Sherlock Inspiration

Tweed overcoats, black scarves, wool vests, white button-ups, tailored separates, and that funny little hat...

I'm finally posting the inspiration board for Sherlock Holmes that I made weeks ago! This is everything Sherlock related. From the old classics to BBC's freaking genius rendition with Benedict Cumberbatch, (I love him), to Robert Downey Jr. & Jude Law in the most recent films, it's all here. I also included some stills of Rachel McAdams as Sherlock's great rival (and lover) Irene Adler. Even though I'm enjoying the manly/dapper vibe here, I marvel at her ability to switch from a blue stain ballgown to tweed mens chaps in one film and still look beautiful, feminine, lovely etc. etc. in all of it. I want my wardrobe to have that type of versatility while still maintaining a common thread. This idea is coming closer to fruition, especially considering that I just unwrapped a tweed blazer that arrived from the cleaners today. Slowly but surely my Holmes closet is pulling together.

Stay tuned for another post this weekend!

This adorable baby doll dress is unlike anything else in my closet. I'm not one for such large stripes and blatant colors but there's something about the viscose fabric and the way the material hangs across the body-- it's lovely. Also, these heels? A friend of a friend was emptying her closet and luckily these Dior cut-out oxfords soon became mine for a crazy good discount (along with a couple other pairs you'll definitely see soon). The details on them are incredible. By the way, how pretty is this courtyard my mom and I found in mid Hollywood? I love locations like this. Even though I've been working quite a lot lately, I've found some time to get outside and be with friends, spend time with Jonah and pursue hot yoga. While I am excited for college, I really want to embrace these next couple months and take advantage of all the rest/relaxation I can.

Orientation

USC's Orientation was a very busy two days. It was great to meet a couple of my future peers both in and out of the film school and get a feel for the campus/what it will be like staying in a dorm. Plus I got my schedule for first semester-- my first class is at 10 am. In other words,  I won't have to wake up at 6:45 any more! I am beyond thrilled. Here are some photos from the event: I bought this vintage blouse from a friend at school. It crazy 70s and therefore perfect. Jumping for (what else) joy outside the School of Cinematic Arts. My official home! The Gwynn Wilson Student Union building is probably one of the most beautiful structures on campus. Architecture like this makes me crazy. Many people don't equate that Ivy League/East Coast collegiate campus look with a school on the West Coast, but I beg to differ with a building like this one. Still so happy to know I'll be seeing Palm Trees on campus for the next four years. I wore these American Apparel JuJu jell

College Interviews!

I know I have been doing a lot of talking about high school, SATs, college etc. etc. without a lot of real life anecdotes- as opposed to vague allusions- to back anything up. Part of that's on purpose. I like to keep my personal life somewhat mysterious, and especially everything surrounding university/life beyond 14, 15, 16, 17. There are already enough kids applying as it is.    Anyway, a question I've seen a lot is what do you wear for a college interview? Having already been on 3 in the past two weeks, I now consider myself a seasoned veteran. I wore a variation of this outfit to all three interviews. By variation I mean: I bought two floral pants last spring, and I own two gray sleeveless blouses like this one here, and mixed them each time. The jewelry changed as well. Considering none of the schools I am applying to are fashion schools, I tried to tone down any sort of "ohmygod she's such a style blogger" feeling and just focus on keeping it classic,
