Top: Madewell, Shorts: Vintage Versace, Booties: Stefane Kelian

These shorts are a little DIY! I just snipped these old Versace mens jeans into the perfect black high waisted shorts. I cannot get enough of high waisted denim shorts! Love them to death. Topped them off with a wool/cashmere crop top! I like how when I stretch my arms out, it creates a perfect rectangle! A simple sweater with a really cool shape. Now I have to get a bunch of stuff done around the house before my 5 week trip to Asia. I feel like I have seen everything and done everything there is to do here in LA. I am going to miss the comfort of my own home, but I’m super excited to see so many new intersting things and eat really exotic foods! Of course I will be documenting it all on here!

Silk Tank: Bebe, Shorts: Forever 21, Shoes: Via Spiga, Bag and Faux Fur: Vintage, Jewelry: Vintage, Sogoli, Elena Cruz

This past week has been so warm and beautiful, about 70 degrees. Downtown was even hotter, I was nearly sweating walking back to my car in the sun! Overall, it’s been so nice with the warmth. I’ve been using it to my advantage by taking more early morning walks and by eating on the porch rather than in the dining room. As you can probably tell, lightweight materials have been dominating most of my closet space lately. I hate feeling bulky with heavy clothes! I do have a love for fur though, so I wrapped this little faux fur piece around my bag. It is definitely a tank and shorts set that will be in my suitcase to Asia the end of this month! The collage I made below inspires me to pack worn-in white tees, lots of shorts, and killer shoes. Can’t hardly wait. Until then, I’ve got work to do.

Here is more of my work shot by photographer Lauren Ward.

My header photo is also from this shoot! I love the hazy photos and dusty rose colors.

Shiny Pants: Cheap Monday, Shirt: GAP, Faux Fur Vest: Forever 21, Booties: Bally

I’m whippin out the black shiny pant and how rock n roll are they? They’re kinda my new love and kinda make me want to scream at the top of my lungs into a microphone with a rock band haha. Anyways, besides what I imagine doing in the pants, these ones by Cheap Monday are actually really comfy, though they don’t look it! I kept it pretty simple today, one can’t go wrong with the black and white. Black pants, white button-up, black fur. I’m lovin the whole “lets kick some serious ass” vibe of this outfit! Definitely one to repeat! 🙂

And here is an illustration of me by Leslee from LA, artist and blogger of Ink My Fashion. I was so excited to see this in my Inbox! No one has ever made a sketch like this for me before! It was a very pleasant surprise and really made my day. This illustration is an incredible remake of a shot from my Revolve x Lookbook.nu photoshoot. Leslee is a true artist! Thank you for doing this for me!!
