Another weekend in Pictures

Hiya all! I am back again. I was in LA this past weekend for a birthday thing and it was a lot of fun. It was good to be home again, that's for sure. I really miss the trendy heath conscious scene there. Or rather, the abundance of delicious food, the organized events and laid back people.


Layered custard cake from Urth Caffe in Santa Monica. 

Spanish Latte from Urth Caffe. OMG, yes.

Travelling on the 5 fwy is extremely dull, but this reservoir made it better. 

...and last but never the least, a little something something to keep my spirits high - 

Lancome Bronze Amour Eyeshadow Palette

It was a 6 hr drive one way! I believe this palette justifies just about everything :)
Cannot wait to do a look with this. The bronzey colors usually aren't my thing but the warmth of this palette drew me in. 

How was your guys' weekend? :)

I hear great things about Urth Caffe. Next time I'm there, I should definitely hit it up. My weekend was great. I was also out of town in Seattle. I guess no one wanted to be in San Jose this weekend.
