Who Loves the Sun?

Whatcha Wearing?

Vintage dress from St Vincent de Paul / Vintage cardigan from Crossroads Trading Co

Vintage purse from Beit T'Shuvah Thrift Shop / Sunglasses from Nordstrom

Socks c/o We Love Colors / Cuff from H&M

I took these photos a few weeks ago before going to the farmers market on a Sunday morning, but never got around to posting them! First my cousin and her boyfriend were in town visiting and then Matt and I went to San Francisco, so I haven't really been thinking about the blog much lately. Anyway, these were taken when it was still not quite summery outside yet. Boy has that changed in the past couple of weeks. It's finally summer here in LA! I'll actually be heading off to the beach not long after posting this. Hopefully it's warm enough to get in the water. Fingers crossed!

Summer?

Whatcha Wearing?

Old Navy dress from Goodwill / Hat from Buffalo Exchange

 Boots from Beacon's Closet / Cardigan from Target

I was really excited when I found this great tropical print dress at Goodwill a few weeks ago. It seemed so perfect to wear with sandals for summer. Too bad it still hasn't really been warm enough for a sandals/sundress combo! I decided to make the best of it and style this as I would for spring since that's how it's been feeling lately. I know I shouldn't complain...I'd much rather have this weather than humidity and 95 degrees, but it just doesn't seem like a proper summer when it's in the low 70s every day. 

New in the Etsy Shop!

Mint Strapless Sundress

Velvet and Metallic Bodycon Dress

Dark Tropical Floral Dress

Nude and Cobalt Secretary Dress

I'm finally putting some new stock up over at Fiery Finish Vintage! After six months of letting the shop coast by while working my full-time job, I realized stock is getting low and I need some fresh pieces. Look for more in the weeks to come!

Empire State of Mind

Whatcha Wearing?

Dress from Buffalo Exchange / Tank from American Apparel

Bag from St Vincent de Paul / Hat from Atlantis Attic

Boots from Goodwill / Sunglasses from Nordstrom

When we went to our friends' wedding in Pennsylvania, we flew in and out of NYC so that we would have a couple of days to meet up with friends and just hang out in the city. Our last day there we spent some time in Midtown Manhattan, getting our favorite bagels and just wandering around. I had worked in the area for 6 years, but had never gone inside the main library on 42nd Street (where Ghostbusters was filmed)! It was soooo hot and humid out, so we stepped inside to get some relief in the a/c. It was very interesting, and I wish I had checked it out sooner. It would have been a great place for me to wander around during my lunch breaks...

Fallingwater

Whatcha Wearing?

Vintage dress from a garage sale / Shoes from Target

Vintage clutch from Beacon's Closet / Earrings from Etsy

We were in Western Pennsylvania last weekend for our friends' wedding, and got to visit Fallingwater while there! I've been wanting to see this Frank Lloyd Wright house ever since I studied it in my Modern Architecture class in college, so this was pretty exciting. Unfortunately, you're not allowed to take photos inside while you're on the tour, so all I have are these (pretty amazing) shots of the exterior. If you're ever in the Laurel Highlands area of PA, I highly suggest checking it out.

This outfit is what I wore to the wedding itself, after we returned from our Fallingwater tour. The dress actually has a really cool open back with criss-cross straps. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of that! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to pair this crazy print dress with my rainbow striped wedges. At first I thought it might be a bit too much, with all the patterns and colors, but I think it actually worked out really well. What do you think?

June Gloom Part 2

Whatcha Wearing?

Vintage dress and shoes from St Vincent de Paul

Vintage sweater from Goodwill / Necklace from Etsy

Seersucker is a very summery fabric, so I decided to further combat the June gloomies by making this dress more appropriate for the chillier weather. I think it's a lot of fun with the striped sweater, but the dress is a bit too bulky (you can see it here and here) to layer things over it like this. I'm not totally sure if this outfit was a success! Oh well, you'll never know unless you try it on and find out...

June Gloom

Whatcha Wearing?

Vintage dress and boots from Beacon's Closet

J Crew cardigan and belt from Buffalo Exchange

Tights from We Love Colors

Right now in LA we're being subjected to a phenomenon known as June Gloom. If you've never heard of it before, it's exactly what it sounds like, and it's giving me a serious case of the June gloomies. Because of this I thought it would be a good idea to bust out one of my favorite summer dresses and make it appropriate for the chilly temps we've been having. It's so strange, just last Saturday I was sweating my ass off in above 90 degree temps at Make Music Pasadena, and now I'm wearing tights and a cardigan...
