I’ve been going through a big old Hollywood phase lately! Either that…or I’m finally putting together my style and discovering what it’s really called <3 Probably both~
Here is a fun little inspiration board of all the things I’m loving right now and what I hope to add to my new place! My new place & our new budget doesn’t quite allow for an entire rennovation~ but…I’m trying to pick pieces wisely so that they can at least give off the same ambiance. <3
I have the BEST bridesmaids in the entire world. They threw the most amazing bash for me!! Every single detail was GORGEOUS and incredibly thoughtful. They not only were super crafty, but the decor style of the event was classic <3 I’m so grateful to those girls!
My roomie/BM took 60+ pictures from the day, so here are just some fun ones for you to see.

Looking back on this day…I feel so blessed to have amazing friends in my life who love me. I will always see these pictures and remember such a fun girls day to celebrate my marriage to Markel <3
This past weekend was ANOTHER busy busy busy one~~ Filled with good food, friends, and some physical labor <3
Friday Night, Markel and I watched a Mad Men marathon and just hung out at home. We ate leftovers and just did what we haven’t been able to do: RELAX!
Saturday, bright and early, we woke up and drove out to Chino to help Markel’s grandparents move to San Diego. It was such a gorgeous day~~ it didn’t feel like we were moving. After the move, we were able to do a little home decor shopping at Z Gallerie & Target <3
(made a little care package for Markel’s Bro’s wedding, the weather was GORG, so was the sunset!)
Sunday, Markel and I got to sleep in and slowly get ready for a big bbq birthday bash <3 Our friends came over, got to see our new place, and Markel was able to use his new GRILL~~~ his most prize possession at the moment.
I forgot to take pictures at the beginning of the party, so here are just some random ones towards the end. This year, I planned a REALLY REALLY chill birthday for Markel b/c he was so burnt out from work/wedding/traveling/moving/LIFE! We kept it all incredibly low key and relaxing~ so that Mike could sit back and enjoy the day. (Markel’s Birthday Pasts)
He was so special he got TWO birthday cakes <3
Happy Birthday Baby!! xoxo

I Love looking at Pinterest for outfit inspirations! After wearing jeans and closed toed shoes for so long, I’m itching to wear dresses, skirts, and lots of accessories!
Here is a mix of spring/summer outfits (even for a cold night too)
I haven’t shopped online at a sample sale website in…AGES. I was looking for a birthday present for someone on Hautelook, when I came across these gorgeous earrings <3 I’m obsessed with studs and some bright colors for spring right now. Can’t wait till they come!
Xoxo happy happy pink pink!
How brilliant is this??? Lawn Scrabble!! What a great way to spend the day with friends at a summer BBQ. =) Especially with Memorial Day around the corner~~

Now that the weather is warm, I’m beginning to bust out my arm candy from winter hibernation. Here are some style inspiration photos from pinterest.
Markel and I had a really big and busy weekend. We hosted guests to our new place for the first time. It was filled with lots of loved ones, fun, good food, and drinks! <3
Friday Night, we hosted a thank you dinner for some of the people who helped at the Wedding. (second diner party to come soon!) We ate delicious chicken enchiladas, chicken tortilla soup, sangria, beer…and dessert that no one got to eat =(
We attempted to play a game, but the girls rocked the boys so fast that…well…it wasn’t fair to finish. hehe
Saturday, my new parents (MIL, FIL) came over and we hung out and watched a movie. It was fun being able to host in our new place <3
Sushi lunch date my my new mama
Sunday, we hosted Mother’s Day Brunch for Markel’s whole family and even did a quick happy birthday song for him.
I even got to paint a few fingers and toes <3
Happy 27th Birthday to Markel
Wine cork orders galore… I love etsy!

random happenings from last week, more to come on my new necklace <3
Since it was a weekday, we kept tonight low key. Tonight we watched Iron Man 3 in both 3-D and in Dbox.
Tonight was our first real date after the wedding ♡♡
For both men and Children 
As the weather warms up, my inner shopping addict comes out! This year, I’m trying my best not to buy new things for myself, since I want to focus on the apartment. Here is my wishlist from F21…
Today…my baby turns 27. CRAZY. I’ve known him for nearly 5 years now and it’s been an incredibly journey. <3
Can’t wait for the next 50 years that’s to come! xoxo
