I'm seriously crushing on Rachel Bilson of late. I wasn't exactly a big fan of the OC but I did love Summer's wardrobe on the show. I especially love Rachel's candid everyday looks. Cool, Casual, Chic but still very much Soul Cal.

Because everyone pairs their Valentino gowns with some Ray Ban avaitors

I always wear my 4 inch black boots to pump gas on a summer day in L.A.

love it.

LOVE this outfit even more. Seriously rocking some Parisian love here.

must get that LV bag!

How cute are these pictures? So cute right?! I came across these picture from Jo and they are like the most darling and creative thing that I came across so far, involving babies and sleeping of course. Her mother, while on maternity leave, is taking her sweet baby girl Mila on some amazing adventures around the world... including outside of this world. On the MOON! Which one is your favorite. You can check out more here.

this song. So soothing and I am pretty sure some of you could relate to it. Have a lovely Thursday!

we're almost done.....

...with July! How did this happen? When did this happen? Time truly does fly fast, whether your old or young. I'm having a hard time coming to terms with my actual age. I swear I don't feel like my actual age! I still feel like that girl that just graduated college, still trying to figure out her way through life. There are times when I feel lost, confused, guilty, scared, excited, anxious and many other things... all at the same time, and sometimes one at a time. There's a saying that I once heard, we have the rest of our lives to figure out what we want to do, who we want to be... to figure things out. Life is that process... you may have bad breaks, good steps and many more mishaps along the way, but that's the cycle of life.
At the moment, I'm currently feeling anxious. I just want grad school to be over with. I'm enjoying it very much, but at the same time, I'm quite over school and want to start teaching... where? I don't know. That remains to be determined. In the states? Overseas? Open up a non-profit? I have no idea. But I do know I have a lot of ideas that I'm still trying to sort out.

i miss...

that city by the bay... the sounds of the cable cars on California Street as I walk to work, the sight of the glistening red Golden Gate Bridge on a beautiful clear day, the SF fog that slowly rolls in at the dusk of dawn, the bustling on Stockton street in Chinatown as I debate which dim sum parlor to grub at, walking up the Stockton Tunnel stairs to get to my favorite dirty dive bar that strongly resembles what an Parisian bar would be like, the sights of toursit wandering every part of the city as if they were locals, the anticipation of getting a waffle cone of salted caramel ice cream from the Mission's Bi-Rite's creamery (best in town) and the lovely people that I now call friends and some even family.

I miss that 7 by 7 city by the bay.

Don't worry folks... Sorry for the radio silence but it's been a crazy 2 months. The last I posted was the beginning of an eventful summer that I wasn't expecting but loved it none the less. The weather hasn't been all the great so I haven't been at the beach laying out and having some fun in the sun.. I wish. Actually, did a weekend getaway in Mexico this past weekend that should make up for any lack of sun-less days in SD. A little bit burnt but I'm ok. I promise to post as soon as I get back into the full swing of things. I haven't been feeling inspired of late to blog because I'm just so stressed and busy and TIRED. Do you know what it does your skin?! Not good things... but things are beginning to calm down until the beginning of Fall... crazy. Anyways, i will start posting again later this week... have no fear, Mary Bo Berry is here!
