HBD 2 ME

As some of you may or may not know, my birthday was a few weeks ago. So I thought I'd share with y'all what I did/got. 

For brunch we (being my mom, dad, sister, her friend Kiki and my best friend Jordan) went to a lovely hotel restaurant on the beach in Santa Monica, where I ordered the best lemon ricotta pancakes ever.

After brunch we walked around Santa Monica and along the pier for the rest of the morning.

After Santa Monica we went back home to rest because we had a big night ahead of us. Then my other best friend Victoria and her mom came to my house and picked up me and my mom do go to dinner at a delicious restaurant called Lemonade. 

After dinner came the best past of all. We drove to the El Rey theater to go see my favorite band BEST COAST!

The first opening band was The Lovely Bad things, who I was very excited to see. They played a very loud and amazing set.

During one of their last songs their guitarist jumped into the pit next to me!

The next band on was Bleached who I was almost as equally excited for as Best Coast. Bleached rocked so hard, also their lead singer had the cutes outfit and all of them had the best shoes ever. 
Bleached rocking out really hard

After Bleached came the band we have all been waiting for... BEST COAST!
Best Coast was absolutely amazing. I had seen them only one time before, at the Santa Monica pier, which is basically their natural habitat cuz all their songs are about the beach and babes. That was easily the best concert experience of my life, so  I was ready to see how this compared. 
Bethany Cosentino was wearing THE BEST OUTFIT EVER and so I took it upon myself to scout out the pieces she was wearing which you can purchase here and here

After a few songs of Best Coast being in the very front, we decided to go to the back for a little bit. And thank god we did because if we didn't we wouldn't have MET BLEACHED!!!
Not the greatest quality picture in the world, but at least you can see Jennifer Calvin, the lead singer's super cute outfit!

Overall, the concert and the whole day was a blast! Best birthday ever!

ROOKIE FEST UPDATE

wow. Its been a while since I updated on here but I think this update is gonna be worth it. Last week in LA Rookie mag hosted a wonderful event with special guests, dancing, DIYs and a live musical performance! It was easily one of the best nights of my life. I got a chance to meet so many cool new people and had so much fun dancing and DIYing with everyone! Rookie fest was a 
blast!
The outfit that I wore to Rookie Fest (FlowerCrown: Homemade, Gril/Boy scout sash: Antique store in South Park, Colorado, Backpack: Urban Outfitters, Top and Shorts Set: American Vintage Shoes: (even though you can't see them) JuJu Jelly/American Apparel.

Most importantly I MET TAVI GEVINSON MY BIGGEST IDOL EVER!!! She was so sweet and nice and NORMAL I swear the whole time I was talking to her I kept checking for her hidden fairy wings or mermaid tail.
