This baby is back but selling out quickly as ever. Thanks to the lovely ladies, Lindsay and Melissa over at Akira Chicago for the heads up and giving me a call. I can't wait to rock them! You girls are fantastic!

Holy batman, these look like they can cut and and fly. New favorite pumps.

It may be getting really hot to the point of wearing nothing but a bathing suit and hitting the beaches - meaning no jeans, leather, long sleeves and wool, but I love the latest looks shopbop has pulled together. This clearly represents the style I'm going for this summer. Mixing silver and gold hardware with sheer blouses and the color BLACK incorporated in every style. Though I'm very fond of dark brown and anything wood currently.

It could easily be achieved with what I have in my closet right now which is perfect since I'm trying to put my money in things other than fashion at this point. My bike is currently in the hands of skilled bike lovers that can restore vintage bikes in Culver City. I'll be posting photos of my handsome Raleigh in 2 weeks! I can't wait to start riding again, its been toooo long. I'm also sad that I wasn't able to enter the Topshop contest over at Chictopia due to having my bike restored, painted, and modded. At least my bike will be worth the pictures soon.

I need these from Fendi

Other news, I sold my laptop to my roommate so I can get the 5d mkII. yay! Another thing I miss doing - photography. I'm not going to be handicap no more! Wait till I get my hands on the new camera, I'll be shooting for a variety of things. Maybe to further fund this investment, I should sell some items in my closet that I don't wear anymore...vintage from 50s-80s, Marc by Marc Jacobs, anthropologie, shoes, h&m/f21/zara...don't know if anyone would be interested in my closet? I guess we'll see.

I sort of altered this shirt. Bought it over a year ago and haven't worn it more than once. Mostly because there were these smock details on the side and puff sleeves that I hated. Whenever I wore it, the top would rise up when I lift my arm. So I took the seam ripper and got rid of both. Cuffed the sleeves and felt good about the way it turned out. May sew the sleeves to stay in that form so it wouldn't roll down like the photos below. I was very much inspired by the idea of mixing patterns this summer. Though it was pretty hot to be wearing jeans, I got these 2 weeks ago and haven't made a post about it. I think they're bad ass.

most of my pics look like this. half opened eyes, closed eyes, or not photo ready. i think its hilarious.

For the amount of food photos I put here, I think I should start a separate food blog. We went to the groceries to buy items for a picnic at the beach, but woke up a little too late after a night of my roommates birthday celebration and decided to have a little courtyard fun. We went and bought 2 variety of sausages: chicken & apple and jalapeno & chicken. Others on the skewers were whole mushrooms, cucumber, pineapple and shrimp. It was yummy. Of course, this wasn't enough for the 2 of us..we also had salad from Chipotle.

Resort doesn't have to be boring according to Balenciaga. I'm loving the play on shapes, textures, and volume. Wouldn't it be nice that our skirts stay in that shape all day long? No need to adjust and fluff. The criss-cross color block heels look great too.
