fall fashion with danny fung

(Vintage Joseph Magnin blazer, button-up c/o VJ-Style, ring c/o Gypsy Warrior,

thrifted Level 99 wide-leg jeans, and Lower East Side sandal wedges.)

It's been a little while since I last posted, and for that I am sorry! Things have been very, very busy the past week or so; so unfortunately my attention has been...divided. I've been working a lot on photography stuff and fun new content for the blog now that we're in holiday season. Since I've gone Blonde though, I've been trying to update my portfolio for the agency and my friend Danny Fung was kind enough to shoot with me again last Sunday; so I thought I'd share some photos from one of the looks we shot while wandering around Downtown before dark...

I've written about Danny before and as you guys know I adore him. He's a very talented  photographer here in Sacramento and I always love seeing what he comes up with! You guys should be sure to visit his website and check out some of his new work on his official facebook. I wanted to do something a bit sharp looking for the portfolio, so I decided to combine my vintage red Joseph Magnin blazer with my VJ-Style button up and these retro wide-leg jeans that I came across while thrifting with my sister a few weeks ago. I think this type of outfit is a great look for Fall and especially for occasions that may call for something a little more professional.

I really love the trousers. I've been obsessing over them since I bought them and, I confess, I'll find any reason to wear them and anything to pair them with! Lol! They are a thinner, breathable jean fabric, almost like a linen, and have a double button front that is reminiscent of that old school nautical/sailor look. The front comes up a bit higher, which I really like. I would have loved for an even higher waist for that great 1970s silhouette, which I'm glad is coming back, but alas... I'm still on the look out for the perfect high-waist, wide-leg jean! Hopefully the right pair will come along soon. *crosses fingers*

How have you all been, by the way? I've missed you! I hope everyone is having a lovely break so far. I don't know about you guys, but I'm so stoked for Thursday and all the amazing food it will bring. Hopefully these jeans will still fit afterward! Lol!

Happy Thanksgiving, my beautiful readers! <333

diy: flannel cutout shirt

So I went thrifting with my little sister today and picked up a flannel, because I've seriously been in love with the cutout shoulders look for a while now (it adds great edge to any top), and especially the Flannel Cutout Shirt by UNIF over at NastyGal. Unfortunately, its all sold out now, but being the crafty kinda gal that I am, I decided to DIY one for myself, and although I would have liked a much more over-sized flannel; I do really like how it turned out.
What do you guys think? :}

P.S. HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!!! <333

Favorite Color For Fall.

So its safe to say that officially, my favorite color for the Fall season is . . .

*drum roll please*

Nude. Thats right, Nude.

(Frilled Slip Dress by Cheap Monday, Nasty Gal Vintage / Diana Creem Sheer Blouse, Ayla Ivory Drape One Sleeve Dress, Dixi)

Colors like Nude, Creme, Khaki, Ivory and Beige are the perfect way to do subtle-sexy. Why? Because flesh-tones automatically make the brain think of just that; your birthday suit. They're also very romantic and playful and trigger thoughts of warm lips against blushing cheeks. (They'll make the boys swoon and wonder just what it'd be like to very sweetly hold your hand!) Personally, I think every girl should have at least one flesh-tone (and a little see-through) piece in their wardrobe this season. Pair them with acid wash jeans, a leather jacket, lace, or any rich, royal colors to make the most of your sheer brilliance!
