I hate denim, but I love see through lace flares. And Free People. And skulls. And summer. Happy Friday everyone and ta-ta for a whole week. I am traveling to El Salvador for work and will be back with great photos to share soon.

Downtown Flare
Went downtown this weekend with this lovely lady for a change of scenery. I love downtown LA and miss being there {I used to work downtown}, but rarely find myself wanting to make the drive to go back. I am turning over a new leaf though and plan to not be the West LA girl who never leaves West LA. May is not too late for a new year resolution is it?

Neon
A bright, sunny day deserves bright neon colors, but since that day was also a weekend day that I had to work comfort was key. These Zara pants are perfectly comfortable and so colorful I think they will be on constant rotation. Happy Monday everyone!

Easy Breezy
Sometimes I think the best part of living in Southern California is not having to wear pants most of the year. The ease of a maxi skirt (especially on a beach day) cannot be challenged in my mind. And if you switch up a flat sandal for a funky heel and a leather jacket you have an outfit ready for a night on the town.

Rolling on the {River}
Who wants to learn how to longboard…me! Har har. Super cheesy photo I know, but with 80 degree sunny skies filling my weekend its hard not to be cheesy. I took full advantage of the sun by trying my hand a long-boarding on Saturday. Much easier than a typical skateboard and a reason to cruise around on a beautiful day. At first it was a little difficult and I was glad to get to take breaks for swing sets and photo taking, but I cannot wait for round two. Hoping for more weekends like the for months to come. PS – also testing the waters of the floral bottoms trend. I know it isn’t the increasingly popular denim, but silk shorts are just so much more….silky.

American Idiot
Last night I went to see American Idiot {the musical} and it was amazing! Hung out in downtown LA for a little bit and remembered how much I love it. Perfect weather and big city-esque feel with all the lights and walking around {in my new Zara flats} made it a great night. The show is playing until the 22nd at the Ahmanson Theatre so if you have a chance you should definitely go see it. We got tickets from Goldstart but you can also find them on the American Idiot the Musical website {here}.

Captain EO
There was a debate that I may break my ankle trying to be like Michael Jackson. I totally did not, but ended up with the great photo above. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Insta-Fashion
Sometimes there is just no one around to snap a photo so I do it myself. Ah, the beauty of Instagram. I love to use it for anything from what I am wearing, seeing and even eating. Feel free to follow me {thevelvetjungle} and you can see what I have been doing when I am not updating here {best friend travel dates and march madness have been top priority as of late}.
