Downtown LAce

Oversized Chiffon Shirt: Quirky Circus

Lace Dress: Urban Outfitters

Boots: Seychelles

Belt: Vintage

Hat: LF Stores

Horse Necklace: Thrifted

Bracelets: Vanessa Mooney

Rings: Jenny Bird

This is my winter outfit - a tiny little lace dress with an oversized chiffon top belted over, boots with over the knee socks, and a hat. I bet you're all jealous of winter in LA huh? I mean...not to rub it in or anything but winter in LA is just oh so perfect. Lol. While most of the country is experiencing this "polar vortex" of below freezing temps, most Angelenos are still wearing shorts and dresses.

Don't hate me because I'm warm...just come to LA to enjoy the perfect weather too!

Side note: I just tried this amazing Peruvian restaurant in downtown LA, Mo-Chica, with my cousin where we ordered the most out there dishes (in our opinion) on the menu. We tried the Estofado de Alpaca & the Colita de Rez, which are alpaca and oxtail. Let me just say that the alpaca dish was phenomenal! A new year means trying new things...including all different foods!

Takin' It SLO

Life has been moving so quickly, so I slowed it down with a mini day trip to San Luis Obispo (SLO) to relax and clear my head. I started the day off with breakfast at Paula's Pancake house in Solvang and then continued my trip up to SLO to visit some friends.

I kept my outfit simple and neutral with a white dress, brown knee-high socks, brown boots, and a brown asymmetrical cardigan so I could showcase my awesome new and colorful Stela 9 backpack that I just got! I'm so obsessed with it! The colors, the patterns, and the soft leather...it all just makes for the perfect little backpack! I used it to carry around Mr. Milo's and my water, food, and snacks while we were strolling the beach, shopping, and hiking. All in all, it was a great day trip for Mr. Milo and I.

I'm Stumped

There's no better way to enjoy Portland, OR (aka Beervana) than to drink wayyy more beer than you know you should with some of your favorite people...and that's exactly what I did! I spent 8 wonderful days in "Stumptown" exploring the beautiful city, eating my heart out, and drinking my liver to death.

From the moment I arrived, I hit the ground running and took full advantage of the surprisingly perfect sunny weather there. I roamed the streets, parks, bridges, and so much more. Since this was my first trip to Portland, I visited tons of touristy sites (pictured below). But by 5pm every day, my trip turned into a beerfest with my friends, my cousin and her grad school buddies.

I left Portland with a crazy hangover, a gnarly cough and cold, and 5 more lbs but it was all offset by the many new memories and friends I've made (including the most amazing 71 year old lady I met on my flight to PDX)! And to top it off...I even learned how to use public transportation!

I definitely can't wait to head back and visit again soon!

Enjoyed quite a few Chainbreakers at Deschutes Brewery

Tried the Mexican Hot Chocolate Doughnut (which was spicy but surprisingly tasty) and the Maple Bacon Bar (which was just heavenly because bacon is heavenly)
