Both Your Hands in the Holes of My Sweater

Recent photoshoot my sister and I did when I was home a few weeks (or was it months?) ago. Man, time sure flies...

Anyway, we have an extensive collection of vintage sweaters, so we're both excited that it's finally time for sweater weather!

Random Throwback... Even though it's not Thursday.

I could've sworn that I already uploaded this pic along with a few others. However, I couldn't find them in the archives. Which means I either accidentally deleted them, or actually did not ever upload. Hmm. If I already did upload, my apologies. I'll keep it short. Here's me sort of reading a magazine.

Christmas! ♥

I found these as I was searching through the blog folder the other day. The Christmas tree kind of dates this, so I'll confess: this was the outfit I wore on Christmas at the family celebration. We went to our Grandma's house and ate, talked, hung out, and had a genuinely merry time with all the cousins. Super late posting, I know, but enjoy anyway ;)

My lovely Free People Velvet Skinnies have since ripped (one leg, horizontally--like shorts) which makes me very put out. >:( I'll have to lug out the sewing machine when I have time. Which, considering all the homework I still have (second semester seniors with no work? That's a myth at my school) will be never. Also, I need black thread. Things to do. Sigh. 

Popomomo and Other Great Things

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, guys, I really am. But I do have very good excuses reasons why I haven't been posting (in no particular order):
1) College apps
2) School
    a) Econ homework

    b) AP English Hamlet (and now A Prayer for Owen Meany) to read (both of which are amazing)
    c) Other altos not singing in Choir to complain about

    d) Journalism articles to write (3)

    e) Mock Trial to prepare for in Law and Society

    f) AP Stats homework+notes+tests and quizzes
3) Rainy weather
4) Repetitive outfits
5) Restriction of camera usage

Anyway, the point of this post: even though I haven't been posting much of my style, I still have time to admire others'. Without further adieu, here are a few pieces I'd love to add to my wardrobe.

First up, some super amazing pieces from the shop Popomomo--short for Post-postmodernism movement. Sophisticated and intelligent-sounding already, right? Even better, all of their clothing is made in LA of sustainable fabrics. I fell for the gorgeous and intriguing prints in great fabrics such as silk and organic cotton, combined with the classic or classic-with-a-twist silhouettes. (The sale prices didn't hurt, either.)

Popomomo Girl Shirt-$128-40% off

Popomomo Bluster Bomber-$128-40% off

Those pieces are definitely difficult to beat, but this dress is pretty gorgeous as well:

Last Dance Slip-$280

Christmas and my birthday (New Year's) are coming up, but for now, these are all out of my price range. :( A girl can dream, though! Sigh...

Cheap Cheats: Half-Sheer Buttondown

I actually first saw the cheaper version of this shirt at Nordstrom BP., then noticed that Free People made one exactly like it, but more expensive.

Free People Sheer Buttondown Tunic-$118

Lush Sheer Panel High Low Shirt-originally $48, on sale for $23.90

Be right back, time to convince my parents to buy me the Nordstrom BP. one. ;)

Falling for Autumn

This is going to be a really quick post, since I already posted earlier today and I should actually start my homework since I just finished watching Revolution. :) Anyway, I was browsing the Madewell website and saw this adorable Jolie Shoe Clip. I think it'd be totally awesome to wear as a bowtie instead though; the leather would add a subtle tough edge.

Jolie Shoe Clip-orig. $14.00, sale price $4.99 

(+additional 25% off with code YIPPEE)

Perhaps paired with this buttondown and a pair of burgundy/oxblood pants perfect for fall. ;D

Vince Camuto Contrast Trim Blouse (sold out but similar @Free People)

Sofia Capri in Velvet Cherry from Lucky Brand Jeans. On me they're ankle length... also, they're less grape, more dark cranberry in person.

And now all I need is a pair of smoking slippers to complete that nice fall look. These would be lovely.

Matiko 'Lana' Flat-$139.99

 Somehow, however, I don't think I'll be buying those shoes anytime soon. Sigh. A girl can dream, huh?

Andy Warhol's 50th Anniversary Campbell's Soup Cans at Target! I want to buy one of each color just to  hoard them in my pantry, take pictures of/with them, and basically admire them for the rest of time.

Plaid to Meet You

Okay, bad pun. Anyway, this was one of my outfits from a couple weeks back; apparently it was cool enough to wear that day. I can't wait for more fall weather since I absolutely love layering buttondowns and sweaters. 

Me being a dork, as per usual. Ignore the conspicuous lens cap on the arm of the sofa. =__=
