I LIKE TO PLAY DRESS UP TUMBLR.FACEBOOK.LOOKBOOK.CHICTOPIA.LASTFM

Too bad I'm broke as HAYLL at the moment. Sad face.
I can still dream, can't I?

MinkPink Donna Bustier Dress from Nasty Gal
90s revival! YES YES, this dress is perfection.



We Who See Field Boot from UO.
I love lace up boots. I probably won't be getting any anytime soon now that it's spring :|




Cross-body bags by Katzi from Pixie Market
I already have a slouchy tan cross body bag that I use quite religiously. However, I'd like to add something more structured to my wardrobe.




T by Alexander Wang t-shirt/dress hybrids from La Garconne
Everyone is shitting bricks over this line, and I am no exception. I can see the beauty in a finely made, basic tee. I bet they feel lucious and drape so well. I live in black and white tees... but I don't know if I have enough pride to blow $90 on a t shirt though... Perhaps American Apparel will have to do (not hating here).



Bowler hat from Target
I don't really wear hats much, so that needs to change. However, like the boots, I will probably wait on this. But fo real fo real, this hat needs to get in my closet, asap.



Lastly,



Joseph Gordon Levitt, you are hot sex on a platter. You are on my wishlist indefinitely.

Love these looks. Mmm monochromatic.

He is one of my favorite fashion photographers, hands down. I posted some photos he took of Gisele and those REALLY (digitally altered) built men a few posts back. I figured I should post more of his work because he is THAT amazing.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with him, He has worked for Yves Saint Laurent, Levis, Nike, Estée Lauder, Hermes, Emanuel Ungaro, Armani, and even shot a Coldplay album cover.

Temperley for Target jacket/cape, f21 white shirt tuxedo pleat shirt (can't tell in this pic), Lux skinny jeans, vintage scarf, Ray Ban Wayfarers, Urban Outfitters bag & ballet flats

Well, maybe "old as dirt" might be pushing it (2007, hay hay)... But I miss that jacket and scarf dearly.

This set of photos was from freshman year. It's hard to believe I just finished my second year of college.

I try my best to pronounce designer names correctly, but after reading this list I realize I've pronounced/read some of these names wrong. Ooooops! Well, now I know. Can't make those mistakes when I'm trying to land that internship in couple years!

Also, I find these highly entertaining;

DO!


DON'T!


PS, hope everyone had a good mother's day :)

^ dis be me & my mamaaaa.

Absolutely exquisite...


I must get the online subscription to this magazine! The content is sweet and fairly eclectic. I love the pastel theme used throughout the website & issues. Also, I'm a sucker for fashion sketches, so I really enjoy the drawings of Erin Wasson and Sasha Piranova.

Check it out.

These are from a few weeks ago. Now I'm home for the summer, missing Richmond. This is what we do before we go out (or instead of going out, because we're THAT COOL).
It's hard to tell, but I'm wearing a Kohl's cropped bomber jacket, Gap V-neck pocket tee, Floral Target skirt, and very old American Eagle sandals that I'm borrowing indefinitely from my mom. My friends look pretty cute too :)



These pictures turned out so good. My friend Gaby is a great photographer, although she's way too modest.

I've noticed that all the pictures I've posted on here sort of cover my face, this is unintentional. I hate "the angles."
