whether the weather.

old coat, yumi kim alyssa dress c/o & dolce vita talullah boots

this year i felt surfing through crowds and waiting in line for hours on zombie mode for black friday was not going to be worth it.  i was able to complete all of my holiday shopping each time i went but i forgot how it felt to just go home after thanksgiving dinner with my family and just go to bed.  i appreciated how i was able to just wake up and lay comfy and cozy on my couch with my laptop and shop from here.  and some online black friday sales last throught the weekend...no brainer!

currently i have been enjoying the nostalgia of the 90's from everything i've been into lately (fashion-wise).  i feel like it's almost too easy that it's borderline costumey.  you have to make sure to add a modern touch.  this floral print maxi dress from Yumi Kim paired with a wool coat is just that. 



2 birds, 1 stone.

vintage top similar here, zara shorts, shoes c/o dolce vita, loverboy bracelet c/o vanessa mooney get it here

typical monday for me.  grabbing groceries, running other errands and never ending chores at home.  feels good to fit something i think is fun somewhere in there.  kidnapped my little brother so we - okay,  i can kill two birds with one stone.  couple treats like hello panda and japanese soda makes it a little more enjoyable for him.  

these colorful sandals i received from dolce vita are perfect since lately my wardrobe can be super simple with these woven silk crew neck tees + shorts.      

last saturday.

vintage silk tee, dolce vita shorts, sam edelman sophie shoes

these were taken on saturday after a family celebration.  i want to reach for this silk tee every time i need to run out.  it easily goes with everything and the airy silk is so comfy and perfect for the warm weather.  this is definitely the best vintage find ever.  

breeze & warmth.

it was so warm but windy today.  just as soon you start feeling uncomfortable, the wind comes and cools you.  maybe that's just how i felt in this sweater with good sized holes.  it's perfect for me and my thing with wearing long sleeves with shorts.

cut it out.

cutout trim shorts c/o beginning boutique, zara top & dv jameson booties

i got these adorable shorts from beginning boutique about 2 months ago now?  can't believe it took me that long to wear them but for sure i'll be wearing them a lot as soon as the weather becomes stable.  right now i'm loving the simplest thin bangle with my watch as my everyday 'armcandy'.  i dream of this cartier...ughh...     

in the greenery.

zara sweater & shoes, dolce vita shorts, bcbg clutch

just frolicking in the garden by my place, you know, in silver heels.  this is what i wore for my hubby's surprise party i planned a couple weeks ago but instead of this sweater, i had on my cream zara boatneck plus my cream blazer.  it actually rained and that didn't stop me from wearing these shorts and heels.  i don't know if these are even considered heels but that's what i love about them; that they were silver and that i could run around in them.

  

striped & sweet.

how sweet is this dress?  the stripes, patch pockets and the shape of this dress make it the cutest thing ever.  i love it without the belt but i really couldn't resist the a-line shape it gives.  sweet silhouettes always make me happy :)

concrete garden.

whole outfit from zara, four strand bracelet c/o maya brenner, dolce vita shoes that i won(!), vintage clutch

such the perfect day to wear my favorite outfit of the moment.  everything that i'm loving that i will probably get myself tired of soon; floral blouses, open-knit sweaters and high waist a-line shorts.  i aimlessly drove around today and ended up at one of my favorite spots to shoot, these art studios in my town. the people that live there always welcome my brother and i.  and they always change up their alleys/yards/gardens/porches, so different scenery every time.

sweet.

for no particular reason i have never tried a 'mullet' or hi-low skirt until i was sent this pretty dress.  when i first put it on, i realized i've been missing out.  it's such a fun shape.  when the weather becomes warmer, i will show off its racer back straps and lace-up front.  but for now a nice comfy knit feels perfect over it, giving me a skirt in the meanwhile.  way too pretty and wispy, i needed to toughen it up with my ankle strap sandals.  now it's perfect.  ...off to ballet practice ;)
