I’m fairly certain that the week after spring break is the worst week ever. Everyone has exams, projects, and deadlines galore, so I’ll make this short and sweet (literally!).
In the past week, I may or may not have overindulged in the finer things in life. On the one hand, I know my inspirational fitness guru of a friend would disapprove of such gluttony (so avert your eyes!). On the other hand, my darling BFF would say, “I’d rather die 20 years earlier as long as I can eat what I want.” Can you tell which half of my conscience I listened to last week?
Green tea/chocolate and original tart fro-yo @ Pinkberry in LA.
James’ 25th birthday cake @ Chompies in Phoenix.
Dessert assortment @ Lago in Las Vegas.
We’re halfway through this busy week! So amidst all the stress, I hope you take some time to indulge in something decadently delicious.
And then go take a spin class.

After my overwhelming experience with vintage shopping in LA, the boyfriend and I hunted down a nearby food truck (with the help of Find LA Food Trucks). The Comfort Truck was parked up on a curb, commanding Melrose Avenue in all its fire engine red colored, intoxicating fried food smelling glory.
James and I shared a fried chicken wrap, stuffed with corn relish, and a heaping to-go box full of thick, creamy mac n’ cheese. I. Love. Mac. And. Cheese. And surely enough, the Comfort Truck truly lived up to its name. The food was delish, sentimental, and perfectly indulgent.

As the weather in California was absolutely perfect, I attempted to make the most of my Gap utility jacket. It’s casual and comfortable, without trying to be too literal. I lucked out when I got it last spring at a unbelievably generous sale price. It’s been one of my favorite things to wear ever since. Unfortunately, with the temp rapidly rising, I think it’s time for this layering staple to go into hibernation soon.
As for me, I’ll be out on the prowl for more food trucks the next time I’m in LA. I plan to have my Twitter feed full of food truck recon. Let me know what your fave meal on wheels is so I can scope it out during the next visit!

Burrito @ Orange Inn in Laguna Beach
To kick off Spring Break 2011, the beau and I took a mini-roadtrip up the west coast, heading first to Laguna Beach for brunch. The Orange Inn Burrito was delish, but then again, I’m a sucker for anything containing avocado.
I’ll admit that I watched the synonymous MTV “reality” television show back in the day. But I actually love Laguna for its laid back, village-y ambience. People brought their dogs everywhere, surfers floated patiently in the water for the next decent wave, and everyone in general was friendly and carefree.
Wish we could have spent more time there, but a few hours taking in the sights and weather was enough to feel relaxed for days.
Hope you’re enjoying your spring break! And if you don’t have one to enjoy, feel free to soak up the pics, even if its just for a moment in your hectic day.
