Hey boos. Happy Monday. I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today is the last day of August and damn has it cooled down! I left the house today in a summer outfit and was wearing this by the end. I have to say that I am excited for fall dressing … summer dressing with humidity just means wearing the least amount of clothes you can get away with while keeping in mind basic decency. That being said, it will be fun to play around with outfits a bit and get creative. Don’t get me wrong though, Summer will always have my heart.

Ei amores. Feliz segunda-feira. Espero que todos tenham tido um bom fim de semana. Hoje é o último dia de agosto e caramba, já esfriou! Saí de casa hoje com uma roupa de verão e estava usando isso no final. Devo dizer que estou animada para vestir roupas de outono ... vestir roupas de verão com umidade significa apenas usar a menor quantidade de roupas que você puder, tendo em mente a decência básica. Dito isso, será divertido brincar um pouco com as roupas e ser criativo. Não me interpretem mal, o verão sempre terá meu coração.

My friend Alli came all the way from North Hollywood to spend the fourth with me in Long Beach. We were originally going to head down to Laguna Beach, which is where she grew up, but her mom had house guests and there wasn't going to be room for us. Instead she came to me and it was so nice. She said she hadn't been to Long Beach since she was seven and didn't have good memories so she was pleasantly surprised. The day got off to a great start when she magically found a parking spot right in front of my apartment. Then we headed down to the beach where we walked, talked, and of course, people-watched. All that sunshine got us scheming about dinner and we ended up going to Saint & Second which was so delicious! The cocktails too! After that we headed back to my place and opened a bottle of wine and watched some of the fireworks on the roof before heading down to the beach again to dance around in the sand and see them a little closer. Such a nice day ...

Good afternoon babes! I was supposed to have today off but I got a call right after yoga this morning that someone needs tonight covered. Luckily I didn't have any plans until later tonight so that works out pretty well. And now I get to postpone my free day, which I'm not mad at. The Grand Prix was in Long Beach this weekend which meant it was really busy at work and parking was almost impossible. I worked from 2-midnight on Saturday and then 8:30-4:30 Sunday so I was exhausted last night. Nothing too exciting to update you on.

cheers

I am trying so hard to blog more! I have all these ideas for posts floating around my head but I realize I should just get in the habit of posting, whether it's well-thought out or not. My goal really is to post once a day - so you can see I'm slacking. I don't want to put too much pressure on written content though. My focus is on the photos. I've been strangely tired this week however, which has stood in my way a bit. Other than going on a long bike ride along the coast, going out to dinner and drinks with some coworkers, and running some errands, I've primarily spent the week at home. Last night I fell asleep at 8 pm and I still woke up groggy. I've been cooking for myself a lot so I know that I'm not lacking nutrients. I'll just listen to my body I suppose. It sort of gives me no choice ;). Tonight my friend Victoria is coming over to check out my new place and eat dinner. I'm cooking a polenta and mushroom dish and have a fresh bottle of wine ready and waiting! I really love to cook, but I especially love cooking for others.
