the marina

floral blazer, silence+noise

glasses, my brother's

skirt, jcrew






jewelery, vintage



boots, MIA




I have decided that my style is defined by very feminine pieces mixed with rough masculine accessories. I absolutely love the contrasting image. I often find myself searching through my brother's and father's closets for anything that I can alter and incorporate into my wardrobe, which is full of floral, pastels, lace, and bows.

The tank top I chose is practically made up of holes, but nothing can make me make throw it away. It's the most comfortable, fitting white beater I have worn. And the gray skirt was on sale at jcrew and I was instantly drawn to the silver hardware adorning. It definitely adds some edge to a denim skirt. And I must say Silence+Noise has now become my favorite brand from Urban Outfitters....the floral blazer is way radd!

So glad to be off and have a relaxing night at home. It's been awhile since I've had a lavender bubble bath, a glass of wine on the couch, and time to paint my nails. Oh and so excited to see Trevor Hall play up in Tahoe next week with Gabby! If you have never heard his music, check out "To Zion" , "Unity" and "Lime Tree"...they will change your life!

It was such a lovely day on campus. I found an new place to journal in the rose gardens, display my amateur artwork in stairwell of the art building, and read my fashion books in the grass in front of the education building. I wish the piano was there to stay in front of the student union, but it was only there for Art Town, which lasts the month of July. Now too bad classes seriously begin less than a month from now...bummer!

What looks like just a blouse is actually a romper. It shrunk when it was washed(duh its rayon), so my butt cheeks would be totally hanging out if I didn't pair it with this skirt. I thought the patterns nicely complimented each other. I added tons of vintage accessories that my grandmother just gave me. I went and visited her a few days ago and completely enjoyed myself. She was so sweet and suffered Thai food for me. Then we ended our night with a romantic comedy and ice coffees. But as usual, we went through her amazing jewelery collection and she passed along a few more of her pieces.I think I'll have to dedicate a post just to what she gave me this time.


Well this will be the first post of many to come :)...Thanks to Andrew!


peace&love
