i used to live in a psychic city

Urban Behaviour courtesy of Threadsence. Vintage polka-dot thing. Alex Lane shorts. Martin Margiela shoes.

Talk about an ephemeral heat-wave in California, I missed my 80 degree sun. Estranged weather patterns in California called for perfection where it’s hot in the sun but cool in the shade. I figured as much pulling out my barely there outfits I've missed so much. A rather astute reader commented that I’ve been keen to the croptop silhouette lately. It didn’t even dawn on me, but I guess I’ve been subconsciously pairing said combination and look forward to doing more so if the weather holds up.

Excited to hang out with friends this weekend that I haven’t seen way too long because they have better study habits than I do. Anticipating a good time this following week.

All these polka dots remind me of artist Yayoi Kusama. I definitely recommend you check her out!

The weather has been sooooooo amazing right? Aren't you glad we live in Southern California?

Your Margiela shoes are ridiculous! They're so amazing, makes me wanna steal them from you. Love the polka dot overload. But that's not right, because you really can't overload on those.

Raych, you never cease to amaze, babe! From what seems an uncanny combo of amazingly wondrous imagination & creativity in tandem with delightfully whimsical flair & personality, you manifest a marvelous "sense of style" uniquely your own! :)

Now, really, (as someone alluded, above) who else besides you would've "creatively, imaginatively thunk" to not only boldly introduce exciting polka dot to enhance a simple casual look, but to have "contrasting and dancing polkas" together - - - a rare true treat of stimulating visual wonder! Talk 'bout "gettin/capturing one's eye or attention!" :)

And then, "lo & behold," like a "truly divine, fashion diva," you give a simple yet sensational look, an absolutely crowning touch, how ...?

"Wow!," by placing a "simply stylish" headband crown upon coif, and "damn/bam!", "voila!": like magic & fairytale fantasy, behold a beautifully stunning princess/goddess!!! I iterate, "babe, you so rock!" :)

Namaste,
XoXo
