Californication

Tee - Vintage / Jeans - c/o BCBG Generation / Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell x LF

Sunnies - Sabre / Bracelets & Rings - Brandy Melville

Marry me girl be the fairy to my world
Be my very won constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It?s Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it?s made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon?s not far away
It?s Californication

- Red Hot Chillipeppers

Pastels!!!

I can not get enough of them...

The light and airiness of the color is just so spot on for spring!

Pairing it with my cropped vintage California tee and my sky high platforms,

keeps my look fresh, fun and flirty!

I'm most definitely ready for a road trip in my outfit!


Oh and if you are an LA native come shop some of your favorite bloggers closets this Sunday!

Little Talks

Sweater - Love / Dress - Free People / Boots - JC / Jewelry - All Brandy Melville

I don't like walking around this old and empty house.
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear

The stairs creak as I sleep,
it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes

Some days I can't even dress myself.
It's killing me to see you this way.

'Cause though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

Hey! Hey! Hey!- Of Monsters & Men

So even though I was shooting all day

in the desert for Brandy Melville, I had time to slip away and shoot a little something in my outfit.

The scenery was just way to amazing to pass up!

And even though I just got back... I'm ready to go back and not just for Coachella!

I'm looking forward to less rain this week....

Howlin' For You Part 2

All (Girl) Clothing - Threadsence

Mockingbird
Can't you see
Little girl's
Got a hold on me

Like glue
Baby I'm howlin' for you

Throw the ball
To the stick
Swing and miss and a

Catcher's mitt
Strike two
Baby I'm howlin' for you

- The Black Keys

Now,

 I know a couple other bloggers have posted these pics from Threadsence's 

latest look book BUT...

since I was in the shoot I though I should share my favorite photos with you!

We had such great day and were able to see places I never knew existed,

which was pretty cool.

I had fun doing the shots with my bf where we running up and down the dirt path...

And the last shots in the truck are so much more then I expected.

When your in the shot sometimes you cant's see whats going on AND

even though I was freezing I think it most definitely worth the shot!

Hope you like!

Fashion

Dress - Blessed are the Meek / Shoes - Converse / Bracelets - Vanessa Mooney & Brandy Melville

Cocktail Ring - Samantha Wills

There's a brand new dance
but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
do again and again
It's big and it's bland
full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don't do it here

Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Turn to the right
Oooh, fashion!
We are the goon squad
and we're coming to town
Beep-beep
Beep-beep

- David Bowie

So Monday night as you know was the First LA Fall Fashion show put on by Directives West!

AND I was lucky enough to wear a piece from the Australian line

Blessed are the Meek which was one of my favorites of the show!

I love the leather accents on this body con dress and even though it was right up my alley I just had to add another personal touch so I opted to pair this hot number with my converse.

I mean why not?!

Howlin' For You

All Clothes - Threadsence

I must admit
I can't explain
Any of these thoughts racing
Through my brain

It's true
Baby I'm howlin' for you

There's something wrong
With this plot
The actors here
Have not got

A clue
Baby I'm howlin' for you

- The Black Keys

I'm so excited to debut the Threadsence lookbook today!

It was such a blast shooting in the desert especially since I had my bf with me

and doesn't he look like a natural in front of the camera....!

Hope you enjoy, I can't wait for summer and all the summertime activities!

Lisztomania

Sweater - Lamb and Flag / Skirt - LF Stores / Hat - Vintage / Boots - Alexander Wang

Purse - Cambridge Satchel Company / Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

So sentimental, not sentimental no
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling, I'm down and lonely when with the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do let, do

Let's go slowly discouraged
Distant from other interests on your favorite weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only that's with the fortunate only
No, I gotta be someone else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes

Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses

- Pheonix

With the weather this past weekend I was so excited to throw on this cute pleated mini skirt....

What I love about this skirt is that the polka dot print is not overly done which makes this print more of a staple print!

My orange cropped sweater plays down the girlyness just enough and finishing the look I chose to throw on my floppy hat and booties!

Happy Friday!

Smell Like Teen Spirit

Flannel - LF / Dress - Zoe tees / Boots - JC

Photographed by: Michelle Paulsen

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

- Nirvana

What can I say...?

I am a complete sucker for not only 90's music BUT also...

90's fashion.

Yet pairing it with a body con cut out dress and glitter boots does give it a modern twist!

Just a Girl

Top and Skirt - Fairground / Booties - Steve Madden

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little 'ol me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights

Oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear 

- No Doubt

I am soooo into matching separates right now.

They look fun and fresh and to me perfect for summer!

The silhouettes of these pieces are also what makes this outfit work, 

having them both fitted keeps the look young and not so stiff.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, the weather was insane!

I'm so ready for summer!!

Sex and Candy

Coat - Zara / Jeans - Pac Sun (similar here) / Blouse - H&M / Boots - Robert Clergerie

Hangin' round downtown by myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think
about myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly
I smell sex and
candy here
Who's that lounging
in my chair
Who's that casting
devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely
is a dream

- Marcy Playground

As we have been seeing leopard pants are all the rage!

What I love about them is that they are soooo versatile...

You can dress them down with a casual shoe or add a statement boot.

Either way the pants look killer!

I like the way the outfit looks the most when the jacket is buttoned up 

and just a bit of the leopard shows.

It makes the outfit look effortless and very rock n roll!

Pure Morning

Dress - LF Stores / Boots - Jeffrey Campbell / Purse - Brandy Melville 

 Ring & Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,

Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
- Placebo

I was so happy to see this dress at LF's major sale that is going on right now...
It is absolutely perfect for spring with the side cut outs, high low bottom and sheerness.
I though the Brit boot by JC was an absolute no brainer to play down the girlyness of the dress and
add some grit and toughness to it.
Plus it makes it extremely wearable for during the day.
This fringe purse from Brandy Melville also gives this outfit a summer touch with light color of the suede and fringe.

House of Cards

Top & Shorts - Naven / Jacket - Nasty Gal / Boots - Vintage / Bracelets - St Eve & Brandy Melville

Rings - Vanessa Mooney & Vintage

I don't wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under
Denial, denial

- Radiohead

I must say on my day to day outfits my color palette is pretty basic and consists of black and white....

Sheerness in clothes has always been something I love
I feel it creates a more effortless and whimsical feel...

This sheer top with the high waisted tap shorts create a classic outfit,

but with the vintage boots and the leather crop jacket make the look a bit more rock n roll...

Which is of course my style!

Turn the Page

Top - Evil Twin / Skirt - Dainty Hooligan / Boots - Threadsence / Cuffs - Derek Jaymes

On a long and lonesome highway 
East of Omaha 
You can listen to the engine 
Moanin' out his one note song 
You can think about the woman 
Or the girl you knew the night before 
But your thoughts will soon be wandering 
The way they always do 
When you're ridin' sixteen hours 
And there's nothin' much to do 
And you don't feel much like ridin', 
You just wish the trip was through 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 

- Bob Seger

The high low dress/skirt has been quite the rage....

and Dainty Hooligan is on top it!

I love how DH turned this vintage ordinary skirt into a current must have piece.

Evil Twin has been one of those lines that I always keep my eye on... This black bustier top is so versatile and is one of those pieces I know that I will gravitate too, whether its for a layering piece or on it's own!

Have a good weekend!

Waiting For The Sun

Top & Bracelets - Brandy Melville / Pants - Mink Pink / Necklace - St. Eve 

Can you feel it 
Now that Spring has come 
That it's time to live in the scattered sun 

Waiting for the sun 
Waiting for the sun 
Waiting for the sun. 
Waiting for the sun 
Waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting, waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting 

Waiting for you to come along 
Waiting for you to hear my song 
Waiting for you to come along 
Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong 

- The Doors

I love these pants!

Mink Pink was right on a point with this silhouette (as they have been lately) ...

The pants are light, breezy and will be perfect for spring/summer.

You can easily pair them with any crop top or for a more casual look...

 top them off with a rocker/graphic print tee!
