heels, vintage

jewelry, vintage

lace nightgown, vintage

belt,vintage

My grandmother gave me this vintage cream lace night gown to cut and alter, as she usually does with her old pieces of clothing she does not want and thinks I can reinvent. And I usually go scissor crazy with most of them; however, this piece I absolutely loved as is. At first when I tried it on, it hung on me, nothing special or flattering. But after cinching the waist with a belt, adding jewelry and a lace flower to my messy long locks...it was perfect for an old Hollywood glam inspired look.

Enjoyed my Sunday: Living Stones 9am service,soy latte from The Hub, volunteering at the Nevada Museum of Art,listening to a live Jazz band, browsing Andy Warhol books,Catnap, Afternoon run, Dinner at the parent's for my mama's birthday, and to end it...Candles lit, steaming Green Jasmine tea and listening to the rain fall outside my bedroom window..mmm perfection!

rebecca minkoff

I somehow came across Rebecca Minkoff's collection on one of the many fashion websites I browse daily and instantly felt like she was designing for me! The colors,details, and simplicity of each design are absolutley stunning. Above are the few pieces that I completely adore!

My life is written in lists...daily 'to-do" lists, grocery lists, lists of goal..for the week, year, 5-years, lists of music to download, films to watch, places to go. etc..they are never ending and needless to say I always have a pen and paper close by! So i thought i'd share my most recent list..."The List". The name hasn't come to me yet because it's so random (and unranked)...but here's the start of it:

"THE LIST"

1. See Mat Kearney play live

2. Go lipstick shopping for the perfect shade of red

3. Practice yoga regularly

4. Cook a Vegan Thai dinner

5. Do a WINE WALK

grandma's garden

silk shirt, forever21; sweatpants, forever21

sunglasses, marc jacobs

rings, vintage; bracelets, street vendors

black wedges, bakers

Last Monday, my grandma invited me and my sis down to her house for a lovely girl's lunch. She made us chef salads, which were so yummy! While we ate them, she pulled out scarves, earrings, and necklaces she has pulled from her closet for us. Oh how I love her! We then enjoyed peach frozen yogurt and cappuccinos for dessert on her patio to admired her flower garden. Overall it made for an amazing Labor Day!

The day before, Kee and I had stopped at forever 21 to spend our gift cards and this silk shirt and green skinny sweatpants were some of my finds. I originally bought them for separate intentions,but when they were laying on my bed I couldn't help but try them together. I think the colors and textures are a nice contrast. I wish I had a close up of my necklaces...the thing gold chain with purple, black and orange beads was the necklace my grandmother just gave me and it went nicely with the shirt. I'll dedicate a post soon to all my new accessories I have accumulated.

Now I'm off to dinner at the parent's :)

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!
