Hello!
My brother is home for the weekend from college so we hung out yesterday at Fashion Island. He agreed to taking photos for me. It was really fun having him behind the camera because he was telling me to "work the camera." He did a pretty good job for his first time with a DSLR. He later told me it was pretty easy--all you really need to do is stand there and "press the button like rapid-fire." Well whatever that means--I guess he's taking my photos more often then! I wish he was as helpful while I was trying to get my giveaway together though. I was having one of those closet-full-of-nothing mornings (and suffering from weekend-syndrome) so I went with my go-to outfit: striped top + skirt. I'm trying to upkeep my style resolutions and trying to use the necklaces that hang on my wall more. I placed them near my bedroom door so I could grab them on my way out, but unfortunately, I'm usually frantically rushing out the door and accessorizing is the last thing on my mind. Perhaps I should hang them in my car instead so I can pick one out while I'm at a red light?

Today, my brother and I took a long walk in the morning, and then got delicious fruit smoothies. I'm just trying to soak up every bit of sunshine and relaxation as I can before the week resumes tomorrow. I hope everyone is also having a relaxing weekend!

Until next post,
Jasmine

  6. I love all your stripes! Maybe you should keep the neclaces in the bathroom? Or lay them out with your outfit the night before? I know the latter would mean knowing before hand what you were going to wear(A skill I have yet to aquire.....) but hey, we can dream can't we? ;-)

  11. Your weekend sounds nice and relaxing. I think your brother did a great job with your photos, and your outfit is super cute as usual. I really like the necklace you have on and like you I'm really bad at adding accessories to my outfits...

  12. Oh, I wish my sister was that willingly to take my pictures as your brother, it's always a pain to get her to do it. At least I have my boyfriend to do it, or else I wouldn't know what to do.

    You look great, as always, and my go to outfit also involves stripped shirts :) and now that I have a red skirt it may be becoming a lot like yours!

    Hope you have a nice week.

  16. Yay, the blog and you are alive and well! Damn those spam emails, I was like WHAT WHAT WHAT when I got them from you (yes I got two!)

    Anyway, it's so nice to hear that you and your brother have such a close relationship :) I seldom see my brother too (he's living in Europe) and whenever we meet up, it's fun fun fun!(with some quarrels here and there :p)

    And of course, I love this signature look of yours :) Especially with those maryjane flats that you've been wearing a lot lately. And after seeing you sporting that MBMJ bag, I've promised myself to buy one, one of these days. I love Marc Jacobs! :D
