leather
Nbd just 80 degrees yesterday. I know, I know. I shouldn't be complaining while the rest of the country freezes but seriously? 80 at the end of November??! Only in LA. Got a new little swing dress from Reformation appropriate for this heat. Super comfy and it'll (hopefully) be the perfect layer over sheer black tights if it ever cools down. Obvi added my favorite leather jacket for evening breezes. Will probably wear this dress tomorrow for Thanksgiving bc it's the ultimate food baby concealer. #realtalk
If you've been following my blog/instagram/tumblr for any extended period of time you know how much I love leather. Jackets, bags, bralettes and my latest leather obsession: pull on, athletically-inspired shorts. This little pair of vegan leather "soccer shorts" by lovers + friends are my new favorite. Slouchy pockets with cool perforated detailing makes these the perfect alternative to denim cut offs for cooler summer days.
In the last of my series with Laer I played around in their Classic Moto Jacket in white. Slightly oversized, silver hardware and a slouchy, broken-in feel this jacket is THE one for spring. Looks a little less hardcore for day as a twist on the classic black LJ. Don't let the white fool you, still throwin' hella goth vibes by keeping the rest of the look black on black. Sup, Spring?!?!

I was able to stop by the Laer HQ last week in LA to peep their rad collection and play around for a few hours. For the first look of my Laer x Fire on the Head collab, I paired the perfect black moto jacket over a silky jersey tank and structured high waisted shorts...because that's the only way to rock an LJ in 80 degrees. Laer on Laer on Laer foreva. More from this collab coming soon...

Oh haaaay, the editorial I shot with the ultimate babe team at Chuck's Vintage last Tuesday is already up on Live Fast Mag! Had an amazing day running around barefoot in beautiful NOE Undergarments lingerie and the best vintage pieces. Dodged cops to skate across Melrose Ave, climbed dirty roofs, broke into an abandoned house, pretended I knew how to play a fifty pound banjo and got hollered at from a TMZ tour van. Also, dirty foot game was STRONG that day. #dirtyfeetandlingerie

If you haven't noticed, black and denim are kinda my "ish," and have been for a hot minute. Lately I've been breaking up my usual goth parade by throwing in brown and gold accents. I really love how brown adds cool factor and keeps an all-black-errythang outfit from looking like I belong on AHS. Although I'm a jeans and tee kinda girl, I've really been into button ups as of late. This black cotton shirt from American Eagle is just as comfy as a tee but adds some sophisticated oomph. A chunky brown leather belt and slouchy suede tote easily makes this outfit more spring appropriate. Strappy heeled sandals paired with ripped knee skinnies, both cool girl coset essentials, look hells-cool when pulled together with a pair of classic sunnies, messy bedhead and knuckles full of gold midi-rings. Excuse me while I wear variations of this outfit for the next year and a half. Hey, no judgments. I titled it "uniform" for a reason!

Been stalking 10th tribe on instagram for months now and finally got my hands on the "Crawford," AKA the softest, most perfect tank top. Ever, forever. 10th tribe's play on the jersey style trend pays homage to three iconic muses; Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss and Edie Sedgwick. They look like simple tanks from the front but cool girl back graphics add a little somethin-somethin. I paired the Crawford with my favorite suede leather skirt and tied a studded skinny belt into a knot round my waist. Threw my hair up into a messy top knot for maximum Crawford effect.

Yesterday kicked off finals week (hashtag dead) soooooo I'm basically a sleep-deprived zombie. I've had my hair in a top knot for the past four days and in all honesty, it will probably stay up until my last exam on Friday. Although I'm putting zero effort into my hair this week, I refuse to succumb to the nationwide phenomenon that is the finals week uniform of sweats and a book store graphic. Instead, today I'm wearing a comfy baseball tee from American Eagle with my favorite suede leather skirt. Threw my Levis jacket on with a pair of gold accented sunnies for a look that's just as cool in the library as it is on the street.
