a midriff experiment

Now, first let me say I am not a fan of the midriff. But my opinion changed when I discovered this little number last year, and I had to bring it out of my closet to see the light of day for its first public appearance. I am happy to say it went well :) It's an odd sensation to feel the breeze on your exposed stomach but easy to get used to and surprisingly refreshing too. I'm loving the bright colors mixed together with the geometric flower print and the tiny buttons down the back are icing on the cake. 

bohemian 'wrap'sody

My inner boho chic came out to play today. I had fun dressing for the sun and wanted to bring out these strappy espadrille wedges; they are perfect for the spring and if you look closely they have little tassels on the zipper pull... SO cute. 

I like that the tribal print on the knapsack and jade jewelry combined with my weird affinity for 'evil eye' bracelets brings a little bit of an ethnic feel to this outfit. What do you think?

Hangin' in La Jolla

Some shots of a casual outfit I wore while walking around downtown La Jolla the other day. This lone bench surrounded by a huge bougainvillea plant was screaming to be a part of my mini photo shoot. 

I usually never wear hats but this one was so cute I gave it a shot and now it's definitely a spring/summer staple. I found this ring at a small boutique on Girard... I'm loving the unique shape and color of it, so who cares if it turns my finger green?! I'll rock it regardless :)

so hot right now

I am disgustingly in love with this jacket...it is legit. The leather is so thick that when I first tried it on it was actually uncomfortable but after plenty of dedication I have been able to break it in (kind of). The thick zipper hardware, studded epaulette, and belt around the waist are just perfect. I die.

Some shots at Balboa Park on a beautiful San Diego day. This is a pretty typical outfit choice of mine; lots of layering and my favorite black boots. On days off I like to keep my hair casual in a messy bun which has been super easy since my discovery of the Goody 'Spin Pin'. I'm obsessed!! I literally ALWAYS have at least one somewhere in my bag, and if you haven't tried them yet, you need to!

Blurry nights

I promise my mind wasn't as out of focus as my camera ;)  Here are few pictures from a fun night out. I traipsed around from Hillcrest to La Jolla and then downtown for a night of dancing with my home-girl Meloudi. This outfit was so comfortable and kinda kept me warm, although now I think I'm feeling the effects of wearing open toed shoes in the rain **sniffle**
