wren summer 2012

I was flipping through last month's issue of Lucky Magazine and found Wren's Ikat Shirtdress which I apparently can't find on the site anymore. Bummer, apparently it was 50% off with a code too. Lookbooks like Wren's Summer 2012 one make me seriously consider moving somewhere with a real summer until I realize I don't actually like anything about 85 degrees. The grass is always greener on the other side, I suppose. But seriously though, how sick is that ikat print? Can someone please make a bedspread out of that?

bright red

Whyred blazer, Stylemint Prince tee, jeans c/o iTEM denim, Romeo Satchel c/o Rebecca Minkoff, Michael Kors watch c/o Watches on Net, Karen Walker sunglasses, Acne Pistol Boots

Shot these photos a few days ago before going into the Metreon to watch Prometheus again. I had actually been wearing another coat but scored this Whyred blazer on sale at Urban Outfitters of all places! I'm getting used to wearing a watch again, it's been a while. I'm trying to step up my accessory game, hah. Don't know if I'll start stacking bracelets and get into the whole arm party thing but an oversized watch seems like a good start. Also thanks to Rebecca Minkoff for the awesome bag, feels nice to finally be using an actual bag that isn't a backpack or tote. Baby's growing up?

ps, if you're in New York visit Everlane's Not a Shop!

weekend wear

Lifetime cropped tee c/o Shop Koshka, vintage Jordache skirt, Comme des Garcons Converse sneakers, vintage sunglasses

Snapped some quick photos outside of my apartment. I wish it were warm enough to wear this cropped top with high waisted shorts! The weather on the day of the summer solstice was alright but not ideal. I think it's time to get out of the city for a bit. Sorry about the brevity of this post, longer one coming up tomorrow!

foie-ther's day x kanon vodka

I'm sure a lot of you who follow me on Instagram/Twitter/Tumblr have already seen these photos from the Foie-ther's Day Dinner with Stag Dining and Kanon Vodka (sorry about the pic spam guys!) but I thought I'd still share them here since I am now officially a FOK! Stay tuned for more posts and collaborations, I'm super excited. I've been hanging out with my Kanon buddies whenever they're in town since their first SF launch dinner and I'm stoked to start contributing to their blog. Read my post about the dinner here.

blue jeans

Everlane mens tee, Skinny Slouch jeans c/o !iTEM Denim, Rachel Comey Miner boots, vintage sunglasses and cuffs

Quick post before I fly down to LA since I won't have a camera down there. Nothing special, just a plain white tee and my new light blue jeans from !iTEM. I don't know if I'll ever be able to pull off baggy boyfriend jeans but this pair is a good mix between that and skinny jeans.

Also came up with the winner of last week's contest with Beso! I had fun looking through all of your collections and ended up having to use a random number generator since they were all so good!

And the winner is... Hannah with her New York Summer set! If you see this, email me and I'll forward you to Beso so you can claim your prize. Thanks to everyone who entered, hopefully I'll be able to offer more giveaways soon!

Went to the Ferry Building to grab burgers at Gott's and shoot by the water. We narrowly avoided losing the sunlight as the fog rolled in, half of the photos we took were of me squirming in the wind with my hair and dress blowing everywhere! Didn't end up going to Russian River, unfortunately. I guess I'll have to wait until I fly down to LA this weekend to enjoy warmer weather. I'm going to a few graduations down south and can't figure out if that warrants shopping for new dresses or if I feel I need that retail therapy because I'm feeling a little down due to June Gloom. Either way, I shouldn't shop until I clear out a good amount of my closet so help me out?

Oh, I'm wearing NARS Heat Wave lipstick for anyone who's curious. Should I post a makeup tutorial one of these days? Maybe, we'll see!

p.s. I'm on Google+!
