​I planned a last minute trip to LA for Memorial Day Weekend to visit Rachael and took her to one of my (old) favorite parties-- The Do Over. Surprisingly when we arrived, I had no desire to stay longer than 30 minutes and perhaps I'm entering that period in my life where that scene no longer appeals to me. Overall, the trip was really fun and we got to eat at Tender Greens for lunch and Kitchen 24 for some late night grub after partying at Greystone Manor Saturday night. I was in major need of a girls night out/girls trip and missed the getting ready together part, so I enjoyed that very much. My Vine's have a few clips of us out and about, so if you have that app you can follow me there!

There's nothing like a full length skirt paired with a crop top, a statement necklace, and some chic heels that'll make you feel more refined. The highlighter yellow combination adds a nice pop of color to give the outfit some edge. Channeling one of my favorite bloggers Blaire Eadie who always gets this kind of look right. 

On the note of inspiration, I recently watched The Great Gatsby and loved Baz Luhrmann's adaptation. Don't know what's up with all the negative reviews but I really enjoyed the movie and more so the soundtrack -- I'm obsessed with this song Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey. And finally speaking of music, I really love Daft Punk's new album Random Access Memories. You can stream it online here
