falling days

Last night was the last night of summer for me and my friends. Some went back to school and the others started new jobs. So we made the best of last night. First, went to see two of my favorite bands in Seattle, The Flavr Blue and Fly Moon Royalty, and without even trying ended up being in music video.

Now... I can't wait for fall! I just don't know how to dress for summer. I don't like to show too much skin and being as pale as I am, summer is no friend to my skin. I love fall.

  

However, moving to LA I got to get use to summer. Or start liking how to dress like a true Cali girl.

 

I've been wearing these boots a lot lately. I love my sneakers but heels do amazing things to the legs.

Boots (Target) $30 x Pants (TopShop)

Shirt (ZARA) $20 x Shirt (GAP) $20

A little rain never hurt no body.

Went to GAP, which I never do, it's become too expensive. However! Their sale rack is always on point like this button up for example. Original it was $69 but I got it for $20. Since it started raining it's ideal for this "spring day." 

those pants say something

Awhile back when I was on tour with Mary Lambert we had a show in New York. I have a strange love/hate relationship with New York. It steals all my friends, can be a very lonely place, and is so expensive. However New York is THE best place to shop.

Of course the best place to shop is UNIQLO. It's like a better GAP, Banana Republic, and American Apparel all rolled up in one. This where I got these great pants. Although on the more expensive side of things, I love Uniqlo and there items last forever.

Realized I could of done a night & day post with this outfit but it wasn't until I had to go to my mother's birthday dinner did I change my clothes. But pretty much the evening version of my "throw some shade" post.

another time

Most people think the time they are living in isn't good/cool enough. That they wish they could live in another decade. I am one of those people. So besides Chicago during the 1920's I think I would of loved the late 50's early 60's.

Maybe it's because I am obsessed with Mad Men (or the fashion...)

The Color Wheel

It's a beautiful sunny COLD day in Seattle.

Spring is right around the corner which means color and lots of it. I personally love fall and winter because I like layers and being super cozy. But I am looking forward to some sun even if it's only 40 degrees outside. For me it's a win-win situation.

Yesterday was pay day and today I got news that I got into a writing retreat that I applied for, which is super exciting! It's a master class workshop about screen writing and women writers. When I got the e-mail at work I play it cool until I excused myself to the safety of my bathroom and went wild! Did a little celebrating dance by myself and called my mom.

Yeah. I am that nerd.

Now, onto the fashion. I played around with color today. I am pretty sure I am wearing 7 different shades and colors.

Pre-Show Jitters

As you may know the Oscars were yesterday. Sadly, it was a very uneventful evening. Yes a "F-Bomb" was dropped during someone's speech but it wasn't something that shocking or amazing. The hosts were... different. One was very eager to please and the other was baked out of his mind. You guess who was who.

I always dress up for the Oscars but before I could I had to go to a poetry practice so I had to wear "normal" clothes. Here is my outfit:
