This week was spring break so I set out to do a few things school has stopped me from doing. So this past Thursday Le Boy and I went to the beach. We had brunch at a cafe I have been dying to get him to for sometime now. Then we walked down to the boardwalk and watched the waves and birds. It wasn't the sunniest day (hince me doning a coat and expecting to sport the cut out tank) but it was a beautiful day and so much fun.

I'm embracing spring with a bit of white and very light colors. Its taking some getting use to because I live and love in the color black. We shall see if this continues.

My beach essentials: Bali Mango Body Lotion & Sunnies (the color depending on the beach attire)

Two Piece: Target - Glasses: Ebay

So in honor of Labor Day my roommates and I headed out to the beach to get some sun and play in the water (but not before being warned of "sand animals" and shallow dweling jellyfish on a quick phone call with Le Boyfriend). Little did we know when we arrived the beach would be flooded with tens of people and their families.

Although the beach was crowded we ended up enjoying some boogie boarding and drinks in the sand. The drinks are actually by a brand is called Coco Breve. They make these amazing alcohol-infused coconut waters. One I enjoy in particular is the Mango Citrus because of my taste for fruity flavors.

Hopefully your day off was fun and you were able to spend it surrounded by friends.

The best thing about living close to water is knowing there is always somewhere calming to go. When I put this outfit together, all day I thought about were the boats docked near the beach. So as soon as I could I headed there to snap some photos and listen to the current.

I headed back down to Huntington Beach earlier this week for some fresh air. This time I stayed toward the shops and avoided the beach. Did you know there is a bar on the second floor of the shopping area that has a 'Taco Thursday?' Well they do and my roomy and I took advantage of that. I got full off of 4! My filling trick? Lots of cheese (and i mean A LOT) and a squeeze or two of lime.

My signature shoe view intro...

Top/Pants/Bracelets: F21 - Bow: Made by Me -Shoes: American Eagle - Ring: Charlotte Russe

This bow is a result of me pulling out my sewing machine after months of it collecting dust. Pretty good for my first try I'd say. I was going to purchase a few bows from American Apparel but after altering a pair of velvet leggings I figured there had to be a way to make on myself out of the scraps.

And my signature walking away ending photo. I love taking these lol. These were taken on my camera phone btw.

So after a few weeks of lazying around after a hectic Fall semester I finally got out into the world for things other than food and family related holidays. I know it sounds sad but after 3 months of being dedicated to school the laziness is well deserved. I even put in effort to dress like I wanted to be scene .

Allison and I headed out to Huntington Beach to browse shops and do some reading in the sand. It was lovely and I thought it would even be a cool place to take some photos. And because of my tiny compact camera i decided it look weird posing around those bustling by. BUT! and there is always a but... we ended up finding a cut little alley like area in between some restaurants. Perhaps I am not ready to begin posing in public again just yet. Mind You I still have 4 more weeks left on this break so I should experience the outside world and great outfits.

I thought it was cool to see Natalie Suarez's ad for Volcom. I literally squealed "I follow her blog!" Lol I'm a dork I know.

P.S. I have decided in 2012 my signature for commenting on other blogs shall be 'Violet' instead of the old 'Vi from Cali'

2/07/2011

Being productive is not something that happens everyday for me. I usually have the one day during the week where I do something as small going to the post office that can get me going on anything on my To-Do list. But surprisingly this week I've gotten a olt of productivity that has carried onto into the beginning of this week. And today my last class of the day was canceled so I headed to the beach. I know your probably thinking "How is lounging at the beach productive?" but... I've been promising my roomate a beach day whenever the weather was good enough. Eventually the weather got breezy but it was nice to sit and read in the sand when I would usually be at home surfing the web aimlessly. Bearly took any photos but i will leave you with these.
