Balboa Park

I feel like a happier/healthier person! 

I feel like I'm slowly getting to a point in my life where I'm beginning to truly embrace my body. The feeling is unexplainable. Lol, all I can say is curves on Curves on CURVES!!!

In case you were wondering, I shot this ootd at nowhere other than Balboa Park, which in my opinion is by far one of the "go to" places in the San Fernando Valley!! You have to visit this place whenever you're in town.  It's great for birthday parties, fishing,  baby showers, & of course exercising!

Skirts Rule!

I have to confess to you guys that I have a hard time wearing skirts! For some reason I feel awkward in them or I struggled to style them. 

One of my MANY goals this year is to start wearing more & more skirts, so I played around with a few pieces on my ASOS Fashion Finder account and I came up with these 3 looks to inspire both you and I to start rocking our midis & maxis!

Don't forget to take more risks at adding in wild & bold & classic prints with your skirts! xoxo

A few pieces to wear with a skirt:

- Crop Top

-Casual Tshirt

- Denim Button Up

- Light Sweater

3rd Street Promenade

So I attended a styling event at Cotton On's Santa Monica store yesterday evening.  

I honestly did not get involved with the blogger event,  but I did search the store after hearing that everything was 30% off.

The blogger event was basically where 3 bloggers walk around the store & help customers style their outfits. So yeah, here are some photos  took in the store.
