Keepin' it casual in oh so comfy black leggings. Love how they're thick enough to be equivalent to skinny jeans, but only when paired with the right pieces, of course. This usually being a looser top. I drape or tuck in the back hem then pull it out a bit. It really helps to avoid the appearance of workout pants.

Outfit 1: Aritzia cable knit cardigan, Matthew Williamson for H&M scarf, Gap Tee, American Apparel belt, Silence and Noise via Urban Outfitters jeggings, vintage boots, Reiss bag with attached Marc by Marc Jacobs heart wristlet, Links of London bracelet

 Outfit 2: Brenna Marie turban via Etsy, Lucky bracelet, Forever 21 Keith Haring printed tank

These last few weeks of work have been quite a blur which may explain my choice of dress lately. I look like a cross between a careless slob and a colorful mess. Sometimes wearing a bunch of color gives me flashbacks of my shameful Lisa Frank obsession in the 2nd grade. Can't decide whether I love or hate the outfits all together, but I'll leave the judgment up to you guys.

Lykke li -Little bit (panue' remix) by Monsieur Panue'

Now that I'm able to relax a bit, I'm focusing on cleansing myself physically, mentally, and musically. Finally, my diet is starting to get back on track. Leisure reading and playing smooth summer songs instill so much calmness in me, something very much needed. So happy to be doing my me things once again.

Currently combing the internet for summer hair ideas. Voluminous soft waves, sleek and shiny strands, messy braids and up do's.
I want hair that looks effortless.

Aritzia cable knit cardigan, American Apparel tank, Seven for all Mankind jeans, Quilted bag from random Hawaiian vendor, Raybans, Forever21 boots, Michael Kors watch

Feeling very MKA Olsen inspired here. Nothing better than looking completely and utterly relaxed after a long work week. I picked up this qulited bag from a shop called Pineapple Country around the Waikiki strip months back. The embroidery, colorful swatches and mumble jumble of it all has got to be one of my best finds ever.

Live Style Series

Pin It
Hey guys! I've been invited by Thread + Sffama along with 4 other bloggers for a live style series competition tomorrow, Sunday, April 10th from 12-3:30pm. It'll be at the Metreon, 101 4th Street in the City View Room on the 4th floor

From a random closet, we'll be speed styling 6 outfits, each under 30 minutes which will then be showcased to the audience. They will then vote on Twitter for the best look!  I still have a couple complimentary passes to spare, so comment or email me!
If you're in San Francisco, stop by for all the fun! 

See you there!

 kensie knit, gap tee, decades denim ox blood jeans, reiss bag, vintage boots, fossil necklace, 
j.crew stone bracelet

 I've had this Kensie knit for years. Its versatility has kept me warm through the winter, breathable enough for spring and worn for every occasion down to a robe. If you've noticed at all, I'm not very good at shoe rotation. When I get comfy in a pair, I stick to them for weeks at a time. These go with everything, which I do keep in mind when shopping to get the most bang out of my buck.

The best time to take pics is at dusk. The glow and brisk air really set the mood.
I had a great weekend. Hope you all did too!
