wardrobe revisions

It's safe to say that I can finally cross out "closet makeover" off my new year's resolutions list. I've been meaning to make some changes to that little cramped nook for quite some time. It was in dire need of a bright face-lift. Surprisingly, a lot can be accomplished with a can of paint, brush, hammer and some monstrous nails. It took a measly two days for this mini renovation - only to find out that I am now officially obsessed with white-painted wood floors. I'm so tempted to whip out the brush and paint my entire room floor this tranquil shade, but my boyfriend's not too keen on the idea and fears that it might make our room feel like a psych ward. He might have a point but all I can envision is something purely zen-like. Here I decided to play "Selby" and take some snaps of my closet space. :)

As if these photos couldn't get more random...but perhaps consider this my photo collage of current little fashion loves that recently entered my life coupled with the new paint job to my "humble abode." First off, I can't stress enough about how much I'm idolizing this long-time fabric favorite we all know as crochet. Whenever I'm scouring shops for a quick retail fix I always find some cosmic magnetic pull to this style, whether it be in the form of dresses, frilly blouses, headbands and even swimwear. Next up are my most recent addition, those yummy chiffon platform wedges in the first two photos -- while I sincerely adore the fierce Givenchy wedges to death, these pleasantly satiate my shoe craving without damaging my wallet. Also, they're remarkably comfortable as though I'm walking on chic marshmallows.

Did a fresh new paint job to my crib space with a calming hue of "Greek Villa" white. With the summer heat beating upon us, I felt the need to find another outlet of "cooling down" since the AC wasn't always enough. I posted my room awhile back (check it out here) when it was a bold peacock blue-ish color (inspired by Bradshaw lol). Now I think after several spontaneous paint jobs (and there were MANY), this white hue whispers complete perfection, especially when paired with my classic "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster that I'll cherish for life (thanks to SFGIRLBYBAY).

my cozy crib

at times, during those crazy, head-spinning kind of days, it's sweet to come home and unwind in your own personal space. just thought to share my little cozy sanctuary with you guys. i painted the room a bold and risky peacock blue not too long ago. a little scary at first, but i've grown to love it and the chill aura it gives out. and, as you can also see, i absolutely love scouring flea markets, thrift shops, the ever-so-addicting etsy shop, etc., picking up little one-of-a-kind nic nacs along the way, esp. through my travels. one of my faves is the "Keep Calm And Carry On" poster that I purchased awhile back from sfgirlbybay's etsy shop (thanks again!). at the moment, however, i've been a bit obsessed with collecting fashion mags (current and vintage issues), and soon i'll have a nice little library, oozing of them. whoohoo!

outfit: F21 acid-wash jeans, AA tee, vintage harve benard blazer, H&M lace up booties

much love,
