dear fall, i will miss you.

in less than two weeks, i will be living in southern california.

although i am so excited to live just a few miles from the beach where it is sunny and warm year-round, i will miss the changes that come with each season.

especially fall.

in fact, i just found out that i will be spending thanksgiving this year with my california relatives at the beach.

thanksgiving at the beach...?

as wonderful as it sounds, it just doesn't seem right.

and oh man, what am i going to do when christmas time comes around and i can't wake up each morning hoping the streets are covered in snow??

well...

i guess i'll just have to go to the beach and get over it!

i think i will survive :)

come along with me for...

a few weeks ago my mom and i headed to the carnival to take some pictures.

key phrase being "a few weeks ago", when the weather was much cooler, which is why i am in a sweater and long capris.

just had to inform you on that one- i am not crazy.

it's nearly in the 100's this week and just the thought of wearing a sweater and long capris outside makes me feel nauseous.

so.

while in hollywood earlier this summer, i found the cutest boutique called varga.

it's not very often when you find a boutique that sells things that are affordable.

but this one was.

i'm always so excited when i find these places because then i know that i can buy things that not everyone else has.

you know, that awkward moment when you walk into a class, the store, or a get together and you're wearing the same shirt as someone else.

or even worse- while at a pool in st. george a few months ago, i was so excited to wear my new bikini from victoria's secret, until another girl walked in wearing the same one.

and it was even more awkward since there were only about five of us there.

so sometimes it's much better to play it safe by shopping at not-so-popular stores.

so if you find yourself in southern california anytime soon, look up the nearest varga, you won't be sorry!
