Robes in Fashion (Yes, The Ones You Wear to Bed)

The fashion robe. It's definitely a thing. It can happen.

The best thing about this robe is that I found it in the pajama section at Forever 21, which is not only ironic because I absolutely LOATHE Forever 21, but because it's not meant to be worn out.

Since it's so light, it's nice to have as a sort of fake jacket for summer. You can pretend like you have something to go over your clothes, but it doesn't make you too hot.

It makes you look like a sophisticated magician, or something awesome like that.

It can be worn with many things, too.

I recommend heels and high waisted pants to balance out the length. 

#1: Shouldn't Be Polished, But Looks Like It Anyways

Even with your biggest hobo bag, you still look strangely put together in a more-or-less imperfect way. There's also no arguing that this looks relatively comfortable.

#2: Free Willed

The robe is awesome on its own, too, because you can play around with it. You'll barely notice it there.

 #3: Headscarf!

No, it doesn't look like you wrapped a blanket around your head. It's like the better version of a shawl. Plus, your friends will be jealous that they didn't think of it first.

Well...then you can go the route of the blanket shawl by just throwing it over your shoulders to add to your outfit. If you feel like being lazy with your outfit, this isn't a terrible option.

Forever 21 robe, Uniqlo tank top (mildly expensive, but will soon become your favorite tank top), American Apparel riding pants, vintage shoes, Looksy gifted necklace.

Don't forget to check out the Looksy website if you haven't already! I've already fallen in love...too many times to count.

Stockin' H&M Prints + Song of the Week!

Random beanie, DKNY jean jacket, H&M sweater, tank top, tights, scarf, and pencil skirt (I really should stop hoarding so much H&M), thrifted boots.

Macy's rings.

I gotta say...H&M's at a level of style way beyond any other store that sells clothes at it's price. It looks like real designer clothing, too.

That sweater? So Isabel Marant.

Scarf? Looks like it could be a print on an Equipment button up shirt.

Also, the brightness of the stars balanced with the more grunge-y look is a good way to wear it.

Special tip: A new trend is to have a tonal look. Wearing all of a similar hue is an incredibly sophisticated look, and so easy to pull off. Especially for the summer - tan, pale pink (not to be mistaken for baby pink), and white are your best bets. You don't really want to wear all lavender shades, unless you dig the fact that you might look like a grape.

For those of you in the bay area, keep praying for the sun god to bring the sun out more often. (:

Song of the week: Quesadilla by Walk the Moon. This band is electronic/indie/pop, and I find their songs to have their own little take on this genre.

Olive

Forever 21 shirt, American Apparel skirt, vintage snake necklace, H&M jacket, random socks, Aldo shoes.

I can't help but imagine myself strolling through Spain or France in warm summer weather with these shoes. They make you super tall and aren't total hooker shoes. They were also less than $100 dollars. Major score. Go Aldo.

If you want cool accessories (like my necklace), go to flea markets. You never know what you'll find, and coming from the girl who loves sleep to death, it's worth waking up fairly early for.

Songs of Spring

Despite the universally despised Daylight Savings that has thrown off our usual schedules (I don't think any of us are looking forward to waking up at 5:30 am), Spring is off to a nice start. Spend time listening to music and embracing new spring trends, and you'll start to feel it.
And not to mention, we've been having beautiful, sunny days here in the bay area. (:

Some songs for your fabulous Spring days.

Necklace from Sayulita, Mexico in a store called Revolucion del Sueno (super cute stuff!), All Saints shirt, Rag and Bone belt, R12 jeans, H&M booties.

Vintage + Mod, Pastels

Pastels and dark colors is THE key to looking like a total badass.

Thrifted cat eye glasses, mom's vintage leopard print shirt, H&M jacket and leather pants, Urban Outfitters BDG sneakers, Mayle purse.

Potrero Hill Shenanigans

Taken in front of the little hipster coffee shop on Mississippi St. in Potrero Hill.

Steven Alan collared shirt, thrifty nifty blazer, skirt from Buffalo Exchange, socks unknown, Urban Outfitters BDG flatforms, mom's cuff (vintage I think), Diesel studded bracelet.

Guest Pinning for Looksy!

Hi friends!
Just so you know to check it out, I'm currently guest pinning for the accessory website Looksy! They're on Pinterest as Looksy, and you can find my board there.
And please check out their website if you haven't already: looksy.com. They have the coolest up-to-the-minute accessories. Best thing, they're affordable!

 Statement necklaces are always in! Especially if they're Pamela Love inspired. Plus, the geometric shapes on the necklace are a cool way to modernize your look.

I would love to put my makeup in this adorable bag! The prints and colors are so beautiful together, and put together in a very Marc by Marc Jacobs way.

This clutch is so rad! The studs and blue leathery material give it such an edgy look. It could be used daytime to nighttime, too.

Of course, there is much more on their site. But that's for you to check out! (:
