oh dear you look so lost











Rogan Tank (to be sold on ebay), Jeans Warehouse mini, Liliana booties (on ebay here)

From time to time I am going to post the items that I am currently selling on ebay. My plan is to open my ebay store shortly, after I work out the kinks. I want to sell modern, lightly used shoes and clothing items that have light wear or vintage. Rummaging though clothes was not a bad way to spend a cloudy Monday.

lay apon the ground stare a hole in the sky, wondering where I go when I die






 


Love Republic blouse, Paris Blue pants, Rave jacket, Bebe platforms

Spent today on an adventure driving up to Mount Baldy, a pretty short drive from the apartment. It was so beautiful up there and you could still see snow at the top. I will have to put a weekend stay in one of their charming cabins and spending the days taking pictures on my "to do" list for the near future.

Running for the Coast





Mind Code dress, H&M jacket, 2b purse, Promise heels

This was a truly fun weekend. Friends Monique and Ted came up to the apartment and we spend Friday and Saturday playing Wi games and laughing. My hair change was inspired by the newly engaged Kyla from OceanBaby86!

I love warming up a summer dress for fall!

More lovely floral goodness...

I don't want to go here, not with you...




Bebe dress that I refered to (to Merilee and my Bebe girls) as "The Best Dress in the WHOLE World"

I love this beautiful maxi that I jumped at while unpacking transfers at Bebe. A job they always had me do this because they were aware I'd buy everything.

Steal my heart and hold my tongue




H&M sweater, thrifted shorts, Michael Antonio platform heels

I am not loving my camera situation right now. I haven't found my tripod yet and the boxes are dwindling down. Translation: I think it's enjoying a permanent vaction in Hawaii.

I bought this sweater a year or so ago. Anything off the shoulder and long will always hold a special place in my heart so I bought 3. Pair with one of favorite ridiculous heels and I'm good to go.

bright before me the signs implore me


 


thrifted Dior boys blazer, BlackPoppy shredded knit, Bebe suede skinny pants, Steve Madden boots, thrifted leopard print scarf

It was nice and cold today, prefect for wrapping up in all sorts of layers! I bought this blazer a few years ago down in Chula Vista, I just love how it fits me. One of the items I always scout out while thrifting is a good blazer which I look for in the children's section because they are more narrow and usually shorter from the sleeves and bottom (which gives me the popular cropped look). These pants were a great find when I worked at Bebe. We got these in and I just about freaked over the sale price, they are very stretchy for suede and I liked them so much I bought them in 3 different colors!

are you strong enough to stand, protecting your heart and mine?



 
  

vintage dress, Forever 21, H&M jacket, Bebe heels, thrifted belt

I love my closet on days like this. I have accumulated a pretty good amount of clothes in my life and sometimes items get pushed in the back. This is how today began for me. I rediscovered this dress I bought about a year ago and had stupidly hemmed too short so I now have to pair it with a poofy skirt. I don't mind the pairing so much because I like any situation which results in the addition of more poofyness or black.

Vintage floral dress meets leather jacket? It's always a perfect contrast.

please let me know what piece I've lost






Bebe dress worn as top, Everblue skirt, thrifted giant belt wrapped around twice, promise shoes, Nordstrom glasses, 2b bracelet

I spent today enjoying the last warm day we're supposed to have here for a while, not that I mind. I love the cold and am very excited to whip out my oversized sweaters and leather jackets.

I love the womanly flow of this skirt. It feels so feminine and lovely.
