Boatin' Around

What a fun weekend it was! Started off with having a fabulous time at a special friend's wedding Saturday night. Hands down probably one of the funnest weddings I have been a part of, it was so much fun. Then I enjoyed a great afternoon on Sunday boating around Castaic Lake with a great group of friends. It was my first time there and it turned out to be such a fun day, I will definitely be going back soon. The weather was perfect and the sun was shining it just made our time spent on the lake even better. There was some water surfing at the lake, sunbathing and definitely some good snacks while out on the boat. It was great, I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the day! Here a few pictures of our day! Hope you all had a great weekend. Happy Monday!

Stripes & more Stripes...

I took a stroll to the mall this week just to do a little window shopping and I saw quite a bit of stripe dresses in each display window. I've also been seeing them as I do my online window shopping as well. So as I walked past several stores there were stripes everywhere which I didn't mind, I'm really into the stripe movement. I just recently bought a striped short dress I've been waiting to wear one of these summer days. I'm really into the bright stripes and the zig-zag styles I'm seeing. It definitely adds a certain level of funk to an outfit plus any of these dresses can be dressed up or down. Throw on a jean or leather jacket, some cute flats or wedges, and even add a different colored tank or solid top over if you opt to go for lighter layers instead of a jacket. Can't wait to wear my striped dress soon.

Baja

Do any of you guys watch No Reservations? Its a staple show in my house. Love that Anthony Bourdain, especially when drinks too much on the show and acts a fool! Last week he featured Baja on the show and it reminded me of all the good memories I have visiting that area with my family. Due to all the controversies that have plagued the location we haven't gone in a while, but, wow have I missed that place. All that wonderful and tasty fresh seafood. Do I dare make a trip?

Caught the day off. Can't get any fresher than that!

This lady and her cart. Everything looked divine! Would love to visit her.

Totes to Summer

While thinking of all the upcoming summer festivities and outings in the sun, I've been thinking a lot about tote bags. There the essential bag to basically carry everything one would need on a summer day to the beach, pool or out to a BBQ with friends. Now totes come in all shapes and sizes which are great for any occasion. I usually like to go with the bigger sized totes only because you can fit everything in there like your towels, sunscreen, magazines, iPad, suntan lotion, snacks etc. Name it and it will fit! I like to call those bags "The Mary Poppin Bags" because it's never full and you can fit about anything in them. Plus the fun thing about totes is you can find some in all sorts of different colors, designs and print which are fun and are very stylish too. So to start the summer properly accessorized below are a few of the totes I'm really digging on to be my tote for the summer.

 Totes Magotes! Enjoy!
