hi guys! it’s been quite awhile since i’ve updated, but things are well and changing. i was working quite a bit and took on an internship that then developed into a new job! it’s quite exciting to start something new & figure things out. new is always good. in the meantime, i’ve been exploring new places (coffee shops, yep i can’t resist them!) & eating brilliant things. for now i leave you with shots from dripp in chino hills. this place is quite glorious, really. i mean, look at this place! i wish this wasn’t so far from me, i swear i would be here every single day. they have superb coffee and the staff is super nice (plus if you know what bruxies is you’ll know why this is an added plus near dripp) enjoy!

so this suit & tie thing has gone to my head.. (thanks justin!) i have this striking urge to wear skinny & bow ties, white crisp shirts, & watch annie hall. i wouldn’t mind trying this androgynous look, packed with a punch of red lip color…how about you?

v-day love…

i can’t help it, i love valentine’s day (the stuff, not the pressure!) & all the copious amounts of pink & red everywhere. pinterest is a dream right now & these are some of my favorites. scanning through these pins are inspiring & perhaps these colors just help lighten up my mood!

hope everyone’s year is off to a great and positive start! i can’t wait to dive into new projects & plan much needed vacations…xx

today after visiting madewell at the americana, i can’t help but lust over these perfect shirts! they are so clean and would be great additions to any spring wardrobe, preferably mine! i have decided to challenge myself this year & purchase only things with “classic” appeal. no trendy stuff is going to sit in my closet anymore, year after year & wait for the great toss-out to goodwill. it stops now. what are some of your fashion goals this year? let’s hear ’em…

i can’t escape that i adore black & that half of my closet is total darkness. it always feels right; chic, slimming, easy, sophisticated, & cool. i don’t mess with a good thing. i can’t even explain my fixation with porcelain black’s (singer, artist, & now designer) studded bucket bag from her new line noir by porcelain black. it’s the one thing i’ve been looking to add to my wishlist & it’s beyond affordable! and if someone could just gift those acne boots under my well lit tree, i’d just dieeee. hello christmas gift to me? yup…
