the last bits

I refuse to believe summer is actually gone. Holding onto the last bits of it with accidental off-the-shoulder tops and bare feet.

Every girl needs a pair of high waisted denim shorts in their closet. Never mind if guys don't like 'em (sorry Alvin). They're flattering and go with everything. This pair for example? Stolen from my sister's closet and I wore them 3 days in a row this weekend. #yolo

This long coat - obviously a big favorite of mine - makes it so easy for me to put outfits together when the day's weather just doesn't call for anything fancy. Not sure if you guys have heard of handvaerk but damn, this is my absolute favorite grey crew neck, it's just so soft and fits perfectly around my shoulders. Check out the other styles that they have on their site. My eyes are own their perfect crew neck sweatshirt or a grey henley that I surprisingly don't own in my closet. 

And drum roll please...congratulations Mariah Bowen, you're the winner of the AdoreMe giveaway! I'll be shooting you an email soon so keep a lookout. Thanks everyone for participating and there'll be more where that came from ;)

resolutions

The quickest post - with some resolutions for 2014. Never thought we'd make it here, eh? 

This year, it's all about downsizing and minimalism in every most aspects of my life. Keep to the essentials and I'll always ask myself, do I really need this in my life? (Even though chances are...the answer will be yes)

Another resolution? Commit and dedicate. I have to admit that I'm a naturally lazy person. But hey, this year - I'm gonna have more content for y'all. Outfit posts, lifestyle posts - travel (hopefully) and tons of food, if you can dig it. 

Here's to no more half-assing it and another great year. And here's to you guys, thanks for being awesome!

the first of many

An all black attire with a little grunge-y detail to ring in the season. Oh and did I mention that this Zara hat is the start of my new collection? I'm sure I'll be obsessively purchasing more hats to add to it!

Have the best Friday, guys!

There we go, the layers are coming back. Unnecessarily early, but I don't mind it. 

Happy Monday, y'all!

I can't, for the life of me, remember where this sweater is from. Good thing Urban Outfitters always comes to the rescue with a bunch of similar sweaters here, here and here. This has got to be the ultimate fall outfit, throw on a short dress and an oversized sweater with your favorite short boots or loafers.

Literally one of my favorite vintage finds thus far. I love anything that's anomalously shaped, thank you thrift gods! And do you guys remember that C. Wonder post from a few weeks ago? Well I'm rocking those rad shark tooth earrings and I can't stop wearing them. I had no idea killer animal teeth were so in, but then again. Who doesn't love Shark Week?

revamped classics

Normally I try and stay away from horizontal stripes and sequins - stripes are never the most flattering and sequins are just a little too loud for everyday wear. But together? Man, it's magical. The sequins perfectly dress-up the horizontal stripes and the boxy cut of the shirt paired with a pair of boyfriend shorts makes this outfit one of my favorites in the mix.

thrifted top  |  gifted Motel Rocks skirt  |  ShoeMint flats

There's nothing like a good daisy print to put a little bit of fun in your outfit. Two different daisy prints though? I thought I'd try it. This Motel Rocks skirt has such a minimal daisy print that it was easy to pair it with this wilder top that I thrifted a few weeks ago (what a find, right?). Motel always has the cutest prints, Arizka (girl crush, yo) rocked a long, maxi version of this print and I just had to go with the same title from one of her other posts (girl really loves her daisies). I paired it with a denim shirt this past weekend - on Instagram - confirming that this is gonna go with basically everything I have in my closet.

summer layers

Layering up for the summer? Never thought it was possible. But my penchant for white dresses has really gone too far (or not far enough?). Must. Get. More. (this, this and this - in white of course.)

Obviously a huge fan of sleep, so I had to sport a pair of pajama-like shorts that I purchased at none other than that magical place called Zara.

Urban Outfitters varsity jacket (similar)  |  random crop top  |  thrifted boyfriend jeans (similar)  |  Senso shoes from LF  |  vintage LV bag  |  Urbanears headphones  |  gifted Iconemesis iPhone case

These mom jeans aren't the most attractive of the bunch. Especially for a little shortie like me. But with just a little bit of height from these new Senso shoes, I think I can pull it off. I paired these highwaisted jeans with a crop top and a varsity jacket (as always). Obviously, I was feeling a little street, so these Urbanears were a perfect addition to the outfit, giving the outfit a bit of a nonchalant, hiphop vibe that it desperately needed.

here take my sweater

gifted Friends & Associates shirt dress  |  Zara oversized sweater  |  thrifted briefcase  |  gifted Soxxy socks  |  ShoeMint boots

I've been brainstorming ways to wear this gorgeous shirt dress from Friends & Associates after that intro that I did way back when. Sure, it's chic and minimal by itself, but only a crazy person wouldn't wear sleeves in this weather. I opted for my trusty oversized sweater to drop off the shoulder and show some of the beautiful pleating and contrast collar and to show its enormous versatility with cute striped socks and classic brown boots.
