before & after
tango jacket, f21 shorts, bayo purse, heritage 1981 shirt, shoes from liv boutique, michael kors watch
i'm sad summer is over and i have no idea why wearing white is such a fashion faux pax after labor day so luckily this fun jacket i got years ago was laying in my trunk.. (what a difference it makes!) and even if i'm not one to follow rules all the time, it worked out since it really pulled this outfit together. i got the jacket and this purse in the philippines many years ago and love when you can revisit pieces you haven't worn and make you happy you still kept em..
anyway, speaking of the philippines.. after a relaxing long weekend i arrive at work today and look who's at the studio..
They're here to promote their
show in Tacoma, Seattle this Sunday, September 13th. So if you're a fan of the tv show
WOWOWEE like my mom and grandma check it out.
i don't have a side table so i guess you can say this piece I got from a hospice thrift store for $20 then changed the glass knobs from
anthropologie and repainted pink serves as that purpose. But definitely not a vanity or spot where I apply makeup.. Instead i place a bunch of knick knacks, everyday jewelry, perfumes, and scents- like the
anthousa home fragrance in bougainvillea that fills my bedroom. My photos definitely need to be updated, my favorite color is obvious and yes tulips are my favorite flower.

aside from my
maverick name necklace that's currently on my neck, these are the jewelry i switch off from day to day which includes my new
michael kors gold watch which replaced my
gold timex indiglo, my honeycomb ring I
love that I got in New York, a few funky rings, my prized
rolex with pink oyster pearls, my favorite gold hoops and of course my infamous
betsey johnson pearl dangle earrings I seem to sport with anything and everything. There would be a few more things in here that I've lost along traveling or drunken nights like my pearl studs or my mother of pearl ring that I adored.. but that's ok..

and this is what's inside my bag. since the last time i did a
purse content post i think i lugged around the world. nowadays, i keep it as simple as possible- just the basics- my pink wallet, my iphone, lipstick, gloss, eyeliner, sunglasses and keys. although i will admit, it does suck when i'd like to fit more things into this bad boy but it definitely helps in keeping out the excess shit you don't use. i for one hate bringing things that i don't need and since i'm usually on the go i think i've mastered the art of packing. plus, when shopping, the light-weight-out of your way- feature comes in hand when sifting through clothes or trying things on. i've had this bag for years and it's been a love/hate thing.
a few things i'm wild about...

you'd think wearing flats would save your feet, but note- $34 never been worn shoes from
bakers could only last you so far. and after hours of walking and standing all day at the festival and a blister on my heel later.. i still powered through the night and partied in sf for the first time in ages.
express top, f21 shorts, michael kors shoes, wet seal headband
so i thought the nightlife in sf was dead compared to all the places i've been to lately.. but i had a blast at
harlot,
roe, &
supperclub. and to add to the fun filled day, i ended it with a pizza from
seniore's at my house with my girlfriends and long drunken talks. haha. great times!
