From LA to Tokyo

Last night's going out outfit was inspired by a F21 look:

This super cool neon yellow trench was a thrift store find and I love finding combo's to wear it with….
And I had no time to do anything with my hair hence the addition of the hat! :)

 There is going to be a lot of beach and pool days in the coming months and usually I count those days as 'no outfit' day but figured once in a while I should show what I wear.
So here you go this is what I wore to our Monday beach playdate.

I had always wondered where do people wear sweaters over swim suits but realized our chilly in the morning weather was perfect for such pairing. 

My friend got me this gorgeous beach bag a few years ago. It goes so nicely to my new fun colored rash guard…. 

And here is how I looked when the weather warmed. 

I got this rash guard from Nordstrom Online before the season began and it is super cute and perfect coverage when I am with the kids and not really swimming myself. It has the right kind of coverage without looking like a 'mommy top'….

Sweater - Costco 

Rash Guard - Nordstrom's

Baseball Cap - Comic Con

MONDAY:
For 3 summers in a row now 4 of my friends rotate hosting Monday Playdates as one of the mother's work and Monday is her only day off during the week.
But, first my son started his Surf & Skate Camp on Monday.
I drop him off at the beach where he will start with a 3 hour surfing lesson then a lunch break followed by a 3 hour skateboard lesson and I pick him up at the skateboard park…
His bag was huge with all the gear Monday morning:

So this was our first one of the summer.
We went over to the friend who lives right by the beach so it was a beach playdate.
We were a bit rusty with our packing and everything but we'll get back in the routine pretty fast I am sure… What a fun day….

We've got a good thing going

Yesterday's outfit was inspired by Polyvore combo:

I am always drawn to simple casual combinations because they suit majority of the days in my lifestyle and yet add a touch of chicness to a super casual outfit…

SATURDAY:
We had a fun start by attending a 1 Mile Kid Run with LaDainian Tomlinson of Chargers! Which was the big draw for my son.
Made a bad decision of pairing myself up with my son and hubby with my daughter. I don't know what posessed me to think I could keep up with him. The kid is in amazing shape so of course he sprinted forward and I lost him within minutes then panicked and frantically ran all the routes (there was a 5K route and the 1 mile route and the volunteers were confused and were sending kids to the wrong direction). My hubby and daughter finished and apperantly she was able to run the whole thing and we searched for my son and found him thank goodness. Note to family, next race pick a meeting spot near the finish line. Just in case.
The kids loved the experience so I think we are ready for our first 5K very soon.
Afterwards we came home and hung around and did some projects around the house then went to my son's friend's birthday party.
At night we were all tired so got take out greek food and watched a movie together. :)

AND SUNDAY:
No major outfit was it was spent near the pool followed by a BBQ with the family all day long celebrating Father's Day. 

She put on a show for her grandparents:
