Hot shoes

The perfect pair of pumps I found on Etsy for only $9.95. I know,, that's where I shop lately since My shopping budget is very small.

The shoes are so pretty.
Made in Italy
It's the exact color I wanted
Love the clear plastic detail
Great height of the heels
Vintage but the design doesn't feel outdated.
The shape is just perfect.

The only problem is,,,,,

They are too small!!!
I feel so bad for my poor toes but I'm gonna have to keep them and wear them with the help of Advil. *sighs*

Weekend!

I'll be in Palm Springs with a couple of girl friends to celebrate rami's 30th birthday. It's the end of summer but Palm Springs is still boiling hot! I'll be in the pool while I'm sipping cocktails and reading my books.

Enjoy your weekend! xo

Texture and pattern

I received my vintage pencil skirt I got from Etsy (only $18!) and I tried it on with a bunch of different tops to match. I liked it with a button up shirt with thin red stripes but this vintage ruffle top that I've never figured out what to wear it with surprisingly worked too. I love how it's unexpected. My CV leopard clutch adds more texture and pattern and I kind of love it.

Dandelion Ranch

I was meaning to introduce you this amazing flower shop, Dandelion Ranch. They did some incredible flower arrangements for Closet Visit film 2 which will debut in a few weeks and of course the flowers made the whole set look so much more beautiful. I wish we could keep this gorgeous arrangement (above) in a vintage sled forever. (I heard that they dried beautifully, too) It's something you want to look at all the time and feel happy. :)

Many many thanks to Dandelion Ranch!

*Coconut Cod at Ginger Grass. It was good but a bit too coconutty!

*Closet Visit's been slow coz it's been too hot to shoot and now everyone's in NYC. I promise it will get back on track soon.

*Ahhh,, Fall shopping... I'm gonna try hard not to spend too much money on clothes this season. I'll look vintage first. I need a shrunken cashmere sweater, school boy wool blazer, pencil skirt, more button ups,,,etc.
To my girl friends : Please stop me if I try to buy something expensive!

Band of Outsiders Spring 2012

Jesse Kamm SS 2012 Lookbook

I'm excited to share the Jesse Kamm SS 2012 Lookbook, which I photographed. I'm not gonna lie, I was intimidated by the fact that our model, Hilary Walsh, is an amazing photographer. But thankfully, she was super cool and made me feel comfortable so I could just do my thing. :)

Congrats to Jesse on creating a great collection. I'm glad I was part of this fun collaboration.

--Some of these photos didn't make it to the final editing. Please see the entire lookbook HERE.

Love me some leopard! This Clare Vivier Leopard clutch is so hot for fall.

Layering bracelets is fun. (Navajo cuff, Dream Collective, Dream Collective and Oli & Me.)

Heatwave in LA is intense right now but I'm looking for the perfect scarf for Fall.

2. I'm also featured on my friend Victoria's new site "A Gifted Society". This site is all about gift ideas and I'm already loving it!

Classic Coach

I got another vintage Coach bag from a vintage store and I love it. I have a forest green one but this tan color works better with everything. I still like this red one from Net a Porte, too. Classic Coach works for me. :)
