Taco Truck

Went on a lovely Taco date yesterday, after realizing that our normal spot was closed (wahh!). Luckily, this place was right around the corner from us, hiding in a parking lot behind a nightclub. I know that sounds beyond sketchy, but this place had glowingly high ratings on Google, so we decided to try it. Not only was the food amazing and glorious, but they also had like 6 flavors of agua fresca... which I am obsessed with. I ended up with the pineapple flavor, which was delicious and even had bits of pineapple pulp throughout.

I'm normally a lover of swanky restaurants that have gleaming marble bartops and an extensive wine list, where I can swill white Burgundies and cackle derisively to my heart's content. That said, sometimes you just need a good chow down in a no frills atmosphere.

Boogie Wonderland

The 70s totally got it right when it comes to middle parts, bell bottoms, and disco. I definitely channeled that vibe into this outfit. I love the burnt sienna color and giant bow on this vintage blouse. Paired with this rad denim mini dress, it could only be improved with the addition of my new Derek Lam Astor sunnies. The lavender shades are perfect to break up the monotony of my typically-all-black wardrobe.

I'm one of those people that has a love-hate relationship with the middle part (er, with my hair, in general). I love the way it looks on the off-duty Scandinavian goddesses of the world, but 9/10 times I try to train my hair to part that way, it turns into a sad Cousin Itt situation. Luckily, someone left a bottle of Aveda's Air Control hairspray at my house, and that along with my beloved Agave hair oil, has done wonders to tame my hair.

Wedding Bells

I'm so excited to share these images from my wedding! We just had our one week anniversary (woo!) and it is all still sinking in.

The day flew by in a beautiful, surreal blur. All the clichéd things people tell you about getting married are true, by the way. The best advice I received was 1) Do whatever you want. This day is about celebrating you and your betrothed in whatever way suits you best. Wear a black lace wedding dress (I almost did!), play your favorite weird 90s emo song (my friends had their first dance to a song called "Putting the Dog to Sleep" by The Antlers.. it was sad, quirky, and so romantically perfect for them), and skip any traditions that don't resonate with you. 

For my hair, I wanted a dark, romantic look inspired by Marcel waves. My stylist, Corrine, was a total doll who understood my vision. It's so important to find people that "get" you. Weddings are stressful enough without having to pull up a thousand Pinterest images while vehemently gesticulating to get your point across.
