SANTA MONICA.

Thankfully the last day in California was also the hottest day, so it only made sense to dedicate our time to the beach. 

We started with a beautiful brunch at the well-known Ivy Restaurant, which is not a place I would usually gravitate towards because of it's colorful elegance and far-from-flashy exterior, but my goodness it was magical. Maybe I love it so much because I've been craving french toast for two months ;) 

Santa Monica is such an amazing place to spend the day, especially if you're a couple (you'd fit right in with all the people making out). The whole time we were watching a couple rehearsing dramatic and romantic lines for a movie, it was quite the entertainment.

We walked around Third Street Promenade again and decided to drive back to Beverly Hills, where I made a very exciting purchase I'll share soon!

Thank you California, you were just what I needed and absolutely perfect in every way. 

To everyone dreaming of taking a trip to Los Angeles: set your mind to it, and then just go for it! 

See you soon

GIVING UP ISN'T AN OPTION.

Hey hey!

So I thought I'd do something a little different today: share a lesson I learned recently. For the past three months, I've been trying to sell a super over-priced blender I purchased this summer because I just wasn't into making smoothies anymore (it's way too cold and I'm over it). I got offers every day to buy the blender for way, way under how much I was generously asking for. I just kept the ad up because I was frankly too lazy to take it down. Well, three months later, someone took my offer and I sold the blender yesterday.
What has this taught me? Or rather, re-assured me?

Don't give up. Don't settle for less than you are asking for. Someone out there will agree with what you require. Not everyone will, but that's okay- because agreeing to sell yourself, or sell something, for less than it is worth is essentially giving up your dignity.

You will ultimately earn people's respect by setting standards and morals you stay true to regardless :)

DIY HIGH WAISTED SHORTS

Why hello there! 

Remember these shorts that I showed you guys before and said I was going to rip up? Well, I did! It took me 3 days, lots of cleaning, but I did it! I'm also incredibly proud of myself because they're my favourite shorts I own by far. High waisted shorts like 500 times more comfortable than low-rise shorts cause they don't rise up, fall down, and also they just look kick-asssss. 

How do you like them? Next I'm ripping up a lighter pair…and I'm getting it all on camera for you guys! That's how much I love you. K that sounded egotistic.

Anyways goodbye! hahaha

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS

I guess you could say I grew up listening to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers; I vividly remember that their CD was always playing in the car. When my mom took me to their concert yesterday, I expected adults, maybe parents. Who was actually there? Teenagers; but not just any teenagers.. smoking, drinking and “out there” teenagers. It was kinda awkward, being with my mom at what seemed like a frat party.

Here’s my outfit and a few of my favourite pictures! (Did you notice I’m wearing my new jeffrey campbell rumble boots?) 

Oh, and sorry that the outfit isn’t in good quality.. my mom can’t figure out how to use a DSLR camera quite yet :P

Sky High ♡

Love my new cartilage ring, it was a great day downtown with Julia :)

Except for the weather.. it’s supposed to snow tomorrow, guess who’s staying home all day with the windows shut? This girl. 

I probably killed 5 sheep for this coat...

Just kidding, it’s faux fur! Pea coats sometimes just don’t cut it when the temperature drastically turns from 8 celsius to −15 (I mean really though, why the torture?) I almost talked myself out of taking pictures, but managed to get my mom outside for a minute to take a few shots, although she did cry her way back into the car. How’s New York Fashion Week treating you? It’s been teasing me pretty well, making me wish I was there! Although, the hope is coming more and more, New York just might be awaiting me in March ;) See you soon!

Шучу, это искусственный мех! Температура резко изменилась от 8 до −15 градусов! Я даже почти отговорила себя из съемке, но мама согласилась выйти на минуту хотя oна вернулась в машину в слезах. Мне очень жаль что я не в Нью Йорке сейчас на неделе моды! Хотя, надежда все больше и больше, Нью-Йорк как раз может ожидат меня в марте ;)
