Baby Blues

The weather has been all over the place since January but it is finally warming up! I love the heat and I couldn't be happier! Taking full advantage in this outfit of the day!

Date night at Diablo

Last weekend we finally got around to trying Diablo- its an adorable Mexican spot in Silverlake that was recommended to me by a friend nearly 3 years ago....guilty as charged on the procrastination front! We got the carne Asada tacos and pork nachos - both were absolutely fantastic! They have delicious housemate hot sauce as well. They are not kidding around on the heat which I for one  greatly appreciate. 

Gotta love walking around in Silverlake- so picturesque! 

Perfect Friday night treat! 

Viva Las Vegas

One of the many perks of living in Los Angeles is the short drive to Las Vegas. I had never been until my move out here 2 years ago- since then I have been 5 times! A dear friend of mine was in Vegas for a work conference and I was lucky to be able to make the trip to see her. Since I am completely terrible at gambling my favorite sin to commit in sin city is gluttony ;) On this trip I finally tried the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars palace and it was delicious! Worth every penny and every calorie! Here are a few pictures from our trip 

BFF's Sorry for the poor quality- this was an iPhone only, no camera kind of night! 

I love how everything in Vegas looks like you are on a movie set- so stylized everywhere you look!

Pre-Brunch 

So so SO delicious- I can not say enough good things about this buffet! I wish it were healthy/possible to eat this every single day! 

Stolen from my Snapchat  - the creativity of this dish blew my mind! So cute! Speaking of Snapchat I am a total addict my username is trainwruk if you want to follow :) 

What is your favorite Sin in Sin City? Any buffets I should be trying? Any gambling tips?

OOTD: Minimalist Carnival Employee

One time someone commented on an instagram that these are "Mickey Mouse" selflies; cause of the hats. I never noticed before but now it cracks me up every time. Theres no other place to store the hats but a hat wall !! Plus it would feel ridiculous/fake to take them down every time just for a pic (?) or am I being lazy ? I mean these blurry iPhone snaps speak for themselves clearly things are a little lazy lately, but I think I feel more comfortable writing these post with casual and conversational tone. Next time my schedule lines up with Matt though I'll get some real pic's together too. 

ANYWAYS I got this shirt at a thrift store in college (back in VA; now that I am in LA and after a terrifying experience with bed bugs I have sadly had to end my love affair with thrift stores) but this shirt is great it goes with/over/on anything. The pattern + material feels relaxed but a little edgy, I do think I look a little bit like I work at a carnival when I where it; Although I mean carnivals are dope so I am certainly not complaining. Any thrifters out there ?? What are your best purchases ? I once found a pair of hardly worn Louboutin ankle boots/booties for like $13 they were a size too small for me which was absolutely devastating. I still bought them (cause you don't not buy $13 Louboutin ankle boots) I gave them to my good friend Katie and she has put them to good use and she's good at walking in heels so it was still a happy ending. 

These sandals are the best thing ever and they are getting so worn- I bought them last year at an H&M and at the time I hardly liked them and now I am so in love with them and sad that I didn't buy like 5 pairs because they go with everything and are flat so I can walk in them and wear them to mic's. 

BTW after the worst dry spell in creative history I have FINALLY been writing again and am just so excited to be getting back into the comedy flow; I feel most alive and like myself when I am writing/performing like things just feel so clear. I feel happy but scared that it's going to go away again or something because this last dry spell lasted like 7 months and it was the absolute worst; especially cause its like HELLO you're in LA this is what you moved here for why are you not going out self !??!  So I hope this good vibe is back to stay. 

It's Friday and I DONT have to work tonight which is awesome. I'll be going to a mic with Matt. I hope everyone has a great weekend ! TGIF !! 

Hair update: Dark and Stormy

What started as "highlights for the summer" turned into lightening my hair for about 2-3 years. I absolutely LOVE the look of blonde golden locks. Unfortunately for me though, around December of last year my peroxide habit started to really take its toll, my hair was dry and brittle so I feel like I had no choice but to give it a rest and go back to my natural (or as close as I can get to natural) brown.

First picture is me at my blondest, serving up a fierce pose in some harsh daytime lighting ! (or should I say as fierce as a pose can be in my backyard in Virginia- you go 20 year old version of Allison FOUR for you!) this is an outtake from one of my first blog posts titled Hott Pants ! (I still own and love those shorts!)

Mid- december I first attempted to go darker and it turned out a reddish hue. This was a happy accident and I was actually totally cool with this but it faded out to a weird brassy color in less than a week. 

This is where I am now .. giving my best Lana. Side note: Sometimes I wonder about what future generations will think of all our "selfie"s. I mean I take TONS but I am well aware its a little crazy buttt  its a guilty pleasure. I hope my kids find all my selflies one day and are embarrassed; not too embarrassed but just enough) 

Anyways the dark hair is fine- I am still adjusting and I think I have creeped out my fair share of LA blondes by over complementing them. Like I talk to blondes now like a person who just lost a dog would talk to dog owners like "OMG I used to have a dog just like this but he's gone now I miss him can I pet your dogg"::"OMG I used to have blonde hair I loved mine I miss it  I LOVE yours how'd you get it ? Can I touch it ??" Oh also it is VERY hard to adjust your make-up routine with dark hair when you have been doing it with blonde hair for the past 3 years, any other hair-dyers have this challenge ??
