On My Wish List

It's that time of year again! Time to spend money on things I 'need' for my absolute favorite time of year, Fall!

Since moving in to my new apartment and learning what it's really like to have to pay for things like food and wifi, I will admit I've become a bit stingier with my cash. However, I knew myself well enough to set aside a generous amount of my (minimum) wages to splurge on my favorites for Fall. 

Above are a few of my favorite pieces that will be joining my closet soon (well, at least their cheap alternative counterparts). 

1. Updated Fall basics. A new flannel (perfect for my 90's obsession) and an oversized moto vest can instantly transform my summer favorites to Fall appropriate ensembles. 

2. Victorian-inspired lace. I'm loving a high neckline for Fall, especially with beautiful lace details.

3. Set/ tapestry print. Killing two birds with one stone! I've been looking for a good printed set for awhile now, and Fall/Winter is pretty much the only time you can get away with the heavy tapestry texture. Stoked. 

4. Pointed toe loafers. I've always been a fan of a good loafer, and considering my favorite blue velvet loafers just broke (may they rest in peace), I think this purchase is well-justified. 

5. Tailored bottoms. Because Fall in Los Angeles is notoriously HOT, I'm probably going to be wearing tailored denim shorts on the daily. As much as I love my cutoffs, I'm excited to see cleaner lines and a great fit taking over for Fall.

6. Gold jewelry. Specifically, I'm loving gold minimalist jewelry. Can't wait to get my hands on a chain ID bracelet and evil eye necklace. These are the kinds of pieces I can imagine wearing everyday as a go-to pair. 

Cheers!

"Meet Me Where the Sidewalk Ends"

I know that I've posted many ThreadSence lookbooks in the past, but I when I saw the Fall 2012 lookbook, I couldn't resist reposting some of their gorgeous photos.

Call me a hipster, but I'm a sucker for dark moody colors and misty-looking photos reminiscent of 90's  grunge and mystery. When I saw the vintage sets that the photo shoot took place in, I pretty much saw where I envision myself five years from now: living in a small apartment in a big city and channeling all of my creative energy into transforming a small budget into beautiful decor and boho-chic outfits. The only thing missing is my well-dressed, intelligent, funny, and HOT boyfriend (obviously).

If you can't tell, I'm a dreamer. If I ever had the opportunity to work as a stylist on a shoot such as this one, or even as a graphic designer, photo editor, mood board artist (is that even a thing?), anything, I think I would die of happiness. 

Anyway, this was too good to not post.

Cheers and happy Monday!
