I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn’t.

Fell in love with this dress when I saw it on Lulus.com and stoked that this dress is not only super awesome and well fitting in person but also my Wesley Mason approves it! Cannot wait for summer so I can wear this on a beach!

In my new perfect trench coat, I can finally pay homage to the new editor at Vogue France, Emmanuelle Alt.

After School

(Nasty Gal Leopard Bouse, H&M Skirt, Kelsi Dagger Boots with my own shoe lace, Botkier Haven Satchel, Anarchy Street Owl Cuff)

I'm thankful for the big windows in my apartment which bring in a lot of sunlight even on cold days but It can be a little tricky especially on days like today since I thought it was super warm until I stepped out of the apartment to go to school but was too late/lazy to change.

As for my boots, I got them at DSW (on sale!) and they're perfect for me since I hate to wear flats but always need comfortable heels for school and for all the walking I do. I got rid of the matching brown shoe laces and opted for white because the boots were too cute (as in young) and for me.

Btw, for those who asked about the sizing of the flares from the previous post, I got a size 24 and they fit just perfect. I'm normally a 24/25 depending on the brand.

Two posts in a row wearing the same coat. Why? Because it's cold and I don't own very many coats! And man, I love this coat, best $3 I've ever spent on something that wasn't food. Does that make me boring? Sure, I'll take that. I haven't really been shopping in over a month (not including the jacket that my parents bought me for Chinese New Year or the random vintage t-shirt that I got at Painted Bird because it reminded me of one that my mom had) but there hasn't been anything new that I've wanted or needed other than new stationary or a desk plant. It feels nice to be content with your wardrobe without constantly wanting and needing more. I think I should probably get rid of more clothes but for now I'm keeping what I have with a few scattered exceptions.

Also, the post title reminds me of this one time 10 years ago in 7th grade when we were playing a trivia game in class and one of the questions asked for the school colors of some university that I can't remember so I said the first two colors which popped into my head: orange and green. No clue what I was thinking about but the boys in my class teased me about it for the rest of the year by shouting "ORANGE AND GREEN! ORANGE AND GREEN!" every time they saw me. Man, I forgot how much junior high sucked.

Oh, and the shoes. I bought these almost 90% off retail a month ago and I've been wearing them a lot (which you can tell by the love scuffs in the close up photo). Somehow I paid less for these than the worn pair that I scored at Buffalo Exchange but I really lucked out at the Jeremy's in Berkeley this time thanks to a friend who works there and texted me when they came in. I even saw the same pair at a local shoe store still being sold at full price. Seriously, if you haven't been to either location yet, go.

ps. I'm also selling a brand new A.P.C. Madras dress (with tags) in a size medium...

Mad for Flares

The weather finally cleared up and my Sunday was pretty productive considering the fact that I slept in till 5pm on Saturday! Blame it on the ridiculous amount of tacos & chips I had that night with Wesley Mason and his friend Adam.

Hope you guys have a fantastic week! I'm very optimistic about this week especially since it has stopped raining here!

On the Balcony

Just one week ago, I was running around in a bikini and now I'm all bundled up in layers and layers of clothes. I am currently experiencing the coldest winter in San Francisco and looking at my Aruba vacation photos are sort of making me feel warmer especially with Charcoal on my lap and reggae music playing in the background. Hope you guys are staying warm!!

*Update*

My hat is from Bebe, crochet top from Free People and the Bikini is from Wet Seal ($15 for the bottom!!)

vintage sweater, duffel coat, and boots, Acne jeans, Coach purse

This is what I wore during and after this crazy storm that just hit San Francisco out of nowhere. Today I realized that after five years in the Bay Area I still don't own rain-appropriate shoes and probably never will since I haven't found a pair of rainboots that I actually like (and those Loeffler Randall ones still refuse to go on sale) so I just wore these trusty old vintage ones. Last night I somehow ended up walking in the rain and hail with two medium Domino's pizzas and while the pizzas remained relatively unscathed I ended up a soaking wet mess. Totally worth it, though.

So umm, what else? I walked around downtown SF with Lulu while she told me about her trip to New York. Call me boring but I'm not really into that NYFW scene and I don't think I ever will be (although this style.com iPhone app does come in handy). Did I ever mention that I haven't traveled anywhere past Texas or Mexico? I have this weird anxiety about being in a plane longer than two hours. I do want to go to New York soon and Megan and I were talking about going to New York to visit her cousin Sophie. Maybe in May? I'm more excited about going to various restaurants than anything (looking at Frances and Gennie's blogs for recommendations of course) and maybe some sightseeing but man, it'll be nice to go somewhere that isn't the west coast for once. Time to try something new in 2011, I suppose.

Wake Up, San Francisco

(Anarchy Street Fedora, H&M Coat, We Move Vintage Dress & Belt, Steve Madden Boots, Ferragamo Purse)

I felt like matching my vintage gold chain belt with my Ferragamo bag that I hardly ever wear.

Ever since I got back from Aruba, the weather has been very crappy here. It's been raining everyday and today I even got hailed on on my way to work and got soaking wet since I forgot my umbrella. While I was at work I was relieved to see that the sun came up but once I got off from work it started to rain again and by the time I got home it got sunny. Seriously, wth? The weather is having some serious mood swings. It seems as if San Francisco is getting back to me for being away for awhile.

The Desert and the Beach

(Urban Outfitters Hat, American Apparel Dress, Victoria's Secret Bikini, DIY Levi's cut-offs, Sam Edelman Sandals)

We drove out to the desert to see wild goats and wild asses, visited a church that Indians built back in the 1700s then rebuilt in the 1950s, ate at a restaurant in the middle of dessert, swam at Baby Beach (yes, that's the name of the beach) then did some gift shopping where I ended up getting nothing although the wooden colored pencils looked cool. Everywhere in Aruba is so picture perfect and it's definitely a one happy island!
