RESOLVE

2012-01-03T10:10:00.000-08:00

The view from a crêperie somewhere in Switzerland (or maybe France?).Happy 2012! Time for new beginnings and all that jazz. I'm keeping my resolutions simple this year:-Create, read and care more-Be good to myself and others

KAUAI BY CELL PHONE

2011-12-23T15:52:00.000-08:00

Spent a week after finals visiting my parents in Lihue. Beautiful scenery, disgusting bug bites, quiet beaches, monster avocados, and lots of laying around. I always look back on my visits with more fondness than they probably merit but it is nice to get away once in a while.

French and Swiss kitties from my trip to Europe in September.Has it really been two months since my last post? This year has been flying by and it's a little frightening. I must be getting older. Remember when you were a kid and waiting a week for something felt like an eternity?

FATIGUE

2011-09-18T18:17:00.000-07:00

Back home after 3 solid weeks of travel. Jet lag is a bitch. Decided to get out of my jeans and t-shirt rut and ended up in a baseball jersey with 'AWESOME!' printed on the front and a Comme des Garçons skirt. Not sure how that happened but I'm into it. Spent this afternoon coloring and crawling around the floor pretending to be a cat with a friend's children. Actually most of the time was spent

MODERNE

La Garçonne's in-house line, La Garçonne Moderne is precisely what I want to wear these days. Simplicity done right.

SUMMER BUMMER

2011-08-21T17:21:00.000-07:00

1 & 2. Vegetable garden progress. I'm now growing cucumbers, basil, kale, strawberries, lettuce, mustard greens, cilantro and tomatoes. Even though I'm pretty much over eating salads at this point, my little garden still makes me so happy and weirdly proud. The two avocado pits that I've had sitting in water for what feels like months are sprouting too! 3. Experimenting with rudimentary

TIE DIY

Experimenting with different tie dye techniques.

MENSWEAR AND SCISSORS

2011-07-30T13:39:00.000-07:00

Took my scissors to a hand-me-down dress shirt and pair of pants from my dad. Being impulsive with a pair of scissors has ruined more than a few things in my closet before but I can't help it, I love a raw, fraying edge and every once in a while it turns out all right.

HERMES OF VERSES

2011-07-24T08:38:00.000-07:00

Wearing a Gap denim jacket, thrifted army t-shirt, complexgeometries shorts, Ariana Bohling sandals from Domahoka.Silk shorts are the way to go this summer. Elastic waistbands preferred.

Wearing an old t-shirt, Zana Bayne harness, thrifted skirt and Opening Ceremony sandals.

MONOCHROME

2011-06-27T07:55:00.000-07:00

I'm wearing an old, no-brand t-shirt, my dad's pants cut into shorts and Marc by Marc Jacobs boots. Check out the beautiful Debbie Carlos print I just put up too.The other day I felt like wearing some really obnoxious monochrome look but of course I don't own enough of any one color to pull that off in anything but shades of black or gray, so I ended up with this. It's the first time these boots

DOMINANT/SUBMISSIVE

2011-06-24T19:01:00.001-07:00

Zana Bayne harnesses, Rachel Comey blouse, T by Alexander Wang skirt and Acne loafers.Guess who watched Secretary this week? Now all I want to do is dress like Lee. Loose bowtie blouses, below the knee pencil skirts, clunky mary janes and a little bit of bondage. I've already got my Zana Bayne harness, time to start looking for the perfect bowtie blouse.

BLACK SILK

2011-06-20T20:40:00.000-07:00

Wearing a Harputs Own romper. Perfect for summer. I don't think this prototype ever made it into production which is too bad because it's the coolest.

SPRING THINGS

2011-06-03T18:03:00.000-07:00

The latest harvest of arugula from my garden & a look from Jenni Kayne Resort 2011.Summer things would actually be more apt a title since we just had a 15 degree jump in temperature and tomorrow it'll be even hotter. Spring seems to have been eclipsed altogether but I don't mind as long as the sun is out. #1 on my summer wishlist is an ice cream maker.

REAL(yarn, fieldguided calendar, anthropologie candle, zine from nsew press, baggu zip pouches)Since cleaning up and reorganizing my room last week I've gone a little crazy browsing Etsy and other home goods shops online for pretty things to decorate my room with and take up space on my desk when I really should be getting rid of more things. As long as it's just browsing I guess...IMAGINARY(cups

I'm wearing a Converse One Star jacket, Harputs Own vest, F21 tee, CDG skirt and thrifted boots.Yummy sandwiches from Grilled Cheese Grill.Current knitting project. I still need to knit the sleeves and attach them but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out considering I'm not using a pattern for reference. It's a miracle that it's not a completely

ROCKET

2011-05-19T20:54:00.000-07:00

I'm still getting the hang of gardening (a couple plants haven't survived my black thumb) but one thing that has managed to grow without incident aside from a few pesky snails and slugs is this arugula. I harvested a big bowl's worth of leaves today and ate them with some mushroom risotto. Super yummy. Lettuces seem to be the easiest thing or at least the quickest to get growing so I want to
