I'm all kinds of obsessed with turtlenecks and of course Matt Healy's style. I was watching an interview and I realized that I kinda had the same outfit he had on. I bought the cardigan out of repulsiveness while shopping for my best friend's birthday present (we have matching ones) - and it's probably one of the most comfy, yet warm overcoat I have. Oh and did I mention it was under $20?! Tie up a little topknot on your head and you're set. Christmas is approaching!
Recently, I was asked my inspiration behind my sense of style and what triggered my infatuation with fashion. I soon realized that I couldn't give a proper answer and all I could come up with was "I don't know". But what I do know is that fashion to me is way more than just an "I don't know".
What better way to justify fashion than on a little blog post.
Maybe cliche, but clothing is my favourite creative outlet. I love to dress myself. As narcissistic as that sounds, I swear I enjoy doing other things; writing, reading, ballet, etc. (just to clarify). My outfit policy is comfort, creativity + confidence. All three are traits that our generation of young people seem to lack, sadly. I want to be able to help bring out those traits, even if it is as simple as giving someone a compliment.
I find myself satisfied with often being called "edgy" and doing my part by dressing "edgy". It's always how I convey my personality. I ALWAYS appreciate compliments/comments about what I wear/how I style my clothes, but at the end of the day, I think it all comes down to the level of comfort/creativity/confidence you have.. In your clothing, but more importantly with yourself.
Be able to compliment freely and make people feel good about themselves, but also be comfortable with what you wear and ultimately, be comfortable with yourself.

That being said... Here's an outfit I've really enjoyed wearing lately made up of basic components; jeans, a turtleneck, open poncho, and boots, styled with a pair of glasses.

Hey all! I apologize for the lack of entries lately, as I've been extra loaded with work/the hectic Nutcracker production/and the launch of our youtube channel.
Over the course of the summer, I bought a cheap little expired (haha) disposable camera and took it around with me throughout my travels. A lot, and by a lot I mean, A LOT of people have asked me countless times why I chose to take photos on a disposable when I have an amazing quality DSLR.
It's the fun of it all. Not seeing your photos until you get it developed, the surprise of how interestingly your shots turn out. It's all about that feeling you get when you see your pictures for the first time, weeks and weeks after taking them. Memories flood back; at least for me, that was the case.
I wrote captions on the back of the print, as well as the exact time + date they were taken. Summer is long gone and fall is headed in full swing, but these pictures will always remind me of the memories I had on the road. I highly recommend you take a chance with film before digital photos wipe them out.
Savor your memories.

Here are a few of my favourite photos:

What really sealed the outfit for me were the funky sunglasses. I love the whole "futuristic" look! Thank goodness for the free bin at vintage thrift stores!

One of the first and most important things I set for myself in Cali was to visit my favourite store, OAK. If you aren't familiar with the line, all designs are simplistic, fashionable and straight up black & white.
The staff were so friendly and resourceful at both locations I visited! - dressed SO nicely, I wish I had taken a picture with them. The manager was super pretty and kind enough to put my clothes on hold!
After drooling over their clothing online for months and months now, I'm sosososo happy to say my OAK dreams are fulfilled. If you are looking for a cool place to shop - OAK is your best bet!

Hey everybody! It's approximately 12:36 AM as I'm writing to you from Cali, situated in a comfy bed! The flight yesterday was a little too shaky for my taste. I have to thank Starbucks and mainly Jason Isbell's hell of a record 'Southeastern' for calming me down and keeping me sane.
Today I did a little shopping around DTLA, bought a couple things from Urban Outfitters and OAK (more to that in later entries! Stay tuned!). And I also got to hangout with my Cali family!
I love the sight of palm trees everywhere. Vacation, it is, truly! I've been nothing but grateful and happy being here. I don't know what it is.. Change in scenery/people/lifestyle. It's so fascinating.

Goodnight and I'll catch you rather soon! I have a feeling I'll be sharing lots. Here's a happy song about California for ya x

Hello everyone!
I've been gradually packing for my little trip to LA and I realized how much clothing I had. How interesting would it be to start actually blogging about what I wear daily?!? Okay, probably not that interesting since I'll most likely be my only reader. HA.
I'm not funny.
Anyways, here's a cool lil outfit that I enjoy wearing lately:
TOP: H&M
SHORTS: BLUENOTES
JACKET: LEVI'S
BOOTS: MADDEN GIRL
SUNGLASSES: BANG-ON
Hope to see you guys when I check in more frequently with cool new things to share in LA. Hope your summer has been going well.
Best of vibes,
LJ
