Farewell New York!


I'm back from my vacation to the East Coast! I am a bit sad that I had to end my vacation a bit earlier than Z's (he is still there right now and I already miss him) because I start classes tomorrow. We traveled to New York, drove to Ocean City, Maryland and then spent the day in Washington, DC. I've taken some photos on my instagram, but still have to develop the rolls of film I took this week. It will be exciting to see how those rolls come out!  I'll write a longer blog post soon, but right now I'm off to run some errands before my sister visits me this weekend to drop off my beloved pig dog, Finnegan.

Finally finished packing late last night! I think I have a problem with over packing, but come on! I really do need to bring 15+ dresses with me... I think it's better to be prepared for anything, right? Leaving for a mini East Coast vacation. BRB in 2 weeks, ya'll.

Blue Angel

Outfit Details:
Angel Blue Dress // The White Pepper
Tights // ASOS
Woven Oxford Flats // Etsy
Vintage Market Bag // Etsy
Sunglasses // H&M
Black Opal Ring // H&M

I received this Angel dress from The White Pepper a couple of weeks ago after oohing and aahhing over their clothing in my past blog post.  The dress is really comfortable and easy to throw on when you just want to get out the door. The elastic in the bell-sleeves allow me to push them up when I'm doing something which is pretty convenient. If I could, I would make this dress into my uniform because you can dress up / dress down the look due to the simplicity of the dress' design. I just wish that it did not wrinkle so easily because I absolutely hate ironing! I plan on taking it with me on vacation because I think it will be the perfect beach cover up for Z and I's vacation coming up in...whoa...2 days! I'm pretty excited to leave for our trip! We'll be visiting New York, Philadelphia, and Maryland. Does any one have recommendations on places to check out or restaurants to eat at?

Summer & Fall

Here are some videos that have caught my eye recently. One is a song that makes me want to chill by the pool drinking some fruity drink and the other makes me want to cut my bangs and chop off my mermaid hair for the perfect 60's hair-do.

Z and I decided to explore the other side of the bay bridge a couple of weekends ago while the weather was warm and sunny. I had never seen the UC Berkeley campus before, so I asked Z to be my tour guide to show me the sights of this cute little college area. We walked through the campus and right away the early 20th century architecture of the buildings took my breath away. I wish I had the chance as an undergrad to attend a lecture in one of these beautifully constructed halls. There were so many squirrels scurrying around...one even decided to photo bomb the photo I took of Z! After wandering around campus for a while, we went to MARS vintage and I found the cutest 60's shift dress with a white peter pan collar and ruffle detail. I promise to take pictures of the dress soon after I alter the hem! After vintage shopping for me, we went to Amoeba records and spent the remaining afternoon perusing records and trying to decide what we wanted to add to our vinyl collection. Coffee, vinyl, and vintage...kind of cliché but definitely a nice way to end the weekend.
