What's up DOC?

HI! 

I literally feel like I fell into a crack in the blogosphere. I had a trip to Houston for dance which was crazy, stressful, amazing, and magical. 

 Anyways, these last few days I have embraced my  inner shopoholic...retail therapy at it's finest. Usually I'm a big culprit for buyers remorse, but when the sale is on sale, I don't hold back. Even though it is fall I can still get away with wearing an open side tank in California. I am craving cold weather! 

I'm most excited about my new Docs...I inherited them from a friend who no longer wears them and I am obsessed!

Rodarte x Opening Ceremony Fall 2011

I am proud to declare my love and mild obsession over this collection. It strikes a perfect balance between everything I look for in clothes...feminine without being too sweet, dark but elegant, romantic, with nods to some nostalgic era you can't quite pinpoint...you get the picture. 

Here is just a glimpse of the 40 image lookbook which you can view here.

Please excuse me while I go start collecting pennies from the couch cushions to foster my dream of affording this.

Fall?

Sometimes I feel like in California the change of season means absolutely nothing. It may be approaching mid November but we still have consistently warm temperatures in the 80's. Some see this as a blessing, but for a lover of layering such as myself its a definite curse. I'll probably be wearing my denim cut-offs until December 1st!

Spooky Part 2

Had a little too much fun with my Halloween look...






Yes I'm crazy. I know.
But I love it :)

Spooky

Happy Halloween!











Hope your holiday was perfectly spooky!
I spent the night with two BFF's (who also happen to be bloggers!)
photos to come :)

Did you dress up for Halloween??

Opening Doors

Top: Vintage, Belt: F21, Shorts: Vintage Levi's, Tights: Target, Boots: Vintage Justin's

Literally and metaphorically speaking, its been an interesting last few months full of doors opening and closing. Life is about to change as I know it, which is scary always, even if the change is most likely for the better. It's been a lot to balance and figure out but I'm feeling optimistic.

end philosophical ramblings.

P.S. Meet my new puppy! His name is Freddy and we rescued him. We think he is a St. Bernard/Great Dane/Boxer mix.

Last week I got my hair done for the first time in awhile and decided to go more red. It was kind of a last minute idea but I love the way it turned out! I'm definitely not one of those people who get's attached to a hairstyle. Instead, every few months or so I get antsy and have to try something new.

These photos are from last Friday...today has actually been much less glamorous. I got all four of my wisdom teeth out today, so I am confined to the couch and an all liquid diet for the next few days. Should lead to some extensive blog reading and online shopping, so feel free to leave links to your all time favorite blogs (other than your own, I'll check that out too ;) and online stores so I can stay entertained!

Everything's coming up roses

Last week, Sasha (Black n' Gold a la Mode) and I attended the Rose Bowl Flea Market in search of vintage treasures. It was totally overwhelming but so much fun to wander aisle after aisle of vintage and antique booths looking for deals and rare pieces. We even managed some haggling, which we were both a bit nervous to attempt. This outfit shows two of my favorite finds, the high-waisted denim skirt and the purple leather boots. After I discovered and fell in love with Purple Jeffrey Campbell Lita's only to find they were sold out, I was determined to find some kind of alternative. These new boots definitely fill the void.

Theodora Vintage!

Here it is, the secret project I've been hinting at over the last few posts!

Theodora Vintage

Sasha (of Black n' Gold a la Mode) and I have been working day and night to bring you our very own online vintage boutique filled with wardrobe treasures! Now the store won't be open till September 20th, but to until then we have a lookbook showcasing many of the items that will be for sale.

I Heart Blogging

It's kind of tough getting back into the swing of blogging, since I haven't been able to post as consistently as I'd like for quite awhile. But finally, I have some time to catch up on all the news and updates I've missed.

First up, how awesome are the clothes and styling for the I Heart Ronson Fall 2010 collection? The styling is on par with her regular ready-to-wear collection, while we all know the individual pieces are mad affordable. Particularly I am loving the long layers on top paired with short skirts and layering tights over heels. Plus this further promotes my obsession with leopard shoes
(the only for of leopard I seem to tolerate, but that's another post.)

Check it out for yourself, will you be storming Macy's to nab some pieces this fall?
