Vacation Dreamin'

I made a couple of collages for some pieces that are currently on my wishlist--outfits that I would wear for "springtime" here in San Francisco. Unfortunately, not pictured would be tights, sweaters, and a coat because let's face it. It's always the same lower 60 degree temperature year-round--which is the reason why I love living in the Bay Area. It's the perfect environment for becoming an expert at layering. 

I've been experiencing a bit of a wanderlust lately. I've seen pictures of my friends traveling to various places around the world. I haven't been on a proper vacation in such a long time that I think I may have forgotten how to have fun outside of work and school. I'm hoping to plan a trip this summer to get away from the City-life for a bit. Hopefully it comes to fruition! 

Making these collages showed me that I am loving anything with a pale pink color. I never used to like the color pink before because most "pink" items were the gaudy hot pink shade reminiscent of Barbie's plastic shoes, but when paired with darker accessories (to ground the outfit) or objects in the similar pastel neutral shades--it really works! Now I want fill my closet with more items in this dreamy shade.

I am so excited for Winter and all the upcoming Holiday parties/get-togethers. I guess it's just a chance for me to wear sequins and other ridiculous sparkly accessories (TIGHTS! BOWS! EEP!) that people would normally look at me funny for. Oh well. Here are some current songs that have been stuck in my head lately that I would play for any Holiday party. Cheers!

Veronica Falls -- Teenage La Sera -- I Can't Keep You in My Mind

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.
