I've become one of those bloggers. I blog irregularly and when I do, I bring up the fact that I need to start blogging more frequently. Yup...that'd be me.

Every February and early March we get the prettiest blossoms here in the valley.  I always loved seeing them as a kid.  They made the winter look a little less gloomy.  I think that on cloudy days they look even more amazing.  Anyway, I spotted these blooming trees on the way back from the city one day.  I love pink and anything that looks like cotton candy so I couldn't help but ham it up in front of this row of trees ;)

This sweater is another piece that belonged to my mom.  I think it's from the 90s or late 80s...I'm not sure.  But it's really soft and in amazing condition.  It used to have shoulder pads but I cut them out because I thought that was a little much lol.

Have a great weekend you guys <3

I looked at my calendar today and I could not believe it was the last day of November.  The days are just flying by.

These photos were taken by my talented photographer friend Robert Sosa.  Follow him on Instagram here.  These were shot in Sonoma about a month ago I think.  It was such a hot day...which is quite the contrast to how chilly it was today.  I miss the heat so much.

I've worn this outfit a couple of times already.  What I usually do during the winter if I don't have a lot of time to think about what to wear in the morning or I'm in a rush, I just wear an all black outfit and a different coat or cardigan.  I also wear different accessories.  You can put together so many different looks with just a basic black t shirt and black pants or jeans.

Also, I'm wearing a new lipstick from Tarte.  I've never worn any of their products before but I really liked this color.  And I love that they're cruelty free.  I'm slowly transitioning and making sure all of my beauty purchases are vegan.

Even though I've passed through this beautiful bridge hundreds of times, I only have a few photos of myself on the vista point.  And those photos are over 10 years old.  So we took some quick photos on a foggy (and windy) afternoon.  It was a beautiful day in the city.

Have a wonderful week <3

Those Hot August Nights

Quilted faux leather purse
Urban Decay 1993 lipstick
Forever 21 layered choker

Two weekends ago, Amber and I went to the Gravenstein Apple Fair in Sebastopol, Ca.  Both of us had always wanted to go but for one reason or another never went.  Usually the fair would coincide with Hot August Nights in Reno, NV.  HAN is my favorite car show event ever, so I'd have to miss this cute fair every year...for about 7 years in a row.

I'm really happy to have gone this year and experienced it.  It was definitely a different crowd than the rowdier one in Sonoma County.  It seemed a lot more old fashioned.

Anyway, we took some outfit pics against this infamous pink wall at Screamin' Mimi's.  I wore one of my many HAN t shirts.  This one happens to be from the children's department.  Women's car show t shirts are never as cool looking as the men's or boy's t shirts.  I thought this one would look better because it's cropped and the graphics are on the right spot.
