Stylish Tuesday + Cheers to 2 Years Dr. D!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

First I have some great news ... I FINALLY found the most amazing apartment in LA! My new roomie is amazing and we're sharing a massive loft in West LA with 3 patios and and rooftop access. I'm still pinching myself with how lucky I got. Oh and did I mention there's laundry IN the unit? For all of the non-Los Angeles goer's out there this is a HUGE deal and knock on wood I've been lucky enough to have it in each place I've lived. 

As soon as I get nice and settled I'll post photos of my new abode, until then it's a ton of unpacking and organizing followed by some super fun decorating and DIY time. Pinterest is already my BFF but we're about to spend some super quality time together!

Since I found this place so suddenly, the move was put into high gear and I packed all of my stuf in 3 days and moved in a total of 7 hours to the other side of town. Naturally, blogging was put to the back burner because let's be real I needed a roof over my head; therefore, I know I shared this outfit 2 weeks ago but never got around to telling the story of Dr. D's and my 2 year anniversary so here we go!

Enjoying our picnic behind the wine sign 
I loved all of the cute decor Malibu Wines had on display 
We had a spectacular picnic lunch filled with chicken strips, brie & triscuits and grapes. Don't judge! 
We had a wonderful time wine tasting and reminiscing about the last two years we've spent together. After that we re-lived our childhood and saw "Muppets Most Wanted." We may be 25 but we're still kids at heart!

Month In Instagram: March

March was the kick off of my career going from abnormally busy to completely chaotic. Here's a sneak peek into my life and what all happened throughout March.

Jeff the Cat and I had some serious bonding time. He's going to claw the death out of me when I take that chevron blanket to my new apartment. I swear he thinks it's his!
I received a stunning gown from 1 Dress Co UK to wear to the Oscars!
The Govrnors Ball was completely breathtaking and seeing John Legend perform 2 feet from me wasn't half bad either!
I worked BTS of the "Men of Style" Angeleno photoshoot at Montage Beverly Hills
Saw snow capped mountains in 85 degree weather ... only in California!
Torured Jeff while I watched the Bachelor finale ... oh vey Juan Pablo is a hot mess
Enjoyed a breakfast of champions or a 5 year old. You decide.
Naturally had a green beer (or five) on St. Patty's Day! 
Was reassured that A) earthquakes are freaky and B) my friends are the best no matter how far away
Just a typical day at the office ... just this time I was caught in action by the lovely JD of Red Carpet Report
Bacon Bourbon cocktail at the So Cal Blogger Society Brunch .... so yummy!
Attended my first blogger event at Areal restaurant for the So Cal Spring Fling Blogger Brunch
Bottomless mimosas and delicious food y'all!
Dr. D and I celebrated our 2 years at Malibu wines
Went on a dinner date with my ZTA bestie in LA

Month In Instagram: February

The work week is officially at the half way point y'all!

I just want to say how much I appreciated all of the emails and comments after yesterday's post. It's crazy to think that people you've never even met can make you feel so good about yourself. One of the MANY perks of blog land which I'm honored to share with you ladies!

February was a pretty blah month for me. Work was busier than usual; however, I've always thought that January and February tend to fly by as I adjust into the new year. This past month I realized how genuine a lot of my friendships are, how desert can cure anything and that being 25 is actually kinda fun. I can't wait to see what happens in March and for St. Patty's day this weekend!

1. Wearing a skirt that twirls makes any day fun
2. Indulged in my favorite, chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake
3. Finally got chilly enough to wear my new Everly sweater
4. Received flowers from my sweet Dr. D on Valentine's Day

5. Spent an afternoon catching up on US Weekly in the Coy Pond garden by work
6. Came home to a homemade Italian feast from Dr. D -- man is too good to me
7. Spent my 2 year Friend-iversary with my first CA friend and partner in crime
8.  Received my amazing goodies for the Academy Awards from 1 Dress Co UK

9. Received the Oscar wine at work .... always a phenomenal day
10. Went on a night hike in Pacific Palisades - one of the coolest things I've ever experienced

11. Took the plunge and went blonder than I normally ever do
12. Celebrated Margo's birthday in Culver City
13. Tried Zevia for the first time and am now obsessed!
14. Had my first photo shoot ever at LACMA - thanks again Dana!
15. Had Chips Ahoy send me back the most hysterical tweet I've ever gotten.
Make sure to eat cookies in moderation folks!

I hope everyone has a phenomenal Wednesday. I know I can't wait to enjoy the afternoon with a little more sunshine thank to Daylight Savings!

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!
