Arboretum

This post is very photo heavy so I'll try to keep this relatively short. I spent Thursday afternoon with Nataly and had a wonderful time — well, minus a minor car accident with a pole, which I'll explain next time. We had lunch (or rather, breakfast at lunch time) at a cute little place in downtown Fullerton and then headed to the Fullerton Arboretum for plenty of nature and photo taking. It was an awesome day, as expected.

My brother, Lucas, came into town last week for a short visit and he and I spent the day together last Wednesday. After getting breakfast at our dad's restaurant, we went to an outdoor mall close-by and ended up in Urban since it was one of the only stores that carried both men's and women's clothes. I found myself coming back to a pair of coral oxfords and this top in the sale section, but kept talking myself out of getting them to save money. I'm not sure if he was just tired of hearing me go back and forth about buying them or if he really is just that nice (he really is just that nice), but Lucas insisted on buying them for me. Apparently he forgot to get me a birthday present last year, and with my birthday only a couple weeks away, he wouldn't take no for an answer. If any of you thought your brothers were cool, think again.

Hanging Out

One of the things I was most looking forward to coming home was the chance to hang out with Nataly again. Nataly and I actually met through blogging, and when we found out that we both lived in Orange County, we jumped at the chance to hang out at the end of last summer. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to get together when I was home over winter break, so we made sure to make up for it this time. On Friday night, we met up in Downtown Fullerton for some shopping, dinner, and pictures. And of course, it was glorious. Nataly is SO sweet and so much fun, I only wish I had known she was living close to me sooner. We both ended up with some great pieces too — she with a gorgeous vintage lace dress I convinced her to buy, and me with some dresses and my first maxi skirt that she convinced me to buy. For once, Buffalo Exchange came through and bought some of my stuff. (Speaking of which, I still have a ton of stuff to get rid of and I updated my shop if you'd like to shop my closet.)

I'm trying to convince Nataly to promote her blog more because it's incredibly cute, so help me out by following her! I'm hoping to hang out with her a ton more this summer, so you might as well get used to seeing ehr.
