candles, cake and creme

Hello folks!

So I know I haven't been posting very frequently lately, and I apologize but I do promise to try post more often! I have two drafts waiting to be edited soon so be on the look out!

So a little update with what's going on with me right now, I don't know if I should post this because it's not quite an enriching piece on any sort of trend but I will anyways. Today is finally my fifteenth birthday! I am of course one of the youngest in my class which is weird to me (but of course not as young as Dana who's birthday is in fact coming up pretty soon *wink*). It was a very eventful day to say the least (I got asked to homecoming which was fun, and I'll be sure to write about dresses as the date comes closer). 

So anyways, getting back to fashion, here's a little quick OOTD for y'all coming to you today on my fifteenth birthday (I'm a child I know). Apologies for the poor iPhone quality.

Hey guys! Dana here. Well, it's finally October, but living in California means it's still 70 degrees out. The chunky sweaters and scarves will have to wait. My Urban Outfitters package arrived yesterday with this sick muscle tee, so I pounced on the opportunity to wear it. Contrary to popular belief, that cat is shooting lasers, not crying blood. To each his own, I guess.

Quick update on life in general: Sorry I've been sort of M.I.A. for a while. Sophomore year's actually hitting me pretty hard with a seemingly endless bombardment of tests and projects--not to mention Pre-Calculus. No thanks. Otherwise, life's been treating me well! I hacked off my ombre with some kitchen scissors at 1 AM last Monday, in case you haven't noticed. And I finally got my hands on Photoshop, hence the mediocre photo processing. I promise I'll get better.

Ebay haul coming up soon! Now get off the Internet.

Catch you on the flippity flip,

Dana

(P.S. It looks like my fly is down, but I swear it's not. The underside of my belt just happens to be flesh-colored. What a coinkydink.)

i left my heart in san francisco

GIFTED beanie // URBAN OUTFITTERS tank top // H&M jacket // F21 jeans // SODA SHOES flatform sneaks // MARC JACOBS purse and necklace

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.

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?
