Time Out, Time In

So, I got distracted for a bit but I'm taking things day by day.  Time flies when so many things are racing through your brain. You start you realize that there aren't enough hours in a day for tasks you want to complete but yet you continue to push yourself over the edge.  There has to be a balance and I'm starting to learn that as each second passes.  I'm also very stubborn and subconsciously I think I like to learn the hard way.  Taking a step back really put things into perspective.  On this stroll, there was no intention to take pictures but I really liked this outfit so, why not showcase it?   The floral dress and the military vest are both from Zara.  This combination works well because I'm not extremely girly. The vest adds contrast to the softness of the dress and gives it balance.  The bagI found in my mom's closet and the boots I bought at a vintage store in London called Boots Boots Boots on Portobello Road in London. If you ever get the chance to go, it's a must!  The owner of the shop was extremely helpful and very genuine.  I bought 4 pairs of boots that day!

I Left My Heart In...

   

   

   

San Francisco is a place I've been to several time and it's definitely a place where I could see myself settling down, if I ever want to.  Paul Kanter once said that it's a city that is 49 square miles surrounded by reality.  It's a getaway, a place to roam free, a place to leave the hustle and bustle of the city.  Most of all, it's an incredible place to thrift and find fashion gems! On the iconic street of Haight and Ashbury, there are several shops to stumble into and trust me, you'll never be disappointed. Since San Francisco is known for their vintage clothing, I thought I would dress the part.

Black and white checkered patterns always reminds me of how horrible I was at playing Checkers as a kid.  It was probably because I didn't care too much for the game and got too distracted with how interesting the board looked.  If you didn't know, I get side tracked quite often.  Especially with things that things that are bold and eye catching.  This black and white top jumped at me once I ran across it at Forever 21 so I had to buy it.  The faux leather circle skirt is from DailyLook.com and the black hat is from Topshop.  Oh, and I couldn't forget the Ray Ban Wayfarers to block beaming rays of the sun!

The Light

I love that California has such great weather because you can practically wear anything!  It was such an amazing day to shoot, with the exception of the sun being too bright and in my eyes.  None the less I was able to get a few shots in. This knitted top is one of my favorite pieces in my closet and I love buckles on these booties-- they're really comfortable too!

New Kid On the Blog

This is my first official post and I'm so excited because I've been wanting to start this for such a long time.  It's quite difficult to balance a full time job while trying to juggle a social life and now a fashion blog. I guess if you're passionate about something then you'll find time, right? I spend a lot of time in LA and the Art's District is one of the many places where I like to wander.  You can walk on practically any street and find something that will catch your eye.
