Dress. Pants.

tie-dye kimono: zara | crop top: ecote | jeans: random, old | fringe booties: jeffrey campbell (old) | necklace: jewelmint | hat: midnorth mercantile

woke up this morning and decided i miss summer, which prompted me to put on this tie dye kimono/dress that is usually reserved for wearing over a bikini. in place of said bikini, instead are pants. coincidentally enough, manrepeller had similar thoughts about her wardrobe today. 

and yes i am aware, i am a very messy person. love it or leave it b.

open at the close.

you will walk differently alone, dear, through a thicker atmosphere, forcing your way through the shadows of chairs, through the dripping smoke of funnels. you will feel your own reflection sliding along the eyes of those who look at you. you are no longer insulated; but i suppose you must touch life in order to spring from it.

so it turns out that consuming various types of alcohol (from wine to hot punch) is probably not a good idea before attempting to carve pumpkins. that's what happened last week and this sad attempt at a "glitter pumpkin" is the result. though, i don't know that choosing sobriety before carving would've helped the chances of this pumpkin looking any better than this.

for a great friend of mine - sending you strength, solace and love: 

nothing is ever really lost to us, as long as we remember it. <3

bey's in the trap! the trap being a poolhouse. this really makes me miss: my 'fro, summer and my tan. well, i think the tan is permanent, but nonetheless everything else has abandoned me.

though, i do have to say the bidding farewell summer makes me kinda stoked for christmas. if i could have it my way, we would have a hogwarts christmas year-round - complete with figgy pudding, butter beer and chocolate frogs. #potterazzi for life. for those who do not know what a hogwarts christmas entails, i have provided a visual below. isn't it magical?

my old roomie pointed out that i am on my phone in every picture in this post. excuse my manners, this was not actually supposed to be a blogpost. michael was merely using me as an object to photograph while location-scouting for an actual photoshoot. apparently, when shot as a prop, i end up looking great. michael said it best, "i don't know how you managed to look so good in here." #witch

Sweater Weather.

favorite segments from this year's glamorama were hands down weekend maxmara, rachel x rachel roy and tommy hilfiger. weekend had the best presentation complete with a faux rainstorm, rachel roy is easily the most fashion-forward + wearable right off the runway and tommy hilfiger's classic all-american styling i just can't help but appreciate. a little prep in the fall never hurts (cue alicia silverstone in clueless).

cirque du soleil never disappoints with their crazy acrobatic feats, but i also enjoyed the glow-in-the-dark breakdancers because i'm a 90's chic. and of course, ageless sheryl crow - whose signature rocker chic look never seems to go out of style. the cutie that stole the show though, was yvonne - this year's glamorama ambassador. oh and did i mention, cancer survivor, aspiring gymnast/dancer and just all-around amazing little gal? can't wait for next year's - i'm always up for fashion with a cause.

and this wouldn't be complete w/o a #wiw.
