Sea World

I took these pictures while at Sea World. It was such a fun day, and now that I have a free summer pass I expect to be going back soon!

Sand and Waves

We went to the beach to enjoy the sun and water.... but I think I "enjoyed" the sun a little too much. I woke up the next day with the worst sunburn (nothing a little aloe vera can't cure). Still, it was such a lovely day and I hope there are many more to come before the summer is over. My straw beach hat just hasn't gotten enough use yet!

Del Mar Fair

I finally got around to posting these pics! Let me just recap my day at the fair...

1.) I lost wayyy too much money on the carnival games, trying to win a stupid stuffed banana

2.) I was a bit disgusted by the size and selection of food (chocolate covered bacon, deep fried butter? seriously?)

3.) I didn't ride any rides, because I don't trust anything that arrives on a truck and is assembled in one day

4.) I got a sweet Henna Tattoo from a crazy gypsy woman

5.) I went home a very happy girl

Circus Circus

(Model: Paulina M, Stylists: Jess Monterde and Laia Porta, Photographer: Agustina Rodriguez)

I love the styling in these photos... and even more I love the twisted, bohemian carnival aesthetic. I recently went to the Del Mar Fair, further fueling my obsession with the traveling circus. I will post those pictures later, but for now enjoy these from the Argentinian magazine, Libertarian Mag.

One of the many things I love about summer time is... the music! Music festival season is in full swing. Now that I am a working woman, I unfortunately don't have much time to galavant off to muddy fields in the middle of nowhere and shake my hair with a bunch of music loving hippies.... but I was lucky enough to attend Coachella a few months back. I know it may be late, but here are some pics from the wonderful weekend.

Summer Heat

Oh how I long for hot summer days like these. These photos make me miss the Arizona heat, but everyone keeps assuring me that San Diego does indeed get warm in the summer. It seems the last few weeks have been nothing but cloudy and chilly. boo. Where are you sunshine?

Proenza Schouler

The Fall 2010 collection cemented Proenza Schouler in my list of favorite designers. A relatively young label, only started in 2002, designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough have quickly made a name for themselves in the fashion world. I love everything about this collection. It is full of bold geometric tribal prints, feminine frocks with an edgy twist, and with many designers sticking to neutral tones for spring, it was refreshing to see a lovely color palette of deep greens and blues. xoxo

Spring Fever!

I was just looking through some pictures from last Spring/Summer, and I realized that I have a terrible case of Spring Fever. It is still snowing and cold here in Utah, and I want nothing more than to have a Sunday picnic at the park, or to ride my bike around town basking in the warmth of the sun. The worst part is... the stores are filled with the MOST ADORABLE spring pieces! And yet, I am stuck in my parka and scarves. Boo hoo!

Always Sunny In Phoenix

My wonderful BF! (and part time blog photographer ;-)

Shorts: F21, Tights: Nordstrom, Shoes: F21, Blouse: F21, Necklace: Urban Outfitters

I love Arizona... nice weather all year round. It made me realize how much I miss the sun, and how crazy I am for spring to be here. I am getting tired of wearing the same old coats and scarves, I am ready for shorts, sandals, and of course, spring florals!!

Appologies!

I know there has been a major lack of posting lately, but I have good reason for it! I am switching my blog over to sequinsandsilk.com. I am thrilled to have more control over the creativity and design of my blog, so it should be up in the next few days. During the wait, I will post a quick preview of the style to come.....!
