How to Style Statement Mules

Cali come back... or more like I need to go back. These photos are from a walk we took on Spring Break and the houses were so dreamy! Succulents everywhere and I'm so confused how they stay alive and grow so large because I have a little baby one that I have been trying to keep alive for some time and it struggles both inside and outside. Any tips!?

Today I'm talking mules, the IT shoe of the season that I cannot get enough of. I wear mine with so many different outfits. Jeans, shorts, dresses, skirts, dressed up or down. Too scared to try the crazy colored or furry ones? Go for the simple black ones, trust me you will fall in love!  These floral ones matched the houses around the Venice Beach water canal area perfectly with all of the landscaping and bright colors. We thought it was pretty cool that we were walking around the area that Valentine's Day was filmed (yeah, yeah so cheesy).

Also, this backpack!! I'm obsessed and don't know why I never got one sooner. It holds everything I need in a purse plus my camera and lenses and maybe a change of shoes! I searched forever for the perfect one (ask Austin because I probably drove him crazy looking for one) and came across this Isaac Mizrahi one at T.J. Maxx on mega sale. Seriously, I got it for $20 instead of the original $248 and it's perfect!

Last night Austin and I went to see Jojo in concert, yes you know who I'm talking about. She's seriously so good and SO GOOD live! Smaller, intimate concerts are so much better to me because they aren't as crazy but still so much fun, and closer! Tonight I cannot wait to celebrate my roommate's 21st birthday, because I missed it for Jojo, I'm the worst. Girl's night! Now I'm the only one waiting around to be legal ;) I hope everyone is making it through the week, I'm off to get ready!
