adventures in stripes

I went adventuring with my boyfriend and a few friends after work last week and snapped these photos  by a pizza joint in the middle of nowhere. Hi-light of the trip was driving by a gorgeous lavender ranch, it smelled and looked incredible, definitely going to drive back in that direction again one of these days and find those lavender fields. I'm currently dressing for a gnarly heat wave. It's going to be 115 this weekend here! I AM SO NOT DOWN. Going to be hiding away in air conditioned anywheres the whole weekend. Must find a way to beat the heat!

Favorite beanie - A drugstore near you (in my case, CVS)

Tank - 90s vintage, Salvation Army
Backpack - Salvation Army

Overalls - Lulus.com (get them here.)

Super duper comfy outfit, these overalls are yet another purchase I've made at work. I seriously can't even express how much I adore my job, I basically get to play dress up with real life dolls all day and my team is amazing aaand the models I've gotten to work with so far have all been really sweet and awesome. SO BLESSED. Today we didn't photo shoot so I prepared the new arrivals for tomorrow's shoot and took instagram pictures. How rad is that. Aaaaanyyways, I should stop before I get too carried away being excited about my job. I'm going to make a post one of these days of some pics I've snapped at work. Welp, that's all folks! 

Hope you're all having lovely weeks, summmaaaaaaaa is here!! :-) :-) :-)

geekin' out

When it comes to getting dressed in the morning I'm a creature of comfort. Beanies and sneakers are always my go-to and this was the perfect outfit to get me through the work day.

Beanie - Urban Outfitters

Top - Thrifted

Pants - Vintage from my mom

Watch - World Market

Sunglasses - Burberry

Sneakers - Converse Chuck Taylors

Bag - Burberry

Days are progressing, spring days are soon to be rolling into summer days and I'm terribly homesick for the bay.  I'm really enjoying my time out here and I'm planning on staying longer since getting my job (which I completely adore) but I can't stop thinking about how I was supposed to go back to the bay for August.  So bittersweet. I've been having dreams about SF and I wake up aching for it. So strange, but I intend to be back in the bay in a year. I wish my job could just move with me. Oh well, such is life.  On another note, I've been cleaning/ organizing a ton and getting ready to move into a new place soon. (Hopefully) so I'm super stoked on that. And I get a three day weekend, whooohooooooo!!!! Okay, enough excitement, hope everyone has been having lovely days and I'm not even sure if anyone reads this but if someone happens to be reading this I hope you have the most fabulous weekend ever and I'm sending all the positive vibes I can muster your way.

Lucid Dreaming

Went on a stroll through the local college here and I was blown away by all the beautiful nature around. Stopped to snap a few shots. It was a warm breezy day, the weather has been so gorgeous lately.

Top - Vintage/Thrifted

Skirt - Lolita 

Shoes - Converse

Sunglasses - Burberry

I really adore colors and wearing colorful outfits. It really brightens up my mood, I really dig burnt orange and absolutely adore the print on this shirt I found at Salvation Army. I found the skirt in a Buffalo Exchange in the Mission in SF. The majority of my closet is from thrift stores, I used to go thrifting first thing every Wednesday (and probably more often than that). I've always said thrift stores are like my church. Anyways, I'm getting more used to remembering to take pictures of my outfits and I'm really enjoying sharing them.

trippy vibes

I'm making it a point to find all the cool artsy stuff in my new town and love love love this Beatles mural I found as well as an astronaut painting that I discovered in downtown.  So dope! And also so stoked to share another outfit post with y'all, think I'm starting to get the hang of this. 

That jacket means so much to me. It was my dad's when he used to race corvette's in the 80's, it's covered in the sickest patches. Definitely making a post on that jacket soon.

• Mezon - Crop Tank
• American Rag - Jacket
• Liz Claiborne - High Waisted Pants
• High Top Converse 

My boyfriend (pictured above) is my unofficial photographer. I'm actually pretty decent with photography and have been teaching him and he's catching on quickly. Yay! He's been a good sport about it and I'm really happy that he's supportive of me and this blog. 

This was a really fun outfit shoot, we walked around downtown and he showed me dope murals. I'm super stoked about this outfit too, the Mezon tank I'm wearing is SO comfy and so are those pants. I love finding Liz Claiborne clothing in thrift stores, it's like vintage gold to me!  Also got that necklace from a guy on the street, and it's one of my favorites now. It has a little piece of black tourmaline in it and I'm obsessed. I always carry a little black tourmaline with me in my bag but now I have some to wear around my neck! How lucky am I! I've been having wonderful days lately, the weather has been beautiful and so have the humans, I'm hoping these lovely days keep on rolling through. I have a good feeling about life, good things are to come. Hope all of you have been feeling the good vibes too!
