Two Wheelers Fun

Top- Brandy Melville, Shorts- Levi's, Shoes- Converse, and random DIY bracelets

Yesterday, LA closed ten miles of it's streets to bicyclists, skateboarders, roller bladers, and walkers in an awesome event called CicLAvia.  What is Ciclavia you ask?  It was created to encourage people to go out and enjoy the city.  This event makes the streets safe for people to walk, skate, play and ride a bike; while connecting the communities and giving the public a break from the stress of traffic, not to mention temporarily cutting the pollution and congestion.  With the rise in obesity, I think this is one of the movements worth supporting! If you're in the LA area, check the website for the next event! 

While all of my favorite bloggers and celebrities were rockin' at Coachella I was staying local, enjoying all the fun activities LA has to offer and trying not to think about missing out on the iconic Cali music festival. There's always next year...

P.S. My butt and legs are very sore from cruising LA and that just reminds me I should go back to the gym.  HAHAHA  Wish me luck, I heard the pain in day 2 is the worst :(

Opposite Attracts

Sweater- H&M, Shorts- Thrifted Betsy Johnson, Necklace/Clutch- Forever 21, Flats- Unknown from Santee Alley

This might be just me, but I'm loving the short shorts/sweater combo and I can't be happier that the weather in LA is cooling down.  Now I know the outfit contradicts one another, like why wear a sweater with shorts, aren't your legs cold?  Or if its so hot to wear shorts, why pair it with a sweater, aren't you hot?  Yes, you wouldn't believe how many of those questions/comments I get throughout the day.  But I feel as if the unbalance between the two works.  Just be me.

This is what I've been up to this past week.  Now that I'm back to my regular schedule, I'll have more time to blog.  (I promise!)   If you haven't already, follow me on Instagram (@keepingupwterri) for daily outfit pictures and randomness throughout my day.

I hope everyone had an awesome Easter/Passover/Weekend!

Lusting for Friday

Dress- Brandy Melville, Denim jacket/tights- H&M, Booties/necklace/belt- Forever 21

My weekend just came and went... I apologize for the absence, I spent the last week at jury duty and that messed up with my daily schedule.  My time at the courthouse was surprisingly rewarding and enjoyable.  For those who disregard or ignores those pesky juror notification, please give it a try.  It might shock you.

I adore this floral dress.  The print makes it easy to transition this garb from winter to spring and spring to fall, I love multi-functional pieces!  Once it's warmer, I'm thinking I'll pair this dress with bright flats or a fringe vest or with a boho head wrap... so many possibilities!

How do you transition your closet from winter to spring?

Happy Skirt

Jacket- Urban Outfitters, Sweater/tights- H&M, Skirt- Thrifted, Rainboots- Hunters, Necklace- F21, Watch MbyMJ, and random bracelets

A colorful outfit always cheers me up and brightens my day!

Fun Before The Storm

Denim shirt- H&M, Jeans- BDG, Booties- Forever 21, and random DIY bracelets, Bicycle- Electra

Lover boy and I decided to dusk the bicycles and ride to The Grove for a date night and surprisingly it wasn't that cold.  After a few blocks, I started stripping off my many layers, which I should have taken a picture of because I'm sure I looked ridiculous! 

I love these leopard booties from Forever 21, they really spruce up an ordinary outfit.  And for this playful date, I youtube'd some braids and found this updo one, I thought it added a little 'romanticism' to my look.  What do you ladies do for a date?  A friend suggested red lipstick, but with full lips, I cannot pull off that look.  Any other suggestions?  I would love to hear them!

Everyday Chic

Denim jacket/ Sweater- H&M, Jeans- BDG, Booties- F21, Necklace- House of Harlow, and random DIY bracelets

I promised myself that I would blog more and so far, I've failed. (SORRY) I've been planning the lover boy's surprise birthday party and I didn't realize so much goes into it... the vendor, the entertainment, the caterer, photobooth, or no photobooth, this and that ahhh and it's a week away.

Having to run errands after work, I dressed extra comfortable and with the weather being so fickle, I wore a lot of light layers; perfect for the 'in-between' weather.
