Modern Notebook

My boyfriend recently went from a contract position at his job to being a permanent employee. We’ve been hoping for this for a while and he’s been working hard to make it happen. Naturally, we had to celebrate. On Saturday, we went back to our college, Cal Poly Pomona, for its annual Pumpkin Festival. Then we headed over to one of our favorite date night hangouts, the city of Claremont. It’s a college town, unlike Pomona. You see, Pomona has one college and it’s mostly a commuter school. Claremont has three colleges within walking distance of many shops. It’s nickname “The city of trees and PHDs” rings true.

We ended up going to a Spanish restaurant in town and ordering some delicious tapas. It was nice to have a long, relaxing dinner and catch up. Of course, we talk every day, but this really gave us an opportunity to bring up things we had forgotten about mentioning.

For our day out, I wanted to wear something that would be comfortable enough to walk around in but also a little dressed up. Besides, I love wearing tights and it’s finally cool enough wear I live to do so.

By the way, I’m working on making a content plan for this blog that makes sense for me and my interests. I’m thinking that will involve more fashion posts and less on entertainment. Then again, most of my clothes are from Target so does that mean I can’t be a fashion blogger?
