Lately in Los Angeles, our weather has felt more like Florida with the heat, humidity and (gasp) even some rain! These Roxy sunglasses remind me of Miami and make me wish I was relaxing under palm trees on a white sandy beach with an adult beverage in hand. I got them via <a href="http://eyewears.com/pages/landingA2?utm_expid=105930248-1.uSXSZLxcRdarjohVgyJ2VA.2">Eyewares</a> who promote activity and adventure through their offering of quality eyeglasses, without the high price. Check out them to join their VIP waitlist!<br />

Last week I turned 30, something I had been dreading ever since I was a child. Growing up in the nineties, it was all about being young, carefree and pretty much never becoming an adult. I'm reminded of that feeling while watching some of my favorite movies from the time, Empire Records, Reality Bites, Dazed and Confused, Can't Hardly Wait, Hook. All movies encompass the same spirit of youth growing up and seeing those before them that didn't do it well. To me, thirty was that scary, now you're <i>really</i> an adult and not-so-cool anymore age. In all my wisdom now of being thirty for a week and three days (still a total child), I have realized not only is it not so bad, but it's actually kind of <b>great!</b><br />

I can actually cook real meals now and instead of spending my income eating out constantly, I prefer having people over for drinks and dinner. I feel wiser, more engaged and I'm pretty sure people in my career consider me more of a peer (I'm a teacher with a nose-ring who looks not much older than those I teach). I'm starting out this decade eating healthier, drinking less and working out more than in the previous one and as a result, hope to keep this twenty-something bod. I don't mind "missing out" on things like I used to as there are some nights where I really would prefer to go to bed early and I'm perfectly happy doing so. I have more confidence in myself and my abilities and if someone doesn't like me, I'm just fine with that. And I finally have a savings (it may be super small but it <b>does</b> exist) so I can finally take mini (and hopefully soon not-so-mini) trips!<br />

This is a very big week for me. In addition to teaching over the summer, we are moving to a new home, I am hosting my very first giveaway and I'm turning 30! As I've transitioned from a mid to a late twenty-something, I noticed my style has gotten much more minimalistic. Instead of purchasing a lot of small trendy pieces, I now focus on getting a few classic staples that can be worn in different ways. </div>

I am so excited and honored to take part in the <a href="http://www.minniegeorge.com/">Minnie + George</a> lookbook, a project in which 10 bloggers were asked to shoot one of the new bags in the collection. Handcrafted in Portland, Oregon by Lori Caldwell, Minnie + George bags are simple in design, yet expertly crafted with leather hides sourced from a 4 generation family business in Oregon, <a href="http://www.oregonleatherco.com/">Oregon Leather Co</a>. Lori named the company after her parents, Minnie and George Caldwell, who were/are her biggest supporters and have demonstrated the importance of love, hard work, dedication and commitment to personal excellence; qualities she exemplifies in her work and craft. All of her bags are classic, minimalist and durable and there is a bag that seems to fit everyone's personal style!<br />
<br />
I took my <a href="http://www.minniegeorge.com/shop-womens-handbags/standard-hand-stitched-tote">Standard Hand-Stitched Tote</a> to my neighborhood park for a mini picnic with my friend <a href="http://www.prettylittlefawn.com/">Courtney </a>who helped me snap a few shots.<br />

Recently I've been seeing so many fun nail designs on social media with the mention of the name <a href="http://www.melizjamies.jamberrynails.net/">Jamberries</a>. I wasn't sure what that was and then an old friend emailed me letting me know she was selling them and asked if I wanted a starter kit. She had me choose between two designs and two days later, they had arrived. The kit came with the nail designs, directions, a nail file, an alcohol wipe and an orange stick-everything one needs to apply (other than a hairdryer). I am somewhat simple and get a little overwhelmed by the thought of trying new things, but one night after Yoga, I found some free time to test them out. It turns out it was so easy! They honestly took less than 5 minutes to apply four different ones and there was no dry time!<br />

I have been trying to simplify my wardrobe for some time and <a href="https://www.everlane.com/">Everlane</a> makes it easy for me. Their clothes are perfect for casual settings or for work so I have been able to clear out the old clothes to make room for less but more suitable pieces.</div>

Welcome 2015! It's a new year and I am excited to see everything this year has in store. It's not that 2014 was a bad year, it was actually a good year of growth in many ways. Like most people going into the new year, I created goals and hope to stick with them past the first three weeks of January. Some of these goals are relationship centered, some physical, some career oriented and some spiritual. Something I would love to do more of this year is mindfulness and working on being present. I also want to live for the moment more and not live in fear of the unknown, basically to take more risks and enjoy the adventures. <br />
<br />
Speaking of adventures, we rang in the new year by heading up the coast a couple of hours to the small town of Los Alamos. We stayed at the <a href="http://www.rememberthealamomotel.com/">Alamo Motel</a> (a must stay) and slowly meandered our way back to LA on New Year's Day. We went with our friends Eric and Courtney (<a href="http://www.prettylittlefawn.com/">pretty little fawn)</a> and had such a fun-filled time! Here are some shots of NYE and our lodgings.<br />

Happy first day of December!!! I can't believe the holiday season is already upon us! The past 3 years, my husband and I have had to move during the month of December due to circumstances beyond our control (thanks LA windstorm of 2011) or because that is when our lease was up wherever we lived from 2012-2013 (<i>again</i>, thanks LA windstorm of 2011). This is the very first holiday season since we've been married where we don't (<i>fingers tightly crossed)</i> need to move out...soooo we actually get to decorate and get into the Christmas spirit. For that, I am <b>super</b> thankful!</div>

p.s. did absolutely no shopping on Black Friday (per usual) as I get super anxious and overwhelmed by crowds so I look forward to last minute shopping, like most people, after school gets out for Winter Break!</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Lately I have been completely inundated with work. Between the end of the trimester grades, researching grad school options, completing my clear credential program and taking on extra responsibilities at work, I have somehow found time to start running again, pursue my personal interests in writing and begin updating my wardrobe. Red is not a common color in my closet (as in I have only one red item and it's a vintage button-down blouse), but I thought I would take a chance. I was surprised at how flattering the color and style of this dress were! I can't wait to wear this out to a holiday party to dance around while sipping on a spiced cranberry cocktail. Tis the season!</span></div>

Even though we are technically well into fall by now, it sure doesn't feel that way in LA. Days are still reaching the 80s and 90s and I'm still waiting for "first crisp" that evening when it is chilly, the air is crisp and it smells like fall. Until that comes, I have been embracing the fact I can still wear dresses all day long. This dress is from <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx?utm_source=CJ&utm_medium=affiliate">eShakti</a>, a site where you can customize your size and how you want your item to look. Categories such as length, sleeve style, neckline can all be changed to give you a tailor made garment perfect for you. I love this dress for the colors, pattern and the way it flows when I spin.<br />

Today is my last day off before I head back to work. I didn't <i>really</i> get a "summer" this year as once I was done with the school year, I had one day off before teaching summer school. This year, two weeks was enough time for me to clean out my closet and sell/donate half of my clothes, tidy up the house, make it to the beach once <b>and</b> a pool, finally complete <i>The Sopranos</i> and binge watch two seasons of <i>House of Cards</i>. We are also currently dog sitting my husband's dog, Jazz, who stayed living with his mother when we got married. So technically, my summer was filled with dog days (you can find the original meaning of the phrase <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_days">HERE</a>). I have pretty much been living in all white the past few months and with the purging of my wardrobe, I made sure to keep simple staples with clean lines. </div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Like everyone else living in Los Angeles, I love going to my local farmer’s market and getting seasonal fruits and veggies to inspire my culinary adventures. During my last visit, the scents of sweet nectarines were so enticing that I couldn’t resist buying a few too many. In sticking with my theme of seasonal living, I made a few summer cocktails to enjoy on the porch with my husband in the summer evening breeze. Check out a few of my other Nectarine Farmer's Market cocktails at <a href="http://www.cgcdaily.com/clean-eats/summer-farmers-market-cocktails-nectarine">CGC Daily</a>.</span></span><br />

Lately all my time has been divided between planning/teaching summer school and rearranging my home. I am focusing on getting organized (something I struggle with at home) and getting rid of things I do not need. In addition, when I have been purchasing any new clothes, I am making sure that they are items that are simple staples that will last through seasons. This dress fits that description perfectly and is my favorite summer piece with it's simple lines and timeless look.</div>

Lately I have been on a bit of a spending freeze as we had some car problems a couple of months ago that cost us more than we would have preferred to spend on a car <b>and</b> we are taking a very budgeted mini-vacation in a week to NYC! But when I popped into Urban a few weeks ago and saw this dress, I <i>had to </i>get it. It is perfectly 90s, reflects my current obsession with roses, the fit is so flattering and when I look at it, <i>Lovefool</i> by The Cardigans plays in my head. It is the perfect dress to throw on for any occasion (even walking Finn around the neighborhood) and will most certainly be a summer staple. </div>

This is my favorite time of the year as a few of my favorite fruits come in season: pineapple, watermelon and blackberries. It seems like this season, it is all things pineapple, everywhere! This trend is getting me excited for summer days spent reading by the water (after teaching summer school of course) and evening BBQs with friends and tiki drinks on the porch.<br />

Last week we had a post-Mother's Day celebration lunch for my mother-in-law and she asked what dish I would like to bring. She was going to have BBQ chicken and pasta salad and I wanted another side that would compliment the spread and an additional option for my now vegan husband to eat. I love a good coleslaw that has a bit of a kick and some tang, so I used a basic vegan coleslaw recipe and added some ingredients to make it my own. The result was delicious and I'm so glad I made enough to use the two days following to compliment our meals at home. I may make some more this weekend for a Memorial Day BBQ.</div>

Yesterday, the video for <a href="http://lineandcirclemusic.tumblr.com/">Line & Circle'</a>s new single, "Mine is Mine" was released by Stereogum. The song is melancholy yet upbeat and the video chronicles a girl who is surrounded by people in a city, but still feels disconnected so she must go out to nature in order to feel connected and alive again. Line & Circle is a local Echo Park band who recently played in LA opening for The War on Drugs. They are easy on the eyes and their sound reminds me of early REM mixed with New Order and I cannot wait for the whole album to come out later this year! <br />

Last week it was way too hot in LA and while summer officially begins in a month, it came early this year. I found this dress at Crossroads a couple of weeks ago and thought I would need to wait until July/August to wear it, but I was able to wear it sooner than expected. I love the indigo blue palm trees and the 1920s style drop waist. Paired with some Swedish Hasbeens that remind me of the 20s/30s, I felt like an F.Scott Fitzgerald character named after a flower or herb, so naturally, we went out and I ordered a gin cocktail.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Last week was a bit of a crazy week. On Tuesday we celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary by grabbing late afternoon drinks at the Ace Hotel rooftop bar, then headed out west to </span><a href="http://www.crossroadskitchen.com/" style="text-align: center;">Crossroads</a><span style="text-align: center;"> for some delicious vegan cuisine, and ended the night with some Scoops ice cream at home watching the Sopranos. We also had my sister-in-law and her husband visiting from Boston and they happened to be staying with us on the hottest day of the year so far. Last week's heat wave was ridiculous and as hot as it was outside, it was actually cooler than inside our second story, no a/c apartment. Stranded without a car after work one day, I did the only thing reasonable and walked to the park with a throw and a book to sit in the shade and enjoy the warm evening outdoors. By the time the weekend came, I was exhausted and ready for some relief from the heat so we drove to Orange County and took an afternoon nap with the sounds of the waves and an ocean breeze. It was perfect!</span><br />

I must preface this by saying I am fairly new to DIY projects, but it seems the past few Mother's Days I have decided to make gifts for my mom and mother-in-law. Two years ago, I made them terrariums <a href="http://alisialynn.blogspot.com/2012/05/diy-terrariums.html">(HERE)</a>, last year I made sugar scrub <a href="http://alisialynn.blogspot.com/2013/06/homemade-sugar-scrub.html">(HERE)</a> and this year, I decided to make them lavender soap. It was easier than I expected and I am super excited to get more oils and make other soaps for my friends and family. </div>

Yesterday was Mother's Day and the weather was absolutely perfect for a backyard brunch at my parents house in Orange County with my entire family and both of my grandmas. It is always so nice to go down and relax at home while just laughing all day with my siblings. The day turned into an evening BBQ, a bike ride around the park and ended with everyone piled onto couches watching <i>Frozen</i>. </div>

Ever since my husband started eating vegan again, I have been trying to think of ways to alter some our favorite dishes. I absolutely love enchiladas, but they aren't the same without cheese...and no, I am not a fan of cheese substitutes (give me the real thing or nothing at all). This bowl was inspired by one of my favorite neighborhood spots, <a href="http://www.sageveganbistro.com/">Sage</a> in Echo Park. Their Mole Bowl is so delicious and my husband's favorite so I decided to recreate it as an enchilada bowl. It only took about 25 minutes and was so simple that it is now my go-to meal.<br />
<br />
<i>Recipe:</i><br />
<i>While the quinoa is cooking, chop up desired veggies and sauté in coconut oil with cumin and lime juice (I used onions, bell pepper, zucchini and cauliflower). When veggies are nearly done, add black beans to the pan and then enchilada sauce. Simmer over low heat for about 3-5 minutes. Mix cooked quinoa and veggies together in a large bowl, serve, garnish with avocado and fresh salsa and enjoy!</i>alisialynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05967671597149502749noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311174320569466619.post-39345857160905559622014-05-06T08:00:00.000-07:002014-05-06T08:00:01.150-07:00Warby Parker Summer Collection<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last week, it was over 85 degrees in Los Angeles for six consecutive days. Anyone who is a southern California native, knows that our endless summer is rapidly approaching and warmer weather is here to stay (at least until mid-November when our "winter weather" sets in). This being said, I am so excited about the new Warby Parker Summer Collection. I am sure everyone knows about Warby Parker and their <a href="http://www.warbyparker.com/home-try-on">Home Try-On program</a>, but I recently learned that they have a <a href="http://www.warbyparker.com/do-good#home">Do-Good program</a> where they will donate a pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair that is purchased. Since warmer weather has already arrived, I am currently in the market for some summer shades and <span id="goog_1027924594"></span><span id="goog_1027924595"></span>love their new styles!! Here are a few of my favorites.<br />

It has been so incredibly HOT in LA this week! Like many places on the eastside, we do not have a/c and in the evening our house has been "cooling down" to 80 degrees. All I want to do is go on a simple trip, somewhere by the sea, where I can just relax and take in the cool ocean breeze! Given my current inability to have a getaway, I have relied on post work margaritas to help me feel like I'm on a mini-vacation….salute!</div>

This weekend we had a fundraiser event for my work which was the perfect excuse to get dressed up for an evening downtown filled with drinks, hors d'oeuvres and socializing. We ended the night at the <a href="https://www.acehotel.com/losangeles">Ace Hotel </a>rooftop bar with a few co-workers for a fun Saturday night out. </div>
