I have been absent from the blogging world or any form of internet communication, YES it was finals week and it's finally over! Ron Alan and I took a trip to Venice Beach on the hunt for the infamous Wolf Hat. He would not stop ranting and raving about it as if his life would be ten times better with it! Sooo worth the trip because I'm pretty sure he wore it for a week straight! He must of got a comment on it everywhere we went, quite the head turner! I must admit it is pretty adorable. These are the Forever21 wedges that are already falling apart. I don't think superglue could even fix the problem and superglue fixes everything! I have a bajillion of things/projects on my mind this holiday season; can't wait to get started and get crafty! I hope everyone is enjoying the best time of the year!

My First Pair

My very first pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes! Thanks Plum for Polly for supplying me with one of the most comfortable shoes that I now own. If you're interested in purchasing them I suggest going up a size. I'm normally a size 7 and had to go up a size.
I recently wore my Forever21 peep toe wedge booties and noticed it was falling apart after wearing them on just three outings! I guess you really do get what you pay for..makes me want to make good investments in great quality shoes that will last me through blizzards and storms! Now that these JC's are marked off my never-ending wish list onto the hunt for some Frye boots!

I love discovering new talented people! Especially people whose work I admire. I finally got to shoot with the beautiful photographer Melissa De Mata who was first brought to my attention by Jaydee. I found myself constantly checking her blog for updates because I couldn't get enough of her photos. Her bold concepts and risky images she takes of herself are one of kind. We initially tried to meet up back in the O.C. area but failed and out of all places met her on my trip up north to SF. Melissa loved these random isolated orange chairs scattered outside of a cafe. The lighting had a spotlight sort of vibe. Loved how these photos look like stills from a play. I definitely recommend checking out her blog HAPPYMESS along with her other photography blogs. Cannot wait to muster up ideas and collaborate with her in the very near future!

Total Bliss

This past weekend was total bliss! Jaydee and I took our traditional trip up north to visit Elle in San Francisco. We met up my cousin Richard who took us around Napa Valley for wine tasting. I am so spoiled! I've gone twice in a year and I still can't get enough. I have a new love for red wines. My favorite was the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. "Elegant and refined, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of rich black fruit laced with hints of dried herbs. The wine’s deep connection to the soil is reflected in flavors of cassis, plum and black berries which are complemented by the essence of truffle, cedar and tobacco. Soft tannins and well integrated oak are balanced with a fine acidity to create a finish that will linger well after the last course has been cleared."
The entire afternoon we soaked up the sun enjoying wine and the beautiful scenery. It was one of those moments where I had to step back and realize how lucky and fortunate I am to enjoy days like these. Everyone was dressed in their fall attire: boots, stockings, knee-high socks, layers, cozy cardigans, mixing of prints, and sheer drapey items were the mash up of our outfits .

Man behind the camera

I don't think I give enough recognition to my mega awesome photographer Ron Alan. He's amazing on all sorts of levels. I mean blogging isn't the same without his concepts and ideas of photos. He has a great vision and his work just keeps getting better. Because of him I had the awesome opportunity to style the Plum for Polly Look Book, so thanks again and again Ron Alan for capturing the moments and for all your creative input. He also has a blog featuring his day to day photography check it out here.

Who knew that floral and polka dots could make a combo or maybe it's just me who thinks so? Before stepping out the door, in a rush for work as always I contemplated if it actually went together. I probably decided on yes when I looked at the clock and realized I had less than 20 minutes to make it on time. This floral collared button down is actually a pajama top and is 5 sizes too big and the skirt was my mums and is missing a button. I guess I have a thing for wearing defective apparel.
