So as soon as we arrived the rainy season started…which means that it will probably rain throughout the afternoon everyday during my stay here! The street outside my house becomes a miniature wave pool even if it just drizzles…so I'm stuck hanging around here today.

I'm obsessed with the satin chinese jacket I got from a thrift store in Texas…I've been wearing it inside out, upside down, right side up, it's crazy what you can do with this thing! Here I wear it with my Y-3 skirt and Marni flats.

Missing home-hey mom! :)

 

 

You always want to wear your boots on the plane so you don't have to pack them-I'm bringing my new Chloe boots that I've been wearing non-stop!

I wear an old lace slip dress I got at Anthropologie a few years ago-still one of my favorite things to wear! The two scarves both have arm holes-I got them in Tokyo but I've never worn them together. I kind of like it. One is mesh and covers one of my arms…I can also wear it as a shrug! The watch and silver jewelry I stole from my mom for this picture! and the boots are Chloe.

Today I am also wearing an extremely special gift my mom got for me as a graduation present/celebration-of-many-good-things-that have-been-going-on present….it's an Antonio Palladino silver octopus ring. When we were in San Francisco we discovered his jewlery for the first time and were absolutely floored by his designs (look him up to see his alligator bracelet and the crab cuff-they are absolutely stunning) I am not normally the kind of girl who gets excited about jewelry-glitzy gems bore me. But this makes a statement-octopi have always been a lifelong obsession of mine and are sort of my signature  'thing' I guess. (I adore marine biology-seriousley!) I'm going to wear this ring forever-it's just the perfect thing for me! I'm so happy about it!

So many outfit posts lately-I would put more effort into this blog but I've been enjoying hanging out with my mom and sister again. We've spent the last three days doing girly shit like shopping, watching SATC, trying on clothes, reading 1970's Vogues, strutting around in our new Alaia's to the Hercules and Love Affair album- it's the best! I have to enjoy my time with them while it lasts-on Friday I'm going to my dad's place in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico…I'm excited to see my old friends there and relax for a while, but I'll miss doing the things I do during the summer here! Hopefully my temporary displacement won't interrupt my blogging-I'll still try to update as often as I can. I'll be there for two and a half weeks.

Today we had a delicious lunch at a Spanish restaraunt that's right next to our favorite boutique Fourty Five Ten, where we browsed and shopped for a while.

 
I wear an Ann Demeulemeester jacket and vest, an old Gap tee, Levi's cut-offs, a Y-3 bag, and my favorite ever Chloe boots!

Right before my departure, my mom and I went pre-sale shopping and managed to find some great pieces.

The navy skirt is Comme des Garcons-it's actually got leg holes like shorts but it looks much more like a skirt, doesn't it? It's got a few sheer (and sort of sheeny!) panels on it so I have to wear some airy shorts underneith. Mom and I are going to share this piece…its very voluminous and light, and I like that look for summer a lot!
The new Dries sandals go so well with it too…I had been dying for these shoes, they look so fresh right now! The beading is gorgeous, these pictures don't do them justice-they are jaw dropping in person. My mom got another pair too-with different colored beading in a lighter color. They are just are beautiful. I plan to wear these a LOT-the second I laid eyes on them I had this idea to wear them with Adida track pants-so I got a pair. My first pair of track pants, I was kind of excited! Well, more on that outfit later-I liked wearing these pieces together today.

I'm so happy to be home!
I didn't have anyone to talk about clothes with or read magazines with when I was in Spain…mom (my only real life fashion friend!) and I had to make up for lost time last night and try on some new things that had arrived while I was gone. I have so much to blog about now…but right now I'm ready for life to get back to normal. I'm going to go to the gym and hopefully photograph some things for the blog today now!
Talk to you soon…
