The Process

white sun dress: asos / cardigan: from my brother's closet / same Chloe 'Susanna' inspired boots from the previous post / oversized clutch: DIY / arty ring inspired ring: ebay


Bonjour babes! Decided to do an outfit of the day video. The idea came from an annoying reality; I had such a stressful time getting shots of this outfit. Thus, "The Process". Make sure you watch in HD!

Heavens To Purgatory

wide-brimmed hat: Tobi / striped button down, vintage pegged jeans: thrifted / Chloe Susanna inspired shoe: boohoo / Alexander Wang inspired bag: vj-style

Sometimes being a blogger means sticking out like a big, sore thumb. Take today for instance. I had what I would consider the most awkward experience I've had so far while out taking photos. Now you have to understand, I don't have a photographer friend to just take cute snaps of me while we're out. I don't pay anyone. I'm outside with my tripod and point-and-shoot camera for these mini-shoots. Anyway, I'm out with my brother earlier taking pictures and someone from a house in the vicinity goes "hey can we take some pictures? We want to take pictures"..............
and then about 10 minutes after that this group of like 6 kids and two adults comes around the corner while I'm in the middle of taking pictures. So I awkwardly meander over to stop the camera from shooting...and they stop...and I look at them waiting for them to go...keep in mind that there is an entire empty street and another sidewalk but for some reason they had no idea where or when to go...then a second later my brother lets them know they can go. I know it's not a huge deal and I don't think it is, but god what I would do (sometimes) to be a big fish in a bigger pond.

Dress Me Up, Dress Me Down

moto jacket, croc shorts: Forever 21 / neon sweater: thrifted / shoes: given to me by a friend, Converse / mirrored sunglasses: ebay
And this outfit's slightly more casual counterpart:
Noticed these shorts on Forever 21's site and almost passed out! The price was crazy amazing for this style so I ordered immediately. These shorts are also extremely similar to these Alexander Wang beauties. You might notice, if you follow me on Tumblr, that I am slightly obsessed with most anything Alexander Wang so expect to see these a lot! Hahaha.

Some quick updates: It's spring! This winter sucked (and sort of continues to) so hopefully it'll get warmer soon. Today actually wasn't too bad out, especially to be wearing shorts outside. *crosses fingers*
Anyway, along with warmer weather expect to see more outfit posts at the brick building! (The last place was a struggle.) Expect to see more everything posts, in fact. Inspiration, DIYs, Youtube videos galore!
