living in grandma's plaid // the clings-to-you sexy dress that you can eat in

I know it's technically fall but in Cali I'm still dressing like its the middle of summer. Boa and I were in China this past July. One of my favorite finds from our trip was this red plaid button-up. It's my grandma's plaid from decades ago. I found it at her old house in Shanghai. It's in great condition and I can't wait to break it in even more.

Side note: I'm obsessed with wrapping something around my waist. First of all I'm super into the 90s and secondly how many of you girls have experienced the whole heat-wave-outside and then icebox-inside thing?! I've had my fair share of that experience and it's just not fun when you're not prepared for the climate inside shops, restaurants, or the movie theatre. Wrap something around your waist! You'll fashionably prepared for anything.

It's also great to have a super easy to wear dress on hand. The one I'm wearing in this post is from Forever21 (its called the marled knit tank dress and I'm wearing a size medium for that "clings to your body in just the right places but isn't so tight you can't eat anything" look ;)

Since I've got a shorter petite frame I really love that this particular dress hits me right around my knees--the longer length helps me in the height department by creating longer lines. When it comes to style I'm all about comfort first and this one is so comfy you could take a nap in it. This dress is a closet-must have since its hits all my personal criteria: price, comfort, the ability to dress up/down, and versatility. We all need more pieces like this in our closet!                                  

black & white

You can never go wrong with black & white mixed in with some gold and leopard topped off with some red lips. That's my rule at least. When it get's chillier in LA this black drape-y coat is an absolute go to. The silhouette works with literally any outfit. The coat itself doesn't close with buttons or fasteners, but it's a great piece to pair with a statement belt on windier days. What makes it even more special is that my best friend Natasha (go check out her updated jewelry site: http://www.garagegypsyjewelry.com/) and I happen to both own this coat. We found out while raiding each others closets and it confirmed that we truly are twins...even if she's on the other side of the world right now. Thankful for having great friends in my life.

Enjoy!

OOTD: 90's edit. 

Fashion-wise I've been obsessed with the 90's for quite awhile now. I love the prints and generally how comfortable and easy-going 90's fashion is. One of my favorite things is when you forget about specific clothes you own and then discover them in your closet: that same euphoric feeling from when you first purchased them rushes over you. It's like finding a $20 dollar bill in your already washed old jeans. That's what happened to me with the dress I'm wearing. It's perfect for a hot summer day in the valley. 

If you haven't noticed yet I also got a haircut. I'm personally lovin' it. I've never gone this short in my whole life and I'm thinking that I'll be sporting this haircut for awhile. I got my hair done at this super cute new salon named Parlor in Burbank. If you're remotely close to the valley I suggest you try it. If you're a first time client you get 20% off :)! It really feels like a home away from home. Hope everyone has a happy rest of the week!

How cute is it!? The whole place has a great vibe and the gals who run the salon really know what they're doing.

 THIS OUTFIT: dress: vintage from Wasteland Clothing,  boots: TBA,  wide metal bracelet: liquid metal,  studded bracelet: f21, ring: f21, hat: vintage from Wasteland Clothing, Flannel: lost & found, necklace: bff necklaces from Garage Gypsy Jewelry (Natasha has the other half), purse: 3.1 Phillip Lim

ITS THE WEEKEND

Happy weekend everyone! It's been a really great two weeks filled with seeing old friends and catching up with people I hadn't seen in ages. You really realize how fast time flies when you realize you hadn't seen someone for two years, but it felt like last month. I'm also just really happy that I've actually been blogging more and sharing my style with you all. I feel so lucky having a significant other who is super passionate about what he loves to do because it just challenges me and gets me even more motivated. That's exactly why I decided to do an impromptu shoot to kick off the weekend. This year I discovered my love for Target...I know you're probably thinking, "it took you this long to realize how amazing Target is!?"

If you are on Instagram go and follow these gals: @targetdoesitagain http://targetdoesitagain.tumblr.com/

You will not be disappointed. They do the work for you by putting together a great curated collection of all the amazing things that Target gets on the regular. One of my favorite Target designer collaborations was Prabal Gurung x Target. The collection was fun, vibrant, and most importantly good quality. I picked up this dress since I had been looking for an easy to wear sheath-like dress. What I love about this dress is how instantly put together you feel. There are still a few things left from the collection on sale here. I like adding a little bit of edge to the ensemble by throwing on my studded F21 denim vest and paring it with fun colorful pumps. 

Those of you that know me well know about my online shopping addiction. It's so much better shopping online as long as you know your designers and have a strong grasp on how things fit on your body. I love it because you can ALWAYS find what you want at the best price. I ordered these three things from GILT and I CANNOT WAIT!
