leather patches and chiffon

i'm gaga over this louis de gama dress. remember this post from last summer? i'm wearing it tonight to a rehearsal dinner for a couple that met in middle school.

just wanted to share:)

gaga for neon

just got my "we love colors" package today and i am crazy for these neon and even white socks. the neon i will be pairing with neutral clothes and even pastel pinks. a peep toe wedge will show them off just right. the white pair i can't wait to wear with dresses and black wedges. eek!

i see you

you caught my eye this week.








masks from venice... box of beads.... sweet table... old family photograph... this week's sky.... party decorations... doub's details

the stables

going to the stables this sunday was a beautiful way to spend the day. horses are truly beautiful animals inside and out.

back from austin

i spent the week in austin, texas styling free people's july catalog. before i show you some behind the scenes i wanted to share my most favorite parts of sweet austin, texas...

number 1 is their plentiful vintage shopping!! i did some of my best vintage shopping there from feathers vintage to the little festival truck that was filled with the best, most inexpensive vintage of all. we went crazy dressing and undressing in that little truck, but the experience was most fun!






i forget where this was taken, but look at all those boots!


lucky us the sisters of the black moon took us shopping. these gals have the best style and are so, so sweet. rachel let me take tons of photos. i love her patch work jeans and all of those beautiful rings.





here are some of my austin finds... an embroidered mexican dress, wool navajo short sleeve cardigan, harley tee, velvet and fringe scarf, coral beaded necklace, indian bangles, levi's denim shorts, and black and white crochet shorts.


that's all for now. more favorites to come, but this couldn't wait. we went gaga over these girls and all the vintage we found!

resolutions

fingers crossed!

burgundy

lately i have been really obsessing over things i'm normally not into... crushed velvet, emerald green, and anything burgundy or remotely close! i just can't help myself lately.

i'm in love with this chiffon, ruffly dress by stolen girlfriends club (urban, can you hear me?)


and this mish mash, jewel-toned, vintage place setting by bleu bird is perfect.

bursts of color

i'm really into loud bursts of color right now. i'm drawn to it. i must have rio on my mind.

italian sodas


leighanne's crushed velvet dress from forever 21.

i heart LA

all the things i miss about l.a. and then some.

hollywood boulevard






yummy food





amazing vintage (picked up the most amazing jordache jeans at squaresville)


the most beautiful sunsets i ever did see


little tokyo and their homemade pastries




and pinkberry (oh my goodness)


just to name a few.

in plain view

one thing i am seriously loving right this second is the silky kimono. i love giving them a tougher look by pairing the patterned drapes with jeans and a rugged boot.


and these little beauties sitting by my desk. the helmut lang belongs to my boss while the other is mine... love,love,love.

crushed

loving my velvet leggings from bona drag.

catching up on some reading today

and reminiscing about what would have been vintage connection's 3 year anniversary... sigh.

happy weekend!

southwest

i spent the last few days in the beautiful southwest. here are photos from nevada, arizona and utah in no particular order.
