Oh Brad! Oh Janet!

        Outfit #2 from my NYC Thrifted Haul featuring this vintage graphic t from a thrift store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Can't say I'm not excited to go to the Rio's annual Halloween showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show in this find with maybe some fishnets.

Stopping Traffic

        The finale of our shoot: going to quite literally the middle of the road for a shot. Anything to get "the" shot, right? Anyway, adrenaline rush aside, it was absolutely worth it. 

        With my Urban Outfitters crop top, thrifted trousers, thrifted belt, Old Skool Vans, and Sadie & Sage denim jacket, we took on the streets. You can't see the fear in my eyes, can you?

        Oliva Chan was absolutely amazing to work with, and I am obsessed with the photos she took during this shoot. I can't wait to possibly work with her in the future. Don't forget to check out her work!

        This is the third and final look from my photoshoot with Lindsay Wu! With a new thrifted tshirt, my loose and comfy Uniqlo jeans, topped with my hand-me-down vintage Levi's jacket, thrifted belt, and my classic Old Skool Vans. The lightint was so bomb up here at this parking lot, and I felt like I was glowing. After a police car pulled up and stared at us for a couple mins, and then casually drove away, we concluded are mini shoot. I loved each session so much! Had such a fun time, and I hope you guys enjoyed them too.

Oh the Shade

        I think what's best about this look is that everything (except the shoes) are thrifted.

        Two things I've been contemplating buying recently: a leather fanny pack and thin (or narrow?) sunglasses. I've been checking out Forever 21, TopShop, Dolls Kill, Aritzia, the whole works. But the they have always been either overpriced, not quite right, or just sold out. I was about to just bite the bullet and invest in these items full priced, until I wandered into a Value Village and found not only these sun glasses and fanny pack pictured here, but also another pair of retro sunglasses that are rose tinted as well as a black, puffy, goose-down jacket. All for $40. Needless to say I was pretty happy with myself. I wasn't sure how these thinner glasses, meant for the tip of your nose, would look on me with my face shape and odd nose but these two that I got at Value Village look and feel good. Goes to show you should always thrift first, shop second. 

        I also got my nails done (for the first time in many, many years) and I have to say I now understand why it is such a strongly held routine for many woman. I was going to go for a muted grey or mauve, but as soon as I got this bright yellow colour on I truly felt like that bitch. And these glasses definitely contribute to that attitude as well... clearly.

Orange you glad to see me?

     Finals done and over with and somehow I managed to get a summer internship within the first week of semester break. I don't know how, but it happened and I couldn't be more grateful. It's a marketing internship for my hometown and I start next week. I definitely did not anticipate getting a job this early on in the season but it saves a lot of time on job searching and jumpstarts my summer! 

        What's fun about this upcoming job is that I'm going to have to invest in business-casual pieces that are fit and wearable for the hot summer. I'm thinking linen trousers, long and loose cotton shorts, and sleeveless button-ups and blouses that are still my style and make me feel cute. A shopping trip is soon to come, along with it a haul and lookbook!

        This look is obviously not business casual- at least with the cropped sweater. I've been wanting to pull out these white Oak + Fort jeans for a while. The weather we're experiencing is lovely- sunny and mild, and these jeans are perfect for running errands while perhaps facing air conditioning indoors but the beautiful sun outdoors. I will definitely wear these to my new job, I think with their colour and cut that they can be dressed up to a level of business casual.

        I wanted to keep this look simple with a splash of colour, and this DIY thrifted Reebok adds the perfect touch. Throw on some Vans and you're good to go.
