haul: thrift town

Hello folks! Yesterday, we went to San Francisco and we went to a store called Thrift Town. We each got some pretty cute clothes for a steal, both of us spending less than ten dollars on two items each. We filmed a thrift haul video, so check it out below!

aloha nui loa: maui wednesday

Though the crisp, chilly NorCal weather wouldn't remind anyone of the Aloha State, our outfits hopefully do. Spirit Week has come to our school, and the two of us love to dress up for all the crazy themes! Today was Maui Wednesday, so we rocked the halls with leis and Hawaiian prints.

take me to tokyo + playlist

As the doom and gloom of the upcoming school year creeps ever closer, it's time to consider revamping our wardrobes for the new semester. One way to do this is to expose oneself to trends around the world to catch a glimpse of fashion in places far from home.

Today, let's take a trip to the streets of Tokyo. Beneath the flashing lights and glass skyscrapers is a concrete parade of self-expression. Tokyo street style is something I've really been getting into this summer thanks to the contrast between fun colors and straight up grunge, the posh minimalism or the eclectic mish-mosh of patterns, and the wicked hair/shoe/accessory decisions. Here's a playlist of a few Japanese artists I like to get you in the mood:

i am the kawaii queen from radicaldana on 8tracks Radio.

Keep in mind that while I wouldn't necessarily wear all these outfits, I would definitely incorporate their elements into my own style! (All images are from Tumblr and are not my own creative property; if you are the owner or subject of one of these photos and want me to take them down, please contact me.)

 

 So, there's a taste of Tokyo for you. I honestly admire these people for being so bold and expressive; the ability to be daring is a fashion blessing. Love it? Hate it? Will you be investing in pastel hair or tattoo tights any time soon, or do you think Tokyo fash should stay where it is? Let us know!

love always, dana x

oh crop

GAP Flannel Shirt // PIZZA MY HEART T-Shirt // FOREVER 21 Black Shorts // FOREVER 21 Belt // GIFTED Aviator Sunglasses // VANS Black Sneakers

Hey folks! Well here's a quick lil OOTD after a couple idle weeks. Today I wore my cut Pizza My Heart cropped shirt with a flannel over and some shorts.

Speaking of cutting shirts, I've been experimenting with a bunch of DIYs with some of my old shirts. I found a few websites with tutorials from crop tops to tank tops and even bandeaus! A lot of the tops came out pretty well and I believe that I have finally mastered the art of cropping a bland tee. (Tip: Cut the shirt right below the belly button then, try it on and stretch out the bottom. The bottom will curl and the cut will be a nice crop!) Hope y'all are having a good summer!

like an american

URBAN OUTFITTERS White Tank Top //  MOSSIMO Khaki Shorts // HAND-ME-DOWN Blue Bandana // NORDSTROM Leather Satchel // GIFTED Bracelets and Pin // TOMS Navy Classic Canvas Shoes

Hey y'all! It's Independence Day and of course, I had to wear the classic American colors, red, white, and blue! I chose some light choices today, because it was scorching hot. I especially love my bandana; I feel like it's very patriotic in relation to the working American woman due to Rosie the Riveter's iconic red one. It also kept my hair from sticking to my face on this grossly humid day. 

I hope you all had a great Fourth of July (whether you're from America or not) and ate some great food!

beauty is pain

FOREVER 21 Graphic Muscle Tee and Grey Belt // WASTELAND High-Waisted Studded Shorts // CONVERSE Low Top Sneakers // HOMEMADE Black Headband

Wassup everyone! After a bout of foggy summer skies, the weather finally allowed me to wear shorts again! I fell in love with this pair the minute I saw them and despite the hefty price, I had to have them. So, of course, I bought them (well, actually my aunt agreed to get them for me as a late birthday gift) and I've been wearing them on nice sunny days ever since. The shirt, thankfully, was cheaper and it paired quite nicely with the shorts. As for the other pieces, the Converses were handed down to me and I made the headband out of scraps of fabric!

So today, I went out and got my eyebrows done. Prior to my appointment, I asked my friends about their past experiences on the waxing table. They all told me it was quite painful, so I was super nervous about getting them waxed. Long story short, I went to the waxing place and it didn't hurt at all! My brows ended up lookin' pretty nice, actually. Well, that was the highlight of my day (is that sad, I don't know), I hope your all having a good day!
