The White Pepper

After seeing their beautiful photos all over the tumblr-sphere and pinterest boards, I just had to check out The White Pepper for myself. The White Pepper is a UK boutique that is part of the ASOS marketplace. Their collection is a mix of unique vintage pieces and indie designer originals with handmade detailed items.  The street style fashion photography seen in White Pepper's photos are truly lovely, yet it is styled in a way that is not really common in the United States.  The clothing and accessories seem comfortable, but also bring a certain elevated stylishness for when you're running errands, meeting friends at the park, or simply going for a quick bike ride. I've had my eye on a couple of pieces from their boutique, so I'll check back once I've purchased/received something. Make sure to take a look at White Pepper's Boutique!

From Where I Stand

One of the things that I love about San Francisco is the easy access to public transportation. I used to live in San Diego which was beautiful, but I disliked the fact that everything was so far apart that the car became a necessity.  While waiting for MUNI to arrive, I usually try to pass the time and take a photo from where I am standing. The below photos are the result of waiting for MUNI:

 

 

 

 

Summa Summa Summertime

I am absolutely smitten with Esther (via Esther From the Sticks) and her beautiful vintage-inspired swimsuit creation. I've been looking for a nice swim suit that shows off just the right amount of skin and this suit would be perfect. The detailing of the black buttons down the front adds the perfect flair to the suit. I can't wait for Esther to open up her etsy shop, but until then make sure to check out her blog and other sewing creations here.

Instagram Round-Up

Here are a couple of photos that I've taken on my Instagram recently.  It's mostly filled of pictures of my grumpy pig dog that thinks himself the champion sleeper of pugs. (16 hours a day seems to be the average) Follow me on instagram here.

Favorite black floral headband that Pig dog ate one of the flowers off so I had to sew it onto another band to salvage it.    :(

Found this record while  thrifting in Niles. Crazy.
