Shoes/ YRU, Bag/ Jump From Paper, Dress/ Barrio Vintage.

$up
Jump From Paper bags caught my eye sometime last year. I always loved the way that they looked, especially how they looked in pictures. When I first saw them I was convinced that someone photoshopped a cartoon looking bag into their picture. When I figured out that it was actually a real bag, I felt like I needed one. About a week or two ago Jump From Paper approached me about featuring them on my blog. I was so thrilled and excited! I got the bag over the weekend and I was a giddy school girl when I opened the package. It also came with a really cute cartoon like wallet (which I desperately needed.). This purse is definitely a necessity to my current style, so you will be seeing a lot more of it (Thank you Jump From Paper!). The bag is also very roomy and can fit a lot of stuff, it even looks cartoon-y when you open it. Make sure to check out their website JumpFromPaper.com.

This dress I got from a vintage store in Honolulu, when I went to Oahu this easter break. The vintage store was probably the coolest one I had ever been too. It was called Barrio Vintage in downtown Honolulu. If your ever in the area, this is a must if you love vintage as much as I do. The people who work there are so friendly and they love unique outfits (the best kinds). I've been told if you go there a lot, the owners will pick out and save stuff for you that they think you would like. That is my kind of place. Lastly this outfit wouldn't be complete without my YRU platforms. I have been getting a lot of wear out of them lately, I am really interested in getting new platforms that are high quality. Probably from buffalo, but they are kind of pricey.

Music- This song has literally been stuck in my head for a whole entire week. I can't get enough.

Dress/ Karma Clothing, Shoes/ T.U.K.

$up,
Over Easter break I took a family trip to Hawaii, the first one since my mom got re-married. The last time I went to Hawaii I was 14, and I was so excited to go back this year. The trip was a lot of fun and it was super cool to spend time with my mom and brother and my new step siblings and step father, we all had a blast. These are pictures from a Luau that we went to. My mom said we all had to wear something floral, so I took it to the next level with matching shoes. I wanted to capture a kind of 40s look with my hair mixed with a tacky floral outfit. The dress was sent to me from Karma Clothing which is this really awesome english clothing company that sells really cheap clothing (it's great quality too!). Check them out here. The shoes are a recent buy, and they are my newest favorite. I got them on my trip to Brighton with my friend Holly. Down 70 pounds, but I think it was worth it. The shoes are buy T.U.K. and I am sure could be found on their website, but I am not 100% sure.

Music- Phoenix, If I Ever Feel Better.

Dress/ Handmade, Underwear/ American Apparel, Shoes/ Melissas

$up,
This is my outfit from day two of the first weekend of Coachella. I made this dress by hand. I know it's really tacky, but I really love exactly how tacky it is. It reminds me of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. I love these shoes I am wearing because one they are super 90s, and to they smell like tutti frutti. All of the shoes by the company Melissa smells like tutti frutti, it's pretty great. They have also done collaborations with Vivian Westwood, they are worth checking out for sure.

The best performance on saturday was Ty Segall, hands down. Right after his performance my brother and I got stopped to do a video for H&M. They just videoed what we were wearing, but they were really interested in my brother for some modeling jobs. Unfortunately I got cut from the video, but my brother is in it!

I know it's been ages since I last posted on my blog. Things haven't been so hectic as they seem, it's more been a lack of motivation, which is way worse. I just came back to London today from easter break in LA. Over the break I went to Coachella with my brother, my good friends Gino, Dylan, Natalie, Zoe, Stephanie and Jasmine. It was sooo much fun!

This was my outfit for the first day which I made entirely by myself. The underwear is hard to see in these pictures but they are a matching pink material with little white sheep on them. The dress was made from a super sheer material to show off the cute underwear I made. In the day I wore these sandals by Vagabond, but as it got darker I wore my white Y.R.U. platforms.

The best performance the first night was by Girl Talk, hands down. My brother and I went fucking crazy dancing to it, I almost ate it so many times. During that performance my brother and I got our picture taken for LA Weekly, but of course they didn't tell us what the article was going to be. I found out on Sunday that we won cutest couples of Coachella. Talk about awkward. This is actually my brother...

Music- Girl Talk, I love this album.

Slip/ SUn Thrift, Jacket/ Rokit, Shoes/ UNIF

$up,
This is the last picture from my shoot with Tish Jarrett. I think these are my favorite. I really like the light bleed. I love those kinds of things in pictures, but of course they always look better when your not expecting it to happen.

I got this jacket at Rokit, in shorditch. I really do like that store, but sometimes I wonder how much of the stuff is actually vintage. On sunday a friend and I went into a "Vintage" shop and I swear that they were trying to sell fake vintage at vintage prices. I could tell by the material that was used to make the garment. Frustrating. This slip (that you can hardly see) is from Sun Thrift. For a while I was really into slips, and wearing them as a dress. I think that kind of stuff is really cool because its supposed to be your underwear and your kind of fighting the power and wearing them outside without anything over it. I don't think its such a big deal anymore as it would have been if you did it in the 50s or 60s, but I kind of wish it was. I love shocking clothing. These shoes are my favorite. If you have been a fan of my blog for a while you have seen me post about wanting these shoes for practically all of 2013. I got them for christmas, and I do wear them a lot, but I never get pictures of it. NOW I HAVE SOME!

How awesome is this skirt. I have worn it before for my blog, so it may look a bit familiar. I love it. It reminds me of a bad 90s screen saver for a computer. I love shit like that, I think it's funny. I found this and my top at Sun Thrift. I was really lucky to find this shirt. It was for a rather large person, I think, so I took it in and now its a cute little crop top. The shoes are UNIF and definitely one of my favorites. This picture was also shot by the lovely Tish Jarrett, who shot the pictures in the last post. This was probably the portion that reeked the most of piss, but I don't really think my face conveys how bad it smelled.

Music- I'm aquarius, Metronomy

One Piece/ Omaya Vintage, Shoes/ UNIF

$up,
I had my hand in on Monday, so this week has been super lax and boring. I am supposed to write an essay on the history of skate culture as a sub-culture, but I am really at a loss on how to start it. I'll take a couple more days to think about it I guess...

I got to do a shoot with the lovely Tish Jarrett. I have shot with her before, in october. I love her work. We went to this graffiti tunnel by the waterloo tube station. It smelled like piss and paint, but it looked really cool. Thats something I really do love about London (not the piss smell), but the fact that graffiti is celebrated and it isn't really vandalism, it's art. The weather has been pretty decent recently, so I've been able to wear my "cool" clothing (sew stoked). I got this one piece from Omaya Vintage in Paris for about 5 euros. It was such a wonderful find, and I am so excited that I got it. I am usually not one for shoulder pads, but for some odd reason, I love them in this suit. The shoes are from UNIF. They are slaying the shoe game as of late. I love to wear my hair like this, but I always get really weird looks when I do it. I don't really mind it though. I get weird looks every day of my life.
