City of Color

Earlier this week, I spent my day all over LA running some errands. So when I had some time for a break during my hectic schedule, I stopped by Amoeba Music to pick up a couple records. This place is absolutely amazing!  It's pretty much heaven to anyone that appreciates music! You're guaranteed to find any CD or vinyl record your little heart may desire. And to top it off, they occasionally have live performances there! I've only been to a couple shows, but it's always a fun time.

I honestly always feel a little overwhelmed when I enter the building because the place is ginormous and there's just so much to sift through to find one of the thousands of hidden gems there. Luckily the people working there are always happy to help me find exactly what I'm looking for.

I put together this outfit based on the types of errands I had to run. I had meetings to attend where I had to look somewhat professional (in a stylish and not conservative way). Since I wasn't literally running around, I opted for some cute stilettos rather than some flats. To add another level of instant class and chicness to my outfit, I layered my casual tank top and denim shorts with this printed blazer. At first I couldn't quite put my finger on what I loved about this blazer, but then I realized that it reminds me of something my Thai grandma would have worn. This print is so old Asian lady and I adore it!

To be honest, I was a little iffy about my outfit choice at first because my blazer was just a tad bit longer than my shorts from the front, but in the end who cares?!?! I felt comfortable in it, which is really all that matters. I hope you guys enjoy my look as much as I enjoyed wearing it.

All Work and No Play?

An old accounting professor of mine from UCSB gave me a call about a month ago asking if I could help get my firm to present one of our case studies to a group of UCSB students along with other CPA and Law professionals in Camarillo at a Country Club. After the arrangements were made, my professor invited me to attend the event. The thought that came to mind was how could I not attend?!?! I get to spend time with my professor and students, and I also get to go shopping! It's a win-win situation! For those not from the area: Camarillo, CA equals SHOPPING at OUTLETS, which equals a content Natasha. I mean...what girl doesn't love a good bargain?!?! So after work today, I went on a little shopping spree to reward myself for starting this blog lol. Who says that you can't have a little fun when working? Definitely not I!
