The OC blogger group had a blast at this Coachella themed that our friend Cassydy hosted. We did a little shopping & sipping at one of my absolute favorite stores, Modern Romance.

I’m addicted to these facial cleansers from Wabi-Sabi Botanicals. They are smell AMAZING and are non-toxic!

This was kind of an “impulse buy” since I had a Rebecca Minkoff gift card to use, but I’ve gotten so many compliments on this little key-fob! I use it at school to store my USB sticks (and now I sound like a total dork) with style.

Sorority Chic | A-List Greek Designs

Dress || Necklace

This pretty package from A-List Greek Designs seriously couldn’t have showed up at my doorstep at a better time! As an Alpha Delta Pi alumna, I am always looking for understated ways to incorporate my letters into my wardrobe. Last weekend, I revisited my sorority house for an Alumni Tea event and wore this necklace (I put it on the second it arrived…after sending a few snaps of it to my sisters, of course 😉 ) I received quite a few compliments on it, so I thought I’d share it on my blog!

There are so many chic and polished options when it comes to wearing your letters post-graduation, especially over at A-List Greek. The bar necklace I wore to our Alumni Tea event comes in gold, rose gold, or silver and can be stamped with up to 15 characters of your choice! They can also hand stamp jewelry with your initials or roman numerals to create a perfectly personalized piece.

On the A-List Greek website you’ll find adorable assortment of sorority jewelry, Greek letter marquees, metallic tats, and hair ties (how cute are the ones they sent me?!) for any sorority or occasion. If you’re looking for a stylish and sophisticated gift for new members, actives, or even the sorority sisters heading out into the “real world,” you should definitely check out A-List Greek Designs. They are officially Greek licensed and were founded in 2013 by a group of Greek-affiliated women. Use the coupon code “LOVEALIST” at checkout for free shipping!

Cute Kicks

A few years ago, I would never have considered sneakers to be part of my go-to wardrobe – but my recent obsession with this season’s feminine sneakers trend has me reaching for a comfy pair almost every time I walk out the door! I’ve been exploring Los Angeles on foot quite a bit lately, so that is where my search for comfortable & fashionable sneakers began. Also, I am constantly on the lookout for fashionable sneakers that are comfortable enough to wear while traveling since there is usually a ton of walking involved. With all of the trendy sneakers hitting stores this season, it is almost hard to avoid them at this point!

I thought I’d share some of my favorite feminine sneakers that will pair well with casual, non-athletic clothing for spring & summer. Time to say goodbye to boring athletic shoes, ladies! For those of you who find your average white sneakers too casual or plain – I’ve rounded up a few feminine and “different” options that you could try pairing with a lace top + jeans, or even a flirty dress. One of these might just end up being your new go-to! (These and these are my favorites!)

The Flower Fields | Carlsbad, CA

My mom and I heard about The Flower Fields from one of our relatives and knew we just HAD to go! We did a little research online and made a quick trip to Carlsbad to visit the fields. It looked even prettier in person with all of the flowers in bloom! The hills were so colorful…it felt like we were walking in a fairy tale. It was a little windy and cloudy, but the flowers didn’t seem to notice 😉

If you’re in Southern California, you really should see the fields for yourself. The flowers cover a beautiful 50 acres and can be toured via an antique tractor wagon (how cute is that?!). It is a great spot to take special occasion photos or to relax with family!

Festive Jewelry For New Year’s Eve

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

In my opinion, one of the best parts of celebrating the new year is getting all dressed up! My boyfriend and I are heading down to San Diego on the 30th to watch USC play in the Holiday Bowl, so we thought that it would be fun to stay in San Diego for New Year’s Eve as well. And that’s just about all the planning we’ve done for New Year’s Eve – which is making putting together/packing an outfit a bit tricky. So, I decided to focus more on accessories since we aren’t sure if we will be celebrating indoors, on a rooftop, on the water, etc.

While browsing accessories online, I rounded up 10 stunning jewelry picks that range from $12.45 – around $100 and just had to share them. To make things simple this year, I’ll probably pair a few festive jewelry pieces with a solid dress, glittery heels, and a metallic clutch. If anyone has recommendations for things to do in San Diego on New Year’s Eve, I’d love to hear them! I hope that you all have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve 🙂

Double Takes…

I recently came across a couple of amazing dupes for higher-end products, so I thought I’d share them! My favorite “look for less” is the $95 red flats from Nordstrom that I originally saw on one of my favorite blogs (The Sweetest Thing). I love that they are a similar style, but not an exact copy. Plus, they’re even more gorgeous in person!

I also recently found a bag that is really similar to the white Tory Burch York Tote (below). Not only is it a less expensive option, but it’s a better option for ladies who are using their tote for school or always on the go. I figure that you’ll be less afraid to actually use the tote since it’s much less of an investment (I know I’d most likely scuff up the white leather of the Tory Burch option after a couple wears, so trying the look for less is definitely a better idea in my opinion!).

Check out my picks below and let me know about the fun summer trends you’re trying for less.
