scarlet muse
Not so often I’ve put together my outfits around a single piece, but the muse of my week is most obviously my scarlet Foley & Corinna. What an ode to you! Happy Friday everyone! printed shirt: Romweshorts: Zarashoes: Swaybag: Foley & Corinna Mid City Totelips: MAC ‘Ruby Woo’

100th post: baby blues
I’m loud and proud to publicly display my deep affection for maxi dresses, especially for comfortable, simple, understated pieces. This lovely blue/periwinkle dress from Zara is only $19.90. Grab it now! It is 100% cotton and the cut drapes so smoothly and flowingly over the body. I wore it all day and even snoozed in it. Like I said before, throw anything backless at me and it...

scarlet fever
My scarlet Foley & Corinna has been sitting in my closet for ages without seeing sunlight, so I finally changed bags (been too lazy to keep changing) to give this some run. It gives me a perfect excuse to rock the red lip even more bold. mustard button down: Forever 21 (similar here)burnt orange knit: Forever 21jeans: 7 For All Mankind Gwenevere shoes: Swaybag: Foley & Corinna Mid City...

snake charmer
This top is one in my closet I can always rely on. The sheer skin is so understated and the hi-lo cut can’t be more fun in the breeze. I also received a new ring from diamentdesigns on Etsy and it’s already earned a permanent place on my fingers. I can barely feel it that sometimes my heart jumps before I realize it’s still on. I have a big heart for little things delicate....

spring fever
I spent my first day of Spring perusing knick knacks at Ikea. I went home with two jars and a vase, which I intend to place pretty stems in to decorate my room. I love the environment of having fresh flowers in my room and around the house so I’ve made it a habit to buy a few stems every grocery trip. And I always have to top off my Ikea trip with a $1 frozen yogurt. Yum! striped...

all sand everything
SoCal gloom gives me a chance to wear this cropped trench coat from Nasty Gal I posted about a couple of weeks ago. I just adore its chic and modern cut from the traditional trench coat. It’s so cute and comfortable and goes with practically anything. Let’s hope it can bear the NorCal weather I’ll be facing tonight and this weekend Eek! coat: Nasty Galinside top: Swaypants:...

…Etsy favorites! I’ve rehashed my love for Etsy browsing. It’s so overwhelming looking and considering all the cute handmade or vintage things you can buy. I have a big soft spot for dainty, delicate jewelry. When you have a very strong outfit in itself, such as a dress with a bold print or a shirt with a lot of intricate details, you’d want to pair them with minimal...

I give you three looks, one versatile dress. I accidentally layered two belts because I put it on my dress like that looking in the mirror, trying to decide between the two. After so long, I just said screw it and left it there, happy without having to make a decision. First stop of the day was in Mitsuwa market and my favorite ramen place in Irvine, Santouka. Spent a lot of time in the...

nereid: slinky cutouts
My whole outfit is Forever 21. As much as the brand is considered disposable fashion, I try to pick things that I know will last beyond trends. That’s usually how I shop anywhere, but it’s even better when tag dollars are so low and affordable and these pieces can last with me. I found this slinky dress from their Rory Beca collection. Although my dress is far from the...

Monet inspirations
One thing that has changed about me over the years is that I’m now a dedicated online shopper, not the mall mouse I used to be. I partly attribute that to living in Berkeley for the last few years and to be quite honest the nearest (quite far) malls weren’t the same to me as walking through South Coast Plaza. It was practically my second home on the weekends in high school and I...

Sugarlips was so kind to send me this beautifully detailed dress, perfect for the upcoming sunny days. The design and lightness of the dress is so whimsical; I feel like a modern Alice. You’ve got the noticeably intricate cutout pattern on the bib and hem, the scalloped finish on the hem, and the unsubtle back cutout. Throw anything backless to me and I instantly give it +10 coolpoints....
