insatiable wanderlust

7.17.2009




Days lately are spent casually in a casual uniform: making homemade pizza, playing Sally’s Spa on the iPhone, laying out, eating amazingly cheap sushi, giggling over pictures, walking instead of driving, enjoying the scenery at Santiago, doing my nails, and watching all of Daniel Tosh's stand-up acts on YouTube.

I’ve even developed a uniform (or a habit?) of just wearing a beaten-down tank top + any bottom lying around + a series of flats or boots. Seriously, I’ve been wearing these Target sandals to its death, and it STILL hasn’t withered down to oblivions: WE NEED EACHOTHER. I need to snap out of it, because my other shoes are missing me – I just hate wearing high-heels in summer. Or is it just me?

Tank: American Apparel burn out tank, Skirt: Vintage, Sandals: Target.

Now that is amazing. I love the jewelry and that skirt is just the perfect length! I've been meaning to tell you that your hair has been fricken great lately.

+ Seriously wishing my life was laid back again. Recently I've been too busy to do any of the things you listed :(

MISS/KISS you, China L.

That black skirt makes you looks super tall! And I'm so glad I found somebody who loves Daniel Tosh as much as I do...I love his speech on what his MTV Cribs episode would be like. Hysterical.

i'm not sure why, i do enjoy seeing you in maxi number, totally accentuate your slim figure. i'm quite the opposite actually, i prefer wearing heels during summer.

Dannie said...

Ok so those sandals have your approval for being able to stand avg wear/tear? I just might get them now...

The chain linked bracelet-ring is supah pretty.

Sarah said...

Sasi said...

The bracelet on your right hand is to die for.

Annie said...

Love it. I have come to ahve a slight obsession with long skirts and flat sandals, especially black gladiator-type ones. It's a ridiculously glamorous look.

I need that necklace, and that skirt. actually, can I just raid your closet?

I KNOW that trail, I feel like I'm just a half a thought away from remembering what's around the corner, guhh. there's a park somewhere near, right? I'll remember at like 3am and then forget again. truth universally acknowledged, right? hehe

Cruz said...

i hear ya, i've been veering toward flats lately as well. i have those same target sandals....they don't really make a person's foot look that attractive, but they're perfect in any other way. i just can't say no to lace-up anything.

The Larvik way said...

I adore those Target shoes! And that skirt looks amazing on you, love the dustyness in your top also.

Lauren said...

I was just thinking about that! The heel thing, I mean. I've been rotating the same two pairs of sandals and one pair of flats all summer, and I'm bored with them, but I just can't bring myself to break out the heels. Which is strange, because normally I live in them. Maybe it's the hot sidewalks?

I have the same shoes and wear them out a lot when I want comfortable flats. I've been looking for a non-Gothy slave bracelet for about 3 weeks now, and I adore yours.

Shen-Shen said...

I like the long skirt! And yea, I'm not a big fan of wearing heels in the summer either.. Makes my feet sweat, or something.
