Why You Actin Spicious?












What I wore to see Spring Breakers... which was AWESOME. I just know that's gonna be the most played out halloween costume this year. Afterwards we went to the Turf Supper Club, a great 1950's make-your-own-steak restaurant and bar. I had a Sneaky Tiki... obviously hawaiian shirts call for mid-century tropical drinks.

Top to Bottom,
Hat - my BF's
Hawaiian Shirt - Thrifted (Salvation Army)

A night in Kensington: My man and I shared a sandwich at Clem's bottle shop, shopped around for great beers, then saw the German movie The Silence at the Ken theater. Highly recommended crime drama!

Newness Lately

My latest purchases. After every winter in which I think that greyscale is the end-all-be-all of my fashion existence, spring comes and I get super excited about colors. whoa. So I got some new crisp white kicks that will go perfect with basically everything, and some sandals, because I donated all mine last fall thinking I would never need them again. I also have succumbed finally to the neon trend, opting for a bandeau that gives just a hint of highlighter under muscle tees. In the center is a floral blazer by Lush, a necessity that will be perfect for nice dinners, Easter brunch, a meeting, etc. Lastly, a crazily marked down Trouve kimono thingy that I know I will be wearing constantly this summer.

My boyfriend was kind enough to give me a bunch of his awesome T-shirts that were too small for him. So like 3 months later now I'm finally doing something with them. I have like 5 more that I don't know what to do with (ideas anyone?). On the left I made one into a crop top tank, the other a classic muscle tee. I have been known to take scissors to all my clothing (sometimes with disastrous results) so I was happy that this time these shirts are wearable!

Peace out beezies

Weekend Fun















This weekend my guy and I decided to have some fun. After an early lunch at Mitch's Seafood, we headed to El Camino for some cockails mexicano. Little did we know Sundays were cray cray there; cool kids and douchebags all in harmony sipping and bobbing their heads to a DJ spinning 80's hits out on the patio. I wore an outfit bearing slightly more skin since the sun has been out lately. Transitioning into spring/summer fashion has been easier than I thought it would be! Later on in the evening we found ourselves at the El Dorado, which was a slow night, perfect for some actual conversation with the excellent bartender. We're excited to head get back to the El D for their spring menu release partay! March 19th- be there or be square geeks!

Sunday Funday Outfit:
Dress- Forever 21
Sweater - Thrifted
Shoes - Abound (Nordstrom Rack)
Hat - via my boyfriend's closet
Sunglasses - Quay eyewear

New Purchases






I've got one of each, something floral, something metallic, something pistachio, and something silky and loose. I've been shopping (aahh bank account problems now!) but it was mostly on a budget. Firstly, the pants and crop top are from Frock You Vintage Boutique here in San Diego. A great little shop that I will have to write up a post about soon. The pants are amazing and remind me of the ones I saw Veda Pierce (Evan Rachel Wood) wear in the Mildred Pierce mini-series (cannot find a photo for the life of me but just watch the series it's amazing). I have no idea how I'm going to style them but I just could not pass them up! The crop is going to be perfect for summer and a great addition to my collection of boring black, white, and grey crop tops. The shoes and the dress are from Nordstrom Rack, and i have already begun wearing the shoes to death! I am planning on wearing the pistachio-colored dress to the Nick Cave concert, with Unif Hellbounds and a deep burgundy lip. Everything here was a steal, cause I'm into that. Nothing over $49 except for the pants, with were $68 (with I feel is so reasonable for amazing condition satin from the '30s!)

lovely!

Concert Date Night















The Allah-Las


We made it a fun date in town with plans to see the Allah-las. We hung out at my apartment, listened to the new Nick Cave album, Push the Sky Away (doesnt Nick Cave's wife look amazing on the cover?!) Went to the ramen bar (Underbelly), then headed to the Casbah for a few surf-garage rock bands and the Allah-las as the headliner. 

Casual Concert outfit: Hawaiian print crop top (thrifted-similar), deep blue jeans (forever 21), mesh knit sweater (Trouve via Nordstrom), bag (forever 21), Litas (Jeffrey Campbell via the Rack).
