The Cat's Meow

SHIRT: c/o Miss Patina (similar) PURSE: c/o Pepa Loves SHOES: c/o T.U.K. Footwear

Even though I am not at all ready for Fall, I am excited to bust out the longer sleeves, jewel tones, and knits! I feel like this is a pretty good transitional outfit seeing as Oregon (annoyingly) keeps flip flopping between cold and hot days. I'm positively smitten with this Miss Patina blouse - made out of a super soft material and featuring quite possibly the cutest collar of all time. I mean, it's a cat.I paired it with one too many cat accessories... I just like cute stuff what can I say!

Even though I'm not at all happy it's September (COME BACK TO ME, SPRING/SUMMER), I have some exciting projects and adventures on the horizon - so please stay tuned ♡!

That feeling when you see a bee...

DRESS c/o Dahlia COAT Forever 21 BERET c/o Larmoni CREEPERS c/o T.U.K. Footwear

Finally after years of searching, I have found the perfect faux fur leopard print coat! I remember deciding I needed one as an Edie Sedgwick obsessed 12 year old. She always looked so effortlessly cool in her coat, paired with a stripey top and the most dazzling 60s eye makeup.

I actually found this coat on super sale inside F21, and I'm so pleased with it! I paired it with this precious dress by Dahlia - which I first fell in love with when I met photographer and model Annika White in person this last summer, a definite highlight to a very stressful month! She was wearing it when we met and it looked so, so darling on her. The sheer front overlay, scalloped neckline and sleeves - perfection!

Land Locked Mermaid

MERMAID TANK: c/o Maven Boutique LA SHORTS: c/o Motel Rocks
SHOES: c/o T.U.K. Footwear PURSE: ModCloth (old, similar)

Being associated with mermaids, which I've been obsessed with since childhood, is so exciting to me! People are always directing my attention to mermaid inspired purses, shirts, movies, art, etc - and I love it! I try to dress up as a mermaid whenever possible - and this top by Maven Boutique LA has just made it so much easier!

Available in three colors, the glittering seashells on this tank add the perfect amount of novelty and really dress up what could have been a simple shorts and tee look.

I paired it with my Motel Rocks shorts that have a beautiful sheen, cute pumps by T.U.K. shoes, and my trusty seashell purse I got from ModCloth ages ago!

Now all I need are some cute cartoon underwater creatures for sidekicks...

DRESS: c/o Unique Vintage PURSE: Pepa Loves SHOES: T.U.K. Footwear SUNGLASSES: ASOS
While taking these photos, the sun was shining and then it started raining in a beautiful misty summer rain kind of way...! It was pretty idyllic, and I love how these turned out.

Here I'm wearing a darling black and white gingham dress from Unique Vintage - there is something about summer that makes me want to always dress in gingham, and I love the detailing on the bust!

I paired it with the cutest cat bag from Pepa Loves and beautiful heels from one of my favorite brands, T.U.K. Footwear! I always say these heels remind me of a 40s-meets-70s aesthetic - I love the 40s feel of the peep toes and ankle strap, and the thickness of the ankle strap band and platform feel distinctly 70s...! (I'm kind of a dork when it comes to fashion history, so that type of thing makes me excited hehe)

I hope you are enjoying your summer!

DRESS: c/o Le Bomb Shop SHOES: c/o T.U.K Footwear GLOVES: Vintage Ahh how gorgeous is this Le Bomb Shop dress? The fit and flare silhouette is very 50s, calling to mind Audrey Hepburn's infamous black and white dress in Sabrina, and the striped pattern immediately reminds me of Retro Barbie...! Le Bomb Shop is kind enough to offer 10% off all orders over $50 with code MERMAIDENS - the code expires on 03/05 at midnight!

My wardrobe are almost primarily made up of mini dresses, but I am absolutely how this hits just past the knee on me, and paired with heels it looks even more amazing!

Speaking of shoes, I paired this dress with these T.U.K Footwear heels with little kitty faces - I'm smitten!
