us. So I like to take a break every now and then to drop everything and just go do a few of my favorite things. Things like walking and exploring while easily getting sidetracked by sale and coffee signs. Things like taking deep inhalations of the free smoke-free sea air. And especially things like brunching with big coffee cups. Can't forget about brunch. It's kind of like meditating. On that happy note.. I hope you had a great week. Don't forget to take a satter day.

It was a rainy day here in San Diego today and I wanted to tackle it military and wolf style. It hasn't rained much here so I fully intended on enjoying the pitter patter even so much as to bringing my jogging gear to work. But then I chickened out because it got too windy. #fridayfail
