Blue dress, Orange Sky




 It's my last day at my house in San Luis Obispo before I leave on my road trip to Canada tomorrow!
It's so crazy, but I'm so excited. Oh and I FINALLY bought my new camera! 
These images are all from my new Sony Alpha 850!
I'm so happy! Life is good

I give her my heart, but she wanted my soul.


 Forever 21 dress, Urban outfitters heels, H&M hat

 So! I leave for my Canada road trip in 2 days and I've been running around trying to pack like crazy.
But how do you pack for a 2 week road trip? 
I have no idea.. maybe that's why I'm bringing like 4 bags of clothes.
Oh sweet lord. At least I will have options! Haha

Citrus Summer.


So I've finished all my finals and I'm out of College for the summer! Now all I have to work on is packing for my road trip to Canada next week! I actually leave in just 6 days. It's going to be crazy, but I will be blogging all the way there with photos too!
Now the hardest part is just figuring out how and what to pack... looks like I've got a lot more work to do..

Have a great week everyone!

California Style- Sara's Sweet Style


What do we love about California?
Is it the amazing coast line of pacific ocean? 
How about the wild ranges of mountains and redwoods?
The almost year around nice weather and sunshine?
Is it our free flowing tolerant attitudes?
The amazing cities and towns with their own unique flavors?
Of course it's all of the above!
And that includes the stylish fashion bloggers who live and breath California.
I've lived on the Central Coast of California my whole life and I never plan to leave this state for long.
It's a beautiful, vast place filled with beautiful people.
Meet Sara from Sara's Sweet Style


What part of California are you from?
So Cal Baby!
How would you describe your style? 
My style is very mixed :) i love trying out trends and having fun with colors! fashion fascinates me, each style has a sense of individuality and uniqueness in it, its like every style has its own personality! and i love meeting those personalities!


How does where you live influence your style?
The weather is very bipolar where i live haha. literally one day it could be a beautiful, warm and sunny day and the next day it would be raining. So that makes it hard on deciding what i want to wear the day before but i can usually just put a jacket over if it gets cold. plus it's not THAT bad just bad ha. Also Mother Nature inspires me and i can just imagine myself wearing a flowy dress, running around the beach having fun and just being care free! (random, i know lol)

How do others in your area dress?
 
Most people around my area dress very casually, usually shorts and a sweatshirt lol. But there are some fashionistas here and there and they are most definitely trendy :)
What do you love most about California?
The fresh air, the sunny beach, the warm sun, and the sense of freedom :)

Thank you Sara!

California Style- Eclectic Flair


What do we love about California?
Is it the amazing coast line of pacific ocean? 
How about the wild ranges of mountains and redwoods?
The almost year around nice weather and sunshine?
Is it our free flowing tolerant attitudes?
The amazing cities and towns with their own unique flavors?
Of course it's all of the above!
And that includes the stylish fashion bloggers who live and breath California.
I've lived on the Central Coast of California my whole life and I never plan to leave this state for long.
It's a beautiful, vast place filled with beautiful people.

Here is our first blogger of my new California Style series.
Meet Lidi of Eclectic Flair!

What part of California are you from?
I was born and raised in sunny, southern California. Currently, I live in Orange County but work in the Los Angeles area. I really enjoy being able to explore both areas daily.

How would you describe your style?
I don't usually try to define my style, I just wear what I like and what makes me happy! My style is incredibly eclectic but I would say I definitely tend to dress in a very feminine way. My closet has classic pieces with a touch of whimsy and a hint of vintage inspired flair.

How does where you live influence your style?
Fortunately, southern California is incredibly culturally and economically diverse. I know a lot of people have the misconception that everyone in So. Cal. is wealthy, tan, blond and fake. While that may hold some truth in a few cities by the beach, most of us live and look completely different than those media stereotypes.  The inspiration for my style comes from the diversity I see everyday. Of course, the weather is a huge inspiration too, it's so easy to throw on a cute, girly dress when the sun is shinning bright outside!

How do others in your area dress?
For the sake of this post, I will focus on how people my age dress. Of course, beach inspired clothing, big sunglasses and sandals are very common. There are is also a lot of "hipster" fashion (รก la Urban Outfitters) going around. Hip hop influenced looks are very popular too (baggy clothes for the gentlemen and "J.Lo looks" {circa 2001} for the ladies). For a low key night out, dark jeans accompanied by a dressy top and sky high heels is a popular look as well. Bottom line is anything goes around here.

What do you love most about California?
I love the year-round sunny days. The local dog beach where my dog can freely chase the waves. The most deliciously ethnic food you can imagine! The varied nightlife that include my favorite salsa clubs. The road-trip "getaways" that are only a few hours away (hello Las Vegas and San Diego!). The endless events, museums and concerts to go to every weekend. And of course, all kinds of clothing shops galore!

Thank you, Lidi!

The Mods Vs. The Rockers

In the early British 1960s, the younger culture was basically separated into two hip groups; The Mods- The suit wearing, Italian Vespa riding, proper modernists, and The Rockers- The grungy, hog riding, leather wearing rock and rollers.
These groups didn't exactly get along and caused a few big newsworthy riots.
What are you; A Mod or a Rocker?




The Mods


 

 The Rockers




In the end
I'm a Mod for sure.
But both groups looked pretty cool.
