As we all know, the Met Gala is a huge night for fashion. I always expect outfits with tons of drama and elaborate details, which is what we definitely got this year! I love seeing the amazing looks and the biggest celebrities and public figures that attend.
Check out my favorites from the night!

Afters Ice Cream in Pasadena, CA
I recently discovered this place (don’t know why) but it’s absolutely scrumptious, delicious, amazing! I don’t think I know enough words to describe it. The ice cream flavors are super yummy and they offer these things called Milky Buns which are pretty much like glazed donuts filled with your choice of ice cream and topping. So far, I’ve tried the jasmine milk tea (purple one) and the milk and cereal flavor. Both of which are amazing! They haven’t done me wrong yet so I’m going to be a frequent visitor!
Urth Caffe in Pasadena, CA
Came here for a healthy brunch with a friend and my sis one weekend. See how much green I had? I was awfully proud of myself but I’m sure I ended up having a burger for dinner or something anyways. At least I tried, right? Anyways, I love coming here for their green tea latte, which is great hot or cold! They have tons of desserts and pastries which I’ve heard are also delicious! After our yummy brunch, we went out to explore the local Container Store.

I had some avocados that were getting pretty ripe and some radishes that needed to be eaten asap so what better way to use them than to make avocado toast?! I know everyone is eating avocado toasts right now and they’re trending but they really are delicious! There’s a reason why everyone eats them! Another plus is that they’re healthy. I need a more substantial toast, so I like adding some egg to them as well. See below! 🙂 
Dodger Dog at Dodger Stadium
Went to a baseball game just last night after I haven’t been in over 10 years! I knew that I had to have the infamous Dodger Dog, nachos, and garlic fries, which I happily succeeded! The boyfriend got me the Cuban dog, since the Dodgers were playing Miami last night and it was pretty good! Especially since I was starving by then! However, I was ready to knock out when it was barely the 3rd inning…
I have been loving pieces with a bit of flair to them and this top from JCrew is the perfect example! It looks like a simple striped blouse but has these amazing bell sleeves that makes the piece super fun and cool! It also has a great weight to it so the quality of the fabric is very nice.
Sometimes, I notice that I have way too many basic pieces that by getting some that have some funky details to them makes a big difference! I highly recommend this blouse and it does run big so opt for a size smaller!
OUTFIT
It was a little rainy one weekend but I was determined to go to Chinatown to try out Burgerlords, so that’s exactly what I did! We went into this plaza that had cute little shops and lanterns hanging above the courtyard, so I knew I had to take some pictures!
I purchased this coat from Hautelook when they had a North Face sale. I had been wanting a good coat to wear on chilly days but something that was also not super dressy. This was perfect because it is somewhat waterproof, has a hood, and still gives me shape because it is structured with a curve at your waist.
I paired it with a simple shirt, distressed jeans, and my Nike sneakers. Super comfy yet still put together for a nice little outing on a rainy day!

I’ve teamed up with Vegas.com to show you guys an “Ultimate Vegas” outfit and I know most people think that Vegas is mainly for bikinis and clubbing attire, but I find that I enjoy a much more simple itinerary and going when it’s NOT summer! I love enjoying amazing eateries, watching shows, and getting a bit of shopping done. I’m not one for crazy parties or the nightlife so I created an outfit more geared towards the usual activities I partake in when I’m there.
I love being able to walk around the strip and sight see, do a little shopping, or even spend a few hours at the spa in one of their fabulous Las Vegas Hotels! This outfit would also be great for a nice little dinner! Somewhat dressy, but not super formal. I purchased this ruffled blouse from Aritzia some time ago and love how feminine and beautiful it is. It definitely dresses up an outfit really well. I paired it with my black distressed skinny jeans for a little balance and mixed edginess with feminine touches.

I’m really enjoying how beautiful our Spring is so far! Not that LA doesn’t have tons of sunny days in a year but it’s been at the perfect temperature each day! I do dread horribly hot days coming up soon so I’m enjoying how it is right now as much as I possibly can.
I keep it really simple with my outfits so a loose tank, distressed jeans, and sneakers are like my springtime and summer uniform! I do want to look into getting some more summer dresses and expand my summer wardrobe a bit so keep an eye out for those posts!
For this Foodie Friday post, I wanted to recap my experience at the most recent Yelp Elite event I attended! I signed up for the tasting event at Ozu East Kitchen in Atwater and was very excited to try out this new ramen spot! The restaurant had a very cool, modern look to it but onto the food!
We were given a cute little menu with the food we were about to enjoy! For appetizers, we had the chicken karaage which was super tender and moist. The owner was nice enough to come around and describe the cooking process to us! The next appetizer is the charred edamame which had so much flavor and depth to them. It was one of the best edamame dishes I’ve ever had. Another great dish was the shishito peppers; it was slightly spicy but not too overpowering. I loved it!
We all got our choice of ramen and I chose the miso vegan ramen, since I always tend to get the traditional tonkotsu. I loved that they used spinach noodles instead, which was very different but it was a nice change in flavor. My ramen wasn’t too rich but also had tons of flavor. I felt like I chose a healthier alternative! I mean, it was still a week night so I couldn’t go crazy! …but I finished the night with the yummiest match green tea gelato.
I highly recommend this spot and need to come in and try some more dishes out before they get too popular! 🙂
Went out to dinner with friends the other night and just went with a simple outfit that consisted of a jacket with a faux fur collar, brown knee high boots, chambray blouse, and my go-to brown leather tote. It’s still somewhat chilly in LA some days so I can continue to get away with wearing jackets and boots for a little while longer!
My hair was also not cooperating that day, so I threw it up in a quick and easy bun. You can never go wrong with that! I also added some color to my makeup by going with a warmer lip stain. My lips tend to get slightly pale due to dryness and cold weather, so a lip stain is always helpful!
