unintentional flamenco vibes

blouse  vintage

skirt  suno

Freshly cut hairs and a glimpse into my guest room, which I haven't yet shared photos of because it has quickly turned into a massive second closet / office. The embroideries on the wall all belong to my boyfriend, who has quite a thing for flowers, boats and birds. The little framed number resting on the fireplace to my right says "Clarity is Such a Fucking Rarity" and was a birthday gift from me to him based on lyrics to an old rap song he wrote. Oh, and my outfit wasn't intended to be a nod to flamenco dancing but those sleeves don't lie.

falling into place

A few photos of the main living area in my apartment, which I'm still rearranging constantly because I can't help myself. It feels mostly complete, and definitely cozy. The new chartreuse velvet couch was won at an Anthropologie silent auction last week and makes a good buddy for my other velvet couch. Is there such a thing as too much velvet? Maybe don't answer that. Now I just need a few more giant plants in here and I'll be good!

This is the first pair of actual jeans that I've worn in years. A funny moment indeed, but naturally I picked a pair covered in weird flowers. I'm certainly not going to become a denim convert any time soon, but I must say these are a fine (albeit surprising) addition to the wardrobe, and I find myself gravitating towards the more ripped up boyfriend style jeans when making outfits at work. Something a bit different for a change.

This 1960's I. Magnin blouse is one of the best things I've ever seen, and I don't say that lightly. Those sheer sleeves! Those embroidered daisies! That collar! This magical piece was sent to me by the adorable Whitney who owns a shop in LA called Myrtle that I'm still dying to visit. She is also constantly posting perfect outfits and photos of indie designer pieces on the shop's Instagram, inspiring me to make a little trip south the next time I find myself on the west coast. In the meantime I will be thoroughly enjoying this dream blouse and wishing I could have it in every color.

casual sunday chest bumping

How do two friends who haven't seen each other in months celebrate their reunion? Well, a bit of casual chest bumping in the street of course. I think Emily and I successfully confused a good portion of the folks in my neighborhood (sorry dudes!) with this display of bro affection, but we had a damn fun time doing it.
