BLOGTOBER DAY 10 // BALBOA PARK

I think there is one dream I have in life that I am pretty positive will never come true. What wish could that be? To find a time machine that would take me back in history. Literally nothing could make me happier than walking around Versailles at the time of Marie Antoinette or walking along the banks in Paris in the 1920's. But alas, that is just not really an actual possibility (still doesn't make me want it any less either).
Why do I bring this up? Well, on Friday I drove down to San Diego to celebrate my step-dads 60th birthday. My mom decided to visit Balboa Park for the day since no one had been for quite a long time and I myself had never been. And lordy lord... IT WAS AMAZING. 
Just some back ground on Balboa Park, it was the site of the World's Fair in 1915. The best part? Nothing has been changed since then and it is incredible. If I ever want to pretend my dream of time traveling was a reality, this is a perfect place to start. Here are some photos I took of this unreal place and I hope you enjoy!

Day Trip to San Diego + What I Wore

Yesterday my sister and I decided to go and visit my older sister in pacific beach San Diego. It was a semi-chilly day and oddly enough many things were shut down for the winter months...like this is California...come on people it's not THAT cold. (Disclaimer: El NiƱo has everyone in California absolutely in a frenzy of excitement/confusion apparently).

For my outfit choice I opted for green Springfield jeans that are so comfortable that my sister actually gave me. They were bought in Spain as Springfield doesn't exist in the states! (cries forever) The jean jacket is one of my moms old one's from like the 80's that I steal every time I'm home and the shirt is from Zara. The booties of course were bought from Nordstrom Rack but are actually Lucky Brand!

My sister had been raving about this new coffee shoppe called Better Buzz. They have a drink literally called "the best drink ever" and holy moly... IT IS AMAZING. Not only does it taste like heaven but daaaaang was that puppy strong! If you are ever down in that area I highly recommend it!
Here is my drinking said drink... also yes I know one nail is painted on but it ripped off the other morning and I didn't have time to go and get them removed (lol what a mess)

Hope you enjoyed the post! I may try to do more ootd so let me know how you like them! xoxo Sam
