(nasty gal round sunnies, vintage boys dress shirt, self made floral shorts, UO sparkle socks, miu miu mary jane wedges)

i love this ditsy floral printed fabric i found down the street from my house. i got it for $2 a yard, what a steal. i made these high waisted shorts for a school project with one thing in mind.. cochella. they would be so perfect for the warm weather and its a great substitute for the usual denim short. i added pockets, did a scalloped hem and waistband with 3 rows of topstitching. im crazy in love with it. hopefully i will have time to make a few more things i can bring with me to indio. the miu mius are new. they are surprisingly really hard to walk in. also i just scored these awesome marni rabbit applique cowboy boots. cant wait to show you guys.



ps. i did an interview for disfunkshion magazine. you can check it out here. thank you disfunkshion for the kind words!
