After being on the road and sleeping in 4 different cities during the past 15 days, I've been dying to crawl into my own bed...and maybe even pass out for 2 days straight to recuperate. Who knew vacation was going to be so exhausting?! lol

Even though I was exhausted from my trip to Portland, I couldn't wait to head down to San Diego with my friends and visit my sister! I was home for a total of 26 hours, which was just long enough to unpack and repack my bags. After 4+ hours of LA traffic, we finally made it and celebrated America's birthday in the most All American way! We drank some booze, ate some burgers & hotdogs, and played on the boat all day! Eddie and I really couldn't have asked for a better 4th of July with better people!!!

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).

Capped It Off

Eddie and I capped off our Labor Day weekend by throwing a BBQ get together for a bunch of high school buddies. We decided to grill our usual go-to favorite...carne asada because you can never really go wrong with some carne asada, guacamole, chips, and salsa! We spent the day playing Cards Against Humanity (which is like an inappropriate version of Apples to Apples lol), eating and drinking, swimming, hot tubbing, and eating some more. It was the perfect ending to a perfect weekend with my love.

I wore the newest addition to my closet...this amazing One Teaspoon blazer (thanks to my amazingly generous aunt). I am so obsessed with it!!! The colors, the prints, the cut...it's all just so so so gorgeous! I've only had it for a few days but I know I'm going to be prancing around town in this piece quite often! It's just such a versatile piece that can either be dressed up or down. I decided to keep my look pretty casual for the BBQ with a simple white silk tank top, cutoff denim shorts, the blazer, and some beige colored peep-toe booties. I guess the heels and the silk weren't the most casual but it was meant to be a laid back look.

I capped off my outfit with a leather baseball cap, which has been a favorite accessory of mine lately. Not only does it just look cute with everything, it also provides shade for my face. It's a total win win for me. Below are some tips for buying and wearing this leather cap trend.

Tips:

1) Buy a solid colored leather cap because they're easy to incorporate into any outfit. They add an instant touch of chicness and sleekness to any look. Note: I personally like solid accessories because I'm not really a pro at mixing prints. But if you are, by all means go crazy with printed and embellished caps!

2) You can style it with something feminine like a short dress or miniskirt to contrast the sweetness with some edge.

3) You can cap off your casual t-shirt and jeans and instantly create a chic look. I personally like to add heels to most of my outfits (unless I'm running around all day) so when my clothes are more casual, I counter it with lots of accessories like layers of jewelry and heels.
