Bohemian Rhapsody

 I know it has been a while since I have last posted, but I wanted to share some pictures from a 5 minute photo shoot I did with some of my friends. Lighting is something to play with and can really add a different element to photos. We shot near sunset so it was really tricky to incorporate the sun. We found this spot while driving home one day and we just decided to have a little fun!

OOTW: 8/5 Playfully Pretty

     This week I chose an outfit that harnesses pretty and easy. I am a huge fan of comfort over style any day, but who says you can't have both?

      The dress is by Brandy Mellville and the cat shoes are by Jon Josef. This outfit is fun and playful and really says a lot about my personality. 

OOTW 7/29 : The Usual

     On Friday for my friend's birthday me and a couple of her good friends went down to Santa Monica to do a little retail therapy. It was an amazing trip and I was able to pick up some great stuff from Brandy Melville. One thing this store is know for is their street worthy California style. Here is an outfit that I picked up while I was there:

   

  When I saw this shirt I couldn't help but giggle. I mean look at me its such great irony! The t-shirt and shorts are from Brandy Melville. Being someone who doesn't look that great in short shorts, I found a pair of high-waisted shorts that fit my body like a dream. When I got back I took my new clothes to the streets.........don't worry I won't say that again. 

 

 Although sandals would look cute I thought a cute pair of black patent leather, lace up oxfords would do the trick. The shoes give this outfit a must need edge. 

 

  

        I hope this helps with some inspiration! I hope you guys have an amazing week. 

Easy, Breezy,California

       So today as I was hanging out with my best friend she proceeded to inform me about this great pair of pants she got in Spain. When I saw them I was speechless. Not only were these pants unique, but they were also very fun. She then began to ask me what to wear with them. As I began to go through her closet I began to find pieces that scream California. This is what we came up with: 

 

   I paired the pants with a see through sweater and bralette. Then, I found a super cute silver belt. 

 This look is super chic paired with brown sandals and a super cute brown satchel. 

This look is definatly quirky and unique. 

OOTW 7/22 World traveler

    This week I was inspired by prints. Bold tribal prints are one of this summer's must haves. If you aren't the kind of person who goes bold right of the bat try mixing prints with neutrals that way the print stands out the most.

      

       I feel like summer is all about travel and I think this look incorporates a very worldly vide. 

    

  I paired this look with a brown belt, pretty understated jewelry and, brown Madden Girl sandals. The bag is a cross body black Coach saddle bag.   

 

      So go forth my friends and may you be blessed on your travels!

Proposal

    So as a blogger I've been doing a pretty bad job at keeping you guys up to date on fashion. So I propose I do an outfit of the week. Every Monday i will post a different outfit to help inspire your weekly wardrobe. Each outfit can be for different occasions. I feel like its my job to help inspire your summer wardrobe although summer is coming to a close. I should probably warn you I'm not the most photogenic person but I can assure you that I will start doing a better job at keeping you guys up to date. 

                                                                                                           Love always, 

                                                                                                            Kate xoxo

so what do we do now? A summer playlist perhaps?

 We've been waiting for summer to begin since we got off break last year and now that its here what do we do now? I guess if you're like me you sit on your computer and blog but,  I think it helps if you have a summer playlist. Every summer I like to pick new songs and start a playlist that could define my summer. Music can have a power over you. It can change your mood or fit it. I honestly can flip flop between gangsta rap to indie techno to folk music. This summer Kayne came out as a high roller in his album "Yeezus" that set expectations high for albums coming out this summer. But for those who aren't quite into rap indie techno has become a super cool summer music trend. Purity Ring is personally one of my favorites for the summer and  the cool techno/trance beats have a way of lightening your mood. I'm allways impressed with Empire of the Sun their new album "Ice On the Dune" has a quality that is a bit dancey but makes you feel full of life. Summer is a way to expand your horizons and music can have a lot to do with it. My summer playlist has a way of inspiring me and quite frankly is one of my favorite things about summer. Good luck! Here are some songs that are on my summer playlist:
