i drink too much coffee

A.P.C. plaid shirt, thrift camel cardigan, Gap jeggings, A.P.C. loafers, Ray Ban wayfarers

Sometimes I worry that people will think I'm too boring. I mean, I always make a joke about being predictable but there are so many bloggers out there with their cute fancy ensembles yet I'm here posting a shirt, cardigan, and jeans... how boring! Well in any case, I wore this just to get coffee so any effort that I would have made to look decent would have gone to waste since I wasn't planning on going anywhere. But you know what? I'm okay with looking like this 70% of the time and sharing it even if it is boring. I hope you guys are too.

By the way, I still think this is relevant.

In other news, I'm working on a summer playlist right now. So far I have 17 songs but I'm still trying to work out the order. Many of them have already been featured here, thanks to everyone who actually takes the time to listen to the songs that I post!

From Coast to Coast

(By Corpus sweater and skirt, Posso x Volcom swimsuit top, Sienna Ray handbag (special code to shop 25% off entire purchase: "SiennaRaySummer"), 80%20 shoes)

I am enjoying being home on the west coast way too much right now! I love NY but you can beat the weather here. It's brilliant right now and all I want to do is be outdoors by the water. Surprising I know, considering I'm terribly pale and look like I've lived in a twilight setting or something compared to everyone else on the beach with their bronzed bods and sprayed-on tans! So yeah, there's me. I've got my pink striped sweater SUN PROTECTION SUN PROTECTION over my favorite little Posso x Volcom bikini top. It's got a retro feel to it and comes with the cutest super high waisted bottom (not pictured hehe). It totally reminds me of something my mom used to wear here in Santa Monica when she was just a hot young babe! This sunny, clear day left me sooo lazeballs that I nearly fell asleep on the grass along Ocean Ave. It felt pretty good.

A cute sale find to almost transfer me to a goody goody girl... I am having too much fun to spend time in front of the computer! Today I spent the day styling one of radio x3m's brilliant rock voices, check out the whole story HERE.

Batty Natty

(80%20 shoes, White + Warren tee, We Are Rubbish shorts, Bally bag)

Photos by Raych of That's Chic

I had to call this post "Batty Natty" because that was the title of the folder these images were on, sent by the amazing Raych of That's Chic! She was in NYC for work and so of course we had to get together! During her stay, we went out with friends for an evening dinner, but then the weather turned on us and it started raining like crazy. The thunder and lightning actually created an awesome view from her hotel windows, which overlooked all of Manhattan! Us dorky girls had a night in, watched comfort television like The Cosby Show, all while getting tipsy on our wine. She is the funniest girl I know and I'm so happy we get to got together on the east coast! We snapped these photos by Cooper Square in the East Village, where we stumbled upon this awesome looking doorstep. It was an old building and the black paint was chipping off, but it definitely had that classic New York charm. I always feel like wearing stripes now, it is such a New York thing! The shoes are perfect for when I need to wear heels in the city. With the thick sole, they feel like sneakers! Now that I look at these pictures, I can see why Raych labeled me as BATTY NATTY! Welcome to the dark side :)

pink pants

vintage silk shirt, J.Crew pants, Rachel Comey boots, Ray Ban wayfarers

Feeling sick but I managed to get out for a bit to get a sandwich and cheese at Bi-Rite after sleeping 12+ hours last night. I don't usually photoshop my pictures but I had a pretty gnarly aioli stain on my top which was too embarrassing to leave alone since I apparently can't eat without spilling like a normal person. That aside, ham and swiss sandwiches from Bi-Rite are one of my favorite things to eat of all time mostly because it's just a baguette, meat, cheese, tomatoes, and aioli and I never like having too much on my sandwiches to begin with.

I didn't talk about the weather for once but still managed to go on a tangent about food. Apparently I don't have anything interesting to say about what I'm wearing! It's boring anyway. Oh, it may be a little late to mention this but I have a few spots open for ads if anyone is interested. Shoot me an email if you are!

Swimfan

(Volcom swimsuit and skirt, Little Darlings Hawaii necklaces)

Here I am at my home in California, by the pool, rocking a few of my favorite new Volcom pieces. I flew back to LA this week to continue my work with Volcom. I just shot the Spring '12 campaign yesterday and am currently designing pieces for the Fall 2012 collective. I'm super excited! I'm focusing on key pieces like skirts, dresses, and tops! It's a totally new experience, but the whole design process seems to be coming naturally for me. How crazy is it, to get to wear my own clothes?! Right now I am rocking the Posso x Volcom one piece swimsuit designed by none other than Marylouise Pels and Vanessa Giovacchini, the stylish DJ duo! I'm obsessed with their swimwear designs this season. This one has a very sexy low back. I love this for an afternoon by the pool with nothing but a sheer black skirt and some of my favorite seashell jewels straight from Hawaii.

Travel Staples

(Vintage blouse and hat, SOLD Design Lab pants, Velvetine Paris bag, Cole Haan sandals)

Whenever I travel, I always throw a classic vintage white button down in my suitcase. It's my must-have and looks good with pretty much everything. Another travel staple? One of my vintage hats. I've been living in this brown one. Works wonders too when I don't feel like putting on makeup or doing my hair :) I feel a bit like Indiana Jones meets Jane Goodall meets "I'm goin on a safari ride in the desert." I love it! And I'm all for the classic black skinny, but this faux leather pair adds a cool edge to this look. What easy pieces are in your carry-on suitcase?

hello summer

open back dress c/o Aerie (thanks Lucy @ Shadow PR!), Swedish Hasbeen clogs, tote via Refinery29's shop crawl

I wore this to walk to McDonalds a couple days ago. No joke. Fast food cravings aside, the weather SF finally hit 80 degrees and damn, it was HOT. I was sweating even in a dress that could easily pass off as a nightie. Unfortunately this only lasted two or three days: today's temperature refused to pass the 60s and the rest of the week doesn't seem very promising. Oh well.
