super old school i know, but couldn't wait to post these ridiculously amazing pictures of abbey, someone i've been following since she first started...everyone's so in love with her now, some say that should make me love her less, but really who cares? this is pure badass, leather and black everything. head to toe; sounds like my type of party.

dewi driegen for marie claire

sort of falling in love all over again with this spread from oct in marie claire italia, filled with my favorite things -chunky knits,animal print and leather.

guess mauve boots, ae jacket, vintage/forever 21 jewelry

its been a while since i've last updated this thing, but since its my day off from my ridiculous work schedule i thought it'd be a nice change. it's been gloomy as always in san francisco and this wind never fails to provide amazing pictures specially at the beach. head down to pacifica/halfmoon bay to enjoy the fresh smell of sand and horse back riding (sounds like something i'd like to do more often).

if you're like me and don't really have $800+ lying around but would die to have a pair of acne boots, solestruck has officially found the answer for you. those senso boots, on the first picture are pretty dead on and the price tag isn't half as bad.

simplicity

2010-08-09T17:05:00.000-07:00

i've been kinda drooling over simple/plain things lately, you know without all the bling/ruffles/studs etc. while reading one of my fave sites notcouture (which you should go and visit right now, after you read this, of course)i found CLaer, created by the great Claudia Laermann(ex-creative head/designer for j.jil for 18 years!) and i'm in love, i don't own many simple things and knits but i'm def. going to start looking into this wonderfulness more often.

the end where i begin

this image quality is crap, and completely ruins the amazing clothes maurie & eve have created for their winter 2010 collection. i took advantage of a lazy night, and searched everywhere for something i could put up here that would somewhat represent what i like/wish/want to wear on a daily basis and maurie & eve is exactly it. looking through their spring/fall/winter collection, i honestly could not find one thing that i would not wear (not even shoes, and i'm sorta picky about those).
they're my favorite, hands down.

but...completely changing the subject. i'm going to start putting up more pictures of what i wear on a daily basis, that was the plan from the beggining anyway, and i hate that i haven't been doing what i set out to do. and i'm also going to put up pictures of all the wonderful things i've been purchasing over the summer at none other than my favorite place in the universe (aside from disneyworld), ebay.

xox.

two words for this; freakin' badass. i have no problem, whatsoever, wearing glow in the dark bodycons, giant furry hoods and headpieces and neither should you. seriously too cool for school.

...brian lichtenberg will be partnering up with forever 21 with a beyond gorgeous line that should be hitting stores on the 13th of august! can't wait to see this happen and of course to spend a little money on a designer i could obviously only afford in my afterlife or during a colab. like this one.

i know this has to be the longest post ever, but i couldn't pick just two or three because everything from kimberly ovitz fw 2010 is so gorgeous, drapey and perfect that i wish i found a way to have them all in my closet and if i did, it would probably be worn 7 days a week, 24 hours a day (and yes, even to bed).

so close

is it just me, or does this look way too identical? love nastygal/forever 21, it's about time they came "together" for the perfect crochet knit. one thing though, one is $30 and the other $52.

i know, i know... i'm a little shoe obsessed right now but i couldn't help myself and really just posting these two up was a big sacrifice. but i love them, and i'm now, officially addicted to lori's shoes. go go and check them out!

ps:thank you @JCshoes for the wonderful tip!

strolling down the highway

2010-06-28T18:21:00.000-07:00

my day has officially been made. as i was strolling through my daily reads, i found these new "flashing lights" boots by irregular choice at their official page and i'm in love! they're so freakin' cool and bad ass, makes me wanna join a motorcycle club, have a collection of bandannas and stroll around in leather pants and jacket all day.

2010-06-25T19:24:00.000-07:00

pretty much what my life has been consumed of in the last few weeks; fashion mags & shoes. (not my shoe stash; julia roitfeld's home in ny)

i honestly don't even know why i'm posting this up. but this was about 2-3 weeks ago, heading out to a concert that i was dragged to by my mom. she decided she needed pictures, so i guess i was the closest thing to a "model" she had...and i guess i kind of like how they came out, i love the sun and i gotta say that i'm liking my hair in the sun.

vintage blazer,vintage chanel purse,ray bans,h&m shoes & skirt and random tank.

sam edelman has been surprising me lately (not that he didn't in the past), but i'm honestly falling in love with his shoes all over again. i love these new arrivals at footnotesonline and i might just have to make some sacrifices in the next few months until school starts back again, specially for that last one pictured above.
