I just got back Monday from a quick trip to Los Angeles for the weekend, and although I was only there for four days, it really felt like I took advantage of my time: cramming in the most possible both physically and mentally. Half of those days were spent in Laguna Beach for my sister's bachelorette party, which mostly involved hanging out at the beach/ a private pool cabana and drinking & eating my fill with a really fun group of ladies. And the rest of it I spent with my family, eating & drinking my fill yet again and getting in some great bonding/ shopping time with my sister, Jess. Tough life, right?

These pics were taken during the latter part of those activities, and I need to give huge props to my sister for being patient with me during the process. This leather vest was the only cover-up I brought on my trip, and was the perfect layering piece to transition from sunny days to breezy nights. I also paired my neutral layers with some flashy gold accessories: gold-rimmed glasses, an edgy new pendant I got from funky, London-based brand Only Child, and a classic gold, Guess watch. I learned awhile ago that fun accessories are the easiest items to pack on trips in order to switch up your look, so wherever I go I always try to bring an assortment with me. What are your must-have items when you pack?
