A California Winter

As I returned back home for winter break I braced myself for the colder weeks I had originally anticipated to encounter upon my arrival. I packed numerous pairs of tights and denim jeans, but I have yet touched any of them since my time here.

It has been unusually warm even for Southern California. The past week I have experienced high 70s and low 80s -- not that I am complaining. So since the warmth is here to stay for a little while longer, I thought I would snap an outfit of the day before I headed out the door. 

 P.S. Yes, I realized I haven't really updated this blog in about a year, but I hope for that to change... hopefully.

For more details about my outfit, including what shoes I wore, check out the video on my Youtube channel! (Or on here I guess)

Shooting an Elephant

Hello m'lovely readers! Sorry, I haven't updated/posted in awhile. I guess you can say I have neglected this blog for far too long. First semester of senior year was so stressful and I barely found time to take a breather. I'll try my best to stay on top of updating this blog as much as possible and posting more videos on my Youtube channel. I thought I would do a picture diary of my nothing-too-eventful today. I was merely home, working on assignments, and doing laundry.

I got up later than usually because I completely disregarded my alarm. So I made a mango-peach-cranberry smoothie and munched on all the raisins in the trail mix bag.  

One of my sister's gifts to me was the collected works of E. Allan Poe. I love the vintage binding and the dark tone of the cover. I can't wait to go through the entire book!

 Next stop was laundry. Another addition of my sister's gifts was this Downy Un-Stoppable scent booster. I was raving to my sister how good this smelled so she decided to buy me one. I just took the load out of the dryer and it smells heavenly.

 For lunch my sister was munching on her version of a grilled cheese sandwich; she added pepperoni to it and it was actually quite delicious. 

Here I am again with my set up of the day. Just typing away on my laptop with my phone and iPod Touch at the ready. I am also reading George Orwell's Shooting an Elephant for my AP English class. It's pretty good so far. 

Sorry about this generic, boring update. Nothing to do with clothing or fashion or anything in between those lines. But regardless, I am still alive! I promise I'll be posting a lot more soon.

Dancing in the Moonlight

Hi there guys! APs are over! But finals are right around the corner.... I really need to make time to do more outfit updates....

Grabbed dinner with my family and I had pizza! It was so amazing, and I'm just drooling thinking about it.

Unattainable

Green Anorak (CHAPS), Textured Blouse (Mom's Closet), High-waisted Shorts (Thrifted), Beret (F21),  Shoes (Cotton On), Messenger Bag (U.O)

 Just a couple long over due snaps from a weekend outing. Pretty chilly that day with a strong breeze. Found this random alley way on the second story of this shopping plaza. 

Spring break passed by too quickly for my taste. It was nice and warm and now it's currently all gloomy and wet. -Le sigh-

Amongst The Flowers

Inspiration post! Although it was posted in September it reminds me of a dreamy, melancholy sort of spring. Me gusta! Oh, what I learn in Espanol clase! (Oooh la la) I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend - I know I don't want mine to end.... Monday is going to be so hectic. So many exams and quizzes.... Fun, fun, fun! Hopefully everyone will have a better than Monday than I. Happy Sunday!

P.S. You can find the rest of the pictures here.

Alleyways & Payphone Calls

I'm really digginn' this spring 2012 lookbook by Scout & Catalogue. It reminds me of how much I really love spring. Minus the part where pollen rapes my nostrils and I beginning sneezing like there's no tomorrow.... But speaking of which, I need to launch my own spring lookbook for my online shop Whimsical Youth! If you didn't already know I am starting up my own independent, online shop. I am hoping it'll launch around mid-spring. -fingers crossed- In the mean while go like us on facebook!

Style Muse: Liv Tyler

I'm currently obsessing over Liv Tyler. I mean she's drop dead gorgeous and her style (especially in the '90s) is pretty flippin' rad. I still remember her from Lord of the Rings. Haha. I can't believe Steve Tyler is her dad! It took me a while to become aware of that... Thanks American Idol....

Sorry for the Liv Tyler spam. I think I might do more of these "Style Muse" posts. Be on the look out for 'em.

Raindance

This is an outfit post for yesterday! (January 15th, 2012) I had a day out with my baby sis! The weather was really bi-polar... It was pretty gloomy when I woke up and during the car ride it started to rain then stop then pour then just stop again. So I had to add on layers to keep warm. Overall, I had a good time and ate so much! We had dim sum and went to random vendors to buy food and drinks afterwards. 

Maxi Dress // Salvation Army

Vintage Doney & Burke Sling Over // Flea Market

T-Strap Wedges // U.O.

Dim Sum! I haven't had this in the longest.

La-love her! Tastes like chicken.... Haha. I'll try to upload more pictures on my flickr!

Ringing In New Year With New Shoes!

Hi, there my lovelies! I noticed I've been pretty MIA, so for this new year one of my resolutions will have to be update this blog A LOT more. Its just that I run about three blogs on tumblr, and a youtube channel. And to top that off this is my junior year in high school so things have been pretty stressful lately. But I will try! So here is my first post of the New Year! I hope everyone had a nice time over the holidays. 

Soo, yesterday I went to Urban Outfitters and they were having a 50% off their sale items and I picked up these babies!

And you know what makes them even more awesome?! Well, the fact that they were only FIVE dollars. A pretty niffy way to start off this new year. Haha. 

Also, I recently went thrifting! So I'll be sure to post some pictures of what I got. Any ways, Happy New Year everyone!

WITHOUT YOU

Hi guys! Sorry for my lack of posting! Well, I have a new look up on look book so please go check it out & hype it if you guys like it. (Just click on the photo or here) I'll try to update this post and add more photos later but I'm not on the computer that I regularly blog with, hence no pictures on there. Any who, I hope everyone is having a lovely summer!

Top // F21
Bottom // Vintage Levi's High-waisted Shorts (Thrifted)
Shoes // GUESS? Combat Boots
Jewelry // Own & from cousin's jewelry box

The Cameras Are Talking

Hi there guys! I know I haven't had a real post in the longest but this hopefully this will slide. I had a mini-photo shoot with my sister recently and here are some of the snap shots. Apparently many of my friends claimed this to look very vintage-y... Maybe it is because of the film quality? More photoz can be viewed here.

Well, I hope everyone is having a lovely spring break! Mine has not been what I would call very productive but I am enjoying my time off all the stress. Too bad it is all going away next week when AP exams and state testing is the only thing on every single one of my teacher's mind. -sigh-

NOCHELLA

As many you of are probably aware of Coachella 2011 happened this past weekend. Too bad I couldn't go because of my a school trip that happened that same exact weekend and other set backs. So I was (again) surfing the web and Coachella never seems to fail music wise and of course fashion ("street style") as well. Here are some photographs I gathered of outfits that I really liked. It's not much hence this is I guess you could call it a quick post. Haha. Enjoy!
