Outfit #1: Dress/shirt from Luna Boutique, handmade skirt, Forever 21 hat.
Outfit #2: Shorts and tank from Luna Boutique, Zara heels.
I took a break from behind the camera and did a little photo shoot with my friend Noor. Life has just been a whirlwind of shoots, work, working out, school, and any little social time I can fit in between. Those black scallop shorts are literally perfect with any top. I just wish the weather would warm up so I could put them to good use!

girl with the dragon tattoo

Rooney Mara can easily be called my current girl crush. Her entire performance in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was flawless. She portrayed the character's personality so well, with a certain edge that is so unique. I can't wait to see her in future films, as well as her developing style on the red carpet.

Chloe in action

If only I was a dancer... shoulda coulda woulda. Just watch how her hair and the dresses synch perfectly with her moves.

spring preview

Two brunette beauties featured in upcoming spring/summer collections. Alexa Chung is shown in Superga and Bambi has made it to the pages of Urban Outfitter's catalog. I'm all about the natural look and abundant colors.

Forever 21 top and socks, Old Navy sweater, vintage Calvin Klein shorts, Urban Outfitters loafers.

I finally got a simple pair of loafers! Such a great, basic find. This was before a chilly morning of class, but of course, I went against the grain and wore shorts... Adding the socks along with the loafers was something a little different, but a nice touch.

extras

My friend's shoes from the photo shoot this weekend. My favorite part of another person's outfit is what they have chosen as their accessories.

kimono

H&M flower wrap, vintage Calvin Klein shorts, Forever 21 hat. 
Had a photo shoot in Balboa today and finally got a chance to wear shorts in this gorgeous weather. This cover up was such a great find and H&M. $15? How could I turn it down?

a little tease

In honor of the current gorgeous weather this past week. January has been teasing us with a little hint of summer. And to celebrate, we can enjoy a break from black and white and wear a little pink and yellow.

as of now

My favorite street-style looks as of now. Sock with heels, short shorts, with a little asymmetrical touch.

through the wilderness

Top and shorts from Luna Boutique, socks from Forever 21, heels from Zara.

So excited when this pair came in the mail last week. I'm sure I'm at least 6'3 with them on, but who cares. I've also been adding pops of neon to my outfits and it's a nice change from the normal grey and black.

in a hurry

This shot caught my eye today on tumblr. I just bought a hat and shoes similar to the ones in her outfit, so maybe I'll post something like it soon. That brick red is just the right color. Any other type of red would have changed the outfit.

knit x2

Sweater from Luna Boutique, Forever 21 scarf, vintage watch.
This week has been filled with research papers, group projects, work, and cold weather! I doubled up on the knits for this outfit, and it was extremely comfy. I can't wait for warm weather to be here again. I'm looking white as snow...
