It's Beginning To Feel Like Fall

(we experienced a minor bird attack)

The weather in LA has taken a sharp turn and we are experiencing a minor version of fall. But, it's pretty exciting for me because I finally got to wear these pants. These babies are so comfortable and I just love the print! I paired them with a basic chiffon blouse and layered a denim shirt tied around my waist, both from Urban Outfitters. Again, I would just like to talk about my boots. These booties have lived on my feet for the past couple weeks and I love them so much I had to take a couple shots of just them.

I have been busy with classes and midterms, so I apologize for the lack of blog posts. I wanted to share this quote I got from my Philosophy class recently; I think it can apply to so many different situations. I loved it even more because I find my Philosophy professor to be incredibly attractive. 

"The beauty of an innocent victim's soul is untarnished by the evil done to her. Her life is worth living even if she suffers horribly. Even though she may not feel beautiful, she is beautiful, and the value of that beauty trumps whatever pain she may feel."

This Isn't My Boyfriend's Blazer

Funny story about this blazer...a while ago my friends and I went to some sample sales, and after unsuccessfully hitting the sales, we stopped by Goodwill. I found this Topshop gem for $3! Well it was actually $6, but they were having a 50% off sale. One trip to the dry cleaners later, and I have the perfect, loosely fit, "boyfriend blazer". I dressed down this blazer for a day of class with my favorite denim shorts and a t-shirt by Mason Scotch. Whenever I wear this shirt, people always ask me who the girl is. To be honest, I have no idea who the girl is.

I was also so excited to run into Alex, from hrhcollection, while she was taking photos! It was so nice to meet her and I have some serious bag envy over that Celine purse. 

PS, special thanks to my friend Danica for taking the photos.

Sweater Weather

Long time, no blog post. I am finally feeling adjusted to school and living in LA. I can honestly say that I am so happy here. By the coast, I have been finding the shorts and sweater ensemble best for the weather. I would say it's warm/chilly here...that is such an oxymoron, but perfectly describes the weather to me. This oatmeal colored sweater is by Urban Outfitters. I paired the sweater with leather shorts from Nordstrom, perfect for fall! I bought the shorts in a larger size because I wanted them to fit loosely. I topped the outfit off with my absolute favorite booties right now, the Jeffrey Cambell "Everly" bootie, with gold hardware. I have been wearing these boots so much recently and I know they will be a fall staple for me. If you didn't notice, I dyed my hair recently. I have been experimenting with new hairstyles lately and came across this grecian style "bun". It is so easy to do and looks great with a detailed headband! I hope you are all doing well and, don't worry, I hope to post more regularly now.

PS, who else is loving Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood?
