Shopping Day in LA

Happy Monday friends! Last weekend Clayton and I went to Los Angeles to celebrate our three-year wedding anniversary. In case you didn’t know, we got engaged in LA five years ago, so it was really special to be back together. I’m planning on doing a full review of our trip later this week giving you guys some recommendations on where we ate and where we stayed, so stay tuned!

This was definitely one of my favorite outfits I packed for the trip. It is so easy to throw on and SO comfortable guys. Y’all have seen me wear these jeans a million times, but they are literally the most comfortable pair of jeans I own. I just placed an order for these as well (and love these – you can tell I’m a little obsessed with Express jeans). This is a great go-to outfit for just about anything… lunch with the girls, date night… would even be great if you throw on these to run errands. I actually wore this outfit as we were out window shopping on Rodeo Drive. We walked into Gucci just to look around and came across this belt. Clayton insisted I get it and although I would usually never spend this much on a belt, I knew I would be able to wear it over and over for years to come. It’s so chic and I love how it’s a little different than the black and gold Gucci belt that everyone has. It was such a sweet surprise and will be fun to always remember our trip to LA when I put it on!

You will know if you’ve tried to purchase a Gucci belt recently that they are sold out EVERYWHERE. I would normally be a size 75 (for reference), but of course, they were sold out. The sales associate told about a place down the street called Arturo’s that would resize the belt for $20! So instead of waiting weeks or months for my size to come in, I could get it right then & there and sized perfectly to fit my body! So if you’re in the same situation, I suggest calling your local Gucci store and asking if they recommend any places to do the same.

It’s a brand new week and I want to start off by reminding you that you are loved. You are valued, you are important, you are strong. No matter what trials or challenges you are going through, you will get through it! Let’s all start this week off with the glass half full. You have the power to make a difference in someone’s life each and every day, so go do something you can be proud of!
