california girl.


Urban Outfitters intarsia swan motif jumper | Vintage leopard print ballet flats | Urban Outfitters studded satchel

As most of you know from my previous post, I spent the holidays back in L.A. with my family. These snapshots were taken at the beach as we surveyed the grandeur of the Christmas Day sunset. The weather in L.A. could not have been more glorious. One of the many perks when residing in Southern California. 

It has only been a couple days since I left to go back home. Although I am really glad to be back with Koby, I am also already longing in my heart for my family, as I miss them dearly. Especially my twin sister, who is my best gal friend in the whole wide world. There is nothing more precious than having someone who can finish your sentences, already know what you are thinking, understand your curious humor, and be your shield even when you are not expecting it. Being with my best gal friend and my family at the beach as the sun switches places with the moon could not be a more perfect way to spend Christmas day.
