Even though I am a total tomboy at heart, I still cannot get enough of pretty, feminine prints. From florals to polka dots, I love it all! But if I am going to wear something that brings out my more girlish side, I never truly feel like myself without adding a slight masculine touch, like I do here with my new Alaia trousers that I picked up at a vintage shop this weekend. They are total man pants, but with their soft woolly texture, high waist line, and ankle skimming length, they feel right at home alongside my most feminine prints.

This week I will be constantly hitting the books for class, but I have an upcoming shoot for Joie later in the week that I am pretty excited about since I love their clothes! Until next time, adios!

Lounging in my Cargos

I’m ecstatic to have gotten to test out the new cargos over at James Jeans. I love the skinny fit, thick material, and rugged side pockets. A perfect everyday jean. And they are very tomboy and masculine, one of my favorite looks! I’m really happy this look is coming back in style. I don’t remember the last time I had cargos!

Recently, I’ve been busy juggling work and school. It’s kind of hectic, but I love how I’m never bored. There’s always something for me to do, which is nice. I like being on the move. Working on this blog is one of my favorite parts of the day though. I like how I can be creative while playing around with it. Just being completely in control. I know everyone’s still got the back to school blues so I made this little collage. Kind of makes you rethink your Fall wardrobe eh?

I almost completely forgot to post these photos taken in Baltimore, Maryland. While I was in New York, I started to feel a bit anxious and really just wanted to escape for a day so my sister and I took a coach to Baltimore. We got dropped off pretty far from Inner Harbor, but eventually made it there by bus. It was definitely worth the long hours sitting on our bums. Inner Harbor was absolutely gorgeous and calming. I love the smell of the water. A sweet mix of seafood and sea salt. Baltimore city, being one of the oldest seaports in America, has so much history and charm. The best part of our day was just resting at the top of a park overlooking all of Baltimore. I could have stayed there all night! It was really hot and humid so I stayed cool in a Calista silk tank and skinny jeans. Just really casual and comfy for the long rides on the coach bus to and from New York. I love supporting and wearing the clothes of the labels I work for. The brands I work with are usually the ones I would actually wear normally as well. Calista is one of my favorites considering the designers are so loyal and great girls to work with! We got together in New York and shot some of their newest pieces. I had so much fun. I loved the bright bold lipstick and smoky eye! The collection has a very tailored look with cool, classic cuts. Their lace and silk fabrics are their signature. Items that will never go out of style.

Just a quick little post! Wore this out and about over the weekend. I’m into mixing prints this time of year just to make my wardrobe a little more exciting and fun. I’m pretty sure the shoes are already on the feet of numerous grandmas. They are incredibly squishy, slightly squeaky, and “made for comfort.” But hell, they look cool and feel amazing! Who cares if they were made for ladies 60 and over right?! Anyhow, like almost every other person this weekend, I went to the movies. I saw both Dinner with Schmucks and Eat Pray Love. Dinner with Schmucks was actually kind of funny at some parts. Others, not so much. Eat Pray Love could have been so much better, but I’m in love with Julia Roberts so it didn’t really matter. The scenery was really gorgeous though. They really captured the beauty of Bali. I miss Bali so much, although the movie really makes me want to take a trip to India. It looks like a crazy fun place. Much like Malaysia, I hear the streets are chaos. Just a really loud mix of motorcycles and the smell of fried food vendors on the sidewalks. MY kind of place! Its insane, but I’m sure I’ll love it. Currently, my aunt is in Shanghai. Apparently, everything is “daaaaamn cheap.” Hmm, maybe that will be a holiday destination in the near future! It’s hard for me to stay in one place for long periods of time. Enough of my rambling, I’ve gotta hit the sack. I have a shoot at 8am, which means getting up super early to beat traffic and make it there in one piece! Night night everyone!
