Change is coming...

It's almost time for me to move AND it's almost my favorite time of the year: Fall.

Changing colors, crisp air, my birthday, halloween, and so much pumpkin food mmmmmmmm

Not to mention fall fashion. Summer clothes are cute and all, and I love running around in bikinis but there is nothing like fall fashion. Nothing.

I was going through different look books and had to show you some pictures from Revolve Clothing.


I have recently become obsessed with black maxi dresses and skirts, so of course I freaked out when I saw the sequin black maxi skirt. The best part? It's by Wildfox!? Of course they would make a goth mermaid like skirt. I adore it. Here's hoping it ends up in one of their sample sales *cross my fingers*

I'm also in love with the tight leather looking pants and big sweater combo. The pants are by Anine Bing and you can get both outfits from the Revolve Clothing website. 

You can also check out this hottie rocking leather overalls...which look awesome with no shirt underneath but a little strange with one (see website). 

So obviously being a Wildfox addict and all I had to check out more of their new bottoms. Also on revolve are these babies: 


Which just screams Jessica Rabbit to me ...

Wildfox pants that remind me of a Disney movie? Yes Yes YES

It's not fall JUST yet though. I need to give August a break. I haven't been able to wear my new rainbow bikini as much as I was hoping but when I'm done with work and am living in Long Beach that will all change. This music video reminded me of Hawaii, sunsets, and all things summer (and as you can guess my rainbow bikini ;)  :

Enjoy, relax, and chill xo

Other things I've been inspired by include  the new gatsby movie, and re-reading the book itself. It's one of my all time favorites so I love that all the styles are being re-vamped thanks to the movie (which was an eyegasm and is coming out on DVD and blue ray soon).

I love their hair pieces and I've always been into headbands. Nordstroms carries the brand Cara new york and she has marvelous head bands, including the one I got yesterday:


I look more rocker hippie than gatsby girl, but the silk goes better with summer. I'm looking for a good velvet or wool one for fall that really screams "flapper girl". Comment if you know a good place to find one! Ill let you know when I find a good one too ;) 

Here are some other headbands on my birthday wish list (by Tasha my new headband obsession also at Nordstroms):

Lately I've also been inspired by my dogs:


And the haunted mansion in Disneyland ;) 



Till next time

Racing towards... Wait where am I going again?


Here's AT&T park at field level :) It looks unreal when there's no one there huh?

That whole white part is where the finish line for the Giant Half Marathon was. Sigh, I had so much fun, I love race days...

Before the race though! Saturday I spent the day in walnut creek with Clare. She introduced me to Brandy Melville and I am just loving their basic pieces like this black maxi dress. Perfect to wear under some chunky sweaters this fall ❤

I also got a velvet crop top (I've been trying to get some velvet into my wardrobe for years now and finally found a top I liked!!) and a crystal-bullet shell necklace (mine is a white pink and Clare got a matching purple one). 

Clare left me alone in Barnes and noble for too long... Ended up finding my spirit animal chibiusa ❤ I need to find all my old manga books...


                         ^preach!!


Ok, now for race day!! The shirts they gave us were a really nice running fabric and I loved having my lucky number 13 on the back (it's for the year but whatever).


Kt tape for kk! This stuff is godly I can't tell you enough. If you run, or do anything active but get an injury, use this tape!! You can buy it and see helpful videos here.

Can't take you today :( sorry pup



Made it! 

Ready to go!! We started the race in front of AT&T park...
So many people.

Here is the course that we did. We ran from AT&T park to the golden gate and back. My two favorite things to do during a race are sprinting across the finish line (even if I can't feel my feet)...

And people watching!
Runners ❤ bananas

Bare foot running in sf? Gnarly dude...

Breakfast of champions

We did it!!! Now we have to make some room in our shadow boxes :)


We ate (a lot) at the ramp after the race. Love the speakeasy sign out front, the place is realllllly casual so we weren't embarrassed to be sweaty and gross from the race. You do sit outside though so bring a jacket and order a hot drink if you go!  

I'm almost ready to leave for Southern California. I'm just winding down, finishing up the nanny job and saying goodbye to everyone up here. 

Artsy inspirational post coming up next ;) 

Ciao ciao,
