Bittersweet

This last trip to LA, just me and Shane, was a little nostalgic. It was my final trip sans the "new edition," at least for a few months and since my brother moved home we'll have a different home base in the future. LA is like my second home so I'll miss my monthly city fix dearly. Plus, when we start traveling with the lady bug, we won't be doing the same things anymore. Granted, we'll be starting new and beautiful memories, but nonetheless visits to LA will be different. Typically my spare time would have been spent at my favorite shopping spots around town, but this trip was about eating everything my heart desired and visiting old stomping grounds for memory's sake.

I'll miss this neighborhood

We were lucky to have beautiful weather again. Hence the short shorts.

I can get soon-tofu anywhere, but I crave it most in LA

Snack time! Hawaii should have fruit vendors at every street corner, like in LA.

We have the best papaya and mangos, but they have the best strawberries!

A cupcake showdown in Beverly Hills. Crumbs vs. Sprinkles. Yes, I had to try both places!

Crumbs? Colossal and heavily accessorized!

Sprinkles? Humble and to the point.

Verdict? Less is more, Sprinkles wins!

Plus, Sprinkles gets bonus points for these!

I am sort of relieved, however, to not have to travel in the near future because let me tell ya, trying to look cute while packing some extra lbs. is not any easy task. Nor a comfortable one. That's also the reason for the lack of personal fashion posts lately. I've resorted to wearing tunic-like tops with the same rotation of leggings and smocked waist Jolt shorts. Ugh, so boring! But only 6-7 more weeks to go. Then, it's exercise boot camp for me so I can squeeze in the last month of summer fashion! My goal being, to be able to wear my flare jeans and assortment of high waist culottes before they're seasonably out of style.
