Pasadena

I am currently housesitting in Pasadena, and I have been lucky enough to be located a mere 5 minutes walk to Old Town where there are free summer concerts. So far I have been able to see Milo Greene, Grouplove, and Yuna, which were all such great performances! I am wearing a black fringe top I bought from Canada, diy thrifted shorts, and earrings from Forever21. The sunglasses are my mom's and they are the clearest ones I have by far! I am across from a park that also houses free summer concerts and it is great to take a stroll there in the evening time when the weather is cooler.

Macaron Baking Spree!

As well as many other bloggers out there, I have become obssessed with the french macaron. I do not come across macarons too much here where I live, so instead of buying them, I make them myself! I have already been making them in the past, but I have begun to make more and more, especially when my family begs me to make them so they can eat them all! I have yet to start making the different flavors, but I think I will start soon as I have pretty successfully mastered the basics, especially since I love making them different colors.

Manhattan Beach


I had a job interview today for a staffing and recruiting company, and after the interview, my boyfriend and I drove to Manhattan Beach which is only ten minutes away. There were so many people out and about in the little beach town, complimented by nice bakeries, restaurants, and boutiques. We treated ourselves to fish tacos and ice cream cookie sandwiches dipped in milk chocolate. After, we walked along the pier and relaxed in the warm sand. I am wearing a blue lace crop top with a pink cinched bra underneath from Brandy Melville's, and my shorts are diy cuffed semi-high waisted shorts that I thrifted.

Vancouver

Now that graduation is over, I am taking a vacation with my family in my hometown of Vancouver, Canada. I spent today walking in Stanley Park, which is surrounded by the beautiful northern waters. Across the way is the most stunning view of the city, and I took advantage of the great photo opportunity to snap this picture.
