u.s.navy

so this look by Alexa Chung circulated the blog circuit after Coachella, and the utility jacket was much appreciated!

It then popped up as an LF Trend Report!

And again!

And finally, where i come in, i was at rosebowl last month and happened to see christeric.. die!! i went up to her and looked like an idiot but noted her wearing chain suspenders and later she was wearing a army green military jacket! which got me. so i shopped around a little and finally picked out this u.s. navy one for $5 and cut off the sleeves.

worn with a vintage pale pink lace romper

monty python

goes to show ya you can't go wrong with studs and chainmail

the xanadu

Jeffrey Campbell's latest addition to our fave metallic heel collection

kinda wintery but i'm thinkin supa cute with summery things like floral print dresses and such

ok hi.

i take it back look how pweeeettty

unfortunately my horrible modeling and lame photobooth pictures don't do it justice.

mahhh!!!! so torn!

maybe this for prom afterall... then black hoodie for after prom parties?

such difficult decisions.

prom problemo

so i was ordering the red shoes i mentioned a few posts back and came across this

prom? possibly? i ordered it, you know, just in case.

I'm just starting to question the orige idea to wear my mom's gown, it's just sooo shmancy and prob hard to dance in.

i was supa excited about that one, but then discovered they lie! it's not as green as it looks! and the models wearing it backwards!

still cute but not as epic. only in its arrival will i know if it's prom-worthy.

there's also this one that i ordered a while back

its costume dept from karmaloop and has a lace hood too which i love love love. i personally really enjoy this one, but keely disagrees and says i could do better for prom, so i continue my search.

but a good back up and addition to my closet regardless.

prompractice

yay! the rolls went well but for the actual prom i'm planning on getting a straight blow out for the rest of my hair with a loose curl at the end instead of the bridesmaid ringlets that i got haha separate i really like the curls they stayed for two days which was amazing but the curls just didnt go with my dress. now i need shoes!

bamboozled

got these silly square shaped "bamboo" earrings today at fairfax. love em! got some other fun stuff i will try and post them soon. and i was attempting a victory roll.. eh eh? i tried! i'm going into Floyd's for a prom test run and hopefully will be more successful then!

Orthodox Jew

I'm really enjoying these rabbi-inspired hats.

remember me?

heyro. this would be haile. yes, i am back from the dead.

thank god for keely who has been keeping up with posting quite well, but now i do vow to post frequently since AP's are over and i no longer have any studying to procrastinate. i am back (even though i am sure you did not miss me too much thanks to keely), and with a new haircut.

now enough talk, more fashion.

a few months back i spotted an old gown of my moms, gorgeous, floor length, white. it's fancy shmancy, and i have decided to wear it prom, but came across one problem: SHOES.

I am torn....

i saw these vivienne westwood's on display in Paris and fell in love.

i love the plasticky look.

but.. do i want pumps if i have a shmancy dress?

i might want chunkier, more unexpected shoes,

which is where these come into play..

these ragamuffin wedges are unconventional

..espesh for prom

but can i help that that's why i love them?

then there are these...

too bad they are unavailable; i've already shed several tears.

weekendupdate

so having raked in some birthday cash i did a bunch of shopping this weekend at rosebowl and down in hermosa beach. trust me i know all of these photobooth photos are sooo passe but its all i got to show off my new goodies so ignore my silly poses and check out my new stuff! i only did a few and will upload more when i feel motivated. enjoy!

ha!! Haile and i found this terrible 99 ways to cut your t-shirt and we found maybe 3 acceptable designs but there was one that had hearts cut into it and we loved! sucker!

i could NOT resist this one piece because it reminded me so much of this one alice dellal mini dress/leotard i posted somewhere along the road on here

overalls for summer!! yayayay

harleydavidson

yay!

bad news!

so those mariel wedges are actually black and just look blue in the picture!!! not cool guyz. this changes everything!

but anways heres a nice dose of alice. officially getting/making if i have too that black skirt with lace trim. and other than being Gaga is there another non-chalant way to wear soda can curlers in public?

hmmm

so the mariel pony wedge i originally had my eye on at shopnastygal is sold out! so... i researched further and came across these! i loooooove the navy!! i think theyd be fun for summer

but also on my mind are these new spins on the JC Alexa's, Raid wedges, which i do like the cut out aspect and i know that they are insanely comfortable, and come in both black and cream.

i think i like the mariel because theyre more sandalish and currently all of my JC's are black and silver! plus theyre cheaper.
