NATIVES

Acne Shining button-down, vintage cardigan, vintage silk shorts (for sale), ecote wooden platforms, MAC lipstick in Play Time

Shop JoellenLoves Closet Shop

Last week Caylen and I shopped around a little before eating at Native Foods, a vegan restaurant. I've heard mixed reviews about the place, mostly that it's overpriced, but I'm just happy I got full from the $13 salad that we split. I may be biased, but so far The Loving Hut has been untouchable. Afterward, I visited her two week-old kittens! Adorbz.

VTG

Vintage denim button-up, vintage dress (for sale), vintage Chanel boots, vintage sunglasses

Putting up one of my favorite dresses on sale on the shop! I'm too lazy to check the label right now, but the material that this is made out of is amazing! It's similar to American Apparel's poplin, but it's more sturdy and structured. It's really breezy and perfect for the warm weather coming! I love the pleats in the skirt and the top button is finished with gold trim. I wore this with my Chanel boots in the beginning of the day, but it got so warm that I changed into my ratty old flats for the remainder... but then it started to rain?? That's CA weather for you! Anywho, loaded up on fatty sugars from Starbucks. The drink was pretty, but didn't taste so good, and the pastries were mediocre. Whatever! Wasn't expecting much anywho.

35MM FILM

For all those tumblr questions I get asked about my diet, here's your answer...










Took these with a vintage Olympus Infinity Stylus camera with 200 ISO 35mm film. Wanted to shoot one last roll before selling this baby (so keep your eye out)! I've got way too many cameras...

QUITE CUTE

YSL cosmetic bag/clutch, CHANEL Lait Confort Cleansing Milk, MAC lipstick in Play Time & Plushglass in I ♥ U

My cure for PMS? Shopping, of course! While feeling bummed and moody on the way home from work, I remembered MAC's limited edition collection Quite Cute had just been released so I stopped by my local Nordstrom's and picked up my fix. I expressed my anticipation here in a previous post, however the shade Quite Cute turned out to be well, quite disappointing. The whitened lavender was just too white, but thankfully I picked up Play Time, which I absolutely love! Turns out it's now sold out too. Score! I'll be posting it in all it's Barbie violet glory in the next entry when my new laptop battery comes in the mail; blogging outfits in the middle of my living room is as awkward as it sounds. I also picked up Chanel's Lait Confort cleansing milk, which is worth every penny! I love that no water is needed, so I can bring it around wherever I go. And for lack of better words, it smells so fcking good. + my YSL goodie mentioned in the previous post!

Lastly, a mini (MAC) snack for your eyes. Photos aren't allowed, but when has that stopped me?

COACHELLA VOMIT MONTAGE

It's been a while, but I metaphorically dusted off the old Windows Movie Maker and made this half-assed random montage of Coachella clips. I forgot how much fun it is! This is just a fraction of the footage because the camera was acting up so we used the boy's Flip camera, like in this video of our campsite arrival. I'll be making more random ones since I purchased a new Nikon point-and-shoot which I bought mainly for recording, and so I don't need to worry about/lug around my SLR for simple occasions. Okay enough blab, watch!

Performances are Beardyman, Two Door Cinema Club, Bright Eyes, and Interpol, respectively.

COACHELLA VOL 3

Vintage lace leotard, American Apparel side zipper shorts, Ecote wooden platforms, American Apparel floppy hat

Sunday was the last day of Coachella, and Monday was basically pack & up day. We left these the in the ground because... well I guess because it looked cool, haha. After making breakfast with the boy, we were on our way back to Orange County. On the way home he noticed that I spotted a YSL boutique and he pulled over so we could check it out without me even having to ask. #Thatslove. Pardon my twitter lingo. So excited for my goodies that I'll share with you later!

Have a great weekend

COACHELLA: VOL 2

Acne Shining Button Down, American Apparel high waist swim brief, American Apparel floppy hat, Deena & Ozzy boots, Nasty Gal two-tone circle shades

Saturday and Sunday were my two favorite days; Bright Eyes and Animal Collective are two of my favorite bands and I was so excited to see both in one day. I had seen all of the set list that Bright Eyes played when I saw them two days before in Pomona, but I still soaked every song in while babysitting Chris, passed out on my blanket. I found it amusing that I was the only one around me who sang along to more than Lover I Don't Have to Love. Animal Collective only played one of the five songs I crossed my fingers for, but it's my favorite of all time so I was more than content.

Outfit-wise, bringing my super light-weight silk Acne blouse along to throw over a swim top and high waist swim briefs was genius in theory, but I couldn't justify the risk of getting grass stains or ahem, whiskey stains all over it. However, just as I suspected, my trusty wool floppy hat was my staple for the weekend.

My camera battery died during Mumford and Sons while waiting for Animal Collective. Now that I think about it, I was saying Sons of Mumford all weekend... why did no one correct me?
