How Strange It Is to Be Back Home

(Zara Kimono, Ay Not Dead Dress c/o Fabricly, Vintage Boots)

It feels so good to be back in LA! I spent the day just enjoying the weather and going to my favorite restaurants rather than unpacking.

I'm wearing a dress from a line called Ay Not Dead that Fabricly carries. I love the concept of online boutique. It’s very well curated with only a few selected up and coming designers’ clothes showcased and they handle everything from the sourcing of the fabric to creating the lookbooks. I can't wait to see what other brilliant designers they carry!

Taken actually a while ago but I am still loving these pants... gym pants maybe but beats a pair of boring leggings anytime.

I Drooled on My Monitor A Bit..

Photographer Rick Schultz was kind enough to send over these photos of his London flat that he shares with his partner and interior designer Jimmie Karlsson so I can share with you all.

I was speechless at first and it took awhile to take it all in because I absolutely love everything in this flat!

How amazing are the dark gray walls? It's the perfect backdrop for all the colorful furniture and accessories in their flat. The whole space is very masculine yet also very sexy and fun and I love how different this is and how everything is quite unexpected.

So curious what Rick and Jimmie are like in person because I have a feeling that they are extremely sexy and stylish!

Definitely head over to their websites (here & here) for more drool worthy pictures!

Yesterday I finally took out my karate jacket that I bought last summer. That's right.. insted of buying a sports inspired one that seems to pop up everywhere I bought a real one from an online sports shop, and I kinda love it. I did take me a year to put it on but I think I might get surprisingly much wear out of it this season...

ps. I listed some of my shoes in the shop!

And congrats to Frida for winning the mtv x gillette style competition! more about it here..

Buckle up thursday

margiela shirt

topshop belt

vintage jeans

zara pumps

Today I wore a super versatile topshop belt that I now want to pair up with everything I own.. it's been ridiculosly cold again so I took out my favorite topshop knit but was still freezing. The added scarf is nothing but a few meters of chiffong, left it with raw edges the way I like it.. so just a few much loved, simple basics to keep me warm that afternoon.

The best part about packing for a move is when you find a bunch of stuff you forgot you had. In this case, it was Wesley Mason's military jacket which he found stuffed into his Apple computer packaging box alongside all of his clothes back from his Abercrombie days. I managed to salvage this one and wore it right away which was two days ago when I went to my school's Spring Show. I was amazed by all the talented people I go to school with. I definitely have a love and hate relationship with my expensive school but I have to say, we do have a lot of talented artists.

If you're in SF, you should def. stop by the AAU Sping Show. Below are some of my favorites.

Oh, PETA Might Just Kill Me

I don't eat any land meat. Not really a vegetarian, but more of a pescatarian. I don't wear real fur (sorry I do own some leather goods) and I'm big on animal rights but, there's just one thing that I badly want... it's a cow hide rug!!!!

There's something so masculine yet sexy about it and adds a little character to any space. I probably will own one or maybe two in our new apartment and people will probably call me a hypocrite but I can't help it. I love cowhide! I'll just not invite people over who might throw eggs at me!
