(asos sunglasses, faux fur vest from japan, american apparel long sleeve dress, hot topic leopard print skinnies, thrifted lace up shoes)


(diy cut owl tee, vintage denim shorts, ebay lace up boots)






on sunday we went to the huge warehouse thrift shop i mentioned in the previous post. its called san vincente thrift shop (or something like that, i really cant remember) its off broadway off the 5 freeway. ill be sure to post the exact location and store name when i go back again. i made dinh dinh get this adorable little boy's matador jacket cause it wouldnt fit me, but looked so cute on her! i am now on the hunt for something similar in my size.


i am super stoked for coachella this year! me and sarah plan on just hitchhiking there and winging it. we havent gotten tickets yet or found a place to stay yet, but we are going to get in somehow. haha im pretty bummed because we can only go to the saturday and sunday show, but i want to see the ting tings and paul mccartney play on friday so bad! -sigh-
