classic times.

went for a beach walk today. it turned into the beach walk from hell. mosquitos and horseflies every where and i was practically massacred all over my legs by the pests. to make matters worse, my sister was stung by a pink jelly fish while swimming with my mom on the beach. not happy times. plus it was blistering hot out.

the end of my day shaped up well though. i met up for dinner with my friends like we used to since 3rd grade. but we hadn't done it in like 4 years. it was such fun! to hide my polka-dot red bug bitten legs i wore my sheer tights with my vintage tee and some small designer-name Topshop shorts. did my hair with the boho braids.

mens shirt turned dress

Every since I saw how swedish blogger Elinkan tied her men's plaid shirt into the cutest little dress i've loved it. I did the same with my men's shirt this evening. Not really going anywhere in this, except to get icecream with my friends at "the bucket" down the street. I always wear shorts under anything that would look too short. I would probably wear this outfit in the fall though, with some tights and a red/black color schemed mens shirt.

lusting after the right bag

i've been so addicted to this briefcase style tote for awhile now. i am nowhere near hermes kelly, fakes included, so i've been checking out some other things. my top favorite is this miu miu bag that i've seen on the arms of some very stylish girls (including the beautiful amanda from chictopia!). its burnt red (or ruby as they say) and its got the cutest little shoulder strap and handle. The problem: over $1000. hell no. but still so beautiful and amazing.

so then i got around to checking out the marc by marc jacobs bags. on the more affordable price, yet still a pricy bag. i fell in love with this marc tote, very similar to the chloe, except less box-structured and more free flowing soft leather. it's smaller, and i'm still not sure that its even worth the money.

Boston on friday. Maybe i'll find something while wandering around.

turkey dinner special

Tuesday is turkey dinner special for lunch at this really super cute little restaurant called Just Jane's. Its like thanksgiving all over again, and I basically can't eat for the rest of the day. I just love stuffing and mashed potatoes. mmm... anyways.

Surprisingly accomplished more then i thought i would today. My sister was around to take tons of amazing photos of me and Katrina (lil sister). They all turned out fantastic, and there were some good adventures including sticking Katrina up in a tree. 

Heres my panther blouse. Its pretty awesome. Found it in Episode in Amsterdam, and i've already worn it on numerous occasions!

Blouse: Episode Vintage

silk floral top

been doing work on getting my UK student visa this morning. kind of stressful.

i bought this top at Episode in Amsterdam awhile ago for cheaps. I really haven't worn it that much, but when i do its comfy and relaxing. its silky and really huge, especially on the sides. if i lift my arms up it's kind of like i have wings. I wore my bohobraid-headband and my Acne jeans shorts.

summer winds

going on the boat with the family today. i'm wearing this vintage slip-dress i bought over a year ago which i cut to make shorter. the shining gold underneath would be my metallic bathing suit hah. i also put in some small side boho braids.

these boots were my moms. we've been doing a lot of old house cleaning lately. she wore them to her wedding, so they mean a lot to me.

must have

seeing the hair accessories at the marc jacobs fall 08 show has left me speechless. i'm dying to get my hands on one of those amazing headbands. Behold: Stephen Jones for Marc Jacobs

A strange accessory, but nonetheless new and interesting and unique! I would totally rock this every day in London.
