in the footsteps of dawn

Wearing | blouse c/o Mickey's Girl • skirt c/o Pretty Sunday • hat c/o Romwe • Levi's belt • Stuart Weitzman wedges

In lieu of talking about my subconscious memorization of Led Zep lyrics and waking up during ungodly hours of the day (early morning before my day unfolds is seriously the only window of spare time I'm able to take outfit photos lately!), I'll keep this short and sweet: How cute is this blouse from Mickey's Girl?! I may just even wear it out until it shreds to pieces. And there's something about yellow skirts that makes me so happy—maybe because they remind me of lightweight days in the summer and glistening nights with no other duty than taking off my shoes and twirling around barefoot.

the world's a playground

Wearing | blouse c/o No Rest for Bridget • necklace c/o Romwe • skirt c/o 2020AVE (previously worn here) • Born Crown wedges

As the sun comes out the blanket of white, there isn't much space left for gloomy thoughts to hide by the time noon kicks in. But I like to think I'm cheering cloudy mornings up by dressing opposite of how the weather feels.

peep this

Happy President's Day! You may remember a post I wrote about about aSociete a little over a month ago... if not, they're a flash sale site offering amazing brands such as Laugh Cry Repeat, Gentle Fawn, and TLH from 50% up to 80% off. For the next eight days, they will be featuring my looks on their site and you will be able to purchase the pieces I've worn from them for dirt cheaper than the original retail price.

blush wine

Wearing | Lush top • pleated shorts c/o No Rest for Bridget • Frenchi suede cardigan • hat c/o Romwe

This week has been soft lights and Caramel deLites, calm February breezes and lush green leaves fluttering gently, sun-reflected waters shimmering like a million diamonds after a short rainfall, dusky shadows and perfect amount of sunbeam through my sheer white curtains, mellow music, and plenty of time to dream... While it may be post Valentine's Day, I'm still in a state of pure romance—very much in love with the color and sheen of these shorts, so reminiscent of blush wine. Hope you all have an impossibly lovely weekend! xx

spring things

Chanel chain cuff + Chloé shoulder bag + Kaelen Luanna accordion pleated skirt + YSL "Tribute" heels + Giles dress + Dominic Jones arch pendant necklace + Valérie Egée woven ring + Alexander Wang "Marion" satchel + Guiseppe Zanotti bi-color pumps

With the days shining brighter and sun setting later, my mind turns to one thing: updating my wardrobe for spring! I know this may be a bit of an unrealistic wishlist, but in the words of Oscar Wilde, "Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination." When it comes to spring things, I will always love how nudes and flesh tones present an elegant alternative to the neons and brights of the season. From creamy caramel to soft ivory to ecru and apricot, there's just something about these muted neutrals that's so hard to resist head to toe.

morning glory

Wearing | crochet knit top c/o Sugarlips • cable knit shorts c/o Chicwish • thrifted knit cardigan • Forever 21 paisley headwrap + feather necklace

Donning knit on knit on knit. Sometimes I believe there is a LOL (little old lady) inside of me, one who collects trinkets, drinks too much tea, would rather spend her Sunday mornings at a flea market, hoards gold jewelry and vintage perfume for the sake of it yet hardly wears most of them, but above all, one whose majority of her closet is consisted of all sorts of knitwear. But I can't help but love a big ol' slouchy grandpa cardigan, holey crochet, and cable knit shorts fit for winter to spring transition—and a bright orange paisley headwrap and gold-framed circle sunnies to add to this overall bohemian-inspired look. Not only is a pop of tangerine my go-to lately, but pistachio colors are also making their way into my daily rotation.

dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light

Wearing | blouse c/o Chicwish • skirt c/o Romwe • Prada-inspired sunnies • ASOS socks • Not Rated oxfords

I was so enamored upon receiving my first package from Chicwish, the epitome of vintage-inspired, feminine, and romantic pieces. This dusty rose, poet-sleeved blouse? Talk about sprinkling fairy dust onto your wardrobe! The worst part is, I can't help but daydream about everything from their store...

On another note, congratulations to the winners of my No. A giveaways: Julia, Valerie, and Sara! I'll send you all an e-mail shortly and let you each know which of the three prizes you won! As always, big thank you to everyone who took the time to enter. If you didn't win this time around, don't worry—this blog is a giver.

shoe lust

ASOS, recently, has been drawing me into a shopping lust frenzy with all their sales going on. I often—okay, always—lust over shoes that I can't afford (cough, Prada... cough, Miu Miu). Luckily, ASOS constantly seem to be at the top of their game when it comes to more attainable, yet stylish substitutes! Whether you have a full-blown Carrie Bradshaw type of addiction or not, I’m sure there's a least one pair (or two, or three) in their women's shoes department that will leave you dreaming tonight. I know I will.

the secret pathway

Wearing | No. A scarf • thrifted cardigan • tunic c/o Sugarlips • "Yena" moccasins c/o Le Bunny Bleu

Currently lost in kaleidoscope thoughts and blissfully fueling up on Moroccan mint tea. Lately, it's been beach-like weather and a change of scenery. On every outskirt of my gaze, trees are covered in clusters of fragrant white, blush-tinted blossoms, the first of spring's flowers are brilliantly blooming, and the leaf-covered walls are as green as the grass on the other side. And this scarf matches my thoughts completely—what better way to add a kaleidoscope of color to any outfit than to throw on this statement piece?
