stripes & florals

left to right: black floral tunic (Forever 21), black and cream striped top with crocheted back & shoulders details (Forever 21), oatmeal lace crop top (Forever 21), ruffled navy and cream top (Target), and floral burnout tank with back zipper detail (Urban Outfitters)

Here's a little mish-mosh of photos. The top one is an assortment of tops I bought over winter break and adore adore ADORE (particularly the pink & black floral bodycon tunic as evidenced by the heaploads of photobooth entries I have wearing it).

Moving back to my lovely San Francisco has been amazing so far. I am so glad to be back. This past weekend my friends and I ventured to Dolores Park and basked in the hot sunlight amidst the hipsters, dogs and wafts of weed and sounds of makeshift DJ stands. After perusing around the lawns we tried a tea shop in Castro and I had the best jasmine lemonade tea I have ever tasted. It smelled literally like a jasmine blossom and was so refreshing. We're definitely stopping by again!

In the photos I'm wearing an absolutely DARLING little white dress with an owl pattern. I stopped by Buffalo Exchange on Haight St. to attempt to sell some old clothes despite their pretentious pickiness (only made about 25 bucks but still...) and saw the dress on the rack and stopped in my tracks. OWLS? I freaking adore owls, you have no idea. I know it's sort of a cliche thing to like since they're constantly used in jewelry and things but I still love them! I could not believe my luck that it was in my size and fit pretty much perfectly, if only a tad short. Even my friend who was with me said, "This has your name engrained into it's stitching, GET IT!" And believe me, I practically skipped to the register. I just want to wear it every day of my life. It's definitely going to be one of my three Coachella outfits for this year (which I am AMAZINGLY lucky to have gotten tickets for, by the way! sold out in SIX days. craziness, yo).

...Okay well anyway, I just realized I basically just spent an entire paragraph professing my love for a piece of fabric so I think we shall move on now before I really lose it! Here are the photos from my lovely lovely weekend:




I plan to photograph some more of my clothing and maybe film another style video soon so once again, look out for more :)

wardrobe update

I'm fairly certain that this blog is just going to be about fashion from now on, because everything else I care about happens on tumblr. so yes, it is officially decided!

As I've been living in San Francisco for the last four months, my personal style has inevitably evolved. There's so many good thrifting opportunities and effortlessly stylish people walking around hip urban settings that it's almost impossible not to try to catch up. And oh, have I!

I've spent a good amount of time, effort and dollars on fashion since I've been here so I thought I'd share a bit. These are just a few select items that I felt like sharing. There's a good mix of new & thrifted items in here...

(tan leather belt - thrifted)

(tortoiseshell sunglasses - Urban Outfitters)

(embellished gold locked necklace - H&M)

(assorted leather cuffs - SF Zoo & campus bazaar)

(golden animal ring set - H&M)
(semi-precious stone ring, golden woven ring, flower ring - campus bazaar, elephant ring - New York city via my boyfriend)


(cognac oxfords - K-Mart $13)


(red cardigan - thrifted $2, gray & white shawl sweater - Forever 21)


(high-wiasted Levi's denim shorts - thrfited, high waisted black denim shorts - thrifted)


(native-inspired printed tank - H&M)


(light denim button down - Thrift Town, SF Mission district)

I hope you enjoyed this little taste of my personal style. I hope I can update more and keep this going, because fashion really is something I love and take great care and effort in (I kid you not, I spent an entire day researching lace-up boots the other day). Lately, sharing my ideas and opinions has become more and more appealing to me. I read so many fashion blogs and watch videos and I love seeing what other people do and how they make outfits. That probably sounds lame and self-indulgent/self-centered/etc. to a lot of people, but it genuinely interests me. So I'm going with it. Huzzah!
