Hawaiian Tropic

Rejoicing these last few months of summer weather. So, I thought why not go for some Hawaiian print brights? I went for the Cat eye makeup look again. Maybe my previous board inspired me after all? :)

A Modern Day Fairytale

What fun I had frolicking about the scene during my younger brother's visit, the photographer behind this very set. Feeling sprite-like, I took it upon myself to pose waterside. As we neared the local theater, he snapped a few extra candids. (We saw "Rear Window" that day.) It was a warm, sunny afternoon filled with fluttering butterflies overhead and a near cloudless sky. I opted for a floaty, cotton frock, from none other than one of my usual haunts; forever 21. Leather flip flops, shining in all their aldo golden glory, adorned my feet. My belt? ...vintage. A colorful pair of shades, I dredged up from a pile at the urban outfitters' post, set the mood just right, with their cheerful golden hue. Ending the day on an even more positive note was my lucky tote, a vintage find I treasure, as it was handmade. ( ♥ ) Hope you are all enjoying the extra long weekend!!

"Summer Sun, Winter Wind."

As we begin the transition from sunny weather to cooler conditions, I came up with this Collage that incorporated a little bit of both. The shift shall be fun. Let the shedding of cotton jumpers begin, in turn being replaced by chunkier knits. With inspirations deriving from all sides of the spectrum; loose fabrics, bright pops of color and fringe details done up in suede, effortless chic never looked so good. When in doubt? Layer, layer, layer. Rules are made to be broken. Mix Summer with Fall, Winter with Spring. This Season will be all about inventing, experimenting and finding new ways to wear old pieces you once loved and have since forgotten in the back of your closet. There is no wrong, as long as you put your whole self into it. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's ideas. It doesn't get "cold" here, per se, until mid December, sometimes. Wah!

It may rain, but still I see the light

Having ordered my straw fedora a little over a month ago, I only just now realized that Rachel Bilson has the exact same fedora I donned last month in my Blog. Above she is shown in those exact candids (taken a couple of weeks ago) wearing hers. How fun to see one of my favorite peers donning something I purchased without even knowing it was also her latest 'obsession du jour.' In fact, it is that same outfit I am wearing above that was entered and approved for the Teen Vogue snapshot contest entry. Be a dear and vote for me here? Thank you so very, very much to everyone who has already voted for me ♥ and to those who intend to do so in the near future... all you need is an email to register.

(8.18) End of Summer / Muse Board

I thought to myself, with summer coming to an end, why not tie in some of the best parts into a Collage? I know many of you aren't looking forward to having to go back to school again (my younger brother included!) Which is why I decided to make this little inspirational "gift" for all of you, my readers, as you head back into classes. From Heath Ledger and Christian Bale; for their impeccable acting and outrageous summer box office sales of "The Dark Knight," to worn in denim street style, fun club pieces, and Runway model garb that surely inspired this Summer. Hopefully this "Muse Board" will inspire you as you get back into school form and have you coming back to my blog for more.
