Down On The West Coast

today i ended up beachside once again in Venice after a little lunch date in SamMo with my pal. 

there was literally art everywhere you looked which was why we chose Venice again. 

it was so inspiring especially for someone like me who loves catching cool backgrounds for my blog. 

 i see myself getting better & taking risks with every post that helps me learn what works & what doesn't.

i love blogging because it's a hobby that actually allows people to get to know me, my style & my city. 

imagine my progress after a year !!

Down by the Boardwalk

This weekend my friends showed me a side of Venice, California I've never experienced. I mean I've been to Venice Beach numerous times but I'd never seen the quaint & peaceful canals behind the hustle & bustle of the main streets. From Venice in the daytime to the Santa Monica pier at night I got some really great shots. It was fun & pretty awkward being the center of attention taking pictures all on the pier on a busy Saturday night. I decided to go for a casual kind of look because I wanted my outfit to match the chill, California beach vibe, I also wanted my photos to reflect the beauty of the day which is kinda why with this post my pictures are less me & my outfit & more sharing a part of my life. It's time to start sharing more of who I am as a person & what I love to do because aside from my obvious great sense of style I live in a amazing city with equally amazing friends.
