Wow, I am so exhausted right now! Just got home from my shoot with Volcom for their Fall 2011 collection for both US and Europe. So much fun, we had a ton of laughs on set! And let me tell you, the new pieces look amazing! Everything was very much my style: silky button-ups, tight fitted skinnies, and fringe handbags. I am so excited to get my hands on some pieces and show them to you! Anyways, I am currently bundled in cozy pjs and a bathrobe with a cup of tea admiring the latest inspiration images I’ve gathered this past week.

Currently inspired by all things bohemian. Florals. Velvets. Chunky jewelry. I grabbed a few dark violet shades and threw it all on. The best thing about fall is that you can just pile on up and layer, layer, layer. As you can see, I’m still obsessed with throwing on a bralette over basics. Makes things a lot more fun! I put all of this crazy stuff together with a simple and basic black cashmere sweater by Bebe! It was a gift and has become one of my favorite classic sweaters for fall. While shooting the Bebe video with Dylana, I came across some really cute basics that work perfectly with everything in my wardrobe. I was asked to style this sweater for their fun Facebook contest will be starting this week!

Also, many thanks to everyone that commented/tweeted to enter my giveaway: a $100 gift card to online superduperchiceverythingscool 80’s Purple! The winner is the lovely and oh so stylish: Ilanka of Fashionnerdic! Congratulations!! Have fun shopping girl!

I hope everyone had a really relaxing weekend. Weather was beautiful here in Cali so I took a long bike ride. Haven’t done a big workout in a while so my body hurt quite a lot afterward. OUCH! Caught up on reading… and studying (boo!) as well. But I’m looking forward to the rest of this week. I am shooting for some of my favorite brands, including Volcom! ! Woohoo! I’m definitely going to try to find time in between to do a few blog posts here and there. I don’t know why everyone’s constantly like “I WANT IT TO BE THE WEEKEND ALREADY!” umm, it’s only Monday. Take it easy. I love the hustle n bustle of weekdays.

For more timely updates, just follow me on THE TWITTER hehe 🙂

I have no idea why I am up at this time, on a Friday! Worked late at Juicy last night and didn’t hit the sack until after 1, which is actually late pretty late for me. I like my sleep. So I’m currently waiting for the coffee to brew, and blogging in the mean time, all while looking like a completely sleep deprived mess. I’m trying very hard not to think of all that needs to be done this weekend! I’ve got exams to prepare for and shoots going on all next week. Eeepers! (Please don’t hate me professors for constantly rescheduling exams!)

Anyways, back to the outfit. It’s been sooo chilly and windy this week. This past month it has gone from really hot to pretty cold in a matter of days. But worst of all, it is FREEZING in my house. Trying to stay warm with a bunch of layers. At the moment, I love shearling jackets, especially this one by Spotted Moth. They aren’t big or bulky and still keep you relatively warm. Same goes with my leather pants. I know they look scary and uncomfortable, but these are really easy to move in and made of incredibly soft leather. One pair is more than enough and I don’t think I’ll be investing in another anytime soon! This look is pretty much a mix of tough, rough around the edges, pieces with a pretty floral top. Just the way I like it.
