C's outfit: Skirt- h&m, Tee- Buylove, headband- forever21, sandals- urban outfitters

oh how i miss my other half, J! Even though we are miles apart, we are still matching which i love love LOVE :) 

It's been heating up in LA, so I'm finding myself grabbing skirts/shorts and sandals lately- as you can tell in this outfit. Although, I did hear on the radio it was going to rain this Sunday, so not sure what's going on! As J mentioned in her entry, this shirt is perfect for this weather... it is lightweight and so easy to match with almost anything. Can't believe it's going to be April soon, where has all the time gone?? Good news is, the faster time goes by, the sooner J is homee- yay!

J's Outfit: Shorts- Zara, Tee- Buylove, Vest- Forever 21, Shoes- Target, Bag- FreePeople

I've mentioned before that it's ridiculously hot here in Vietnam- I step out and I'm drenched with sweat within seconds. Thankfully I packed my Buylove LOVE tee (can be bought here). It's made of a thin material that isn't too heavy or too light and that makes it the perfect tee, especially in this weather!  

And as an added bonus to why I love it, it reminds me of C because we share the shirt set with each other- she has the other half <3. The simple black/white colors make it easy to outfit around too. I paired them with my lace shorts from Zara and threw on a denim vest to add some color.

Even though C and I are miles and miles apart right now, I LOVE that we have these matching tee's because it reminds me of who I'm sharing it with so it never feels like she's too far. Who would you share this LOVE tee set with? 

Love, J

J's birthday this year didn't feel the same as it usually does, girlfriends weren't celebrating with me this year. Birthdays are better when all my best friends are around!

There C goes again, posting photos of food that can't be found here...I miss home food SO much especially breakfast/brunch, my favorite meal ever.

We hate it when we miss deals like these so you don't want to miss out on this one! ;)

Have a great week, everyone!

Happy Birthday, J!!

Dear J:

It’s your birthday today (here in the states) and I feel like something is missing that the day is going by and I’m not picking up cupcakes or doughnuts or spoiling you with presents ;)  It definitely hit me today that you are not with me and although it makes me sad I can’t be there to spend your bday with you, I am so happy for you and everything you are experiencing!

The older we get, the more I realize how truly special our friendship is- we’ve literally been through it ALL and I realize now that friendship isn’t about partying together (although that’s super fun too lol) or spending 24/7 together, true friendship is loving and accepting each other as we are and being their for each every step of the way.

 As we reach our “late 20’s” CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! ….. lol don’t kill me…. We are starting our path of true “adulthood” but just know that I will always be there for you to go on a cupcake run, watch movies in our pjs, or be crazy with because we are each other’s youth #foreveryoung baby!!! :D love you! Better be kicking butt over in asia!

Love, C

ps... i miss you sooo muchesss!

We Love Birthdays!

Bargain Find!

J's Outfit: Top- Bargain Find, Shorts- Forever 21, Boots- Sam Edelman

Sadly I haven't been doing as much shopping as I would like to while traveling but I did get this cute white tank the other day! I knew it would be hot here so I packed a bunch of simple items before coming but I've been getting bored with my basics. This tank is perfect because it's still simple but the floral pattern makes it a little "dressier" and adds a little more to my outfits + it keeps me cool and as an added bonus, I bargained it down to $3! 

For some reason though it has been harder for me to bargain here in Vietnam. They don't give in as easily and they don't budge- maybe thats why I haven't been shopping much because I won't budge my asking price either haha hopefully once I get more comfortable I'll find more items!

I was randomly scrolling through my camera today and started feeling home sick. It's finally hitting me...I miss home. I miss In-N-Out, I miss Chloe, I miss my car, I miss my family and I especially miss my girlfriends...

Love, J

Bff's Bday Month

Sweater: H&M, Jean Vest: Forever21, Pants: BDG

Bow Flats: Forever21, Bag: Buylove

Before J left, she dressed up my buylove bag with some material we had leftover in our office and I absolutely love it!! It's my little memory of her ;) I also love how it happened to match this outfit I wore the other day. Anyways, the weather in LA was amazing this past weekend, but sadly I was sick so majority of my time was spent in bed. Hoping to get better by this weekend though!!

It's officially MARCH-- this month is a BIG month because it's J'S BDAY MONTHHHH!! It feels so strange without her being in the same country but either way, I hope it's a super special month for her because she deserves nothing but the best. 

Love, C
