I am a huge Emma Watson fan. Not because I like Harry Potter, or because I love Burberry, but because she’s drop dead gorgeous with impeccable style. Blake likes her too (surprise, surprise).
Who are your celebrity crushes?

There are more motels than I can count on one hand within 5 square blocks of our house. Isn’t that weird? One of which even had the tremendous honor of being named the #1 Dirtiest Hotel in America. These photos were taken at one of the less roachy-looking lodging options just down the street. Sort of charming in a gritty kind of way if you ask me.
Been debating whether or not to keep these shoes after picking them up at the Nordstrom sale with Jennie a couple weeks back. They are very red, and I already have two pairs of clogs that are quite similar. After wearing them all day, however, I have no regrets. They’re unbelievably comfortable considering their height!
I tried to jazz up an otherwise basic outfit by tying up my blouse and adding a knotted head scarf to the mix. Oh… and, of course, loads of jewelry.
Speaking of jewelry, I think I need to make some additions to my collection soon. Any recommendations for kick-ass, affordable accessories?

It’s sweltering in the city (and when I say sweltering, I mean over 70 degrees). If that’s not a reason to celebrate, I don’t know what is!
We are dedicating this lovely Saturday to World Cup-watching… Soccer, shmoccer — I am really just there for the booze.
Who’s watching, and what team should I be cheering on?!

Clearly I cannot make up my mind. My last post was all about my infatuation with polished grunge, and today I just felt like being a girly-girl. To be honest, while I was getting ready this morning, all I could think about was cotton candy cupcakes.
American Cupcake - a new cupcake shop/champagne bar – just opened up the street from us. Taste-wise, the cupcakes aren’t the best I’ve had (we’re a little spoiled here), but the way they’re decorated is picture perfect! Cotton candy seems like a funny flavor for a cupcake to me, but you seriously wouldn’t believe how adorable they are. Baby blue frosting, with a mini cotton candy puff stuck right in the middle (they have a legit machine where they make it). So, so cute.
I have been wanting to go in there for a glass of bubbles with Blake, but he simply refuses. I guess it’s reasonable… one spot best saved for a girl’s night out. Until then, I’ll just keep dressing like a cupcake!

Sometimes the best way to do “girly” is to infuse a little grunge. Nude lips with a cigarette, torn stockings, grey lace, and messy hair.
Finding a great deal of inspiration in these photos… thinking I might boycott shampoo for a few days.

In order to fully understand the title, you have to listen to this quick sound clip. While I realize this is my second time using a Clueless reference for one of my titles, I thought it appropriate given the circumstances…
I’ve recently been contemplating how to wear my new T by Alexander Wang dress without looking like a total hoebag. Blake asked me if it was underwear upon excitedly trying it on last week. I decided the solution to a see through dress, among other things, is layers-galore… so I paired it with my trusty pleated skirt!
Since returning to SF last night I have been struggling to re-adjust to my laziness-free life, nurse my flaming sunburn, and get used to my newly lightened hair. But it’s all downhill after Monday, right?!
Apologies for the less than radical pictures lately. Working 8 to 5 (or 6 or 7) does not always allow for prime sunlight, but Blake and I are doing our best! Hope everyone had a sunshine-filled, joyous weekend, and here’s to an even better week! xx
p.s. SO excited to discover that I was the Weardrobe featured blogger today! Wee! Check it out here.
