Doggie Beach

2011-05-11T15:21:00.000-07:00

My life has been somewhat busier than I expected.

I just came back from West Palm Beach but left my camera there.

Pictures to come soon! (or later...)

I live a couple blocks from the dog beach.

I never heard of such a thing until I moved to SoCal.

I miss driving up onto the beach with your dog, tent, and bbq pit or random bonfire.

These were taken about a month ago from my boyfriends Iphone.

I can't get enough of all these blossoms over here in Richmond and Washington D.C.

This watch ring is a present for my friend Mona that I got from the Melrose Trading Post.

Sorry I've been gone for soooo long! School and work and moving into a new apartment had me.. I know... excuses...

Went to Melrose Trading Post last Sunday and found some goodies!

My friend saw Erin Wasson there in the morning!!! Wish I was there earlier!

Bought my friend the watch ring that I fell in love with!

2011-01-10T22:36:00.000-08:00

I promised Albert I would post again by tonight. =P

I've been saving this dress for a cold day that I got back in May (long time right?!) at H&M in Chicago.

It kept me super warm, and even hot at times!

Shoulder pads, elbow patches, cut-outs, and faux denim?

My name was written all over it.

As much as I may deny the pain, I couldn't make myself wear heels around New York.

It's been since 2005 since I've been back to the City and there was a lot of ground I needed to cover.

Runway Rundown

2010-12-06T08:46:00.000-08:00

Runway Rundown's look for today is from Vera Wang's Spring/Summer 2011.

Their pick was a cute dress by Moschino Cheap and Chic.

Here's my spin on the look.

For some added texture, I threw on a vintage fur piece.

I tend to wear more pieces than dresses.

tube top $5 sale Urban Outfitters, fur piece $7 vintage, skirt $22 Forever 21,

clip chain $30 Club Monaco, Wedges $20 Forever 21

So the look was about $34! With accessories about $84!

Check out Runway Rundown!

Christmas is in 22 days???

Ellus from Brazil and some

2010-12-02T06:10:00.000-08:00

When I was in Brazil last year, I discovered the brand Ellus.

The next 3 pictures are from their Spring/Summer 2011 collection.

The shape of the heel kind of reminds me of Proenza Schouler's.

I love their crystal knuckle ring thing on all their purses!!

Marc by Marc Jacobs, love the ridged wedge!

And Prada, I'm realy in love with the swirls in the leather!!

I actually just went through over 2600 pictures of swimwear on stylesight.com and came across the Ellus shoes.

I will be sharing my favorite swimwear picks for SS11 soon!

Covey had a blast! And I need to find the name of this surf spot because it was peeling sooo clean and peaking lefts and rights! Note to self, will come back to surf soon. Found this straw hat in Cincinatti and this top in Chicago! I was using this picnic basket as my purse that day. I found 10 sand dollars at the dog beach!

Maybe I should have dressed more Spanish settlers inspired...

But I have several pieces I treasure and have been wanting to share =)

Another shoulder thing that I love! it's just this square with a hole in it that I threw over a tube and these awesome vintage shorts! I found those shorts in Cincinnati at Talk of the Town.

One good thing about SoCal is their weather and I get to wear tops like this. Crop sweater, not too hot and not too cold. I found these vintage Levi's in Chicago. I think I'm allowed to be patriotic any day.

I'm starting school tomorrow! It feels like forever since I've been in school even though I only graduated a year ago.

But this time, I feel like a true fish since I only have a handful of friends in the state so far.

I love my fish bag! I use it every time I go surf or run errands. It's just my happy bag.

This was a couple days after I moved at Huntington Beach Pier.

Was off yesterday and the surf was clean so me and Steph headed down to Galveston!

bikini top from a stand in Brazil, bottom Zingara Swimwear

We went exploring down some streets in Tiki Island to find a cute place to eat our sandwiches. We found a little pier and pulled into the parking lot. All I remember seeing was "Open" and "Welcome" signs. But Tiki Tom RV Park guy came by when we were leaving and yelled at us for trespassing. I mean yelled. No "hey guys" or anything, just mean man yelling at 2 girls for pulling in and out of his lot. Who knows if maybe we wanted to rent a space for our RV or something but noooooo.

Haha okay enough,

me and Steph don't like you Tiki Tom.

Vintage studded vest I found last week!

Here's a peek of my belt collection! All vintage, my favorite is the black one in the middle. Sea creatures, Chinese warrior, hippo, African warrior, Japanese warrior, gold western studs, gold scales, suede studded fringe.

I can't stop buying heels, but I'm really a sandal girl.
My favorite pair is actually some raggidy brown Rainbows.

I love this little school girl thing I found awhile back.

s.t. #2

I couldn't resist this little rodeo guy.
An uncategorized shoulder thing that's suede and has fringes?
How could I say no?

This is actually a circle scarf that I'm wearing on my shoulders.
scarf Gap, top Sasha, shorts Forever 21, tights target, shoes vintage

Sold! Wanted to take pictures of this jacket before I sold it. =)

I found this jacket sometime last year and never wore it.
I know I'm breaking rules by wearing my brown hat but my bff brought it from Australia for me and doesn't it seem fit to go with my crocodile hunting in swamps look?
Btw I heart Steve Irwin.

interviewee

2009-11-18T19:42:00.007-08:00

My 6th+++ interview today was with Club Monaco.
Took a picture of my outfit during my lunch break before I had to go back to work at Zingara.
Normally, I dress more casual.. Yesterday's outfit was for my interview with Michael Kors.
If you haven't had Chick-fil-A, you're missing out!

I was super excited to wear my new studded skirt, it has a zipper 0n the back and pockets!

the white skirt

2009-11-17T20:04:00.012-08:00

I still can't get enough of my pencil skirt from Zara I got during the summer.

Worn today with top Forever 21, blazer vintage, skirt Zara, necklace Tiffany & Co. and my brass knuckle ring.

At our Zingara Swimwear fashion show in August, I wore it with earrings from Zingara. I love these earrings! I won't lie, they're heavy after several hours.

Back in July, Zingara girls went out to Soma Sushi. I wore my skirt with a necklace I got at the Hippy Fair in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

If only their bottoms were brazilian cut..... love them!

I'm planning a trip to Australia in January for a short swimwear course. I'm curious what I might learn from them and it gives me an excuse to visit the outback.

I love the aboriginal feel in her fashion show.
