tech and fashion

I wore this to go to the Museum of Modern Art on Saturday. This dress is another gift from my aunt, its from the 1920's or 30's. I had one of those funny experiences when a family member surprises you with what they say. My aunt had told me about some dress she has that is very "Philip Lim" but vintage. I didn't believe her when she told me this, about the Philip Lim part I mean, partly because I didn't know Philip Lim had that much of a distinct style and partly because I guess I had no faith in my aunt. Well I was proved wrong, extremely wrong. When she gave it to me I saw that she was completely right, it reminds me of something Philip Lim would do. I ended up wearing these wedges 4 out of the 5 days I spent in the city. They are so comfortable. Vintage beaded 20's/30's dress, Jeffrey Campbell Alexa wedges, Levi's denim jacket, Marc by Marc Jacobs studded bucket bag, Mr. Kate spork necklace , The Stylish Wanderer x Mr. Kate bow ring .

I know the subject of airplane dressing is always big. What do you wear when youre crammed into a tiny area with people all around you for 5+ hours? I believe in the idea of dressing up for the plane, or at least in the idea of leaving your sweatpants at home. Flying used to be a bigger deal, it used to be a luxury, exciting. Now I feel like many take it for granted. Id like to take it back to that time when all the stewardesses were young and super excited to work on a plane, with their hats and matching outfits, and the travelers were equally as excited, so much so that they dressed up. Not when the flight attendants are rude to you if you ask them to throw away your coffee cup, and the passengers prefer ratty tshirts to button ups. Thats just me though... Here is what I wore! H&M black jacket, JBrand jeans, vintage boots, California Select cropped sweater, Marc by Marc Jacobs studded leather and tote bags.

Gap silver button up, Jeffrey Campbell shoes (closeup soon!), grey knit shorts, American Apparel jeans. Another quick post amidst packing for Manhattan and some last minute shopping and rehearsal for a scene I'm doing in a festival in a couple weeks. These are photos from a couple weeks ago, just meant to liven up this post. I've always been fascinated with how you can change an outfit just by changing one thing in it, in this case the grey knit shorts to the American Apparel jeans- side note: AA is making jeans now! COACHELLA WAS BEAUTIFUL. Exactly what I needed. Im still dealing with some leftover emotions from the breakup, but I just have to remember that we were complete opposites and I need to focus on things that really matter to me. I will post photos as soon as they are developed and I come back from NY. Highlights of Coachella: seeing everyone I know in one place dancing The Aquabats Kanye MUMFORD AND SONS

Quick post since I haven't packed yet and I leave in less than 2 hours, but I was just checking in to say that I am off to Coachella! I can not be more psyched, this is exactly what I need to have fun and get my mind off things, and not to mention gain some perspective. When I get back Monday morning, I leave the next day for New York with my dad, which means only one thing: get ready for a lot of photos! xox

   Three weeks ago I was approached by Carmen Chan from How I Met Your Style to do a shoot at my house showcasing my closet/room/jewelry/piano/cats and everything else that's part of my life, apart from clothes. The next week we got together and shot these photos!  How I Met Your Style is simultaneously a personal and interior style website showcasing your favorite bloggers' houses and lives photographed by Carmen and her friend/photography mentor Ken Wu. I am actually really excited about this, and am looking forward to see how this site progresses. I see great things ahead; the photos are beautiful! Carmen used a mixture of 95% film photo, only a select few she shot digitally. This is the kind of old school stuff that I love! Carmen was so lovely, and I am so sad she's leaving LA! Good luck and thanks Carmen!   View more photos, plus the interview I did, on HIMYS here .

Chandeliers, sweaters, bodycon dresses, chakras, crushed velvet, interiors, vintage cars, black&white photos, men in all white. I'm feelin' all this. The breakup was probably the best thing to happen to me as of late, things are improving exponentially, I had a great weekend with friends. I've got a bunch of exciting things prepared for the blog!  (photo credits: unknown, mandycoon, studiototal sweden )
