August Favorites

besides the weather ( too dang hot)  August has been pretty great, especially cause its my birthday month! here are my favorites for the month! what i've been, wearing, eating, doing and obsessing over for the month of august!!

wearing in august: i could not get enough of this kelly green cotton sundress from www.oldnavy.com
light material cinched at the waist and adorable sailboat print.


drinking: mini fraps! perfect way to get your sweet tooth handled without a bazillion calories and everything is cute mini! my mini man drinking a mini frap!
 going: august was our first trip to legoland. for parents with toddlers this place is amazing! however unlike Disneyland or magic mountain there isn't much to do to entertain pre-teen - adults. my little man is two and he had a ball!  i was lucky enough to score free tickets but its $85 a ticket for adults and $75 for children 3-12



celebrating, and eating: this year i had my birthday dinner at Busalacchis A Modo Mio. let me tell you the food here is amazing! it keeps me coming back again and again, the pesto crepes and imbottiti dish are to die for! if i had to choose my last meal this might be it! for those of you who dont know imbottiti is a sliced eggplant rolled with three cheeses, pesto inside with  buccantini and pomodoro sauce. oh and if its your birthday they have a lovely man named Mario serenade you with happy birthday in Italian! just writing this im thinking of when i can go back! no lie it is one of the best places i've ever been for Italian food! ambiance is great and they have out door and indoor seating and are located on 5th ave. www.busalacchis.com/menus.html
favorite summer trend: floral headbands! these are a perfect summer trend especially in california. they are so whimsical and carefree whether you buy them or make them! i found the first three at the closet on Rosecrans and the big daisy one I'm wearing below i made with just lace fabric and glued gunned on fake flowers i purchased and Michael's craft store.



 what im loving: personaized gifts! these are just a few but this personalized stationary i got was awesome!

I'm slightly obsessed with my hot pink monogrammed over sized clutch! www.giginewyork.com

how I'm helping: like allot of you out there me and my son participated in the ALS ice bucket challenge , at the time we had done it they had already raised $41 million I'm sure by now they have raised double. if you would like to donate to this amazing cause go to www.alsa.org




what end of summer favorites would be complete without toes in the sand! i personally dont like the beach but my son does and watching him in enjoy it makes it one of my favorites for the month!


swimming lessons!! had to make the favorites list cause it so darn cute!

all and all it was a amazing month! But this girl is ready for fall! what were your august favorites?

xoxo,
just janelle
