All that glitters is gold

It's the Monday after the dreaded LSAT, and despite it being a Monday, the sky seems a little brighter, the birds a little bit chirpier (is that a word? I dunno, I don't care), and everything a little more golden. Now, the wait for results. But in the mean time, some sparkles and gold to match my feelings. Happy Monday, people.

DIY glittery ankle boots OMG!

...about free reading, comfy knits, a glass of vino, and an LSAT-free mind.

I mean, who's surprised. Speaking of J Crew, how cool are these pants? And I really want a new trench for the treacherous winters we have here in So Cal. I'll also take this belt, and this bracelet. Heck, might as well toss in these babies while you're at it.

Change

Life's been so cray cray these past few months. Between LSAT's, law school apps., work, and training for a couple of half marathons, I feel like I haven't had time to catch my breath. My nails are even unpainted!!! What has this world come to? But I do it to myself. I love the rush and the intensity and the feeling of accomplishing something. I get bored too easily, which can be both good and bad; I like to see it as good. But I'm ready for a new adventure, some travel, and perhaps a new home in a new city. Cue law school. These next couple of months will be huge: waiting for LSAT results, and then waiting to hear back from law schools. I'm nervy, anxious, and a wee bit scared, but mostly, I'm excited. My fingers are crossed and my head a mess, but I'm ready, bring.it.on.

Happy Friday, peeps.

Weekend recap

This weekend was almost too fun (besides 8 hours of LSAT class). After weeks of planning Bellie's first Bee-day, her party on Saturday was a complete success. It's crazy how fast a year can fly by! Then I got to celebrate Casey's graduation from SFSU; we've been friends since first grade...also weird when you can start using phrases like "we've been friends for over A DECADE". When did that happen? And a day on the yacht was just what the doctor ordered on Sunday. This weekend made me realize just how many incredible people I have in my life. I'm beyond blessed and so thankful.

Beautiful Bellie turning 1. My best friends.

Celebrating graduations with my oldest friend. And a day spent sea-side with my favorite boy.

How did I get so lucky?

The Weeknd

I haven't been this excited about an artist in a REALLY long time. This guy, The Weeknd, is a 20 year old r&b artist from Toronto with the voice of an angel. For the past week, he's all that Kevin and I have been listening to. He's so freaking smooth and I just want the world to know about him, save for the radio stations that over-play songs and artists. He's like a mix of Drake and the Dream, with a touch of Jesus; 3 of my favorite people. Please do yourselves a favor and listen to his entire mixtape here. My favorites include: the morning and the party and the after party.

*Le sigh*

A dash of glitter

Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean all the time, I just want a little sparkle in my life.

This cake is all that I want, forever.

And I'm thinking of making these diy glitter hats, for like, every day wear or something.

Or maybe I'll make my own glitter tonight instead of making dinner. All that you need is salt, food coloring and an oven, as shown here. And considering this is pretty much all that's in my kitchen right now, it seems like a good idea. I swear "go grocery shopping" has been on my to-do list for apx. 5-45 days now.

Sparkle on, you beautiful people.

Nautical-inspired

I'm going to an event on a yacht this weekend, and am always excited for any chance to wear a nautical-inspired 'fit. I recently got some new boat shoes and found the perfect rope necklace from H&M for our 4th of July spent seaside, which'll be perfect for this weekend. But I'll still take everything below, if not, the sailboat alone shall suffice.

Happy weekend, maties.
