Hat Girl

It finally rained! But now the sun has taken back its place and Cali is back to being Cali. I'm glad though cause I haven't been paying as much attention to my hat tower as I should be. I have a confession, I'm kind of a hat addict. I have a big hat collection so I had to wear one today. obviously. I recently splurged at Urban when they had their additional 50% off sale and bought 2 hats. One gray one for fall/winter and this white one for hot sunny days. Another thing I have been excessively buying are pants. yes, pants. All kinds. Printed, bright, high waisted, cropped, loose etc. I bought these printed pants at Zara last week and I've worn them about 10 times because they are the most comfortable pants Ive ever owned!


WEARING: Anthropologie sweater, UO hat, Zara pants, Steve Madden platforms and Bolivian Jewelry.

outfit of the day: being lazy

To be perfectly honest, this is a laid back outfit for me, may not look like it but it is! Swear it. I didn't do my hair or face so I opted for a hat and big glasses. They were my best friends yesterday as I ran around doing errands. This outfit contains almost all of my newest purchases in one ensemble. I got really ridiculous and had to wear them all at once but I think I worked out. Im WEARING my new J.Crew hat, my new Zara sweater, my thrifted branch print maxi skirt(im obsessed with it!) and wearing my other newest shoes that I cant stop wearing. These platforms may be my favorite shoes to date, they measure up to 7inches high! Choose to believe me or not but these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

Outfit of the day/that looks familiar: 70's prints

Double segment!?!? 

I live for things of the past. I always say ___ era is my favorite era but anything before the 2000's is intriguing to me but today I'm paying tribute to the 70s. When I think of the 70s I also look back at the part when the redhead in Dazed and Confused says "The 50s were boring. The 60s rocked. And the 70s, oh my God, they obviously suck. Come on! Maybe the 80s will be like radical or something." I could help but yell at the my TV screen and say "HONEY, OH YOU ARE WRONG!" The 70s were great! They had sabbath, they had John Travolta(good looking), Zepplin, high waisted flare pants, platforms, DISCO!! The 70s were great okay?!

A lot of things have been coming my way that exude the best of the 70s like Stone Cold Fox's 2011 lookbook!! and Zara of course delivered my wish list item just on time!

So I channeled my best 70s gal(of course Black Sabbath comes on as Im typing this. Can I be any more 70s?) It's outfits like these that make me wish I lived in the 70s because I have no choice but to wear my pants with platforms cause they're so damn long in length. I want to show the pants off as best of possible. Surprisingly, this is the first day I've worn my Zara pants, why? Well I was just waiting for the right time to wear them but I decided why wait, I should just wear them everyday of my life right? The pants have this Tory Burch similarity to them and I dont really like Tory Burch, but these pants put Tory taaa SHAME.

WEARING: ZARA PANTS, YA. DA TOP, F21 PLATFORMS AND EARRINGS

Like I've mentioned before, working at Zara has it's perks. like seeing a firstlook/first pick at the new shipment AND also seeing the new coordinating pictures of what is to come the next seasons. and my oh my am I a happy woman. spring/summer is starting to sneak up on us. 

I've been lusting over hints and subtle touches of RED these past couple of months and I've also been lusting over Miky from MIKYSCLOSET AKA http://www.feedyourstyle.com/. She is totes on board with me with RED accents. Red never goes out, but red is usually used as a maja color in outfits, not as subtle accents and I think thats why i love it so much because its a quiet approach to a color that is known for its luxury, sensualness and boldness. 

But back to what Zara has in store for all of you. There are collections coming this way with HINTS of red pieces and they are great individual pieces on their own....red leather skirt hint hint. and keep your eye out for mint/sea foam accents as well. khaki, white, SEAFOAM combos. thats all im gonna say. that is all. I will leave the rest to your imagination. 

So due to any obsession of mine, I already have a evergrowing wishlist by my side of RED items. but my number 1 item has got to be the amazing SENSO wedges from solestruck. They look just like the ACNE THE ADMIRE wedges except not 700 dollars?!?! They are sold out on my size but I already put myself on the waiting list. For a while now I have been lusting over the Litas but after a while of much contemplating I have decided Senso's are the way to go for 2011. It's time to change it up a bit cause I already own 3 pairs of JeffCamp shoes, pluss I spent 300 dollars on my limited edition ACNE/JC wedges last year... okay Vanessa its time to calm down. So I came to a decision and im ready to be Senso obsessed.
