A night in Kensington: My man and I shared a sandwich at Clem's bottle shop, shopped around for great beers, then saw the German movie The Silence at the Ken theater. Highly recommended crime drama!

have a great week!

Newness Lately

My latest purchases. After every winter in which I think that greyscale is the end-all-be-all of my fashion existence, spring comes and I get super excited about colors. whoa. So I got some new crisp white kicks that will go perfect with basically everything, and some sandals, because I donated all mine last fall thinking I would never need them again. I also have succumbed finally to the neon trend, opting for a bandeau that gives just a hint of highlighter under muscle tees. In the center is a floral blazer by Lush, a necessity that will be perfect for nice dinners, Easter brunch, a meeting, etc. Lastly, a crazily marked down Trouve kimono thingy that I know I will be wearing constantly this summer.

My boyfriend was kind enough to give me a bunch of his awesome T-shirts that were too small for him. So like 3 months later now I'm finally doing something with them. I have like 5 more that I don't know what to do with (ideas anyone?). On the left I made one into a crop top tank, the other a classic muscle tee. I have been known to take scissors to all my clothing (sometimes with disastrous results) so I was happy that this time these shirts are wearable!

Peace out beezies

After the rain

At times San Diego can feel like this huge and boring city, but really there are all kinds of amazing places to see, and my guy and I have made a commitment to get out and do it all! So this night we got out and headed to Izakaya Maza for some drinks and some japanese comfort food. It's a casual establishment (Izakaya=japanese pub) so I opted for simple staples in my wardrobe with a fun lip to take the boring out of it.
