While looking for the perfect leopard heels on google (still haven't found them for my budget) I found this brand. The leather snakeskin leggings, crazy cut out top, leopard capes, crazy necklace (and more!) are all layered amazingly and is everything that I'm coveting for Fall and Winter.

Umm hi internet, it's been a while. Too many personal issues are sucking the energy out of me and blogging has been the last thing on my mind. I think being in bleh mode these past few weeks made me really want to change up my look so I've been putting in my clip on extensions to look somewhat different. since I don't really feel like myself. I've been drinking tons of tea and wearing this necklace which is supposed to have some sort of energy crystal. Uhh sure, I'll take that if it makes me feel less crappy. These were taken when I met with a friend for lunch and happened to have my camera with me, nothing special, just a normal outfit for classes.

Goofy face and thumbs up are still intact in that second picture, so I'm somewhat alright. Could be better though.

My Boots Called the Riders and so They Came

Days like today (and yesterday) when I have a million projects due for school and haven't gotten any sleep (or maybe only an hour of sleep) and literally have 15 minutes to get ready and catch the school shuttle, I put on my most comfy boots and just hope I don't look too horrible.
Thanks to the creative team behind 2 Bandits, my boots get their own bling bling so even if their owner doesn't look her best, they can look a little more presentable.

The past two weekends I've been busy doing some fun photo shoots (will post details later) giving me no Wesley and Aimee's movie time so today even though the weather in San Francisco was super sad, we decided to watch Jackass in 3D. Let's just say I had to take my 3D glasses off and cover my eyes during some scenes just so that I wouldn't throw up.
Over all it was a disgusting and shocking yet very hilarious movie.

Fall Perfection

This outfit is just perfection. The fur collar with the striped trimmed blazer, beautifully pleated yellow skirt, circle sunnies and leather handbag in her hand finished with suede ankle boots- the best grown up school girl look I've ever seen.

Originally I wanted to take a picture without the jacket because the ruching on this dress is pretty amazing but it was too cold so I'll have to save that for another post.
Days are getting shorter and the fog comes in so quick it feels like I'm living in San Francisco again.

I was wearing an Urban Outfitters Tank and my mom's Roberto Cavalli leopard skirt (back from the 80s I believe..) that I also wore in this post for New Years. The wedges are from Topshop.

Wrinkled Linen

It's crazy how wrinkly linen gets by the end of the day although I did sit up and down all day long at school.
I'm kind of excited about these shearling ankle boots that I got and can't wait to wear them with socks on colder days. They are surprisingly comfortable except when I first put them on I put the left one on my right and my right on my left and walked around the house in them thinking they just fit weird until I realized that I had them on the wrong feet! Does anybody over five still do that?

Outfit from two days ago, I'm currently studying for a midterm and quiz so I don't have much to say. Wore this out to get ice cream and other treats. I updated my blog shop yesterday but it seems like most of the things are already gone, sorry guys! I'll try to get some more stuff up next week since I'm still cleaning out my closet but can't bring myself to sell certain shirts...

Tough Lace

The unusual color of this lace dress, the unusual cap sleeved leather jacket, and the mix of chains and studs makes this outfit so interesting. Plus she's got that beautiful blue eyes to top it off.

portland day two (and a failed trip to stand up comedy)

kenny and zuke's
apc petit standards
camille

Super late, I know, I know, but I've been busy with school/life/yadayada. So let's see, day two... We met with Camille for food and shopping around downtown Portland. Lunch at Kenny & Zukes, then Frances May where Mikey freaked out over their selection of APC jeans (and bought a pair and wore them out, what). Oh, that first picture? Mikey thought it would be a great idea to order this breakfast hot dog... thing. A hot dog with bacon, eggs, and cheddar?! Well, I shouldn't speak considering I ordered...

maple bacon doughnut bar
vegan doughnut

...this. Waited an HOUR in the sun for these doughnuts from Voodoo. Does my bacon maple doughnut bar look excessive to you? I kept repeating to myself I'm on vacation, I'm on vacation when I was trying to figure out if I really wanted it. Although I would probably order it here if I could because I have no shame.

stand up comedy
waitingkilling time
phonecute

Aside from Frances May, I was really excited about finally seeing Stand Up Comedy in person but we were flat out of luck since we waited half an hour for someone to come back and no one ever did. They even had the latest Gentlewoman in stock, damn! I did a good amount of oogling from the window although it would have been awesome to actually see the SSWTR rainwear collection in person. Next time, next time...

Portland was awesome, I'd definitely go back and stay longer the next time around It's always fun to see Camille when she's in SF but this time I got to check out her hood, hehe.

so close
