Museum of Ice Cream
I finally made it to the Museum of Ice Cream - better late than never! Eddie and I hardly ever venture to Downtown LA, but the museum is in the super cool Arts District and it made me want to visit more often. MOIC is such a fun place! Filled with bright colors, awesome art, and they even give you ice cream and candy as you walk through each room. Yas plz! All the pink doesn't hurt either - the building itself is painted an amaze shade. But really, a whole museum dedicated to my fave food is pretty much heaven for me. And don't get me started on the SPRINKLE POOL! Keep scrolling to see all the ice cream fun.
Sienna Hues In Venice
It's the first day of September and even though it's still technically summer, I'm diving in head first to fall colors. My current obsession is sienna, a beautifully rich combo of brown, orange, and yellow. I love the earthy feel to it, and I'm especially digging this shade on my Free People Kimono. The tie dye pattern gives it that extra boho feel, and it's super soft and flowy which is always a plus for me.
San Francisco Afternoon
Before Eddie and I left for SF to attend Outside Lands Music Fest, I had all these big plans of checking out shops, restaurants, and monuments in the Bay Area every morning before the fest. Bahahaha. Delusional! What actually happened was that we were so exhausted every morning from the previous day, we woke up super late and of course had no time to do anything except shower quickly and head back over to the fest. So I condensed my long list of amaze recommendations into my absolute must visits, and we hit them up on Monday before driving back down to Los Angeles.

Outside Lands 2017
Still coming down from the amaze weekend we had at Outside Lands Music + Art Festival in San Francisco! Any event where the setting is the gorgeous Golden Gate Park is A+ in my book. Our first time at this fest was last summer, Eddie and I only went for 1 day and we loved it so much we decided to do all 3 days this year. We were able to meet up with a bunch of friends there too, it was super fun running around and dancing with them.
Sun & Fun in Laguna Beach
Last week Eddie and I visited our old stomping grounds for some Laguna Beach fun! I went to college in Orange County and my friends and I used to love exploring this gorge city in our free time. Eddie was born and raised in Orange County, so it's his home. Even though we're still super close being in LA, (just a 50 minute drive south from us depending on traffic) I hadn't had a Laguna day in years. Crazy! I think it's easy to get comfortable where you live, so much so that a lot of times you'd rather stay local than drive a bit - especially with our SoCal traffic. I've been trying to take a lot more day trips this summer though, to get out of our lil West LA bubble.
Day Trip to Ojai
As much as I love Los Angeles, it's so nice to escape the city every now and then. Traveling and exploring new places is my favorite thing to do, but it's not always feasible - which is why I'm so in love with day trips! No need to pay for pricey hotels and flights, small little getaways tame my wanderlust (for a bit, anyway) and make me happy. I'm lucky to live in Southern California, a place filled with cute towns left and right. Ojai happens to be one of those cuties!
Mellow Yellow
Yellow is quickly becoming my fave color to wear! This fun Cotton Candy LA dress is so perf for summer, I just love the ruffles and flowiness. It's crazy to me that up until recently my entire wardrobe consisted of mostly black - I've really been trying to wear more color this year, and I'm kinda hooked now!

A Day in Malibu
Oh how I love Malibu days! Such a gorgeous town, breathtaking ocean views everywhere you look and that amaze ocean air. It can be a bit of a trek from the rest of Los Angeles, but the drive up Pacific Coast Highway is worth it. Keep scrolling for a few of my fave things to do when in the 'Bu.
