Because

Because I'm up late.
Because I just finished midterms.
Because I'm craving a Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbucks.
Because I've been feeling sassy lately and for some reason leather pants seem like a great idea.
Because sweaters.

Because I like it, that's why.

I realize that this post lacks the artistic energy I generally try to bring forth in my posts, but as I debated whether or not I was going to click "publish" I remembered this a personal space for personal things, and this is how I feel right now.

Inspired by my mother, the phrase "because" seemed suddenly to be the only justification I needed.

Also, I realize that the frame, the glasses, and the Starbucks cup are cliche, but all I have to say to that is:

"HIPSTA, PLEASE."

Have a lovely Monday, blogosphere.

Everybody Loves Madewell

Given my SoCal roots, I tend to shy away from anything that's too preppy or polished looking in favor of looser fitting, more bohemian looks. (I'll take Free People over J.Crew pretty much every day of the week.)
That being said, I fell in love with the quirky twist on classic prep that Madewell took with its Fall 2012  lookbook. It's the perfect combination of boy meets girl, meets Zooey Deschanel from "New Girl."

Love.

Cheers!
