For the past month I’ve been rigorously pushing myself to get up and go on morning runs throughout downtown Santa Monica. I love the erie feeling I get when I step out my apartment door and notice how quiet, mystic and lonely the city is in the early morning. A 360 from its usual hustle and bustle the westside gets in the afternoon. Especially on sunny days when tourists and workers come out to get a piece of that California sun. I believe whole-heartedly the collection at Spaces and Gems was inspired by my runs through the Pier, boardwalk and streets on theses early mornings. As I am about to wrap up the California Girl edition soon, I hope that everyone out there gets a chance to enjoy what’s left of the collection before we move on to the next one!
On a last note, I’ll leave you with the first single off the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album releasing in April 2013. Enjoy!

Good for you, going on morning runs! I wish I could drag myself out of bed to log a workout in before the day really started- I’m not conditioned this way, and have to hit the gym in the evening.

Thanks! I love the gym, but I’m not good with commitment so its a lot more cost efficient for me to opt out of a membership. Best of luck to you!
