Every time I visit my big sis in San Diego, we like to play tourist! We'll go from one touristy attraction to the next, day after day. On this particular day, we strolled around Balboa Park, admired the beautiful gardens & architecture, and snapped some pictures before heading off to a delicious dinner at Fleming's Steakhouse.

An achromatic color scheme, which means "without color", is probably the easiest for anyone to pull off. No need to hassle about whether or not this colored top pairs well with those colored shoes because black, white, and grey always pair well together! It's a foolproof way of getting dressed. I know on days that I'm feeling lazy and uncreative, I can just simple throw together a monochromatic black outfit or an achromatic black & white outfit in little to no time and still look chic.

I stayed warm this weekend in my new favorite blazer from Joe's Jeans! It's made from 100% wool, it's oversized, it goes with everything, and most importantly....it was on sale!!! Hurry and get yours before this perfect staple piece is sold out! I'm honestly obsessed with mine and I couldn't resist going back online and ordering another one in 'heather charcoal' too. 

What started as a simple and innocent  one piece purchase quickly led to a destructive shopping spree. There's nothing like going on a shopping spree to lift your spirits when the weather is too sad and depressing to go out...but I have to admit that I may have gotten a little carried away. I just couldn't resist all of the 'End of Season' sales! Anyway, I'd like to give a big thank you to my credit cards for helping me get through this stormy weekend! I owe you big time...literally! Lol

Even though the skies were nothing but dark grey clouds thundering and crying, I was on cloud nine! I bought some coats, leather jackets, jeans, and my absolute favorite scores...4 pairs of Jenni Kayne D'Orsay flats! I can't wait to wear all of these items on the blog! Hope y'all also had a GREYT Weekend!

Although I'm really not a sports type of gal, I did end up watching the Super Bowl last night and I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Broncos get their butts kicked by The Seahawks. No exaggeration... the final score was 43 - 8! I mean it was a brutal butt kicking!!! I honestly don't know anything about the teams but I was rooting for The Seahawks because I'm obsessed with all things Seattle related. I even want to eventually purchase a summer home in Seattle lol. I visited Seattle for a work trip a couple summers ago and I instantly fell in love with everything there--the food, the people, the abundance of music, the art, etc. Unfortunately I despise the rain so I think I'll only be able to handle summers there when I retire hahaha. 

Anyway, it started to actually feel like it was finally winter in California yesterday. I was freezing but I luckily I stayed warm in my favorite sherpa-lined blanket vest from MinkPink during the BBQ. I simply threw it over a comfy linen long sleeved t-shirt from Joe's Jeans and tucked that into a pair of light washed Dittos Jeans. I finished the look with a pair of chestnut brown booties and tons of Vanessa Mooney. 

Cheers to a great Monday!
