i am crazy for textures. i love mixing heavy knit with light silk and leather and chains. sometimes, i get dressed with textures in mind and other times i happen to glance down and think 'how cool'. here's a little collection of my favorite mixtures of colors and patterns.

i have sort of a hat crush - although i am not the best at wearing them (too hot, too itchy, can't see anything...blah blah blah) but the more i see them popping up in magazines and fashion editorials, the more i wanted to experiment and see if i could in fact make myself a hat person.  i found this lovely maroon hat at forever 21 and decided that for $15 dollars i would start with a floppy felt hat.  I LOVE IT!  i feel so put together and grown up wearing it -- besides the fact that it makes me laugh at the threat of rain (haha, no raindrops on me!).  i would definietly say that a hat is a must have for these next few weeks (even if you do live in southern california...).  tell me what you think!!

hat: maroon felt FOREVER21 - tee: american apparel boatneck - jeans: black true religion - boots: cream modern vintage

how are you guys feeling about hats this season!?!  have to run but happy FRIDAY!!  xx

booty time

i am very excited to announce that i wore boots all day today!  that, in my mind, makes it definitively fall.  it's even supposed to rain on wednesday!  ohh so happy!  along with my boots i pulled out a faux fur vest and because the sun was peeking through - i stuck with my tank-top so i was not a sweaty mess for my first TA session of the quarter.  here are some outfit pics!!  

faux fur vest: F21 - grey tank: LF - black jeans: true religion (via mommy's closet) - brown boots: steve madden (these also sometimes look grey)

duke didn't like the camera...bahaha, at least we match! x
