What I’m WearingView More

Hey everyone, sorry for the sporadic blogging lately! I’m still getting settled in California…
looking for a job, furniture, and all that good stuff. Does anyone else have this feeling when
they move to a new area that their wardrobe becomes irrelevant? Like all of a sudden nothing
looks right? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately with the exception of these sandals though
because I’ve been wearing them all the time. Oh well, maybe I’m also trying to find an
excuse to shop (highly likely).

Wearing ASOS denim jacket, JCrew shirt, Fidelity jeans, Loeffler Randall sandals,
& Karen Walker sunnies…

Block Shop TextilesView More

Oh the magic of Instagram! I discovered Block Shop a couple days ago, and their scarves have the
exact type of print I’m always in search for (clean and graphic). Everything’s made through a process
of hand block printing in India, and although most of these scarves are sold out at the moment,
keep an eye out on Block Shop. They’re just too good to pass by, and hopefully,
they’ll start a clothing line…

Julia Sarr-Jamois, Why You So Perfect?View More

Ugh, isn’t her perfection slightly annoying? And she doesn’t do anything to make her hair look that way?
Come onnnnnn. I still love you Julia.

I Bought These…View More

If gladiators go out of style (maybe they are already), I don’t care. I love ‘em.
I don’t know why I feel a sense of accomplishment with these sandals,
but after stalking Loeffler Randall’s site for a few weeks even though
they were sold out, one pair in my size just magically appeared.
Fist pump. I found a few more pairs floating around
here, here, and here…

Sh*t I’d Like to WearView More

Just a little humor there in the title…Is it just me or are the end of the season sales this time around
really spot on? Usually if I create outfit collages, I get so fixated on finishing them that it keeps me
from purchasing anything, but the sales going on right now are really hard to resist.

On another note, I finally moved to California (hence the lack of blog posts)! Forty one hours of
driving with your boyfriend and a Great Dane can be somewhat stressful, uh I mean wonderful :),
so it was very hard to do anything for the blog. I’m really excited to finally be here, but it still
feels surreal, which I guess it should be after only 24 hours right? All in all, I’m excited to
snap a lot of street style in the Bay area so if you know anyone who’s interested in being
on the blog, let me know!

Okay back to the outfits!

Sh*t Bloggers WearView More

I first heard about Shit Bloggers Wear from Erica when she tweeted her less than impressed feelings
about the new tumblr. I see where she’s coming from, being tired of all the negative generalizations
and stereotypes made about bloggers. I, on the other hand, had a very different reaction because I
thought SBW was really awesome. It made me laugh out loud, and as I scrolled down and saw some
illustrations of items hanging out in my closet, I felt busted (which made me laugh even harder).
It’s kind of a double-edged sword for me because I am inspired by other bloggers, and sometimes
seeing an item worn over and over again can influence my interest in it (ex- Balenciaga Derby boots).
But in the same breath, I’m really tired of seeing bloggers wear the same thing. Really tired. Nowadays,
I try to stay away from buying things that may blow up in the blogosphere because our devouring
of all things fashionable at that moment is just fleeting by so fast. Items become obsolete within
weeks (hello YSL arty ring, Zara leopard sandals, Isabel Marant numbered tees). It feels a lot like
empty advertising, and I’m tired of getting caught up in it. Now getting caught up in my own
~~obsession~~ delight in shopping is another thing, but let’s not delve into that one. Anyways,
that’s my two cents. Keep on keepin’ on Shit Bloggers Wear…maybe it’ll make some of
us think twice about that next blogger outfit.
