feeling lazy. meh.

I feel like I've been neglecting this space lately, and to be honest, I just haven't been inspired to write/share photos in the past week or so. I'm a bum.

But here's some snaps of my life as of late.

A few weeks ago, a photografriend asked me to be a model for a quick shoot she had to do for Pacific San Diego Magazine, so of course I said yes! So I got to ride a horse for a few hours at these beautiful riding grounds in Ramona. I can't wait to see how the photos turned out.

My kittah is a nut. Who thinks my bed is actually her bed.

Exploring hallways/nooks and crannies with friends + taking photos with said friends = a good day.

My first time eating a Smashburger. They had me at mushroom and swiss. It was pretty dang tasty!

this week's Bringers-Of-Happiness

These are the things that made me happy this week (and the week before, if you wanna get technical):

Okay, I'm still getting used to all this southern California weather. And even though I just came from southern Spain, whose weather is nearly identical to here, for some reason it felt "normal" over there and now feels foreign over here. But I'm not complaining, I swear. Give me sunny and 80 degrees every day of the year, and I'll die a happy woman.

I've been wanting to try the whole brightly-colored-pants thing for a while, so when I saw these at Forever 21, I snatched them up, tried them on, and bam. Instant mood-lifter. The only downside is now the rest of my closet looks depressingly lacking in color next to these bad boys.

Oh neighborhood walks, you surprise me yet again and fill me with joy. While walking home from a coffee stop one morning, the mister and I found this. Behold this epic (plastic?) rhino guarding his turf, complete with rusty chain to ward off any thievery. And now it makes me really curious to know more about the people who live at this house. Surely we would get along?

What's better than watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Watching it poolside at The Pearl Hotel's dive-in theater night! A very spontaneous date night, I must say, but so fun.
