LILAC

Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, vintage cardigan & purse, Nastygal sunnies
I couldn't wait for spring to wear this Marc by Marc dress; the neckline reminds me of a chic spin on the plaid jumpers I'd wear in private school, and the floral print matches my MAC Playtime lipstick from the Quite Cute collection. The weather wasn't as enthusiastic as I, but when has that ever stopped me?

OFF DAY

Off day photo because of the beautiful weather and the cute little joint we lunched at in downtown Santa Ana. An old band tee and hair on top of hair piled on my head is characteristic of my lazy days.
Customers that recently purchased items should be receiving them in the next few days, if not already; moreover, my closet shop will be on hiatus until its re-opening this February. No fear, I will still be populating the page with updates and outfits.

VINTAGE DENIM & GUESS

Vintage denim button-up, vintage Guess tee, AA high waist jersey shorts, vintage backpage, We Who See tall fringe boot
New denim button-up just added to the shop. I paired this timeless go-to piece with a classic vintage Guess shirt (which is actually from my dad). Some of my favorite vintage is from my mother, but this is a first from my dad's! I'm such a closet lurker...

PS: I've been getting a little sick of seeing my name in all my online business endeavors (also the fact that its pronunciation is a bit ambiguous to the average reader), so I've got some big changes for my closet shop... stay tuned for a re-opening coming soon!

SCHIAP

Vintage Chanel-instpired button-up, AA thick knit skirt, Alex & Chloe for F21 triple cross necklace, gifted shoes, Schiap by NARS

Lots of new favorites are jammed into this ensemble: new favy product up on the closet shop, necklace I got for Christmas which is dark but not too (as a friend and I call it) "spooky," and the most perfectly matte hot pink lipstick by Nars. I loved it so much I had to purchase the matching nail polish too. Items labeled "try me" will be the death of me, or my pocket rather. I do try & then buy.

CHLOE

A major part of my winter break has been continuing to practice painting with watercolors. After pinching myself almost to the point of bleeding in order to prevent myself from purchasing Chloe flats for measly *ahem* $458, I projected my self discipline onto paper. I just added this to my online portfolio, following the portrait I painted of Nicki Minaj for a good friend.

I HEART THE 2000's

New American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Strapless Ruched Bodysuit


Minnie Mouse Luau Sweater
This weekend my Closet Shop is channeling the early 2000's, i.e. American Apparel bodysuits & lamé lingerie, acid wash, circle readers, and this Disney sweater--although it's more circa 1990's.

LAZY DAY

Vintage sheer lace dress, Alex & Chloe cross necklace, gifted heels
Just a handful of lazy weekend photos while playing on the iPad. This dress has become one of my favorite shop items, but I'll wait to post it until I get photos that do it more justice.

CLOSET SHOP @ SPACE15TWENTY

Topshop floral skater dress, Topshop Nude Sheer Jewel tights, Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats

This past Sunday I had the privilege of vending Hardcouture-hosted flea market at Space15Twenty in Hollywood. Sold a lot of vintage goodies for cheapz, got to hang out with my besties, and munched on delicious vegan pastries. As always, I loved meeting my readers in the flesh; don't ever hold back from saying hello!

For this specific event's setup, I drew inspiration from Tavi's article "How to Make Your Room Look Like a Book (or a movie)". My display represented most closely a cross between The Virgin Suicides x Picnic at Hanging Rock x Pretty in Pink. Essentially an eclectic combination of lace, pink plastic, shrine-like candle arrangements, vintage lingerie, and 90s jewelry reminiscent of "power beads."

The conclusion to the night was extremely random yet overwhelming; le boyy, and a friend, and I stopped by a another friend's event at the One Eyed Gypsy before dropping by Harvard and Stone to meet the Masterson brothers. I had to keep myself from singing... "Hanging out, down the street, the same old thing..."
