True Religion

I lied! I was able to squeeze in a quick photoshoot of what I wore to work today before rushing off to model/designer fittings for Envision. I sometimes think my best outfits are conceptualized during groggy mornings before work when I am hastily trying to throw together something appropriate with a little bit of a punch for good measure. I'm wearing some newly acquired pieces gifted by some of my besties - the vest from Mel (perfect for adding a little interest to any outfit) & the pumps from Stephy (going to pair these with EVERYTHING <3). These were taken by my friend Dan at Cathedral Hill, isn't it beautiful here? Enjoy! xxo.

PS. I'm totally struggling with my hair, my scarf and trying not to get lipstick on my face - so windy today!

Color Blockage

I saw lots of beautiful, bold color-blocking at the Resort 2012 shows and it inspired me to inject some color into my work wardrobe even though I have to wear a labcoat :( It's what's on the inside that counts, I guess. I picked up these trousers at the SXSW style x where American Apparel held their 3rd annual factory flea market. The lines to get in were insane, but Mina & I snuck in after the rush-- enabling me to score these babies for a fraction of the cost. Makes me miss Austin & all the awesome fashion finds there. Anyway, to finish the look I topped it off with a sleek ponytail and a structured bag. Don't mind the ghetto Latin Kings crown tat on the back (circa my gangster days lol). :/ PS- Charlie made another cameo-- second pic, lower left corner... gotta love her. xxo
