Here I am rushing to walk my little pup, Monster, before going to a wedding reception. This is one of the few times when I actually get to wear some of my dresses out rather than trying them on and comtemplating when I can actually wear them. Here, I’m wearing a spanish inspired dress I got from Image, Report Signature Trudy Pumps, and accessorizing it with a necklace from Free People.

On Kat: Marc by Marc Jacobs cardigan, Kain Label T-shirt, Report Signature Shoes
On Kim: We The Free Woven Top, Free People Lace Top, BDG Shorts, Vintage Sandals

I’ve never been too fond of cold weather, rain and gloomy days, but this time around, I couldn’t wait for fall to get here soon enough!  I believe my dislike for fall stemmed from being in school, thus studying for midterms and writing 20-page reports.  Now, I can really enjoy all the little moments and relax at a bookstore while watching other students study for a dreaded calculus exam.  .   I’m excited for fall because of all the layering I will be doing!  I’ve got a couple key pieces like lace tops, tall boots, ankle booties, and tights I will be busting out of my hazardous closet.  No more bare legs and shoulders (unless it’s for a night-out)!! Woohoo!

Lately it’s been too hot! Ironic right? Most native Californians would never say that out loud. But I’ve been yearning for fall fashion! I can’t wait to accessorize myself with colorful scarf, head warmers, and especially cardigans! However, I’m also very excited for knee boots! They’re just so amazing and fun!

I can’t wait to get a pair. It just doesn’t seem like the right time to purchase them–considering that it’s been <100 degrees the pass couple of days in So Cal and the fact that I’m volunteering for the government! Nevertheless, I’m still keeping my eyes open for the perfect pair. I’ve visited these pair of Convertible Over The Knee Boot everyday on www.freepeople.com for the past couple weeks and I think they’re worth it…

It’s been a while since we posted pictures, too long for my taste.  We got together in Westwood to start off our day of hunting and gathering.  We brunched at Novel Cafe and then sold some old clothes at Buffalo Exchange.  I usually have good luck at Buffalo Exchange, but this Sunday I didn’t find anything.  We later went to 2 Free People boutiques for some employee appreciation love!  I discovered Siwy Jeans fit amazingly, I like batwing tees, and even with a discount I still can’t afford sh!t.  I did purchase a professional stud setter from Urban and I’m ready to lay some studs on my denim.  Not a very thrilling day of shopping for girls on a budget, but Kat and I are so glad to be back!

Love these head pieces from Maison Michel.  So not over the “hippie headband” when they look like this, adorned with pearls and feathers– gorgeous!

with Alexa Chung in Jalouse June 2009

Although, I have not caught too much of her show on MTV I know that Alexa Chung is gorgeous, witty and fun.  She has an irreverent sense of style that is accessible and she can basically rock anything.

Notes:
Biker shorts under shorts- check
Nylon socks with heels- check
Intimates as outerwear- check

So…I’ve been going through a mid-twenties crisis for the past couple of weeks; hence, the lack of new posts. In the last couple of weeks: I’ve completed my last day as a Staff Research Associate II at UCLA Miller Lab; I went on an east coast tour starting in Manhattan and finishing in Boston; I found a new apartment in downtown Long Beach; and I started a new job as an investigator. Enough excuses, the pictures above are of me wearing a hot pink Madewell cardigan underneath it a tank top tucked in an American Apparel black mini skirt. I was in the subway getting lost somewhere in Manhattan when the picture was taken. The second picture is of my sissys and I with our caricature drawing. Do you think the drawing resembles us?

It’s time to follow, not to heat it up
Requesting this plane is a propeller
In the middle of the course when ambitions are low
Head-on close, hang on before you lose control

Featuring Christian Louboutin Shoes

I don’t know about you but I think every fashionista needs to own a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. Although most Christian Louboutin shoes are basic some of the designs are quite  distinctive. Christian Louboutin shoes are known for solid bright red sole and height. The pair above are ridiculously tall. I can’t imagine who would attempt to wear such incredibly tall shoes and I would imagine your feet would be permanently damaged if you wore them out to a club. Regardless, I envy the woman who could say she wore them out.

It doesn’t take much to make me a happy girlfriend (according to friends).  My boyfriend recently told me he would take me on a shopping spree, I was ecstatic!  He said a shopping spree of 1 item, I jumped for joy, only in expression as I was driving during this conversation, and I screamed for a new purse.  Then he said I had a budget of $100, I squirmed in my little leatherette seat.  I mean, I’ve never been taken on a shopping spree by a boy before, let alone offered one for $100!  I’m a budget shopper, 100 Washingtons can get me a long way.  The next day we set out on our shopping spree to South Coast Plaza.  I soon realized that if I had 9 more of these shopping sprees I could get a pair of Marni heels.  I also realized that you can’t go budget shopping and search through racks with an impatient boyfriend.  Therefore, SCP was completely the wrong mall demographic for a budget shopping spree.  We ended up going to Costco and buying movie tickets and coffee gift cards.  We also shared a polish hot dog and a sundae.  There goes my shopping spree spent on food and a month’s supply of Coffee Bean drinks.  Nevertheless, my boyfriend is the BEST and according to me, it’s the thought that counts!!
