Vintage dress and vest. Miu Miu sunglasses. Giuseppe Zanotti wedges.
Yup, I devirginized my hair by weaving it a few shades lighter and redder - just goes to show how crappy of a blogger I've been since I did this almost two weeks ago. The next time I go in to do whatever to my hair, I think I am going dye the rest of my virgin hair the same shade but lighter. Too bad I dread waiting in a salon. There is something maddening about sitting in the same position for two hours.
Months of looking for new sunglasses, I finally found my dream pair. A good mixture of the vintage cat-eyed look I was going for and the wayfarer silhouette that unseeingly flatters my petite face. Being that I actually splurged on sunglasses (I've always struggled spending the extra cash on anything other than shoes or bags), I am no longer tempted to throw them in my glove compartment or my purse. Instead, they go in the most adorable, obscenely-large forrest-green velour case that I love so dearly. I lost both my Raybans anyway, so I am a hipster no more.

Great photos, love the second one!
You look great in that dress!
Getting such a 50s diner waitress vibe from that dress... so cute!
you look gorgeous and that outfit looks stunning on you! then again what outfit doesnt :]
Wow, lovely weather :)
I found a perfect pair of shades similar to that in h&m!
It would be mine
Great outfit! I really like the dress :)

Very spring/summer transition, fabulous. You should check out Barton Perreira frames, they're located in Orange County too.
Love the dress and the wedges! The neutral/soft colors are amazing!

WOW! So "stunningly chic," so simply "classically gorgeous!" Who knew, one could possibly "out-beauty mother nature," at her very finest!? :)
Such eye-arresting, delightfully sparkling spring scenes, each one so dreamily lovely! Are you really real girl, or did i somehow wondrously conjure you up in my dreams & imagination!? :)
Raych, that park bench shot, will forever be impressed upon my mind, as there truly couldn't be a possibly prettier park bench on planet earth! So "gorgeously fine & divine!" You seemingly, dreamily, give altogether new dimensions to the expression --- beautifully "grace the place!" So "love it!" So "love ya, babe!" :)
Namaste,
XoXo
Love the dress!
It looks so comfortable
love the hair color :) so appropriate for spring!
mm i'm totally with you on the hard-to-find glasses for petite faces, it's impossible!
Ohh miu miu sunglasses and I love the flow and how your dress dances in your photos :O
cute vest :) that second photo is a great shot!
amazing! truly chic.
absolutely love the shoes and sunglasses. <3
great photography, too!
love the hair. i was red before i was blonde... so much upkeep!
bummer about the raybans... i love my on pair of wayfayers... although i'm super obsessed with a pair of round oliver people's right now... south coast, the keeper of my paycheck.

You always have the perfect shoes for your outfits. You look like a 70's model.

Ah! Tell me why when I saw the 2nd photo I was like pulling my shirt down? Ha, like that would some how help you in the photo to make sure your skirt didn't completely fly up.
I like the hair color. It's subtle enough that you could just get away with being like, "oh yeaaa - this just happened on its own." Whenever I go into the salon I know I'm going to be there forever so I'm texting back & forth for hours and really fidgety.

P.S. - I'm bummed I didn't get to go to Socal with C.C. & hang out with you. You should come up (when the weathers nicer) or better yet we'll come down for sure in the summer time!
Love that vintage dress!

i think this is my favourite outfit you've worn so far! it's perfect. that pretty dress with the vest, and those wedges are incredible!
omg the heels !
I LOVE the color. I recently devirginized my hair as well but did it myself. Didn't come out well, so I want to leave it to a pro. Your 2nd pic will serve as an inspiration =]
I love the white dress. Also, you have to check out this band, because the Swedish-Japanese lead singer seriously looks like your doppelganger!

Their music is pretty good too...

I'm completely in love with this outfit - it has such a Grace Kelly safari girl vibe. Everything about it looks so comfortable yet still put together and pretty.
It's great how the dress formed a circular shape when the wind blew it rather than just being wrapped unto itself randomly.
Babbbbbes - GREAT outfit.
Your heels in particular are making our hearts melt...

Fabulous look I love it and I'm so glad that you got your dream sunnies. I sadly let my dream pair go and I didn't buy them;I was on shoe hunt,go figure...and on a side note I love your shoes!!!

I love the vest, I've been searching for one just like it!
I love the new hair color-- it's very subtle. I almost didn't notice it, but it's really a very pretty shade for summer, and your waves look lovely. :) Also, those WEDGES- fantastic.
