change of seasons

Playing: I Wanna Get Better-Bleachers
Reading: The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno by Ellen Bryson (Kind of getting tedious.)
Sorry that it's been over 20 days, since I last blogged. I thought about deleting my blog for awhile and couldn't make up my mind, but I'm back with some posts for all of you. Going along with my current love for oatmeal topped with a crap load of berries, I ordered Mona's Breakfast at Haute Cakes with poached eggs rather than egg whites because obviously the yolks are the best part. Even though I think I am capable of making decent oatmeal, Haute Cakes hands down makes the best oatmeal. It's fluffy, creamy, and comes with a ton of fruit. Also, the poached eggs with spinach and salsa verde was very good (and healthy?).
If you live in Southern California, I highly recommend visiting the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, Calif. It's incredibly beautiful and all of the flowers looked like something straight out of a Tim Burton movie (he already did this in Big Fish). Oh and to play into stereotypes, this is how I imagined the Netherlands would look like in elementary school minus the palm trees.
I also did some shopping in my time away (what a surprise!). Here are my recent purchases: a Helmut Lang t-shirt, Zara sweatshirt, and an Aqua puffy coat. My style definitely wavers between being edgy casual and being completely gaudy with tons of sparkles and dangly earrings. It's kind of ridiculous how I'll show up one day in jeans and Converse with a leather jacket and then the next day I come in teetering in heels with a short skirt and glittery necklaces layered around my neck.
I also bought a pair of nude heels for my upcoming prom to go with my D&G dress. I was originally planning on a teal or maroon pair, but then realistically, I would never wear those again, so I went with a safe pair of nude heels from BP. They're actually really comfortable from all of the times I've worn them out and about so far. In my opinion, they also look more expensive than they actually are. I'm sorry for being gone for so long and will start catching up on all of you wonderful blog posts. I feel like I've been out of the loop for such a long time.

    1. Recently, I've been crazing egg yolks all the time, so I really loved this breakfast! :D

      Haha, thanks! I'm looking forward to wearing them out and about.

      No problem! And glad I could impress you. It's hard to remain nonjudgmental, but I find that what they say about bullies only doing it due to low self esteem is true. I seem way more judgmental when I'm in a bad mood, which is bad and I'm trying to stop.

  2. Welcome back!
    When I see fields of flowers, I think of the Netherlands too, shamefully.

    2. I don't think I'm going to delete my blog anymore. If I do stop blogging, I'll just leave it that way I can update it whenever I want. And sorry for being such a nuisance.

      Whenever I got cute erasers like that, I found it impossible to use them, so now I only buy super functional ones.

    1. Thanks for the follow! The shoes are so basic that i think I can get away with wearing them a lot. Also, they're super comfortable for heels! (Highly recommend them!)

    1. Aww thanks! I don't think I'll delete it. If I do get tired of blogging, I'll just put it on private that way if I ever want to start up again, I can. So it's not just me? I immediately thought of Ewan McGregor standing in a field of daffodils!
