Hometown Glory

I'm usually one to criticize the town I live in, for the typical things of it being lame and there being nothing to do. It just has never felt that special to me. I've lived here for 19 years, and yes, just now I'm starting to accept and possibly appreciate it. 
There's this little downtown situated near the train tracks that never really appealed to me because of it's odd shops, and few restaurants, but when I went behind the buildings and saw all the old brick walls and hidden staircases I became in awe of it. It's a great place to take photos with all the cool backdrops to choose from. Very cool and very vintage, who knew!?
Taking the place where you live for granted is probably a big mistake but I think I'm starting to come around. It may have taken 19 years, but some thing just take time. I'm learning to appreciate it now and that's all that matters.

Hello : August

Bonjour Août! ( Hello August en français ) . I thought today would be a great day to start a new phase of my blog. A transition from fashion to lifestyle. Sounds boring, I know. Until I can find someone to take photos of me, I'm going to have to take them myself. Which is A-OK, because there are a lot of random topics I would love to talk about on here! Things like music, food, beauty, mental health, etc. etc.  _____________________________ I will begin this new phase with a list of August Intentions! Inspired by an Instagram post. 1. Meditate more frequently (because girl you know it helps) 2. Get outside a few minutes everyday (weather permitting) 3. Eat yo greens 4. Be grateful, everyday 5. SMILE, at everyone. And say hi sometimes :)  _________________________ And finally, a quote for the new month: New Month, New Beginning, New Mindset, New Focus, New Start, New Intentions, New Results. - Words of wisdom my lovely, and newl

San Diego Vibes

For my last one week Spring Break vacation ever , my family and I traveled to San Diego, California. I've been to San Diego before when I had short, curly/frizzy hair, and better yet, braces...Take a second, imagine that image for your own pleasure, and then throw it away forever. You done? Ok good, let's move on.This time around I was a 21 year old college student, and wayyyy hotter so I had a lot more fun :). Two times around makes me feel like I've seen all of San Diego (JK not really, I'm buying a condo when I become a millionaire).  Since I have already witnessed the hilly fortress that is the San Diego Zoo, I had no interest to go again this Spring Break. Instead, my Mom and I ended up right across the street in Balboa Park! The land of museums and gorgeous architecture. It was like walking into a world that fused Morocco, Germany, Hawaii, and Greece into the same space. Incredible. I dressed up this particular day in a fun wid

Bye Bye Luna

Today I handed in the keys to my junior year apartment.  I wanted to capture the view on the roof one more time before I parted ways, and I'm sure you'll all see why it's just that much harder to say goodbye. But change is good and I'm super excited about my new place, my new roommate and going into my senior year of college on a high note! Nothing beats that view though. Hope everyone enjoys the last few days we have left in July! Next stop for me..Vancouver :) ♡Addison
