It's still hot and climate change "doesn't exist". Classic Michelle, disappears from her blog for a couple months to return with some excuse. Well to be honest, I have no excuse. I have really been enjoying my senior year of college and that plus taking 17 units has kept me a little busy. </div>

My friend snapped these photos of me this summer on one of his film cameras and I love the way they turned out. Full disclosure, he did indeed photoshop me just a little. I don't think my ass looks that great in person. Though we shot this in the summer, this outfit is still appropriate in Los Angeles as it is November and still sunny and warm. Just to briefly discuss the outfit, the skirt is from <i>Topshop</i> and the little crop top is from <i>Zara</i>. The burnt orange flatforms are from <i>Urban Outfitters</i> and I believe burnt orange is a color I can wear year round. I kept the accessories simple, as usual. </div>

Journaling has been the best therapy lately and I always have a lot to talk about. The big elephant in the room this week has been the outcome of the past presidential election. To say I am disappointed in my country is an understatement. I have processed all feelings and if anything, I can now look at this election as a huge wake up call. I am currently a student at a liberal arts college in metropolitan Los Angeles, in California nonetheless. My home of Orange County always shows me the conservative side of America but I have now realized just how much progress this country still needs. To me, this election was not the loss of my political party. It was more a loss of my morals and values being accepted in my country. However, I will remain hopeful and I feel even more encouragement to educate myself further and work toward my passions and goals. Progress will come, we just have to give it time. </div>

I have some random recommendations for you. I have always loved Chelsea Handler and I especially enjoyed her "Chelsea Does" documentary series on Netflix, specifically "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWOLvq1xENI" target="_blank">Chelsea Does Racism</a>". My current favorite quick eat is <a href="https://www.yallamedi.com/" target="_blank">Yalla</a> - it's like a Mediterranean Chipotle. I also cannot stop drinking <a href="http://www.lacroixwater.com/" target="_blank">La Croix</a>. </div>

There is no denying that off the shoulder tops are trending this summer. If there ever were a time to show off your shoulders, it would be now when you actually have a tan, right? The shape of this one is particularly overwhelming, but I think it's balanced with the baring shoulders. Anyway, I will definitely be sporting this trend for the remainder of summer. I'll be sure to keep up my faux tan to compliment the look, thanks to St. Tropez. Hope you all have been enjoying the summer. I have been spending mine in Los Angeles, working a lot and catching up on shows I don't have time to watch during the school year. I'm always trying to share more of myself in these posts, so I'll do that today by sharing some goals I've made recently. Sharing them on here will be my way of holding myself accountable!

Good stuff: Girls on HBO is my favorite series right now and the show always features the best music. Lena Dunham's book <i>Not That Kind of Girl</i> is pretty good, too. </div>

I spent Memorial Day weekend in the desert with some friends. School is out and I have been enjoying my summer thus far. Since we were already in Palm Springs, my friends and I wanted to head out to the infamous Salvation Mountain. I wasn't expecting it to be that much further of a drive, but we found ourselves driving an extra 2 hours inland to see this work of art. Thinking about how much time went into it and the message behind it, I was really happy to actually see it in person. Will I make the trip out there to see it again? Probably not. Nonetheless, it was an adventure and I got some cool pics out of it. Hope you enjoy. </div>

Well, this post is long overdue. I shot this look when I was back home for a little. Old Town Orange is one of my favorite places to visit in Orange County. There are a lot of cute boutiques and restaurants to stop at and they finally opened up a permanent shop of the <a href="http://www.theaussiebean.com/" target="_blank">Aussie Bean</a>. For a coffee enthusiast, this is very exciting news. For this look, I started with the basic mom jeans. These <i><a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/category/clothing-427/jeans-446/mom-jeans-1758788/N-87lZdgl?No=0&Nrpp=20&siteId=%2F12556&geoip=noredirect" target="_blank">bad boys</a></i> are so comfortable - they are easy to wear with a sweater for class or dressed up a bit like I did here. If you couldn't tell, I am loving anything with laces right now. Always paired with my black crossbody bag because I am too lazy to switch my bags out all the time. Talk to you soon. </div>

<i><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bioderma-Sensibio-H2O-Micelle-Solution/dp/B00D47VIHA" target="_blank">Bioderma micellar water</a></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Micellar water is sort of new to the beauty scene. Different then an oil based makeup remover, micellar water cleanses the skin without leaving any sort of residue. I picked up the twin pack of Bioderma when I visited France and it has become my go-to makeup remover just because it is so gentle on the skin. A lot of other brands are catching onto the micellar water trend so thankfully, it is becoming more accessible in the states (<a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/47176167?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227035538726&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=77638447472&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=150952955792&veh=sem" target="_blank">Garnier</a> and <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod12041647" target="_blank">Simple</a>). </div>

<i><b><a href="http://www.international.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Healthy-Mix-foundation_1313681/" target="_blank">Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation</a></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am a huge fan of Chanel foundations but am not willing to drop the money on them right now. Bourjois is apparently owned by Chanel, which is why some say there foundations are a bit similar. The healthy mix foundation is the only Bourjois one I picked up at Superdrug and I am very impressed with it. The texture is nice and smooth - not too thick! I would say it's a medium coverage and it lasts really well on the skin throughout the day.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod6480993" target="_blank">Redken Wax Blast 10</a></b></i><br />
As I am a girl with very thin and straight hair, I am always frustrated with its inability to have any sort of texture. I was complaining about this to my stylist and she recommended this product to me. The Redken wax blast is exactly as it sounds. It's a nice smelling spray wax that just kind of roughs up my hair a bit. I am a huge fan of it at the moment and I feel like it's a better alternative to the sea salt sprays that can sometimes dry out your hair and leave it feeling a bit crunchy.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><a href="https://www.limecrime.com/velvetines/" target="_blank">Lime Crime Velvetine "Cashmere"</a> </b></i><br />
Liquid lipsticks are the new <i>thing</i> right now. I am not a fan of them for everyday wear but the shade of this one is definitely noteworthy. Cashmere is a very cool-toned, almost lavender-grey shade. Definitely not for everyone but I am a big fan when worn with the right look.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><a href="http://www.sephora.com/hypnose-drama-instant-full-body-volume-mascara-P244006" target="_blank">Lancôme Hypnôse Drama mascara</a></i></b><br />
Nothing much to say about this other than the fact that it has been my go-to mascara for the past couple months. It holds curl really well and gives my short lashes lots of volume, which I think has something to do with the oddly curved wand that just works <i>so well</i>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bourjois-Bronzing-Powder-Matte-Halee/dp/B000HKZQFM" target="_blank">Bourjois bronzing powder</a></i></b><br />
Another bronzer that smells like chocolate! I also picked this up at Superdrug when I was in London and I think it's a great alternative to the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/chocolate-soleil-medium-deep-matte-bronzer-P229406?skuId=1511831&om_mmc=ppc-GG&mkwid=sy5RhLmst&pcrid=49113164199&pdv=c&site=_search&lang=en&gclid=CjwKEAiA8qG1BRDz0tmK0pufw3QSJACfn6olYTglQYfErOtlZCSPBOFSny2bkD0z40lnRSL7FHXGVRoC9MLw_wcB" target="_blank">Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer</a>. It blends well and is a nice matte shade that isn't too orange. </div>

I hope your new year is off to a lovely start. I'm home from my semester abroad and will be talking more about it in some future posts. Sometimes the most important realizations you make about an experience are made after it's over. My first post of 2016 is featuring the look I wore for Christmas Eve. A midi skirt has been on my list for a while now and this one is actually a deep green color that is not showing up too well in the photos. To avoid looking like Betty Crocker at twenty years old I paired the skirt with a rather low cut crop top, leaving just a bit of skin showing at the midriff. This definitely keeps the look classy but still young and playful. To top it off, I wore my lace-up shoes that have a short stacked heel. Even with the knee-length skirt, I still felt a bit sexy in this look. Some may think otherwise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This look was shot in the dry hills of Southern California. Remember to conserve water, my friends. </div>

I am not a model. On a rare occasion I can strike a pose but this shoot definitely lacked that moment. Anyway, I wanted to do a quick post on what I would label my "<i>tourist</i>" look. I did a lot of sightseeing over my semester in Europe, and this is typically what I would wear. There's not much to it - a nice coat, my favorite denim, and black booties. A good pair of black booties just does it for me and I can justify buying any pair that has a great shape and fit. It was a bit cold on this particular day because Florence has seasons. I added this beautiful red scarf to throw some color onto my monochromatic ensemble. Scarves are great, especially when they actually serve the purpose they are meant to. I am back home in the states now and I hope to get some more outfit posts up soon. Ciao for now.</div>

As my semester in Italy is coming to a close, I have accumulated quite a few photos from my weekends away. Instead of keeping them in my personal archives, over the next couple of weeks I am planning on featuring photos from some of my favorite travels around Europe. I spent a weekend in Amsterdam in mid-October. The leaves were changing colors and the weather was a bit chilly, making it a perfect Autumn weekend. Amsterdam was such a unique city full of canals, unique architecture, and some really cool people. I'll <i>briefly</i> go over what I got up to.<br />
To save on costs, my friends and I stayed outside of the city. Public transportation is my mode of choice for getting around all European cities, but I found Amsterdam's system to be quite confusing and pretty pricey. I would recommend splurging a bit more on accommodation when visiting Amsterdam because we found it to be more difficult than usual to get in and out of the city everyday. As far as food goes, I ate very well in Amsterdam! There was a lot of variety and little cafes on every corner. It was a great place for breakfast which is always nice to find as an American traveling around Europe. Do yourself a favor and try a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroopwafel" target="_blank">stroopwafel</a>, as well.<br />
As far as activities, we did a bike tour through <a href="http://www.mikesbiketoursamsterdam.com/" target="_blank">Mike's Bikes</a> which I highly recommend! Biking is definitely the way to see the city and I learned a lot about the city history and culture. We went all around the city, my favorite stops being <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g188590-d190575-Reviews-The_Jordaan-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html" target="_blank">Jordaan</a> and <a href="http://www.brouwerijhetij.nl/partnership-brouwerij-t-ij-duvel-moortgat/?lang=en" target="_blank">Brouwerij 't Ij</a> brewery, which is in a windmill. If a tour sounds a bit much for you I would recommend just renting bikes on your own as it's fairly inexpensive and such a fun way to get around. You definitely have to be an attentive biker though as the locals get pretty irritated with tourists getting in their way.<br />
Other than the bike tour, we visited the <a href="http://www.annefrank.org/en/Museum/" target="_blank">Anne Frank House</a> and the <a href="http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en" target="_blank">Van Gough Museum</a>. If the Anne Frank House is a must see for you, I would skip the line and come back later at night as it stays open pretty late. The Van Gough Museum was incredibleone of my favorite museums I've visited in Europe. Again, we skipped the line and went pretty late in the evening. If you go for the late route like we did, just make sure you give yourself enough time to see everything before it closes.<br />
Overall, I absolutely adored Amsterdam. I found the city to be incredibly picturesque, the people were lovely, and there was so much to see and do. The dutch seem to be doing a lot of things right and I would love to spend more time in Amsterdam in the future.<br />
Hope you enjoy these travel posts. Talk to you soon.<br />

I always find maxi skirts a bit tricky to style, especially for my body type. With so much fabric it's easy for the outfit to just overwhelm your body and eat you up. For this simple look I paired the maxi with a crop top, which I think really helps balance all of that going on at the bottom. Living in Florence, I walk everywhere. It is so important for me to wear comfortable shoes and white sneakers are comfortable, yet very on trend at the moment. These sneakers are from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/shoes-430/flats-459/city-slim-lizard-effect-trainers-4871709?bi=20&ps=20" target="_blank">Topshop</a> and if you are going to be walking as much as I do everyday, I would suggest investing in a nicer quality pair of sneaks. These ones look great, but definitely hurt my feet after a couple of hours. Hope you enjoy this simple look!</div>

Cool stuff: I can't live and travel Europe without the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/city-maps-2go-travel-guide/id408866084?mt=8" target="_blank">City Maps 2Go</a> app. You pre-download the city map when you have wifi and then you can always access it through the app. The best part is it uses GPS and shows you where you are on the map without having to use data. </div>

The life I live abroad is definitely a unique one. Class takes up my time at the beginning of the week but come Thursday and it's time to take
off to a new location I’ve never visited before. I love studying in Italy
because there are so many things to see just alone in the country I'm living in. As everything is just a short train ride away, my friend and I decided
to spend a weekend in Venice. We spent two full days there which I think was
the perfect amount of time. We had so much time to get lost in Venice and we were able to visit the neighboring islands of Burano and Murano. You
truly get to know a city by getting lost in it and it is extremely easy to do so in Venice. The city is an organic one, meaning there are no main streets
or direct roads to take somewhere. We ended up getting lost pretty frequently
throughout the weekend, ending up at endless dead ends that hit a canal with no
bridge to pass. Needless to say, Venice is a beautiful place and I had an
amazing time wandering my way through it. <o:p></o:p></div>

We started off the weekend checking into our hostel,
<a href="http://generatorhostels.com/en/destinations/venice/" target="_blank">Generator Venice</a>. I couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay there. It is a
lovely <i>“boutique hostel”</i> with trendy interior that is perfectly situated one
bus stop from <i>San Marco Square</i>. The public transportation in Venice was fun to
navigate because their system is entirely by water bus. Our first day was spent
wandering through the touristy area around San Marco Square. The city is full
of canals weaving through compact buildings that are all uniquely worn down in
their own way. The city
is definitely a quirky one, which is one of the reasons that makes it so great. We had our best meal of the trip our first night at <i><a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187870-d1034681-Reviews-La_Zucca-Venice_Veneto.html" target="_blank">La Zucca</a></i>. The restaurant is a bit hard to find as it’s
about a 20 minute walk into the island through alleys and over bridges. It’s a beautiful
walk though and the restaurant is definitely worth it. <i><a href="http://www.lazucca.it/en" target="_blank">La Zucca</a></i> translates to “pumpkin”
in Italian so most of the dishes had pumpkin incorporated into them. I would
recommend the white lasagna with zucchini and pumpkin, the tagliatelle, and the
panna cotta. They don’t offer an English menu but our waiter was very friendly
and gladly helped us with the translations. <o:p></o:p></div>

We ventured to Murano and Burano on our second day.
Both are beautiful, but I highly recommend going the full way to Burano - it's a small island of colorful buildings along canals. It was one of my favorite parts of the weekend and well worth the long boat ride over there. Despite the high price, we did a gondola ride when we were back in Venice. The more people you have the less expensive it is, so that would be a tip on how to make that experience a little more budget-friendly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Venice has been one of my favorite places in Europe so far. Hope you like hearing about my abroad travels, I'll have a lot more to post throughout the rest of my time here. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I have been so fortunate to have the opportunity to spend a
semester in Florence, Italy. Having been here for only a little over a month, I have
seen and learned so much. Traveling around Europe is fairly easy to do and I
have already been able to visit several different destinations. Just in the
first ten days I was here, I attempted to speak three different languages. Emphasis on <i>attempted</i>! It’s
important for me to realize what an opportunity it is for me to travel around
Europe at my age, especially knowing that right now there are so many refugees
being forced to come here out of need for survival. I’ve run into small
challenges while being here but all of them have been learning experiences either big or small. Travel has always been something I value and prioritize and living
abroad allows me to notice all the subtle cultural differences. For me, that’s
walking by the café on my street and seeing the crowd of people around the bar
sipping their espresso before they go to work. At home in the US, that experience
would be me driving past a Starbucks and seeing everyone waiting to grab their
venti latte to-go. <i>(It is very rare to be able to get coffee to-go in Italy – I have
only found one café that does it.)</i> Even the sound of sirens here is different enough
to remind me that I am not at home. I have cherished these differences and look
forward to noticing more of these throughout my time here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The above photos very briefly capture the places I have
visited so far. I fell in love with Paris, drank beer with new friends
at Oktoberfest, and ate fresh fish next to the sea in Cinque Terre. I will
remember these moments forever and I look forward to making more of these
memories. Talk to you soon.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ciao! The past few weeks have been a bit crazy for me, in a good way. I shot this look back home in California before I left to study abroad. My trip started out in Paris and I am now all settled in Florence, Italy for the semester. Travel posts from all of my upcoming destinations are coming soon! Florence is already inspiring me in so many ways and I cannot wait for the content to come. Be sure to follow my <a href="https://instagram.com/lifeonlotus/" target="_blank">instagram account</a> as I have been updating there more frequently.</div>

There is an endless summer in Southern California, hence I am featuring another dress and sandal combination. Smock dresses are my favorite because of that perfectly <i>unflattering</i> fit. I've been packing to spend fall semester in Europe and I am so looking forward to some colder weather. Oh, I also switched up my hair a bit. </div>

As the savvy woman I am, I wanted to write a post on how to stretch your dollar when purchasing high-end beauty products. I definitely have my drugstore favorites, but there are just certain products I prefer to buy high-end. Being conscious of my student budget, I have to make smart purchases. Therefore, I am sharing some tips on how to be a smart shopper when filling up your make-up bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Invest in the larger size</span></u><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stores like Costco are based on this concept. When you buy the bigger size, you are getting more for your money. I typically go high-end for my simple, everyday products. For something that I am going to be using often, it pays more to buy the bigger size. My favorite example of this is with my favorite self tanner, the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/self-tan-bronzing-mousse-P261322?skuId=1256890" target="_blank">St. Tropez bronzing mousse</a>. The 4 oz. bottle is priced at $32 while the 8 oz. bottle costs $42. So for $10 more, you can double the amount of product you will get. Therefore, you get more product up front and save more in the long run. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Switch to an eyeshadow palette system</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The best way to purchase high-end shadows is to go with a palette system. Pre-made palettes are great for beginners because the shades are already put together in one place. The only thing is, there are always one or two shades in a palette that you just don't really use or you run out of your favorite shade that can't be refilled without purchasing an entirely new palette. One you have an idea of what shades you like, it is best to stick with a palette system because you can customize the shades you want and you can always replace single colors in the palette. <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13840/907/Products/Makeup/Eyes/Shadow/Eye-Shadow-Pro-Palette-Refill-Pan" target="_blank">MAC</a> is the system I stick with and individual eyeshadow pans cost around $10. That seems expensive but for high end quality it really is an inexpensive option. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Buy translucent loose powder</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only do I love the finish of loose powder, but buying translucent powder makes it versatile as you can use it on any skin tone. I have the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/translucent-loose-setting-powder-P109908?skuId=870618" target="_blank">Laura Mercier loose translucent powder</a> which comes with 1 oz of product. As most powders come with around .35 oz of product, you can imagine how long this powder has lasted me. I am nearing the end of mine after two years and I just removed the sifter to make sure I get all the product out of the container. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Try rollerball perfumes</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Perfumes are pretty pricey. I love testing different ones out and the pretty bottles are always so appealing. However, I have just recently started to utilize rollerball perfumes. If you are one to always try out different scents, rollerball perfumes are a great way to do so. Costing significantly less than the full bottles, you don't have to feel bad about having different ones to choose from. Especially because I don't end up wearing too much perfume at a time, they can really go a long way. However, if you have that signature scent that you wear every single day, it is definitely better to invest in the full size bottle to really get your moneys worth of product. </div>

<u><span style="font-size: large;">Pay attention to the product amount</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like to look at buying high-end makeup as more of an investment. I am investing in better quality products that I think perform better. As with any investment, you need to do your research, keeping what you want the product to do in mind. For the longest time, I was buying the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/triple-performing-facial-emulsion-spf-15-pa-P283507?skuId=1318328" target="_blank">Benefit Triple Performing Facial Emulsion</a> as my everyday moisturizer. It really is a lovely product, but I felt like I was buying it pretty frequently and I wasn't even using it at night because of the SPF. After perusing around Sephora, I found the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/ultra-repair-lotion-P386611?skuId=1600154&icid2=brand:first%20aid%20beauty__p386611_image" target="_blank">First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lotion</a> which comes with 8 oz of product opposed to 1.7 oz of the Benefit one. Yes the product is different, but it is the versatile, simple moisturizer I was looking for that will last me a lot longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, I sometimes splurge on a product without keeping all of these things in mind. But for products I re-purchase and use consistently, I like to shop according to these tips! Hopefully this helps you out a bit. Thanks for reading.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm back with another lifestyle post for you. There is so much exploring to do and especially in a city like Los Angeles, there is always something new to see. My friend is a huge Kanye West fan and his <a href="http://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/mcqueen-west" target="_blank">exhibit</a> with Steve McQueen at <a href="http://www.lacma.org/" target="_blank">LACMA</a> gave us an excuse to head to LA again. Our first stop was the exhibit, which was basically just an extended music video playing on repeat in the center of the room. You get access to the exhibit just with a general admission ticket, so we enjoyed walking around the rest of the museum because I shamefully have never been inside. There are always food trucks across the street from LACMA so we also grabbed something to eat while we were there. My favorite food truck <i>(which unfortunately was missing in action) </i>is the <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/arroy-food-truck-los-angeles" target="_blank">Arroy Food Truck</a>. If you ever see this truck around, I definitely recommend grabbing something. Next on the agenda was the <a href="http://www.scpr.org/programs/the-frame/2015/04/27/42504/projection-paints-sunset-pacific-motel-and-the-sur/?slide=9" target="_blank">Bates Motel</a> on Sunset. There isn't really much I have to say about this one. It was an old abandoned motel on Sunset that they painted completely white, even including the Palm Trees. It was cool to see but I guess I don't know enough of the backstory to fully take interest. We finished our day with one of my favorite things to do - grabbing a coffee from one of LA's best, this time being<a href="http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/" target="_blank"> Intelligentsia</a>. We went to the Intelligentsia in <a href="http://www.laweekly.com/news/silver-lake-yet-again-deemed-best-neighborhood-in-united-states-4177305" target="_blank">Silver Lake</a> which is such a cool part of LA. There are so many little shops and restaurants to check out and it just had a pretty good vibe. That's all there is to cover for this one. Hope you enjoyed reading about what I was up to! Don't forget to check out my Instagram account to see more photos like these. </div>

TANK: Free People <i>LA Nite</i> in <i><a href="http://www.freepeople.com/shop/la-nite-tank/?c=camis" target="_blank">Birch</a></i> // SKORT: Free People // DENIM: Zara // BRALETTE: <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/shop/galloon-lace-halter-bra-21349618/?PRODUCTOPTIONIDS=FD9A9FD8-7E91-4AF6-BB95-8C5373596147&c=bras" target="_blank">Free People</a> // SUNNIES: Urban Outfitters</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here to talk to you about my favorite tank tops from <i>Free People</i>. There are two styles I switch between: the <i><a href="http://www.freepeople.com/shop/la-nite-tank/?c=camis" target="_blank">LA Nite</a></i> and the <i><a href="http://www.freepeople.com/shop/mock-me-tank/?c=camis" target="_blank">Mock Me</a></i> style. Pictured above is the <i>LA Nite</i> tank, dressed up and dressed down. I think it's important for your wardrobe to be build up with wearable basics. These tank tops are the perfect fit plus they have plenty of colors and are very inexpensive. Currently, I own three different colors and I wear them regularly. The perfect tank top is necessary for warmer weather, but these tanks are also great to layer with in colder weather. I love wearing these ones under sweaters because the high neckline peaks out perfectly. There are endless ways you can style the perfect tank and I just thought I would share my favorites. Hope you enjoy.</div>

In my opinion, it is so important to get out and explore the area you live in. Wherever you're from, there must be something you haven't yet seen or someplace you haven't yet been to. I am a regular shopper at flea markets. My usual go-to is the <a href="http://melrosetradingpost.org/" target="_blank">Melrose Trading Post</a>, but this past Sunday my friend Mackenzie and I ventured into downtown for the <a href="http://www.artistsandfleas.com/losangeles/" target="_blank">Artists & Flea</a>. Flea markets always have so many unique treasures and they are my go-to destination when looking to buy jewelry. You can always find trendy yet inexpensive costume jewelry or you can find local artists that design more higher end stuff. I like the idea of supporting local vendors and paying less for what you get. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After shopping around for a bit in the heat, we got really hungry and went on a search for some food. We first stepped into <a href="http://www.dailydosela.com/" target="_blank">Daily Dose cafe</a>, which was situated in an alleyway with a menu that featured good coffee and vegan options for Mac. After finding out the restaurant had closed just as we walked in, we headed West to check out <a href="http://graciasmadreweho.com/" target="_blank">Gracias Madre</a>. I've seen this restaurant on social media way too much and so has everyone else I guess because they couldn't seat anyone else for the night due to too many reservations! Since we were starving at this point and already in WeHo, we found a parking spot at <a href="http://lezinque.com/" target="_blank">Zinque</a> and ordered immediately. We ended our little excursion at <a href="http://www.kippysicecream.com/" target="_blank">Kippy's</a> in Venice for some dairy free ice cream, which was super yummy. </div>

Next time, I will try and document the whole day for you. More photos from this day can be found on my Instagram account <a href="https://instagram.com/lifeonlotus/" target="_blank">here</a>. I like posting more lifestyle posts, so expect more soon!</div>

This blog of mine is very enabling. I often use blogging as an excuse to shop and buy more items to wear and then feature on here. Well, as someone who is trying to build <i>up</i> her savings account this summer, I have been doing my best to utilize the wardrobe I already have. It's easy to constantly buy new items to feature in looks, but it is more realistic to see how I consistently wear and style pieces over and over. Rompers are such a summer staple for me because depending on the style, they are versatile and <i>so easy</i> to wear. This romper <i>(previously <a href="http://lifeonlotus.blogspot.com/2015/03/just-some-favorites.html" target="_blank">featured here</a>)</i> has a small polkadot print pattern that is neutral in color. I can definitely dress this one up or down, depending on where I am wearing it. For a non-fuss summer look, I paired it will some cute gladiator sandals <i>(<a href="http://lifeonlotus.blogspot.com/2014/07/cutouts-tan-lines.html" target="_blank">previously featured here</a>)</i>. Accessories were kept minimal, as usual. </div>

Just like the little black dress, the little black romper is just as much of a closet staple for me. I actually featured this romper last summer styled a bit differently <a href="http://lifeonlotus.blogspot.com/2014/06/simple-as-this.html" target="_blank">here</a>. This time around, I paired the romper with a boyfriend blazer and my favorite black booties. I think the <i>deep v cut</i> on the romper contrasts the blazer and makes it a <i>not-so-business casual</i> look. For further contrast, I wore these statement sunnies by <i>Quay</i>. To accessorize, I wore my typical jewels + watch combo while carrying my vanilla latte. If you follow my <a href="https://instagram.com/lifeonlotus/" target="_blank">instagram</a> account, you would know that I have a love affair with really good coffee. Living in Los Angeles, I truly have become a coffee snob and it makes my day to find a good coffee shop in Orange County with quality espresso. So long to the days of sitting at Starbucks, it just doesn't do it for me anymore. </div>

I hope you are having a fun and <b>adventurous </b>summer - I'm currently working on adding a bit more adventure to mine. Maybe I will share some soon? </div>

Red orange is quickly becoming a favorite color of mine. Essie <i><a href="http://www.beauty.com/products/prod.asp?pid=151847&catid=298359&cmbProdBrandFilter=126094&mp=True&aid=338669&aparam=151847&kpid=151847&CAWELAID=120142990000083411&CAGPSPN=pla&kpid=151847" target="_blank">Clam Bake</a></i> and MAC <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13854/310/Products/Makeup/Lips/Lipstick/Lipstick#/shade/Lady_Danger" target="_blank"><i>Lady Danger</i></a> had already done it for me, but then I found a Zara favorite on sale in a similar hue. I have already featured the white version of this top <a href="http://lifeonlotus.blogspot.com/2015/05/in-between.html" target="_blank">here</a> and I just love the simple and easy feel of it. Paired with denim shorts and my espadrilles <i>(Chanel vibes via Target)</i> I had an easy look that is perfect for summer resort life, sans the resort. I always love a structured bag and the small size of this one is perfect for street roaming in Europe this coming fall. Have I mentioned that I will be studying abroad in Florence, Italy for fall 2015? I cannot wait to experience something so entirely different and I am excited to see the content I will put out while I am oversees. That is all I have to say for now! Hope you enjoy.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Even in the summer heat I have still managed to wear booties. This Southern California native is heading to Europe in the fall for school and I've been keeping that in mind while shopping lately. I found these <i>almost</i> perfect booties from <b>Forever 21</b> recently. They are a Chelsea boot style with a pointed toe and a little bit of a heel. The only reason why they are almost perfect is the fact that they aren't quite worn in yet and are a bit painful. But sometimes we have to sacrifice comfort to look good, right? I paired the booties with other versatile pieces that were more summer-friendly. The dress reminds me of a baseball jersey with the buttons all the way up the front center. It's versatile because it can be unbuttoned and thrown over another outfit for a different style. The lace halter bra peeking out at the top adds a little something extra. As per usual, I accessorized with the basics. Hope you enjoy this one and are enjoying your summer! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's summer! Well, I have been on summer break for a little while but the weather is starting to warm up and I've already failed at attempting a tan. We all know it's not summer in Southern California until we turn the air conditioner on and I've accidentally sunburned myself attempting said "tan". I think this outfit combo will be a closet hit for me this summer. Often, I find it hard to style looks in the summer just because it is <i>so</i> hot. These are all pieces I think work well for the heat but can also make a statement. For example, bell sleeves on a top add a lot to a look entirely but the loose sleeves shouldn't be too uncomfortable on a hot day, especially when worn with shorts. Gladiator sandals seem to be back for summer 2015. Similar to statement tops, gladiator sandals are a heat friendly piece in your closet that again adds a lot of style to a look. I accessorized with the basics: sunnies, flea market jewels, and the Rebecca Minkoff worn cross-body this time. Hope you enjoy and I will talk to you soon!

This look incorporates a lot of my favorite, go-to pieces. Though it may be casual, this is something I would wear as just an "everyday" look for running errands and what not. In fact, that is precisely what I wore this look for. I tell you, I live a glamorous life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The skinny jeans are a dark wash pair from <i>Zara </i>and I paired them with my trusty <i>Jeffrey Campbell </i>booties. If you are going to wear booties with skinny jeans, you cannot forget to cuff them! You will not believe what a difference cuffing your jeans makes for an outfit. <i>Free People</i> has a really great line of tank tops recently and this black one goes with basically everything. They offer different styles that all just seem to be the perfect cut and I'm tempted to fill my closet with a couple more. When the weather is appropriate, I love topping off any look with a cardigan. This warm-toned cardigan is from <i>Urban Outfitters</i> and it fit my warm and cozy qualifications for a cardigan well. The accessories are nothing new - just my standard <i>Daniel Wellington</i> watch, <i>Alex & Ani</i> bracelets, and the <i>TOMS Yvette </i>tortoise shell frames. The bag is an old <i>Rebecca Minkoff </i>5-zip but I have recently revisited it after doubling up the chain. I've been enjoying wearing it this way opposed to wearing it crossbody just because I think it's something different. If you are getting bored of an item, there is always a way to update it slightly and make it new again. Hope you enjoy.</div>

Disposable cameras are so fun to me because they are easy and you just never know what kind of photo you are going to get. My friends and I love bringing disposable cameras along whatever we do so I thought I would share some of them with you. These photos were all taken at Weekend 1 of Coachella, in Joshua Tree National Park, and on a road trip I took with friends up the California coast. The road trip was definitively a highlight of Spring 2015 for me. We started in Los Angeles and went up the coast making stops in Santa Barbara, Solvang, San Luis Obispo, Cambria, Hearst Castle, Big Sur, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and Berkeley. It was a long trip of cheap motels and lots of driving but doing it with friends was so much fun and I am always impressed with the beauty of California. Hope you enjoy looking at all these photos as I know they will bring up a lot of fun memories for me when I revisit them in the future. </div>
