time away from you

(coat- H&M, jumpsuit-H&M, shoes- Asos)

I really enjoyed my time spent in LA, but I'm glad to be home.
Can't wait to enjoy the rest of my week off.
This coat is perfection. I don't think I have taken it off since the moment I bought it.

Took these shots the other weekend and just got around to posting. I hope everyone had an amazing holiday and merry christmas.

I was able to knock off quite a few items on my wishlist but was surprised to see a snuggie under my tree! It's probably one of the best presents ever. I'll have a better update this weekend! Meanwhile, don't miss out on the giveaway that ends tomorrow!

Merry Xmas

Merry Christams, Xmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Saturday!
If you only knew how much trouble I went through just to post this one image today!Bah!

The Badass

Happy Holidays! I will be in Texas until New Years Eve. Hopefully there will be some updates in between.

tied the knot

Vintage dress and belt. Rebecca Minkoff clutch. Proenza Schouler shoes. Banana Republic necklace.
A couple weekends ago I attended my co-worker's wedding and last-minutely picked out this vintage floral dress complete with ruffles from the shoulders all the way down to the hem. I tried to play off the apparent 80s vibe with more modern accessories like this lucite necklace from Banana Republic that makes everything look ten times fancier. Love that this dress is so flirty with movement, can't wait to wear it more casually.

Never really been to a wedding outside of my family, so it was pretty amazing to attend a winter wedding with a leisured reception that included a list of games for all the guests. A part of the night included me running around trying to find an item a woman wears but doesn't show in a twisted game of musical chairs. I lost because I refused to take off my panties until I realized that the other players were coming back with deodorant. Running in these shoes isn't that easy either.

ducking into Borders for impromptu reading sessions

(pants-c/o American Apparel, boots-See by Chloe, camel cape-Zara, denim button down-vintage, faux fur-H&M, ring-c/o Modcloth, bag-Zara, hat- Urban Outfitters)
A casual little getup for braving the holiday shopping crowds.

I'm really loving all of these burnt orange and tawny hues that keep popping up everywhere.
Good alternatives for brown and camel, and perfect for the impending explosion of all things 70's.

The Rivieras

I haven't posted a wearing today for a while, but the transition from summer to winter (California doesn't believe in Fall?) has been boring me - that or I'm just bored of everything in my closet.

As you may have read in other blogs, I've been lucky enough to meet with some very beautiful bloggers in the blogophere. I wish we had good pictures, but they're all blurry! Helen also accidentally deleted the pictures, so I guess we're all relying on Linda.

We had a blast at Ketchup in West Hollywood, and the group included:

• Kristin and Val from Bleachblack.com
• Lucrecia from Fashion is Poison
• Taghrid from Taghrid's Lookbook
• Linda from Chictopia's Coed-Ugly
• And the one who got us all together, Helen the co-founder of Chictopia
  

• Vest and shirt: Urban Outfitters
• Jeans: Cheap Monday
• Shoes: Chloe

Ignore my habit of putting my cellphone in my back pocket.


I was honored to be contacted by co-editor of Riviera, Stephanie Phan (seriously has the cutest Australian accent ever), for a small blurb about me in December's Riviera magazine. Hopefully you can read the article. Mind you, I used to play World of Warcraft in highschool when I dated my first boyfriend.
