Tee

I've been obsessed with these Urban tees! They're great fit and very comfortable. They fit loosely and run a little bit big. I'm wearing an XS in this and usually wear an S. And these shoes? They're a collaboration between Superga and Man Repeller. The satin material makes the green really pop out. You just can't wear it out on rainy days! Love love love! Although Supergas' are a little heavy, I personally like the thickness of the sole - I can walk in these for days!

Flower Market

Woke up super early to hit the downtown flower market with my friend last Saturday. It was a struggle to get up at 7am after a long time, and be bombarded by vibrant colors and smells with no breakfast in my tummy. But I must say, it was a great way to start the day! I felt super productive afterwards, getting an early start to my day.

Just a few tips if you are planning to go - parking is kind of difficult. There are several open parking lots around the block but they're not the best walk over. We were able to snag a spot on the street one block away. I would suggest going with a friend... If it's your first time around that area, it can be a little bit intimidating. Its $1 admission and flowers are crazy cheap! We got there around 8 and there were still a lot of options to choose from. When we were leaving, they were setting up a farmer's market right outside with food and drinks, but we were in a hurry to leave before our meter was up! 
funfetti flowers?
Don't these roses look like brussel sprouts and cabbages?

a day in a life of a fashion blogger

Had an awesome time working with these lovely ladies at this photo shoot, capturing a day in a life of a fashion blogger. It consists of hours of outfit planning the night before, early morning meet ups to do our hair and makeup, choosing a fun location to match our outfits, and doing quick outfit changes in tinted cars. Usually when I have these fashion shoots, I don't have a fancy hair and makeup artist, but it definitely makes a difference in the photos! 

Thanks to the talented photographer, Ty, who put this whole shoot together!

Camo

So I've been waiting and looking to buy a cool piece of camo online, but found this little jacket in the men's section of a thrift store for only $15USD! (this guy must be really tiny...) I really don't go to thrift stores that much, but always find pieces that I love when I do! This outfit I would say is probably below $100USD. Clutch! I haven't shopped for clothes much lately, because most of my budget has been going towards decorating my new loft (which I'm excited to photograph later!)

Good eats in LA | eggslut

I FINALLY made it to eggslut! There was so much hype around it when they turned from food truck to vendor at the Grand Central Market. Guess what.. It totally deserves the hype and totally worth the wait in the long line. They're currently nominated for Best New Cheap Eats for Time Out LA '14 up against Amara Kitchen, The Bun Shop and Top Round. Now I haven't tried the first two, so I don't feel like it's fair for me to vote. But they win my vote for being the best all day breakfast place I've tried so far! 
I had the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich which has house-made turkey sausage, over easy organic egg, cheddar cheese and honey mustard aioli in a brioche bun... When have you ever gotten a cheap organic and healthy-ish meal? If you have, please let me know! 
Although it was a messy encounter with my sammy - egg yolk oozing through my fingers and all, it added to the whole ambiance of the place and made it that much better.
The "Slut" which is coddled egg on potato puree with toasty crostini is a must try if you are feeling somewhat adventurous. If you don't like the mashed potato texture, then it may not be your cup of tea.
I'd like to compare Grand Central Market to the NYC Chelsea Market but not as big and upscale. Everything is very reasonably priced with great taste in design and lots of selections in cuisine. You'll also find a very eclectic group of people walking around from tourists, to local families and very well-dressed hipsters. 
When Erin and my mom get here next week, this will definitely be a place I'd like to stop with them!
If you ever get to try it, let me know what you think!! I hope I didn't hype it up too much for you! :)
