outfit: UO top, vintage everything else.
jam packed schedule this week as im moving this sunday to a new place solo.
can’t wait to decorate and have a local farmers market steps away but the packing/moving process is less than enjoyable. asked my stylish gf (who’s appeared on LF before-HERE) to step in and show off her fabulous outfit.
hope your work weeks are going swell!

after a wild & crazy week i am left day dreaming of a soon-to-happen-Cocoa-Beach-get-away.
and on that note-dreaming of new (vintage inspired) SWIMWEAR!
while surfing through Refinery 29 i came across the Minnow Bathers lookbook, said to be inspired by: “friends, rebellion, summer fun, first beers, first tokes and first kisses”
who cares about awkward tan lines when the swimsuits look this rad?!
have a good weekend ladies (& gents!)

this lookbook is one of my all time favorites. it literally has me feeling an urge to make a trip to Miami since that is the closest LF store..road trip anyone?!
the color-blocking in the second photo is genius, love those colors together. i have an outfit in mind for my color-blocking experimentation, hopefully i don’t look like an easter egg!
hope you gain inspiration from this collection as well on this lovely Friday!
happy weekend,

aren’t these photos gorgeous?! the minute i spotted them on Nasty Gal’s site i saved them to my desktop for inspiration. wanting to try a similar style photoshoot with a girlfriend who’s agreed to some modeling. highly doubtful it comes out this badass but experimenting is always fun.
about halfway into the San Diego vacation and already done so much. a lot of riding bikes and eating. my boyfriend did his undergrad here so im traveling with a sort of local who has been taking me to his favorite spots. today we road to the swap meet and i picked up some vintage and Mexican jewelry. they also had a booth with tons of Urban Outfitters, Hurley, American Apparel and other brands i like that was super cheap. snagged some floral leggings and a tank for only $10. also came across a vintage 100% silk Saks Fifth Ave. sweater that is perfectly over-sized. i’d say today was a shopping success!
tonight we are going to a warehouse party a bike shop friend of Kareem’s is throwing, should be interesting!
hope everyone is having a marvelous weekend!
xx.

gotta make this quick but wanted to share a few stunning photos of Alexa Chung that have been sitting on my desktop for about 2 weeks now//
USED FOR BLOG PURPOSES
wow-RIGHT?!
that color blue looks really great on her, and even though this appears to be a more “laid back” look it’s still fantastic.
the lace, the bag, cat eyes and her always perfect hair are all on point-it’s no mystery why so many bloggers adore her style!

i too am guilty of browsing page after page of The Fashion Spot forums in awe of this girls wardrobe, never disappoints.
that being said-thought it was appropriate to post these as Alexa was my inspiration for my new hair do [though we added the asymmetrical twist] and tonight i am shooting the grand opening for the salon that fulfilled my aspirations of this simple cut.

the shop owner and stylist-Mimi-is achieving her dream of owning her own salon and in the heart of the hip Poncy-Highlands area, things couldn’t be going better. really pumped to be shooting the party-all you Atlanta ladies [and gents] come out and mingle!
