This dress is one of the newest pieces from the Volcom Summer ’11 collection! It’s girly, but the dark chain print gives it an edge which I love! It goes perfectly with all the warm colors that are dominating my wardrobe at the moment. One fall accessory that I cannot stop wearing is this waist belt by Ayelet Shachar. It was such a nice surprise hearing from this up and coming designer from Israel. Her leather designs are all handmade and will last a lifetime! I love a dainty little dress with some rugged leather and nubby wools!

Also, I got my hands on the latest Volcom summer 2010 catalog during my last shoot with the brand! Here are just a few images from the shoot. All were shot at Volcom’s team house down in Newport Beach! It was a blast working with one of the most laidback teams! I love the results! I’ll keep you posted on images from the next campaign that will be out next year!

This time of year I find my style gravitating towards chunky knit sweaters in warm beige shades. I’m currently living in this one by ThreadSence, one of my newest sponsors. It’s really just an easy piece to throw on anyday of the week for work, class, and everything else in between. I look forward to sporting it more once winter really starts kicking in and I need something to cuddle with. Another denim label I’m a huge fan of is Rich & Skinny. They make anyones bum look slightly more attractive and legs all the more lean. then, you become rich and skinny. psych! just wanna see if you’re still reading. woowee, i’m delirious on mondays.

Anyways, I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start. My schedule is slightly scary this week but I’m trying my best to stay in track. I caught up on a lot of school work this past weekend and did some badass thrift shopping with Dy. Stumbled upon amazing maxi dresses that I look forward to wearing to some of the shows here during LA fashion week! Dylana is going to be covering a bunch of events and shows for The Fashion Spot and I’m going to be tagging along. I’m stoked to see the work of all the up and coming designers! It will feel refreshing watching the shows for a change instead of walking in them. Will keep you updated!

And for today’s fall inspiration: grunge simplicity. worn in sweaters, crop tops, knee highs, with mini braids and flowers to top it all off. so much goodness packed into one little collage.

Right now I am really into the preppy, old school, Ivy League look. I always picture an array of cozy knits flashing the school colors along with large shoulder bags making their way across campus. Comfortable and practical. It has inspired me to take a bold red cashmere cardigan, flat boots, and a large satchel bag along with my favorite pair of Hudson Jeans to hit the streets of downtown. I religiously wear my Hudsons due to their perfect fit and massive amount of comfort. And finally, they have opened an e-commerce shop on their site! woot woot!
I’m quite happy with this slightly studious look I wore to a figure skating show featuring Michelle Kwan and Yuna Kim at the Staples Center! The rink made the whole arena extremely cold so I’m glad I brought a cardi. Now if only I had on my reading glasses…
