I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Labor Day weekend! I spent mine listening and dancing along to Jack Johnson at the Santa Barbara Bowl for his From Here to Now to You Tour, having movie nights with the family, and lounging poolside with my man once he returned home from Washington. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my free time with some of my favorite people. I really just can't wait for my hectic schedule to finally calm down! There's just one more HUGE event left this summer...my best friend's wedding! This weekend can't come soon enough!

Holey Moley

There's nothing like taking a relaxing stroll around my favorite flea market on a Sunday afternoon to wind down this crazy weekend. As always, I walked away with some awesome finds including the deer antlers pictured below to decorate my room, some more succulents to add to my home, and some other small knick knacks that I thought were cute. Make sure you check out one of my older blog posts for tips on flea market shopping (HERE).

Pretty in Pink and Pearls

If you're in search for yummy Chinese food, Monterey Park is the way to go. You almost can't go wrong with any of the places there. Since the city is saturated with Chinese restaurants, the portions are overwhelming and the prices are super competitive and low. No joke...you can typically feed a family of 4 for $50 or less and still leave with leftovers! Anyway, my family and I drove all the way there to get our grub on at this dim sum place and we all left extremely content. When we were on our way to our next destination, we passed by this kind of cute and kind of awkward fountain. I figured I'd snap some shots and post the outfit on the blog.

My outfit was put together with this pink 'Cecelia Kimono' from For Love & Lemons in mind. It's such a girlie girl piece of clothing with the bow details on the sleeves, the sweet pale pink color, the whimsical flowy fabric, and the asymmetrical hemline. I paired the long kimono with some high-waisted short shorts and a crop top to balance out the whole outfit. It's really all about playing with proportions to create the illusion of longer legs. Well I hope you guys enjoy the post.
