gypsy

Heeello folks! Sorry I've been MIA for a quick minute there, just moved to a new pad and don't have wifi yet. Currently sitting in a Peet's with my green tea latte, finally sharing this post I've been saving from over a month ago.  

Wore this outfit on the day of a lookbook shoot at work that I helped style. That shoot was the second lookbook at Lulu's that I assisted with styling but the first one I got to experience firsthand, it was so rad!

Anyhoo, making this post quick, I think this Peets is closing soon!  I pretty much threw on a bunch of my favorite jewelry that makes me happy, most of it from antique/thrift stores and a Gypsy Junkies dress, one of my first purchases from work.  Those shoes I got from Urban Outfitters in SF over a year ago.

Okaaayyy, that's all I have time for, toooodles!! xo

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!! :-) :-) :-)

heat wave

Let me present to you the raddest, comfiest pants I was so stoked to find at Salvation Army.  And this dope shirt that was gifted to me by Cara, the head stylist at Lulu*s. Studio perks! Such a perfect outfit for adventuring around town.

I'm pretty sure it's in the 90s outside right now so I'm hiding away in my room with the fan on high. I can't believe it's already June, but I am so damn excited to go to the swimming holes out here and enjoy enjoy enjoy. It's going to be an amazing summer, I can feel it! In about a month I'm heading to New York to see my fam. Spending the 4th of July there and I'll get to see my sister, 3 brothers, all my adorable nieces and nephews and dad! (Who I haven't seen in almost a year, so happy to finally get to see him AHHH!!!!) In addition to that I need to drive to SF because I'm flying out of SFO to get there so I'll get to see my moms and my grandparents from China are visiting her so I'll get to see them too and I haven't seen them since I was a little little kid. I never ever get to be around so much family, I can't believe it's happening in a month, already counting down the days!

Alrighty, hope everyone has a fab weekend, byyeeeeeeeee :-)

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.

streaming sleep

Keeping this short and simple since I'm just moments away from crashing. Such a struggle to stay awake through work today but I made it through and now I'm about to experience a glorious night of rest. Wore this on a casual date to the park and to get froyo (frozen yogurt) <- felt like I needed to clarify that, most of my friends call it froyo but since I've moved to Chico no one seems to get what I'm trying to say when I say froyo instead of frozen yogurt. I'm rambling because I'm sleepy so off to dream land I go, goodnight lovelies <3
