This is a look I wore on Monday:

“Mondays are grunge days. They’re long and hard with the whole rest of the week ahead… so I just want to lounge around in a tshirt, jeans, and a soft flannel shirt. Is it silly that I just like the colors and design of this shirt? Everyone keeps asking me if I’m a fan but truth be told I don’t even recall any of there songs… shameful. My coworker is a huge fan and right as I walked in she goes, “Is that G&R?” and I had no clue what she was talking about until I realized I was wearing my Guns n Roses tee, haha.”

Hello 3 Day weekend! Who’s excited for LABOR DAY WEEKEND? I’m going on a trip with my family and my boyfriend to Las Vegas! Haha, I haven’t been in years. To be honest I can’t stand all the cigarette smoke but hopefully after all these years I’m less sensitive to it. I’ll try to take some pictures to share! Here’s just a casual hot-weather outfit I wore the other day. I love floral blouses! So much so that I accidentally bought 2 that look super smilar… whoops! =)

I had such a fun but busy day at work yesterday, interviewing stylists of all things! So I knew I had to dress professional but I wanted to also show that I had great style so that the stylists knew that someone with a good eye was judging their work! (or I hope I do at least, haha!) My top and pants and both from Zara when they were having an incredible online sale. I’m so happy I snagged them! Is there too much pattern going on? I think they match in a strange way! Pattern mixing is my new favorite thing =)

What’s better than flower headbands, rainbow skirts, skeleton tshirts, and studded vests? Nothing! I’ve been dying to show off this beautiful skirt I got some time ago as well as this studded vest I made with an old jean jacket from Goodwill. Sorry my hair is hiding most of the studs, haha. It was a fun project though and it saves so much money, I suggest everyone try it instead of spending $100+ on a studded jacket. Goodwill jacket + studs = No more than $20!

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads out there! Personally I think I have the best dad in the world, but you’re allowed to disagree ;)

So yesterday I attended a graduation for my friends at UCLA! Congratulations to UCLA Design Media Art’s Class of 2012, and also everyone else who is graduating this year! I wanted to dress nicely for the occasion but I think I accidentally went toward rebel attire, Motorcycle Chic as I call it. =) I think I was just so excited to try on some of my new jewelry. As you can see, I piled on 4 necklaces. I love the different textures and layers that all these necklaces create! Surprisingly it’s a little tough to find the right lengths to layer but when done right, it makes a simple outfit, like this black dress, become amazing!

What’s this “festival look” that all these online stores are defining? Has this always been a thing and I just didn’t get the memo until this year? And can I wear a “festival look” when there are no festivals going on? I’m just going to have a festival at my workplace then! So I finally made the floral headband I’ve been dreaming about. It’s so big and loud and poofy and I love it! The blue matches perfectly with this patterned blazer I got in one of my Goodwill finds (it has a matching shirt and skirt too, oh my!) I didn’t want blue to overtake the entire outfit though… so I threw in some yellow lipstick! I’m really loving the OCC lip tars lately! The best part about them is that they don’t taste like lipstick! Am I the only person who HATES the taste of normal lipstick? FYI if you’re like me and are trying to find not so gross tasting lipstick I would get OCC lip tars or NARS lipsticks / jumbo lip pencils. I swear by these two brands’ lip products =)

I’ve been searching forever to try and find a really great flora/island print pant! I love the colors in these pants I’m wearing today =) Hope I didn’t over-accessorize this look though… my boyfriend says I look like a drug lord’s wife, haha. I think especially since I’m wearing my Gucci sunglasses. (they’re prescription!) Anyways, love the bright colors in this look although I’m not sure it fits my personality.
