OOTD: I Fly With The Birds

I've always loved birds. I remember one time when I was little and still living in sunny California, my dad and I found a little abandoned baby bird on the side of the road. We brought it home with us and put it in a cage out on our balcony and went to the store to get it some food. However, when we got back home, the door of the cage was open and the baby bird was nowhere to be seen. To this day, I still don't know who or what opened the cage. Maybe, just maybe, the little birdie miraculously opened it himself/herself. Well, that incident made me realize that birds are gentle, delicate creatures that belong in the wild-- free to fly and sing-- not forced to live out their lives cooped up in little metal man-made contraptions. I hope that the little birdie from my childhood is still alive and well, chirping to the sounds of freedom. <3

OBSESSION: Structured Bags

For some odd reason, I am completely in love with boxy bags. Maybe it's the vintage feel that they give off, or maybe it's just the way they feel in my hands. Whatever it is, something about them is just so....perfect. I can probably think of a million spring/summer outfits that would look absolutely amazing with a structured bag as the main accessory. For example, imagine this: a cream lace dress, light brown skinny belt, vintage bronze necklace, cream colored wedges to match the dress, and a boxy brown satchel with bronze hardware to complete the innocent springtime look. Cute, right? Oh and of course, don't forget to use China Glaze's famous nail polish in the shade "For Audrey" to add a splash of blue pastel to the getup.
Below are a few of my favorite bags from the web:

OOTD: What I Wished For

Spring is finally here! And even though it means the start of AP test season and soggy, rainy days here in western Washington, I must admit that I'm rather excited for this season. To me, spring is more than just the end of winter; it is a chance for me to start over and reinvent myself. To me, the year never really starts until leaves being growing, flowers begin blooming, and birds begin singing. I am especially excited for all the amazing fashions that are trending this year: pastels, neons, florals, statement necklaces, etc...
This outfit is the perfect mix of neutrals and color; it reminds me of light pink blossoms blooming from the branches of a cherry blossom tree. Since winter has finally passed, my flirty, frilly, girly side is starting to come out again-- a rebirth of sorts I suppose. What I Wished For
