Wine Tasting & Stylish Tuesday Link Up!

Last Saturday, Dr. D and I went to go check out Miramonte Winery and had the best time! It's a charming vineyard in Temecula, CA and had stunning views. We bought a Groupon deal which gave us 4 wine tastings, a bottle of wine to take home and souvenir wine glasses.

With a bar located on the patio and another inside we took advantage of the different bartenders working and managed to squeeze in 6 tastings rather than 4 and ended up taking home 2 free bottles rather than 1. I felt like I scored a major deal, but just as guilty at the same time.

I made up for it by buying a bottle of wine and giving a more than generous tip. Does this make up for it? Probably not, but in my book it totally evened everything out!

1 Piece, 2 Ways: California Girl Edition

I'm so excited to introduce the 1 Piece, 2 Ways: California Girl Edition with all of y'all! Once a month the lovely Lauren from Style of One's Own and I will show you how we wear one piece, but styled in our own way! Obviously given the name we're both California girls (Lauren born and raised, while I just moved here last spring) who have similar feminine & preppy styles!

We both paired the leopard top with black and gold accessories, yet our looks are so different. Lauren's pants are to die for (not to mention they show off her killer figure) and I love how chic the entire look is due to minimal accessories!

I don't dress "edgy" that often so when we decided to do a leopard top I immediately  knew I wanted to pair it with my new faux-leather skirt. Since the outfit was a bit urban, I took the pictures in my parking garage because the ruggedness seemed to match the outfit perfectly! Please forgive the white bandeau, it was supposed to hide my bra not look like one!

Top & Shoes: Francesca's // Skirt: H&M // Bandeau & Bangle: Forever 21 // Necklace: Cornucopia // Watch: Michael Kors // Bracelet: Prep Obsessed // Earrings: Versona // Lips: Covergirl "Malicious Red"

Printed Shorts for Days

It’s been a while since I had someone take my pictures for the blog so when I made the trip up to Dr. Dl’s yesterday he offered to help me out. They’re not the best, but he’s been a good sport about it and eventually we’ll get the hang of it! I grabbed dinner with my girlfriend Annie the other night and absolutely DIED when I saw these gorgeous printed shorts from H&M. They were simply a must have and at $14 with tax, I simply couldn’t say no!

Couldn't decide on the shoes!
