why hello there storm
Hello Everyone
Finally this week feels like fall. Thunderstorms, rain, and strong winds made an appearance in Southern California. This means it is time to get out my coats, sweaters, and fuzzy socks. I have miss the smell and the sound of rain so it was a real pleasure to hear the rain drops against the windows. I was greeted real nicely by the weather that I was gifted with the cold.
Outfit
Top: Irene's Story / Bottoms: Levi's / Cardigan: Newlook / Hat: Sole Society / Shoes: Zara
The outfit I wore is still a summer outfit but hey look I added a cardigan. I wore a black tank and denim shorts. This combo was basically my
uniform or what I usually wear. Since it was a plain outfit, I added a
cardigan that has a lot of texture. Then I paired it with my leather
boots and fedora to make the look more fall.

Today marks the first day of fall so bye bye summer!!! This summer was filled with ruffles, florals, stripes, and lace. I embraced all sorts of patterns after being inspired by the bohemian festival look from spring. I normally don't wear bold prints or patterns however this summer I just wanted to make my wardrobe a little bit alive. I am curious to see what style I would be decked out next summer. For the mean time here's some of my favorite looks from the summer or aka the outfits I had time to take pictures of heh.
First Outfit
Dress: H&M / Shoes: Marshalls
This stripe dress is one of my favorite dresses, and it's great to twirl in. I just love how the silhouette is pretty and flirty. I am wearing my sandals that has a mini wedge that gives me a little height.
Second Outfit
Top: Irene's Story / Bottom: ljcdesigns
These pom-pom shorts are very comfortable and I wore it couple times to sleep in. I match it with my peasant blouse which I accidentally shrunk but it is still wearable.
Third Outfit
Top: Zara / Bottom: Zara / Shoes: Marshalls
I got my whole outfit from Zara's summer sale, I do tend to get a tad
bit crazy during their summer and winter sale. The prices go really low
and it's just an amazing deal.
My top is made up of linen so it was
nice to have the breeze go through. I love how the tank has a lot of
little details such as the ruffles and the lace at the ends. I wore it
with my floral shorts that has a mini ruffle on the waistband. Then I wore my brown sandals so that my shorts would be the focal point of this outfit.
I am so sorry I had a huge gap between this and last post. I have no excuses. Thank you so much for reading!!! Leave a comment about anything~

LA's weather is wishy washy again! Therefore, I wore my cozy navy blue sweater and paired it with painted-like floral shorts, so that the outfit suits the winter/spring weather. Thrown in a fuchsia purse that totally gives a pop to the outfit. My shoes were given to me as a birthday gift and to my delight, they are outrageously comfortable! Thank you!
D a i l y D o s e C a f e !
Finally arrived at a cafe I've been eyeing for awhile! A few of my favorite fashion bloggers have visited here and I wanted to give it a try. On the way there, my first thought was "Where would you find a cafe around here?" I passed warehouses and factories and barely saw anybody walking around the area. I found the cafe was located in an alleyway and I was surprised about the amount of customers who came to eat today (struggled finding a seat around three in the afternoon). I assumed Daily Dose was one of those hole-in-the-wall places.
I ordered The Mona Lisa. It was an egg omelette with mushroom inside with side salad and piece of baguette bread smeared with apple sauce. It was delicious and light. However, I recommend The Ace if you want something more savory, breakfast-like. I was terribly hungry when the food arrived; I was salivating and biting my fork, waiting and eyeing my friend who stopped me to take a picture. Give me my food already! >:O

Feeling full after dining at Daily Dose, I took a walk around the Arts District. What a surprise it was! I stumbled upon an art/flea market. There, I witnessed the most hipster thing ever, someone dragged a wagon with a real live pig in it. It was very adorable! (internal squeal, seriously.)
The market had an eclectic variety of vendors, ranging from books to succulent lovers and hat designers to jewelry designers. Each unique and tasteful in their designs. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to get the names of the all vendors. If anyone recognizes the vendors, please contact me. Here's some pictures from the market.

I said my goodbyes and I made my way to another area some minutes away from where we were before and baaam! I heard the lyrics to "White Christmas" outside. I ventured into a place was called Guerilla Atelier. This suave store had an equally suave owner who greeted me and my friends. This place consisted of just pure art, featuring clothing from designer Chris Gelinas. His style was like something out of a painting. To our amusement, in the back of the store, there was an art gallery: The Cojones by Artist Knowledge Bennett. It had Obama, Abraham Lincoln, Kanye, P. Diddy, Andy Warhol, and other famous people all dress in suits.
The day ended at Urth Cafe, where I ordered Earl Grey Boba. Tasty! Overall, I would definitely make the trip again!
Cheers, J
