I’ve been browsing Style.com for ages this morning and I stumbled upon two collections that I adore! They are complete opposites from one another, but scream CHIC CHIC CHIC!

First off, there is Acne (a word I’d normally cringe upon as thoughts of adolescence and awkwardness run through my mind). But now I can only associate the word with the simplistic, sheer, shouldbeworneveryday clothing that I’m dying to have in my closet this coming Spring. I love the dark colors and loose fits. Now you see kiddos, there is nothing wrong with having acne! I kid. I kid.

Now on a brighter note, there is Rebecca Taylor, my new designer girl crush. I’m lusting over the loud colorful prints that work well in soft flowing fabrics. This collection showcases the comeback of the long maxi dress perfectly. And once again, it shows that anything high waisted works! I think I’m in love…

Lately, I’ve been leaning towards loose menswear inspired pieces of clothing. I like how they fall on my body. I’ve never been a huge fan of really tight items of clothing due to my long and scrawny frame. This is one of my favorite looks: a vintage Italian blouse along with a pair of trousers I found at the Goodwill in Santa Barbara. They were only 99 cents! Funny how the cheapest items in my closet are always my favorite. The shoes are straight out of the new collection of Naya Shoes, of which I am a huge fan of. All their products are eco-friendly, made with all natural materials and soft supple leather. I love how these labels like Naya can do good for the environment and still come out with incredible, fashion forward products. Believe it or not, these heels are also so soft and squishy thanks to their cushioning. I love them for work and castings, where I have to run around in heels all day. I’ve learned from experience, uncomfortable shoes suck and completely spoil my day. I’m telling you, get your hands on a pair of Naya’s now and view their campaign video with the gorgeous Julia Dunstall here! I am kind of obsessed. Your feet will thank you.

And of course I’ve gotta give you a dose of random pretty photos! Makes me really want to take a long trip outdoors, to the middle of nowhere…

I went bananas when I spotted this Stylestalker dress. It’s got the cutest cut-out back and the most perfect length. Not too long, but not too short. Just right with my favorite flat boots. I can already see that the long maxi dress is huge on the S/S ’11 runways! Thought I’d jump on the bandwagon now! It is pretty warm here at home so I am still leaning towards Spring/Summer pieces. I am really looking forward to Fall though! I’m dying for more overcast weather and a cool breeze. My latest buys are some Jill Stuart trousers and a huge nubby cardigan. Can’t wait to sport them in the coming months!

Also, thank you so much for all the comments on my video! You guys makes me want to sing and put more stuff on here! And yes, I do accept song requests! So anything, let me know, that you think would suit my voice, and I’ll try and work out a version for you!

As for now, I’ll be hitting the books. Studying, studying, studying for the next week. Trying to catch up on all the latest Fashion week news at the same time. I did get some exciting invites for Milan fashion week, but there’s just no time b/w work and school at the moment. Next season though, I’ma hit them up! Right now, just looking forward to a road trip up to the Bay Area with my best friend next weekend. We’re stoked!

I am so happy it’s the weekend! Finally, some time to just be around the house, catching up on reading and studying. Spent this past week finishing up the Volcom shoot down in the OC! I finally got a hold of the catalog that’s out right now! There are some really cool shots. I’ll post them soon! It was pretty awesome walking into the Volcom headquarters and seeing a big poster of my face staring back at me. Took a little snapshot with it!

I love how overcast this week was, but looks like things are really clearing up! This is what I wore yesterday running errands around the Westside, visiting my agency and grabbing lunch on 3rd street Promenade. Just kept things really casual and simple! I never really feel like dressing up or wearing any makeup on my days off.

And remember how I said, I would make another little music video for you guys? Well, I took one earlier this month! I’m singing “I Never” by Rilo Kiley, one of my favorite songs. I’m currently playing around and working on my own stuff as well. Hope you like the vid! 🙂
