TRUE FOOD KITCHEN+OOTN
Finding a restaurant that my whole family likes is always a problem when looking for somewhere to eat. We had seen this restaurant in our area and finally decided to try it out! Its a healthy vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurant and I had the best pizza I had ever had! Our waiter was so friendly and made our experience easy and welcoming. I cant wait to go back!

SUMMER LACE LOOK
SUMMER HAUL
 |
As the weather gets hotter, I was in need of more summer pieces to add to my closet and although I didn'g get anything of color, I can always add accessories to add more color! I'm always leaning towards black and white clothing but I definitely need to break out of that habit and wear more color!
 |
| These tank tops are from Zara and are perfect for layering or simply wearing with a pair of shorts. |
 |
| This black kimono is from Heavenly Couture and I was wearing it in my last post |
 |
| White lace sleeved shirt from H&M. I absolutely love this shirt, its versatile, lightweight and a beautifully delicate piece to style during the warm weather. |
 |
| I've been on the hunt for a large hat like this and when I found it at H&M for only $12 I was extremely happy! It fits really well and its a great item to have during vacation, days to the beach or when you just want to accessorize an outfit. |

| Headbands: Forever 21 | Aviator sunglasses: Aldo |

OUTFIT OF THE DAY
LA LOVE
SUNSETS IN SANTA BARBRA
As I have mentioned in a previous post, Santa Barbra holds a very special place in my heart. I used to come here many times growing up and I know the city like the back of my hand now! I love taking people here that have never been here and show them the most beautiful parts of this wonderful city, Hopefully you feel like I'm giving you a tour through my photos! Enjoy!
 |
| I love looking down on Santa Barbra and seeing all the white buildings surrounding the ocean. The city has a code where they all the buildings and houses have to be white! |

A DAY IN A DANISH VILLAGE
Theres a small danish town in California called Solvang which is near Santa Barbra and I wanted to visit before my trip was over! So on this day we went to visit this village which my family and I had visited numerous times after coming back to LA after our camping trips in Santa Barbra. Its a cute and beautiful place to enjoy a walk along main street, grab lunch or visit the many Danish bakeries.

LA EATS
The past 10 days that I've been in Los Angeles, I went out to eat alot so I decided to dedicate a post all about some of the restaurants I visited on my trip.
Gaby's: Venice
This is a great place for great healthy Mediterranean food in Venice with patio seating and very nice servers. I even received some rolls(pictured below in the left corner)by an elderly woman who works there, I think she thought I was someone else, oh well! 
Cheesecake Factory:Marina Del Rey
This is my absolute favorite Cheesecake factory locations that I've ever visited. It has a great view of the marina, boats and people enjoying the beach.
Urth Cafe: Santa Monica&Pasadena
Anyone who lives in LA knows about Urth Cafe and it wasn't until my last trip that I visited this restaurant and I now know what all the hype was about. Its a great place to grab a bite to eat in the nicely shaded outdoor patio with friends. They have several locations such as in Beverly Hill and downtown but I specifically visited the ones in Santa Monica and Pasadena.
A great place for overpriced fresh juices with extremely friendly employees!
In-n-Out: Westchester
The only burger place worth going in California, I've been here way too many times while living in LA and I believed it deserved a shout out! If you are vegetarian like me, then I suggest ordering the grilled cheese or animal style fries(which is part of the secret menu).

AIRPORT VIBES
BIRTHDAY LUNCH
I'll be turning 18 this Wednesday, which I cant even believe! Its so exciting but a little scary, as I get older and face new challenges and adventures in my life. So in celebration, my family and I had a pre-birthday lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, we have been coming to this restaurant since I was little whether it was to celebrate our birthdays or graduations and we always have a great time! On my birthday I'll be heading off to Los Angeles for 10 days and I plan to do a lot of blog posts of my trip, so be on the look out for those coming in the next two weeks!
 |
| Skinnylicious Veggie Burger |
 |
| Dads' lunch: Chicken Enchiladas |
 |
| Cheesecake would have to be my favorite type of cake so choosing which cheesecake to get is always the hardest part of coming here! |
 |
| We ended up getting the Oreo Chessecake and the Orginal to share |
 |
| Dress: Forever 21 |
Hope you have a great week!
