Wearing Chambray & Flower Print

Last Thursday I kicked off a day of events in Laguna Beach. Since I knew it would be a sunny day by the beach, I was inspired to wear various shades of blue. I just picked up these flounce shorts with a fun hibiscus print from Aeropostale (on clearance!) and paired it with a chambray button down. This is a great way to not only mix fabrics, but also colors and prints together. Find a printed top or bottom and style it with a colored top that matches one of the colors from the print. I also have been trying a new hairstyle since my hair is much longer now; I call it the 'Ariana Grande' since it's her signature half-up high ponytail. Here are the outfit details:

Slapfish, Laguna Beach

It's lunch time and I am starving, good thing these photos of food from Slapfish can hold me over until I can grab food. I've heard the name Slapfish a few times, and was under the impression that it was a sushi restaurant, but when stopping by their Laguna location, I was pleasantly surprised at the innovative seafood menu. Although the location has just enough room to walk in, order, and grab utensils; there's an open outside seating area.
After a day at the beach, my friend Trang and I stopped by and we ordered Chowder fries to share and one Ultimate Fish Taco each. I thought we weren't going to be full by sharing the fries and having just one taco, but boy was I wrong. The Chowder fries are on another level, I was thinking the chowder might cause the fries to be soggy, but it was more like a gravy and topped with tons (and I mean tons) of bacon bits which offset but complemented the creaminess of the chowder. The ultimate fish taco is definitely ultimate, in both taste, freshness, and size. I was not expecting to receive such a big piece of fish; the size of the fish within the tortilla made it look daunting to eat, but I simply cut down the middle, added some hot sauce and folded up the taco.
