The Small Stuff You Should Sweat During A Second House Viewing
The first viewing on any property is all about gut feeling. At this stage, you’ll be looking at bigger picture things like layout and even the space on offer. But, it would be madness to put an offer in on the back of a first viewing alone. When you’re looking at the bigger picture, it’s all too easy to overlook the little things. That’s why you should arrange a second viewing soon after deciding a property could be a fit for you. This can be an agonizing process, as you’ll probably want the house taken off the market the moment you fall in love with it. In reality, though, a…

Restyled: Lace Cardigan + Floral Hi-Lo
Yesterday’s outfit that I shared was from when I was sightseeing at Alcatraz and Angel Island during my San Francisco vacation. Today I’m sharing the outfit I wore on my day trip to Monterey, Carmel, and 17-Mile Drive! For this day I knew I wanted to wear something that was comfortable for the drive and also something with layers since I didn’t know what the weather would be like from town to town. I decided to wear leggings so I would be comfortable all day, so I needed to wear a top that would work with them. I wore a long cardigan with a lace bottom and a floral hi-lo…

Almost Off-the-Shoulder Top
I hope you all had a great weekend! I can’t believe it’s already the middle of August pretty much. It’s actually my last full week of summer break before I go back to work for the new school year. It’s too sad to think about so let’s move on to this outfit I wore on vacation in San Francisco. I’m calling this top an “almost off-the-shoulder” because it is just that – a top that is almost off the shoulder, but not quite. I thought about calling it a wide neckline top, but wasn’t sure and when I searched up “almost off-the-shoulder” to see if there was a better name,…

Green Playsuit
Playsuits are basically rompers, but when I think of playsuits I definitely think of more night out on the town type rompers. When I saw this green playsuit on the Princess Polly website I thought the details looked so pretty and it looked so comfortable. Plus, it’s green and you know that’s my favorite color! When I saw how pretty the playsuit was in person I knew I had to include it in my evening beach photoshoot with Lauren last month! Playsuit: Princess Polly (here) | Sandals: Steve Madden via DSW I love the fit of this playsuit and the tie straps help to customize the fit. The shorts have…

Is It Time To Make Some Changes?
One of the things that commonly happens to a lot of people that many of us don’t really talk about all that much is the feeling that your life is just sort of moving along on rails without you having much input on it. It’s surprisingly easy to wake up one morning and realise that you’re living a life that you never really picked out for yourself and that doesn’t leave you particularly fulfilled. This can be an incredibly frustrating feeling for a lot of people, particularly because it often doesn’t feel like there’s any way to get out of this kind of situation. However, that’s not the case. The…

Book Review: Apocalypse Five
It seems like every book review I post lately starts with saying it’s long overdue, but it’s true! I’m so grateful I get sent so many books for my consideration, especially because I love reading and I hope to be a writer myself one day, but I get so backed up with books that I constantly have a pile to get through. So with that being said, this book review has been a long time coming haha. Apocalypse Five is the first book in a new series Archive of the Fives, a dystopian novel of sorts. It reminds me a little of The Hunger Games and a little of Ender’s Game. Here is the…

San Francisco Eats
Now that I’ve wrapped up my recaps of each of my days on vacation in San Francisco, I’m sharing what I ate on my trip! I didn’t take photos of every single meal because things like breakfast and snacks get repetitive. Below you’ll see the breakdown by day and meal and I’ll link to the restaurant if I can! Tuesday Dinner We arrived in time for dinner on Tuesday and went to Tratto for dinner. It didn’t look too crowded inside and the menu looked good. The hostess said it would be a 3 hour wait without a reservation! But we were able to sit at the high top tables without…
