halloween! saturday, i was a flapper and we started the night at the roger room and ended up at fiesta cantina. i love this bar so much.


sunday, we went to west hollywood for the carnival (insane!) and then sunset blvd. i was a nerd...or if you ask some people, the little boy from up. what was everyone for halloween?!

i know a place where the dead come to life.







thrifted this bag dress that seems to always be wrinkly, even when i iron it over and over...still love it. today i had brunch and lots of pomegranate sangria at taste on melrose. definitely recommend. after we popped into revolve clothing and then a halloween place around the corner...i finally found my costume. the party starts tomorrow. anyone in LA going to the carnival in west hollywood on sunday?

thrifted bag dress, asos curve waterfall cardigan, 8020 boots, kittinhawk feather earrings via gather.

hello from LA.

i've been in LA since wednesday night (not for fffweek, although i am debating on whether to attend as i type this) and it's been so fun and so busy already. yesterday, i went shopping downtown, searched for a halloween costume (with no luck) and went to the roger room, a bar with a speakeasy vibe in west hollywood.

gather located in downtown LA. 7 weeks old and already amazing.

the store had local LA designers, vintage furniture and great jewelry finds.

i picked up the black feather earrings.

favorite boots of all time. they are literally falling apart, but i can't give up on them.


our apt for the week + getting ready for a night out

drinks at the roger room


photos taken in the bathroom of the roger room after too many whiskey/gingers...i had to share.

asos curve dress, thrifted black blazer, free people scarf, topshop boots, nordstrom bracelets and headband.

new season, new things.

i know it's been months since i've blogged, but not for lack of wanting to keep this blog alive. it just took some reminding that what i'm doing isn't pointless. add in all the moving, traveling and schoolwork and i've been as busy as ever. forgive me.

fall is of course my favorite season. i picked up this pumpkin nail polish in honor of the season and i'm not taking it off anytime soon. i love how subtle it is. it's a nice change from the white nail polish i wore all summer.


the asos sale definitely did some damage to my bank account. i adore these.


expect an outfit post with this asos dress soon. it's perfect.


finally, my mac villains collection favorite. black, purple and silver? all good.


also a little in love with eminem's recovery and vanilla vodka + ginger. what are your favorites of the season?

that bridge is on fire.

















faith21 white lace dress, old navy black skinnies, thrifted black blazer, 80%20 hidden wedge boots, f21 gold elephant necklace

i got these boots almost a year ago at akira in chicago and they were so uncomfortable at first, but after breaking them in, i can't take them off. i'm not a huge fan of old navy, but i seem to always be buying jeans there. the reason i'm less than pleased with them is because every time i buy a pair of jeans that fit just right, they end up falling apart within months. such a bummer. i personally love this faith21 dress, but i've had many people say i look like i'm heading to my own wedding. i've also had tons of compliments on it, so i guess you win some and lose some.

and yes, i seriously need to work on accessorizing.
