blushing style: April 2009

one outfit, two versions

H&M cardigan, jovovich-hawk for target dress, thrifted wool pullover, target thigh highs, vintage riding boots, vintage capezio bookbag

Okay so, here are two slightly different versions of the same outfit. In truth, I really just wanted an excuse to try my gray thigh highs with these boots! I ended up going with my original outfit on the left. I really wish I had my pink cardigan on hand to add some more color but unfortunately I left it at the BF's. Ahh well. It's his birthday this Monday so we're celebrating this weekend. Fun, fun! Then again, that means it's May which in turn means finals are coming up. I've promised myself that I won't let myself go this time around and will definitely keep up with posting. I PROMISE YOU, INTERWEBS, THAT I'LL POST FROM THE LIBRARY IF I HAVE TO.

If you guys haven't seen it yet, check out my friends' shoe porn tumblr, SHOELUST! I'm technically a contributor as well but since I can't keep up I just stick around for moral support. Or something like that.

(And because my face in the above two pictures is too serious, here's a more accurate depiction of my face and unbrushed hair ^__^)

Not a Sailor

(Vintage Blazer, Banana Republic Shirt, Dress from Mom, Steve Madden Boots)

So I finally purchased two big dressers for my closet over the weekend after getting sick of not being able to find my clothes and wearing the same thing over and over again and I found so many new clothes(yay!) and other clothes that haven't been loved by me and are desperately seeking a new owner.

Therefore, I have decided to list a very few of them on ebay.

You can check them out HERE.

About a Girl

simple, as always

thrifted linen shirt, BDG cigarette jeans, vintage riding boots

Yet another casual look featuring at least one oversized item of clothing. This shirt is actually NOT the same as the oxford shirt I wore two posts back and is much lighter since it is made out of linen. It is also less oversized so I opted for leaving the buttons closed rather than open like the last time. Simple and easy, right? I've also been living in these boots which I found this past weekend at a cute little vintage store/hair salon on Telegraph, Down At Lulu's. I was really excited when I found them since I tend to have really bad luck when it comes to finding knee high vintage boots but score way more with shorter booties. I can't wait to wear them with cute dresses in the summer!

Oh and, I also listed a few things on my Chictopia for sale. I only have blazers/jackets up for now but expect a few more things in the coming days! I really need to clean out my closet.

(If any of you were wondering if I had a forehead, here it is. Excuse the eyebrows, they never see the light!)

Having fun in Florals

(Minkpink Dress)

Remember that day when I, like an idiot went to H&M at 7 in the morning?

Well as soon as it turned 9 my friend Stella and I went into this store (forgot the name) that carried a lot of Minkpink clothes. I've only seen their clothes online and had no idea that a store in SF would carry it so I hurried up and purchased this dress. Unfortunately, the booby area is a little big on me(this is size S) but I still heart it due to the bad ass zipper detail and odd black side patches on a girly floral dress.

SF Wind

(Vintage Jacket from mom, Jockey Tank, H&M skirt, Dirty Laundry boots)

SF Wind loves to abuse my hair.

You're so abusive :(

change of space

thrifted =tunic top, black milk skinnies, h&m wedges

My usual spot in the dining room is currently being used by my roommate and friend to study for their midterm so I have to improvise. In case you can't tell, I'm wearing an oversized (big surprise) top with rolled up sleeves, the same wax coated skinnies from the last post, and my trusty wedges. I haven't done much today other than clean and go nuts over my roommate's friend's puppy, Teddy. If pictures of cute things are enough to send me over the edge... well, I'm sure you can guess what this little guy did to me. I DIE!

(BF said we can get a puppy one day... and name him PIKA. AWWWWWWW.)

I'm such an airhead........ seriously

(Little Boy's Denim Vest, F21 Men's Fleece & Tank, Arden B Tights, Via Spiga Socks, Dirty Laundry Boots)

So I go to H&M at 7 this morning with my friend Stella for Mathew Williamson's collection since I've been wanting the tan leather jacket and the maxi/long dress. We were expecting a long line but we were surprised that we were the first ones. This is how our conversation went,

Me: Dude, we're the frist ones. That's crazy.

Stella: Wow, I thought there was going to be a huge line.

Me: Maybe people in SF don't like Mathew Williamson as much

Stella: Yeah, probably.

well we later realized(after about 30minutes) that the opening was yesterday not today.

LOL

kinda there, but not really

thrifted oxford shirt, black milk skinnies, prada lace up booties

Perhaps this was the wrong time to start a blog since I have already fallen behind with posting. I'm sorry but it's really hard to come up with outfits when it's a whopping 90 degrees and you're used to 60-70 degree weather! I was literally living in a tank top and shorts for a few days. I've also been sleeping for once and well... I'll stop there. Today's outfit is not very interesting but for the sake of the survival of this blog, I'll post it. The top is a men's oxford shirt with a nice oversized fit over a loose silkblend tank top paired with wax coated skinnies tucked into my lace up booties. Easy and simple does the job, right?

(Yes, I am aware that I am showing a bit much in the picture below. Ahh well, enjoy?)
