Sunny day in Napa

3 Cheese Plate from City Winery

Delicious coffee cake

Traveled to Napa for a friend's birthday and had a relaxing time. The weather was gorgeous and the wine was just what I needed. Roamed around in a large 9 seater van exploring and tasting various Napa wine. Of course I had to have a mini photoshoot in a tree, while others were enjoying their picnics with their families. 

This skirt defeated me. Sure, it looks cute and goes with everything, but unfortunately, it cuts off my circulation. It definitely doesn't help when I'm indulging in delicious foods and plenty of wine. To make matters worse, at the end of the day, the zipper ended up breaking, and my skirt came apart. Good Bye skirt forever.

Excited for what summer has in store.

Goodbye Coachella. Until next year.

Coachella, you were absolutely magical. I've been to my fair share of festivals, but this one, just topped it all. My time at Coachella was filled with laughter, countless hours of dancing, and unforgettable memories. I grew to be addicted to the jubilant atmosphere and did not want the weekend to end. I reserved my best outfit for the first day, knowing I would get exhausted on the last 2 days. I enjoyed people watching and observing their edgy hair styles with their individualistic outfits. I will definitely be back next year.

Here are a few tips for festival goers:
1. Purrell will be your bestfriend! Be sure to purchase one of these travel sized bottles to clip onto your purse.
2. Sunglasses. Without these, you will go blind my friend.
3. Lightweight sweater. The weather gets pretty chilly at night. And not to mention, quite windy. I tied a small cardigan on my purse strap and it became extremely handy on the walk home.
4. CASH. There are a few festivals that conveniently have Square to accept credit cards. Unfortunately, at Coachella, all vendors only accepted cash.
5. Totem. I came with a group of over 20 folks and our group brought a inflatable dinosaur. This made it easy to locate our large group.
6. External Battery packs are a life saver. Reception is horrid in the dessert.

The Rack

Decided to simplify my clothing rack by displaying a few items I wear on rotation. I've been attempting to purchase less and invest in timeless pieces, but unfortunately, I cannot get rid of my shopping addiction. Which translates into me perpetuating my spending habits. It is apparent that I have a fascination for stripes or achromatic colors. Do I fear color? Not really. Maybe I'm just trying to be cool and adhere to the trends. I just need Mermaid/Unicorn hair and I'll be set as the next upcoming blogger. :)

Keeping up with this blog is hard work! I've been trying to give up a few hours of the Internet each day and replace it with reading. More reading = less blog posts. Hopefully reading more books will stimulate my creativity for better blog posts. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should photograph or write about, let me know!

Went on a mini getaway this past weekend to Big Sur. We cruised down Highway 1 while listening to Chill wave music and the music definitely fit the serene atmosphere. The fluorescent blue waters and dusky trees made me reminisce about the days I would walk through the forest to get to class in Santa Cruz. 

Wearing all black was a horrible idea! (Being punished for trying to look super cool)The sun was beyond warm and trekking through the trails was a challenge. Good thing we packed some juicy tangerines :). I'll be sure to keep a pair of shorts in my car in case I decide to go hiking on a scorching hot day again.
