The Details Shoes

Let's reiterate yet again: holy mother of jesus what i wouldn't give for this pair of Thakoon boots. Sigh and re-sigh.

Printastic

Yep i went there, just call me the pun master. Anyway, let's get to the more important subject at hand here: my brand new Trina Turk print blouse. It's oversized, just how i like everything, it's perfectly slouchy - comfort level at an all-time high due to silk - and it's print perfect. My thought process while purchasing was: it'll look amazing with white jeans, blue jeans and nude or khaki bottoms, as well as any type of cutoff. It can also be dressed up or down (ideal beach cover-up!) Basically, it was a no-brainer.



Get yourself a print blouse, too!

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Taking inspiration from my gal Stephanie, i've decided to document my latest culinary endeavor. I have made these bad boys before and they are absolutely delicious, but the best part is that they are actually healthy (for serious, i am really not kidding) - they don't contain any sugar, egg, flower or butter! I'm not a huge fan of too much sweetness so these are perfect for me - find the recipe here. Every time i've made them i skipped the shredded coconut, added a little extra oatmeal and instead of putting the full canola oil portion, i do half canola, half organic Agave nectar (but you could also use honey). As for the chocolate i've used both Lindt 85% cocoa bar and Scharffen Berger 70% bittersweet bar, but you can use whatever you like, of course. Give them a try for a guilt-free sweet fix.

Bag Lady

As many of you may know already, i'm not really a bag person. I often go bagless and when i do take a purse, it's pretty much always the same one. I haven't bought a bag in roughly 3 years and i think it's time - i recently noticed that my favorite go-with-everything handbag is starting to give, therefore i am now on the handbag market. How A M A Z I N G are these two opions?

On another note, in case you haven't noticed my sidebar, follow my most deepest desired items (!) via the super fun currentlyobsessed.me site. In case you're not familiar with it, it's basically a page where you gather all your coveted items, like a shopable wish list. Is there anything better than that? Anyway, if you like what you see here and want to know about what i would wear (WWHW??*), i would recommend to click on the button and Stalk Me!

Nineties Vocabulary

Every single one of these images is bringing me back to my teen years and i always welcome a trip down memory lane. How amazing does Daria look (big surprise-NOT)? How obsessed are you with the outfit in Steven Meisel's photo (the leather dress)? And who wasn't obsessed with Kurt - and still is (confession: i used to read his biographies over and over and cry every single time)?

The American Vernacular

Which girl doesn't love vintage? Here are some of The American Vernacular's gorgeous pieces. I fell in love with the little white lace number, it fit so perfectly i didn't want to give it back. I could already see myself stage hopping at Coachella in it... The other dress was also an ultra-flattering, fun dress and kind of reminded me of something Drew Barrymore would have worn with Docs and a cardigan back in the 90s. I highly recommend a visit to the site, they have some really great stuff.

Mid-January Mood

Winter really hasn't been felt yet this year, which may explain why all i am visually attracted to are brights and whites? I've also really been into dressing up like a boy recently. Loose-fitting clothes with just a touch femininity is what i'm gravitating toward.



Into this vibe as well? I found some pieces that will help you achieve it:
Prabal Gurung for J.Crew white denim
Balmain button down
Surface to Air button down
J Brand white cutoffs
AG white shorts
3.1 Phillip Lim leather jacket
Madewell jacket
Junya Watanabe breton stripes
Frye boots
Fiorentini + Baker boots
Pratesi backpack
Alexander Wang backpack
Rag & Bone scarf
MiH boy cropped denim
J.Crew chinos
