watermelon

I'm not the only one obsessing over this Dusen Dusen sweater right? And with Chicago weather up in the 80s, I'm ready to get all Eartha Kitty and bike around town to get some watermelon flavored Italian ice! Hey, I said I was a Chicago girl! (Italian ice yay, ice cream boo!) Luckily Emerging Thoughts extended their 20% off sale so this cutie can be all mine! Use to code word INDEPENDENT to get 20%, they need your support to stay independent and free! Plus I know the gals at Emerging Thoughts personally, they are super cool kids, that want to bring you the best in Indie fashion designers. So give it a lucky loo, you might find something as yummy as this sweater!

they don't love you like I love you

Maps...what's not to love. Old ones, innovative ones (have you seen the scratch off ones?), I really love the wanderlust feeling maps produce.

When you were a child did you ever play the game where you spun the globe and placed you finger aimlessly? Where ever the globe would stop that's where you would move when "you grew up" (which what is considered "grown up" 60? I hope its not 25...) I think I'll always love maps, and dreaming of travel. That why I kind of love this map Dusen Dusen dress. It's from their fall collection, but I kind of think it's perfect for spring. Plus on Emerging Thoughts its more than half off market price! So I think this cute lil one piece will be perfect in any gal's suitcase for a much needed spring break vacay. I went to polyvore to imagine how I would accessorize it on a weekend trip to an unexplored land. Gave it a sort of a tomboy feel, since the dress is already so sweet.

Ps why not we rock out to this classic hit while we dream about our weekend trips?

For the love of Japanese fashion

My love for Japanese fashion is what first sparked my interest in fashion. Despite my mother's whims I was never really into "conventional fashion" until I discovered Fruits in high school, ever since my love for Japanese fashion has evolved and grown like my love for fashion itself. I have moved on from "deco-kei" to more traditional style of dress. The other day I was flipping through the pages of Drop Tokyo to save some images for inspiration...when it was all said and done I realized I saved all the same girl over and over. Kazuyo Takiguchi. She's works for nestRobe (a Japanese clothing store that is TO DIE) And everything she puts together is like a relaxed, Japanese Lady Moriarty.

I don't think she can do no wrong, if only I could pull off the oversized looks as well as she. Regardless I made some inspo looks from her, trying to copy the looks in my own way. A lot of these pieces you can find similar like that Dear Creatures sailor sweater & that Yokoo cowl both at Emerging Thoughts, one of my favorite online shopping spots! (especially for them last minute holiday finds!) Check them out meow!!
