Good Night and Good Luck

صورة
I call this dress my goodluck dress, not because I ace tests or win the lotto in it, but because I have the absolute most fun in it. Last month I went to a party in it and not only did I receive a compliment from basically every other girl in the vicinity, but also that was probably the best party I have ever been to. Last Thursday I put it on and headed out to Malibu with my mother to hang out with Chip and Pepper Foster of Chip & Pepper and also Pray For Mother Nature denim. Amongst other fun things (like free denim, yay!) the highlight was climbing the roof of their house and just chillin, you know, lookin at Catalina and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. (Thankfully I have photos of that crazy roof climbin' experience) Coincidentally, both the dress and the bracelets I am wearing are from my aunt. She found the dress at a thirftstore a month ago and showed it to me. At first, I was hesitant, and my mother just plain hated it, but after trying it on, I decided to go home with it.

I was in Zara a couple weeks ago with two dresses in my hand. One, a small lace baby doll dress, and the other, the dress I'm wearing here. I tried on both and showed them to my mother, aunt, and friend Ronnie that were there at the time. I held up the lace dress and said "This is who I want to be," and held up the orange one and said "And this is who I am." They all unanimously agreed that the orange one was the one I should go with. Zara orange cotton dress , handmade zipper belt, vintage heeled boots, vintage patterned scarf. Location: Beverly Hills

Sometimes I get in a mood where all I want to wear is soft dreamy cottons and creams and whites and chiffon layers like I am in some sort of fantasy fairy land film. I seem to feel like this every spring, as my mother points out. If I had the choice I would actually wear this type of clothing all the time, but I actually dont find enough of it in quality designs and fabrics. Sometimes you just get sick of the regular things you wear every day, you know? All this street style and fierce stuff... black and grey? Its getting a little boring. Then again, this is coming from the person who just bought Dr. Martens... I bought this beautiful leather bag in Palm Springs last spring, it has a bucks face embossed into it! Ive never seen anything like it. And the cat face ring from Verameat? Oh yea, that . I am in love! The detail is incredible. I now want the bulldog. Thank you dad! I bought the latest edition of POP Magazine with Elton John and fruit on the cover. The entire issue is l

The Coat

I bought this coat at a flea market several months ago and I have been waiting for the right time to wear it on the blog. It has the most beautiful silky lining and the outside? The buttons alone I could write a book on, or at least a very loving love letter to. The shortened bell sleeves are stunningly executed with green trim and the actual texture of the coat is wonderfully rough and keeps a person so warm. My gosh. My favorite nail polish right now, Essie in Lilacism! Pastels have been looking really good to me lately, which is odd, because I never used to. As my boyfriend has told me "Wow, you really like pastels." I seem to be wearing them too much. Look at the texture! The bracelet I am wearing is a gift from my friend and her mom as a late christmas present. I had admired her mom's bracelet last winter, and they decided to make me one. They collected a bunch of antique catholic charms from flea markets for several months and compiled it all onto one chain. I am
