Black & Tan

The friendboy and I got to go to the LACMA& La Brea Tarpits this past weekend. It was nice! He'd never been to the tar pits before and I had never been to LACMA. I always saw pictures on other people's blogs and photos but never had my own. I know, I know. It's been done before and is now so cliche. But you know what? I don't care! :) I now have my own photos and can say, "Been there, done that."

The friendboy liked the look of these poles lining the walkway to the Frieda Kahlo exhibit.

There was a "random" art installation of yellow rubbery tubes hanging outdoors. People were standing inside of them and peeking through. I liked "standing out" (no pun intended) with it as my background.

This fountain/statue was not part of LACMA but at one of the buildings next door. We parked a few blocks away and saw this on the way back to our car.

There is so much art, food, and culture in Los Angeles. We have the upper hand when it comes to having access to all types of food, people, and experiences. I know some people want to just get away and live somewhere different (even if it means moving to a different county). And once upon a time, I did too (San Francisco was the plan -- still love it). I think exploring other places is fine and I encourage it! But just know where you're from and give credit where credit is due.

Have a great Monday!

Just Around the Corner

According to Gaga in her "Marry the Night" video, she says that Mint is going to BIG this Spring at approximately 1:08. Yeah well, she was right. It's all over the place and in time, if not early, for Spring!

I'm not as big on pastels as I used to be in high school. I really haven't touched much of it except for some blush pink hues in my wardrobes. Today, I gave mint a chance.

Playful Work Attire

Today I tried to have fun with my wardrobe. I think I come up with better outfit choices on the whim. I can never plan out my outfits ahead of time. It makes my head hurt too much. My outfit today went something a little like this:

Asos Pleated Top with Black Tie Sash - Out of Stock. Similar here in cobalt

Ralph Lauren Houndstooth Pencil Skirt from Macy's - Mine is actually a similar skirt, a "vintage" Express skirt

Vince Camuto Black Pumps - Got mine from Nordstrom Rack for $40

Blue Blazer similar to Anh's from 9to5 Chic - Got mine from H&M for $15

I decided to tuck my blouse in, wear the blue blazer over it, and add some nice pumps to the mix to give me some height. I also had my hair up in a messy bun similar to Keiko Lynn's and I was good to go! Got a few compliments today. Always a good feeling.
