peace of mind

dress: show me your mumu // shoes: converse // sunnies: juicy couture

it my attempt to be more grown up, i have made a serious effort to look on the brighter side of situations that appear quite unfavorable. and because of that, i've found myself a much happier person. it takes far too much energy to dwell and quite frankly, i do genuinely believe all things happen for a reason.

i love love love how these photos turned out. it really epitomizes how i've been feeling lately. i spent a great deal of time tormented and now i feel like i've truly found peace of mind. nik took these beautiful photos for me on our brief road trip. my sister grilled me over buying this dress to make sure that i'd make the most of it. i really think wearing it 3 days in a row proves how much i really love it. sanitation was clearly not a concern.

good thing i don't sweat profusely.

leopard & velvet

top: cotton on // skirt: romwe

playing with textures and shapes. this velvet skirt is surprisingly versatile. i think i'm going to wear it with a super cropped sweater next if this unpleasant LA weather persists.

also, thank you so much for the lovely comments that really make my day every time i read them. they mean so much to me. truly!

backline

dress: stylestalker // heels: steve madden // accessories: the style manor

wearing necklaces backwards… genius. new goal in life: do this as often as possible without looking like a hot mess.

and for the record, every girl needs a black dress of some kind. if you're like me, you need one for cocktail affairs, the office, going out, wearing everyday, and then some.

dip-bleached shorts

sweater: h&m // shorts: selfmade // boots: dv by dolce vita // leg garter: DIY

literally every which way i turn my head, i see a new destroyed/distressed denim shorts company sprouting up. one of my all time faves is one teaspoon of course. runway dreamz is a newer brand that also has caught my attention with their incredible attention-to-detail-studding.

these came from a seller based solely on instagram/tumblr. and everyone knows, i support small business. pretty true. also my go-to excuse to buy just about everything i find from a small vendor.
