GA_HeadbandsI said it was coming, and today is my first giveaway: Forever 21 Running Headbands! The winner will get all three. All you need to do is simply comment below, and a winner will be picked at random. I’m not asking for follows or likes, just simply a comment for entry. I personally own these headbands, and they’re pretty tight elastic with a silicon grip inside. Maybe because I’ve a large head that they hold really nicely, but I’ve no complaints about them!

Enter today! Giveaway ends Friday, September 13, at 10:00PM PST. [CLOSED]

I have at least two more giveaways slated for Fall, so be on the look out for that, too.

UPDATE: Winner is Caroline, #4. Congratulations!

Being a couple weeks into September now doesn’t mean that summer and the heat are over here in southern California. With temperatures easily surpassing 90* through October, I’ve been taking advantage of snagging discounted swimwear since everyone else’s season is over. Above is my favorite snag of the year, the Sketchy Squares top. Do you stock up on out-of-season gear for Summer or Winter?

Over the weekend, I was able to sneak away to Catalina Island for a little bit and enjoy some beautiful weather. The island is just an hour off the coast of South Los Angeles/Orange County. With about 150 of them wildly roaming the island, my goal was to see a bison up close, which we did! Here’s a quick Vine of our golf cart ride, which we rented for a few hours, and few shots of the island.

+ The Casino building, which was never actually a gambling institution.

+ Oddly enough, the USPS has one of the coolest design details on the island. Their PO Boxes are in their original state from decades ago, complete with hand painted numbers and turn locks. The post office is part of a shopping center, so it’s easy to stumble across.

+ There’s plenty of palm trees and scenic shots in Avalon.

+ BISON!

+ View of Avalon harbor, which has such gorgeous water by the way.

+ Movies in Color: pairing films with their corresponding palettes.

+ Has August gone by crazy fast for anyone else? Just me? Oy, so darn fast.

+ X Games had its final curtain call here in Los Angeles. It didn’t really go out with the bang that I had hoped it would, but it was almost fitting since it reflected the touchy state of action sports [in my opinion]. I’ve taken for granted the past 10 years of X in my backyard, so here’s to hoping that the train keeps chugging along and that Austin takes real good care of it. You’re always welcome back, X Games.

+ Message in the sky: if you squint really hard, you can make out the phrase “Don’t Do It” on the plane banner. A not so subtle message to The Swoosh.

+ Football’s back! Kind of…pre-season and all that stuff.

+ Sunday brunch with the girls at Public Kitchen. I’d give it a B.

+ Have a terrific week!
