It is that time again!

One lucky reader will win this gorgeous blouse by LEYENDECKER!
How pretty right? I love the loose fit, crop cut, and beaded detail. Talk about a stunner! I think it’d look so beautiful with a simple pair of skinny jeans or miniskirt for Spring. This Los Angeles based brand is one of my favorites thanks to their simple, unique pieces!!

Shredded Threads

(Storets sweater, Vintage shorts, Via Spiga boots)

Just a few snapshots of me after a meeting. We found an awesome little sidewalk showered with autumn leaves and took some photos, even with the innocent bystanders lurking by the trees watching (always a little awkward, but after blogging for about a year you get over it. Always think: “i just want a picture damn it!”) Anyways, I’m so happy that with the warmth, I can just slip into a pair of shorts! My legs have never been so happy…or so white. Thankfully the weather looks like it will be beautiful again this week.YES! It will definitely make getting up early for work a hell of a lot easier. This day, I kept things super casual with a shredded pullover and some vintage trouser shorts. I like the combo of something totally ratted out with something completely clean and tailored. Makes for an interesting look, eh? I wish I had the energy to write you a deep, thoughtful, blog post, but I am exhausted! Have a fantastic rest of your week! Updates to come!

For now, take a look at MANGO’s blog KEEP THE BEAT for a few outtakes from our shoot. Not long till the campaign launches! Click HERE!

Too Much Fun Getting Dressed


(Modcloth Sweater, 80’s Purple tee, Vintage skirt and bag, Salvatore Ferragamo flats)

I’ve been playing around with everything in my closet lately trying to keep things fresh. Instead of staying simple like I normally do during the week, I decided to throw a few different prints and textures together. And here you have it, what I came up with. My mom ran into me as I was heading out the door and she was like “wait, you’re going out like that?” and I said “psh YESH” under my breath in an annoyed-out daughter kinda way. It’s such a comfortable look and I can’t wait to wear it again even if it is slightly bagladyoffthestreetwhoforgottolookinthemirrorbeforeleavingthehouse.

As for what I’ve been up to, all I can say is things are crazy busy. I’m working nearly every single day next week. Not complaining by any means, I’m actually pretty excited. I’ve got some modeling and of course some fun blogging relating things going on that I can’t wait to share with you! I have a day off next Saturday, where I’m hoping to spend the day meeting up with all my favorite LA bloggers! It’s always so much fun when we get together because unlike most of my other friends, they LOVE taking pictures and don’t get scared when I whip out the camera. Even though I’ll be out and away from the computer most of the time, I’m going to try my very best to update the blog at night! Adios amigos. For instant updates, just follow me on Twitter! HAPPY WEEKEND!

Thrown Together




More images that have caught my eye recently. Effortlessly threw them together today for inspiration. What matters though, is the perfect mess in these photos. The tangled, straggly hair along with the whole “i’m pissed off and bored but beautiful” look. The artwork and one of the images was found off Sharon Gong’s website (she amazes me every time) and the rest were collected throughout the week while roaming the blog streets with my eyes half closed.
