Hey guys! Happy Monday, this weekend went by way to quickly, but thankfully there’s a long weekend on the horizon. My weekend was pretty calm, I did some cooking, relaxing and even did a killer workout. I also watched a few more episodes of Making a Murderer, sometimes I have to pause it because it’s just so depressing to watch. However, I highly encourage you to check it out.
While in SoCal I fell in love with Venice beach, the vibe there is my jam. I really hope to visit during the summer one day, but that particular day it was a little chilly and it was raining on and off. That didn’t stop us from exploring and taking tons of pics. I’m pretty sure I ended up with sand in my booties but it was worth it. We played around in the sand, walked around the strip and took turns at taking each others pics. I wore this tee that I also have in burgundy, paired with the softest oversized plaid shirt ever. Express has so many colors and I have it in 4 colors. See I am wearing the belt have been talking about for weeks, how awesome is it? It matches my booties perfectly.
My “Pick of the Week” are these Nike kicks, they are sooo cool. I really want them in grey.

I really love the burgundy shirt from Express. The color is gorgeous against your complexion! Venice was definitely a chill vibe. I would love to rent a beach house there if ever in Cali again!

We’ve started making a murder too, and I agree, I cannot watch too many in a row. This looks like such a fun place to explore. I can see why you liked it so much. Loving the belt detail.

Love the relaxed vibe of these pics! They definitely fit the vibe of Venice beach. I like it there too! Lots of interesting people watching and cool bars. And yes, making a murderer is so addicting! We are on episode 4 so far.
Love this layered look! I just started Making a Murderer last night!

Oh i love these boots, they remind me of boots I had when I was in high school and my David Bowie days, such a sad day. But I love how you styled yours for the beach!

I bought the same plaid top from Express (I have 2 colors & I want more)… I completely agree that they are the softest fabric and I love the comfort too!
These photos are so fun! Love how you layered that plaid top! I may have to copy this since I basically have all the pieces!

Great shots (despite the weather not wanting to cooperate with you). You look beautiful! Those booties really are just too cute. My husband and I watched MAM…powerful.
First time participating in your link up and I’m so glad I found it! Your outfit is adorable. I love the plaid top!
Loving that Chloe bag, I want one!
