Birthday Blue

At the core of my blog is the sole purpose: one of those purposes is celebrating. With every post I write, I want to celebrate creativity, style, goals achieved, and fun! Birthdays are one of the biggest celebrations in our lives because as humans, we see the day we were born as a big deal of course!

New York Trip Diary

I wanted to share each day about my experiences and outfits (I will put links to the store's website if I have time) on my first trip to New York. This is an ongoing  post so I’ll post when I have time as I go. I had wanted to blog every day, but as I am used to California time, am trying to fit as many things into one day as possible, AND want to get at least a couple hours of sleep, I do not believe it is possible. The pictures I am sharing are mostly all taken by me, the ones with me in them are of course taken by other people (mostly my sister Steph).
Update: I decided to just write it all at once as a recap and post it after I was done (and yes, that means almost 3 months after my actual trip!).

View from first flight- bad quality iPhone pic, but GORGEOUS sunset.

I absolutely love plane pictures, seeing everything from above is so breathtaking, especially at night! All the lights look like glittering diamonds!

Shopping (with Super Savings)

Wanted to share my latest steals! They were all really great deals and I am super excited to put some outfits together with my new pieces.

I was so excited when I got an email saying Nordstrom Rack was having a limited-time sale event for Alex and Ani bangles powered by Haute Look. I got both of these for $14.97 a piece. (They are both normally $28.00!) You can find these and other styles on the Alex and Ani website, linked here. They are also sold online at Nordstrom Rack (where there are still some on sale!!) and at Nordstrom (both online and in store).

Absolutely in love with these cheetah print sandals I found at Target, on clearance for $9.98. Linked here is the white version online right now for $16.98. My favorite part of these sandals is the back, it is knotted in the back with gold metal on the straps!
