i left my heart in san francisco

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world. For one, the weather is always just how I like it: crisp, cold, and cloudy. You could say I'm a bit of a drab person, but I grew up in the Bay Area, where sunny days are scarce and the sky is more thank likely to be gray, which is why I'm so excited for autumn. Pumpkin spice lattes and chunky sweaters and circle scarves and rainboots and beanies and mittens and fireplaces, here I come! In the coming weeks, expect to see a lot less skin and a lot more layers.

Sorry for the lack of updates! We're both really busy with school, so bear with us. But watch out; coming your way is my eBay review (all the items finally arrived!) and some style tips! Thanks for reading.

じゃ、またね！

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!

school sux

I'm not what you would call a morning person. When my alarm clock goes off at 6 AM, I immediately hit the snooze button. I just (A) am severely sleep deprived and (B) terribly unmotivated to go to school, much less get ready for it. However, this past week, I've been forcing myself to get out of bed and pull together semi-decent outfits just to get myself in the right mood for the rest of the day.

In all honesty, I think it's working. All pictures can be found on my instagram.

URBAN OUTFITTERS hawaiian blouse // ANN TAYLOR shorts // CITY SOLES shoes

EBAY snapback // SOMEWHERE IN ASIA crop top // NORDSTROM skirt // SODA SHOES flatforms

COTTON ON cateye sunnies // EBAY tank & suspender skirt // SODA SHOES flatforms

BORROWED cardigan // URBAN OUTFITTERS tank // BILLABONG acid jeggings // SODA SHOES flatforms

As you can tell, I'm a big fan of two things: my flatforms and the color black.

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.

the leaves are blushing red

The new school year has started and with it came the unusual joy of back-to-school shopping. As I have been looking for new clothes to add to my wardrobe, I've noticed a recurring trend in color: burgundy. I, myself have joined the trend and have repeatedly bought items of burgundy clothing, simply because the shade of red goes with about everything.

With the summer coming to an end, burgundy fits the autumn season quite nicely. It reminds me of the leaves falling and it's simply a fall color.

Burgundy is quickly become the dominant color in my closet and is easily my staple color this fall. All I need now is a burgundy scarf and maybe a coat to complete my inventory.

What do you think? Is burgundy the new black this fall or is it just me?

ebay haul: online shopping is a beautiful sin

After getting over my initial wariness of how shady eBay seemed to me, I decided to give it a try. A lot of people have successful eBay stories, so why not, you know?

Well, something happened.

I got addicted.

Someone honestly needs to take away my debit card before I max out. Today's haul is all about basics that are highly versatile! It's also about being cheap, because if you're going to online shop, you don't want to risk paying too much. I bid and won the following items:

Denim Suspender Skirt // $17.99

HELLO!! Snapback // $8.99

I HATE EVERYONE tank // $6.99

Chiffon Striped Shirt // $4.04

Lace Sweater Mini Dress // $7.99

Total: $46

I'm so excited to see how these purchases turn out! My wallet, not so much. 

I shall see you anon,

Dana

School's back in session, which means I'm having war flashbacks to freshman year. I'm pretty sure all of my posts are going to end up as quotes from Shakespeare. (The title is from when Romeo kisses Juliet for the first time and she totally just tells him that he's a so-so kisser. Burn.)

These shoes have been an absolute staple for me. I got them for just $35 at the wonderful Irvine Spectrum and they're perfect for throwing on any outfit to dress it down. Plus, they give me extra height, which is ideal for little 5'1 girls like me. When sweater weather comes along, these look adorable with thigh highs.

I just had two tests today, the third day of school, marking the first time I've actually studied for anything in about two years. I need time to recuperate. Catch you next time.

I shall see you anon (look, more Shakespeare speak),
