Tank & Shorts: Long Beach Boutique - Shoes: Bamboo - Cardigan: Thrifted
Totally obsessed with the pajama-like shorts as outside wear. I finally track down a pair I liked that did was border line sleepwear and summer essential. Quick questions... whats up with me and people's porches lately? Ehhh, either way it looks cool and stumbling upon different architecture is always fun!
FYI I've been a busy busy girl with work and resting. Trying to adjust and work on getting my energy back so that I can blog and film on a whim like I use to. It's a balance. Call it teetering if you well. Going to be at Beautycon on Saturday so lots of shots from that event will follow.

Dress: Foreign Exchance - Sandals: Bamboo - Cardigan: Thrifted
The title of this post is the only way to explain the singular photo. It's a lone survivor if you will. Any who, I'm writing you from my bed with the enthusiasm of a thousand fan girls because tomorrow night I'm going to see my King. This time 24 hours from now I will be at the On The Run Tour.
I'm trying to find the right way to express my excitement. Let's just say that the only thing that matters at this moment is Beyonce (& what I am to wear). Did I mention this will be my first concert ever! I know, I know... you're probably cringing. I'm 23 and have yet to experience one of the important rights of passage of youth. It's sad, yes but I'm more that happy to give my musical event virginity to B.
I let you all know how it goes. More photographs to follow....because anything quantity of pictures would be MORE that this post provided.

SUMMER GOLD

1. Postive/ Visual Motivation: As corny as it sounds, I love a good quote. They are even better when they are visually pleasing . I keep a bunch of quotes photos in rotation as screen screensavors for all of my devices.
2. Ankle Bracelet: Summer means shorts short and flip-flops which means more leg and that gives me the perfect opportunity to wear my ankle bracelet. I bought this one weeks back anticipating the summer.
3. Flower (by Drew Barrymore) Bronzer: I've found the perfect bronzer to go along with my dewy look I'm really into this summer. They have the cutest name...highlighter chubby!
4. Gold Watch: To be honest this is my favorite peice of jewelery all year around.
5. Bright Lip: I love a vibrant color. Pink, Orange, and Purple definite must haves.
6. Footwork: These are perfect with their golden tips and white color. Gonna be a good summer shoe!

Pants: See You Monday - Cardigan: Thrifted - Sandals: Charlotte Russe
I've been waiting for months for summer. I've been waiting even longer to wear these See You Monday pants. They have been in my closet since last summer and have yet to see the light of day. The timing couldn't be better because palm trees are super in (honestly tried to find a way to not sound like an air head). I was especially inspired by Yara over at Chapter Friday to break these babies out. I'm defintiely going to add a few more plant related prints to my wardrobe ASAP.
Yesterday was the first day of summer - the summer solstice - and I celebrated with family. There was loads of BBQ, sun and poolside play (in my case a light dipping of feet). I got see people I haven't seen in the longest time and it was nice. I wish I had gotten photos but I was enjoying myself. All I can say after the lovely day I had was that I'm ready for summer! So expect frequent blog updates tons of looks.*promise*

Jumpsuit: Vintage - Sandals: Sheikh - Choker: Styles - Watch: Gifted - Bracelet: Swell Caroline
I has been blazing here in Southern California so what better way to keep cool then to wear your clothing half way on your person. It probably doesn't help that I was in all black.
FYI: As much as I have been loving the cropped looks lately it not al so glam and bad assery. Trust me I takes about 100 plus photos to just to get 7-10 good ones. I wish I could share the first few awkward photos of me as I'm getting comfortable with the camera. Let's just say i've got a lot more toning and some posing lesson before i'm on a Naomi level. (If by some weird order events Ms. Campbell finds her way to my blog... please don't read me for the foreshadowing comparison)

It's only March but I think I've found my uniform for summer. I was leaving the house today and these jeans stood out to me. They remind of a pair of ragged jeans I had in the 5th grade. It took me a long time to get the ends ripped and frayed just right and I loved them. They didn't last long though because my mom threw them away and replaced them with a new pair. I can't even begin to tell you how mad I was. Luckily for both of us, that was probably the biggest tantrum I had as a preteen.
So until summer comes I think I'll be wearing my jeans out and toning up my stomach. But ya know LA is always warm so I don't have much time!

Shoes: Sheik
I have been eye the taller version of the strappy black shoes I already owned. And I debated purchasing a pair so close to the fall season. But an interview emergency gave me the excuse to scoop these puppies up. The thick ankle strap and line foot strap is just what I was looking for as there are a ton of version of black and strappy. Be prepared for post revolving around my new loves!
p.s. more things in tomorrow's post ;)

Top: XXI - Jeans: Gap - Shoes: Downtown LA
This is my attempt and monochromatic happiness. Its something I dream about achieving just about every day. The vibe is always so crisp and clean and since I'm not drawn to fussy colors it should be pretty easy. I think the thing standing in my way is my need to mix things up. So in my case the mono in monochromatic turns into a duo or quartet.

Top: Unknown - Sweats & Sandals: XXI -Necklace: Gifted
Prior to this post no one has actually known about the tattoo in the third photo. I've had it for almost two years now. It's the Roman numerals for my mother's birth month and day. Its not the biggest or toughest of body ink but it did hurt like I image my dream arm sleeve would. The guy who did is a big guy and has tons of tattoo. And when I brought this in to him he said he never would get anything on his ribs. This both made me fell a bit badass and scared the living shit out of me. And he was right because as I said before it hurt really bad. But i'm proud of myself and can't wait until my next shop visit. Ink is highly addictive.
p.s. you can't image how many tries it took for the tattoo and walking shots...
