I'm sorry for the rain.

If you are in the Redlands or Riverside area

you would have experienced a down pour today.

Every time my family comes into town 

it rains or gets really cold.

Strange? yes. and I'm not even superstitious. 

Anyways, tonight I decided to experiment with what I will wear

to this weekend festivities. My sister is graduating

so my whole entire family will be here.

Tons of parties, dinners, and other fun things.

I like contrasting my look, so I went with a "Save Trestles" tee, 

tweet blazer from Italy, and a printed skirt.

my new jacket that i'm quite excited about.

I bought some lovely items in DC (this dress, too)

I noticed it is by no means a fashionable city

which disappointed me a bit. oh well..

Today has been insane. I leave for California in a few hours,

and I have not packed, but I don't plan on sleeping.

I'm also now noticing my lack of color in this outfit,

down to my earrings.

I'm wondering if this is reflecting my mood....

overwhelmed and grey? yeah, its a possibility. 

coming to Pensare Ancora Store (NOW OPEN!)

Everything has been crazy.

I spent the last few hours getting stuff shipped off

and getting everything else up for sale.

alright, so.

Living out of a suitcase for what seems to be months now

its starting to get to me.

I am currently in D.C., and come home Tuesday

and leave for California on Thursday, but after that

I will be home and focusing on photography, the store, and building my wardrobe.

but for your entertainment...

1993 was a good year.

Quick favor?

I was contact by someone at Kaboodle.com 

saying she would love to see me in their websites contest.

I get to show off my fun dresses and shoes

and hopefully win a trip to NYC by June.

BUT I need all of you to go vote!

With 600 daily readers, it's more than possible.

ps-took photos for the store today.

Will be posted first thing in the morning before I leave for D.C.!

last evening of high school

as if the silhouette and proportions of the dress wasn't enough...

net-a-porter had a detailed shot of the fabric and embroidery. 

set at about $5,500 its slightly out of my price range.

oh, its my last night of school. 

I'm gonna go cuddle my roommate :)

cheers!

the coat has arrived.

One of the many shots my friend Soogie took 

..same girl that drew my header!

She's got skill, there's no denying it.

It is finals week so as a result there won't be many outfits or photos

until Friday. 

I will be around a lot after that though, no worries.

I can post the rest at request!
