Here & Here

Too Exciting for My Eyes

(Vintage denim shirt & skirt, Mom's lace top, Sigerson Morrison lace up heels, Ray Ban Aviators, YSL ring, Anarchy Street bracelets )

Woke up at 8am which is super early for Sundays to go to the Alameda Antiques Fair (basically a fancy name for a flea market). If Wesley Mason hadn't given me a reality check, I would've walked out with a giant Chanel Logo that lights up, a giant 'S' for 'Song', a steer head (which I already own, but I found a better one!) and about 10 African masks that I liked. Instead, we walked out with a very selective items which include, a tiny Buddha that Wesley Mason was obsessed with and a giant African mask that we were both obsessed with.

I'd say it was a pretty successful trip except for the part where we couldn't get into a car and I saw my boyfriend freak out for the first time.

(btw, I switched to my sandals after 30minutes of walking in heels and almost tripping over wires and furniture a few times.)

*Update* The fur is faux from Style by Marina, and it was a really sunny day but windy in the morning so I had my jacket on and got lazy to carry it once it got hot...... and no, my legs weren't cold. Thank you!

Great Pleasure to Be Back on Melrose

(Vintage Top, Hollister Denim Cut-Offs, Forever 21 Wedges, Urban Outfitters Sunglasses)

Remember my wide brimmed straw hat I got from Melrose awhile back (This post)? A lot of you guys have emailed me asking which specific store it was from but me being super bad with names I couldn't remember where. I finally found out it's called Le Jolie when I went back to Melrose Street today and they seriously have a great collection of everything. I couldn't take my eyes off of their amazing fringe jackets and the slashed knit top that I'm holding in the picture. The prices were actually very reasonable (the slashed top was around $40 and the jacket was around $60?)

Another great store that I love on Melrose is Slow. It's a second hand vintage store and they seriously have the best shoe collection and are also very reasonably priced. Too bad (or maybe a good thing) some of the shoes that I really wanted were too small on me but I did leave with two vintage boots for a great price.

Oh, and how amazing are those boots with the crazy heels I tried on? It was surprisingly comfortable.
