busted out my "vintage" armani exchange jacket. if two years old qualifies as vintage… frankly never wore this jacket when i actually worked at armani. it's a little bit too sporty for my personal taste but if i recall correctly, i got it free of charge so no complaints there. it's actually really comfortable so i'll likely throw it into my rotation more. which means i'll wear it once every six months. deal.

multicolor chain bracelet

alimonada graciously sent me this multicolor chain bracelet. they just restocked on their site! their collection is a mixture of edgy spikes and skulls with a feminine touch. i'm craving for their three spike necklace.

how perfect would it be over a vintage band tee for coachella?

black and white. how could you go wrong?

really wishing this sweater was a bit thicker though. not really sure you can even call it a sweater given how thin it is.

this past weekend was spent mostly at disneyland with marc. my goodness was that exhausting but so incredibly fun! now i really really want to get an annual pass to disneyland! ahh that would be unreal. and of course, not that socal select one. like the premium no blackout dates one! pictures tomorrow as i cornily enough want to post it on valentine's day.

i've been really liking the button down under a sweater thing. this makes me feel preppy which is not me at all. doesn't help that i picked up a striped fitted sweater at abercrombie this weekend... and a rugby cardigan.

and RIP to one of my singing idols, whitney houston. <3
if you never listen to her, shame on you. now click here to make up for it.
my favorite whitney song ever:


her voice literally gives me goosebumps. i will never forget loving the day i mastered "the greatest love of all" for my piano recital.

super distressed denim

i've been on a layering kick. trying to master this art.

i found that slightly longer vests with leather jackets over make for a great pairing.

so far, i know my denim armani exchange vest was worth my then-employee discount and my once too clean-colored leather jacket make a great couple. granted, the jacket is pretty worn in now and is more dirty than it is creamy.

royal blue skinny jeans

didn't really realize how blinding i was until i looked over the screens from this shoot. glittery gold and bright bright royal blue. a lot to take in, i know. nonetheless, i really love those skinny jeans. they're the perfect length for me. being the incredible midget that i am (without my towering heels), i need to get every inseam taken in. and these happen to be ankle skimmers for most people. for me, they fall right at my ankles. like that's how they're supposed to be. done deal.

tonight i'm venturing to san gabriel to celebrate my 7th month with marc. and no trip out there is complete without a giant half & half beverage.

happy 2nd to last workday of the year!

house of holland suspender tights

i pretty much only wear tights during the winter and it serves a very full function of keeping my legs warm because i am not a pant-wearer. i became obsessed with these tights when i saw countless images circulating tumblr and after some intense hunting, i ordered my pair from london. they, as well as some other fancy tights, are however available at urban outfitters.

since i have the rare luxury of having friday off, tomorrow is the beginning of my 4 day weekend!

& come sail away

dress: lollipop on melrose jacket: armani exchange bag: henri bendel heels: jessica simpson jewels: chan luu

i finally created a bloglovin account. found a bunch of new blogs that i definitely want to read. i'm really obsessed with rumi, jules, kelly, and aimee.

this weekend's plans? brandy melville's garage sale and a possible moseying of 3rd street promenade... might as well make the most of my trip. this weekend i'm going to work on my ebay store and picture and post a bunch of clothes i want to sell.

i finally got my dmitri james (skinn) make up today. i really like it! i'm more of a dewy skin person but this matte make up actually proves to make me look a lot less oily. shocking.

not even going to pretend i wasn't a victim of fashiontoast's advertising.

have a wonderfully summery weekend!
xxxo,

& we all have a weakness

some of our easier to identify
look me in the eye

we all have something that digs at us
at least we dig each other

if i turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me

currently working very hard to get my headbands up and running.

some days my creativity flows out of control and i can't even make fast enough.

these days it's a little slow. where's my stimulation? i guess i'm most motivated when i'm shopping because i see things that really inspire me. i guess that means more shopping right? makes perfect sense.
