California Day 2/Day 3

do you know what it feels like to have ZERO internet for almost 3 days?! Funny how dependent I am on technology. Either way, I finally am logged on and SO excited to share some pictures with you from the passed couple of days!

So, the whole reason I'm up in California is for my good friend's wedding. Kyle is was asked to be best man and I was asked to be a bridesmaid! I am so happy to say that the wedding was a huge success. But let's back up to Saturday!

For breakfast Kyle and I discovered a MOST HOLY UNION of two of our faves. Tucson needs to get on this ASAP.

After b-fast, the ladies of the wedding party and the bride's family went to a nail salon near Mission Beach. I have to say that I loved getting my nails done near the beach. Definitely something I'd do again ^.^

Nail Salon Decor, Rehearsal dinner pizza, amazing view from hotel, me and Ky

Later that evening, we had the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner! After the hectic rehearsal, we devoured some delicious pizza. California has the best in everything, I'm quite convinced. This is the getup I chose for the rehearsal:

•  Cardigan: Walmart
• Dress: F21
• Belt: Thrifted
• Bow ring: F21
• Wedges: Fave UO

I loved every minute of it. 

Sunday aka WEDDING DAY: best described via pictures 

Cakes, the lovely bride, Kyle and I, the rooftop where the ceremony took place

The bouquets, my dress, another bridesmaid and the bride, BLOWFISH flats (bridesmaids shoes)

The ring pillow, flower girls, cookie/candy plate, amaaaazing view!

6 or 7 people in the wedding party met through Starbucks! Hence the ring pillow. It was more or less a match made in Starbucks heaven :) The wedding was too perfect to put into words. The bride and groom exchanged heartfelt vows and I held back tears the entire time! It was a beautiful ceremony and was catered by the Taco Surf, which was awesome! Love, tacos, cake, and a killer view. SUCCESS!

I hope you guys are having an amazing weekend! Sorry for being so unreliable with posting, I have wifi now so expect plenty more pictures soon!

Friday!

This Friday has been a pretty great one. Mainly because I sat down with my manager today at Starbucks and I got the promotion!!! Holy cow, I've been stressing like crazy about it and I am SO ecstatic that she is allowing me to give it a shot. I know I'll do a great job! In the spirit of Starbucks, I have a little treat to share with you guys! My drink of the day today...

You can sub Classic syrup for the splenda and raspberry for a sweeter version. Up to you! It was so yummy, it just may be a regular drink of mine! If you try it let me know how you like it.

Later this afternoon I shipped out some Shop My Closet goodies (expect NEW things this weekend!), and ran some other errands in preparation of my Cali trip that is rapidly approaching. Kyle and I eventually passed out on his couch for 35 minutes or so. It was one of those awkward sweaty naps that aren't entirely refreshing, but at least we caught some Z's. Then, it was time for us to get ready for my friend Courtney's birthday dinner at Zin Burger (aka burger heaven on Earth...)

We clean up nice eh?

I ate a bunless turkey burger with goat cheese and avocado. It was the best thing I've ever tasted! Kyle got the bun-on turkey burger with a fried egg on top! Such a culinary rebel.  I have SUCH a food baby right now, it's not even funny. I'm off to bed now, another early wake up call tomorrow -_- bleh. But I'm happy to announce that this week will be my last week of opens! My new position calls for night shifts which is wonderful! I get to re-unite with my bed/the snooze button. GLORIOUS. Sweet dreams <3
