pit stop: san antonio

2011-10-09T11:57:00.002-04:00

on my trip, we made a quick pit stop in downtown san antonio to check out a few sites and have lunch at the riverwalk. san antonio was nice. i was really tired.

ps. the fact that the only shopping we had time for was in a souvenir shop didn't stop me from picking up a few cheesy things. i secretly love souvenir shops.

road trip diary: marfa, texas

2011-10-05T23:02:00.002-04:00

one of my good friends moved to san diego, so we took a little (ha!) road trip there last weekend and one the way we had the chance to spend the day in marfa, texas. jane of sea of shoes put this place on my map with her posts and i was stoked to be able to experience it for myself.

we drove around for a little bit to get our bearings and figure out where we wanted to start exploring (everywhere) and where we should park the car (anywhere).

i really wanted to eat lunch at the food shark, on the dining bus, but sadly it was closed on saturdays. thankfully, this little crepe truck was waiting for us under a pavilion and the roasted veggie was awesome.

marfa is the home of the movie giant with elizabeth taylor and james dean, two of the dreamiest and most iconic actors of all time.

moonlight gemstones was so beautiful. paul graybeal and ben toro create the absolute most beautiful custom jewelry, which you can order through their site and the rock collection is absolutely incredible.

cochineal was delicious and it is the quaintest little space with small red tables and matching chairs set up in a gravel courtyard with christmas lights twinkling in the surrounding trees. the butternut squash soup was so good, mmmm i could totally go for that right now.

padres was super fun and full of locals and out of towners. there was a strange mix of young kids, hipsters, and cowboys. the vibe was really relaxed and the beer was cheap. my kind of place, for sure.

being from florida, texas was pretty surreal in general, but marfa was a little special. the people were cool and interesting and most of all, really nice. plus, i have a serious addiction to old things, vintage worn out books for example, and marfa felt like an entire bookstore full of them, but with impeccably crisp white pages. like it had never been opened.

i love that no matter their inspiration, jack and lazaro consistently manage to keep their clothes fit for a lady, but styled for an it girl. the pieces are always elegant and the cuts are so feminine, yet they're so much fun and nothing stuffy. styled right, any of these looks could be paired with sneakers and a messy topknot. and don't even get me started on the sunglasses. #bangin'

i love the lavender paired with a sort of pale yellow which could almost be described as a faded neon. the first look is totally to die for THAT BLAZER #perfect. phillip lim always hits it right on the nose with the dreamiest color palette and chic fits.

i've always been obsessed with sneakers, and these were no different. i fell in love with these sneakers from marc by marc jacobs. really similar to the isabel marant ones, but who cares there is a SHINY RED HIDDEN WEDGE SNEAKER HERE. visors i can't get into, but this...this i can do.

i went to lollapalooza in chicago this past weekend, and it was pretty wild. so many awesome outfits--it made me wish i had a nice camera to stalk people with. besides obviously attending the festival with everyone else in the entire city, i lounged on rooftops until 4am, ran around in wrigleyville, broke a dress in the street, changed into a new dress on said street (thanks forever 21, for always being there in an emergency), ate chocolate ice cream waiting in the sun for the el, got soaked in the rain, cuddled my bff, and ate a billion peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. chicago summers are pretty dreamy.

puerto rico

2011-07-27T22:13:00.000-04:00

i visited san juan, puerto rico 2 weeks ago for the weekend with some friends for my birthday (i'm 24 wtf). all we did was drink medalla light and eat mofongo. just kidding, even though that's what it feels like. we hiked en el yunque, lounged beachside, went shopping in old san juan, and went kayaking in the middle of the night. it was a whirlwind of awesome. and probably the most outdoorsy i've ever been.

BUT upcoming trips to puerto rico for my birthday in july (!!!!) and lollapalooza in august (!!!!!) should satisfy my appetite just a little bit. happy monday dudes!
