Brick House

     Hello world! I'm back from my mini-break. In the past month, I spent 4 weeks in Taiwan visiting relatives (shopping way too much), came back to the States, and moved to a new location in San Francisco. It's been really hectic but I'm happy to say I'm (mostly) settled in and will be posting up my new room as soon as it's all cleaned up!
     Since it's been so busy, I've been dressing cute & comfortable so I'm able to run around town without looking like a hot mess. You can never go wrong with a crop sweater and high waisted pants. I found this cropped sweater in Taiwan for about $3 (hooray for cheap finds) and grabbed it with no hesitation. The pattern looks like bricks and I loved the deep red color. It's definitely one of those throw-on-last-minute sweaters for when you can't find anything to wear. These Brandy Melville jegging pants are really comfortable and have been featured before here

     The pattern was loud enough for minimal accessories. I liked the gold jewelry with the red pattern so I wore three gold rings: a gold band from Charlotte Russe, third eye ring from Taiwan, and bow ring (my current fav) also from Taiwan. Since the sweater was a quarter sleeve, I threw on my gold bangles from Forever 21 so my arms didn't feel so naked. Running around town calls for comfort so these Steve Madden combat boots are always my go-to for busy days like these.

Adventure Time!

Happy New Year everyone! It's officially 2014...I'm really excited for the new year! How about you? 
     It always randomly rains here. It could be sunny one minute and pouring the next- it's super unpredictable. So with this in mind, I definitely used it as my excuse to buy this windbreaker/raincoat outer shell. If you know me, you know I absolutely love Adventure Time; it has such a sense of childhood, humor, and amazing life lessons that are eye opening even though I'm watching as an adult. In Taiwan, there are endless cartoons on clothes and what is trending right now just so happens to be my favorite cartoon (lucky me!)
     This Jake jacket is awesome. The inner kid in me lit up when I saw this piece in Taiwan- I had to have it and it was really meant to be when I found out it was 50% off the original price, bringing my purchase to a total of ~$15 USD. Since it does rain sporadically, I went with these Sperry Topsider rainboots (yes, they make those!) and kept it simple with black 7 For All Mankind and a black Nike sports jacket to keep myself toasty underneath.
Who else loves cartoons?! ;)

Black and yellow, black and yellow!


The ears make the jacket!

Finished with Fiona the Human socks :)
