Celia's Birthday was yesterday (Aug 30th) and we had a little birthday fun with our photo shoot! I LOVE birthdays, it's one of my favorite "holidays" and Celia's birthday is included into one of MY favorite days because I get to be included in her bday fun too- totally reaping the best friend benefits ;)

Since her birthday fell on a weekday we weren't able to get too crazy- we did a bit of shoe shopping at our good friends place (everyone, check out ZooShoo- they have the BEST selection of shoes at the BEST prices) a simple dinner at our favorite restaurant and some cake cutting afterwards with her family. As were getting older, birthday celebrations have become more tame...what's there to celebrate when your'e getting OLD, right? I kinda like it though and sadly that's another sign I'm getting old-errr.

Birthday celebrations usually last more than 1 day with us- C has a full weekend of surprises waiting for her, make sure your'e following us on Instagram (@buylovegivelove) to get the quickest updates! C's birthday continuesssss....have a great weekend everyone and again..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY C, you're MY worlds greatest <3

Buylove Inspired, Peplum style!

When I first started seeing this trend, I wasn't sure if I really liked it. As I started seeing it more on tumblr and different blogs though, it started really growing on me. I've been on the search for a peplum style top ever since! It think it's the perfect transition from summer to fall and it can dress up any outfit in a second. The only thing is, I'm realizing that it's actually really hard to find a peplum top that fits me well, im still searching!! Loving this look though, especially the one styled with mint jeans- super cute!

Champagne Brunch!

Sunday's are the best days for Brunch- Celia and I had Sunday Champagne Brunch with our good friends this past weekend and we haven't seen them in a while so it was great catching up!

Pastel, blue/green hued colors were our choices of color and it worked out because the weather has been cooling down too- perfect weather, perfect color combos!

We can't believe September is right around the corner but August will end with a huge bang this week because it's C's BIRTHDAY this Thursday! I can't wait for it and it's not even MY birthday...stay tuned, birthdays are my favorite and when I get involved they're full of surprises...

C, I hope you're as excited as I am <3

Have a great week everyone! ;)

For those who know me, I have this crazy obsession over shoes. Yes, I'm obsessed over quite a few things but they come and go...SHOES have been my forever obsession. It's already August which means those who are in school have started and once school starts...FALL and WINTER is right around the corner (scary yes but I CAN'T WAIT). We've been going through a major heat wave here in CA and I'm kinda over it- cooler weather means BOOTS, jackets, and scarves! I've been obsessing over boots lately and even though it's been hot here I've been wearing boots as much as I can- they go with everything..even summer gear like shorts/tanks- they can be worn year round!

Also, it doesn't help that all stores are now transitioning into fall too. I'm seeing coats, sweaters and scarves in stores already!

I'm SO ready for you ;)

As most of you know, I just came back from Cabo! Although it's great to be home, it was definitely amazing to really relax and get away for a couple days. I hate packing and tend to always over pack- Cabo was no different. I was texting Jamie while packing and her advice was to not overpack because I will probably be living in my bathing suit and ofcourse, SHE WAS RIGHT! ;D It was so hot/humid and I was constantly around water so my bathing suits were my go-to. Being at the resort for a couple days, I saw so many girls with such cute bathing suits that right when I came home I started looking online... totally obsessed right now!!
