Summer Shorts I love

        There are so many types of shorts out there currently and knowing what to purchase can be a pain. Here are some shorts to get you through the summer: 
         There were tons to choose from, but I narrowed it down to these. I arranged them so it fits all budgets ranging from low, to mid, and high end. :) I am disappointed by Urban Outfitters for their short selections this week, www.asos.com has THE best selections!
Please take note that shorts I picked reflect my style, you can check the referring websites to find a pair that suits you as well.

bohemian rhapsody

Hello again!
Let's see my summer hasn't really kicked off quite yet.
I feel like when the summer begins I become a bit less productive! :( That's why Fall/Winter are my favorite seasons. I love being busy--writing endless papers for classes, studying, and working.

I don't plan on going on vacation until August. There is San Francisco where I've always wanted to check out. Also, The Pacific Coast Music Fest in San Diego I believe.


Let me introduce you to this Jacque & Koko kimono style button down. This roomy top makes me feel like I am taken back into the 70's. I research Jacque and Koko on ebay and alot of bohemian and retro tops came up.
What sold me was the print, you cannot find a print like this now. I snatched this at my local thrift store for only $4!! I belted this with a hunter green suede belt which I thrifted from Good Wills for $2.88! :O How lucky am I?! This outfit has many different colors but the colors all blend well together like a family!

         I finally found the urge and motivation to blog again.
Somehow my posts got deleted/removed by blogspot and I got lazy as I struggle to find ideas for blog posts. :(
           It was not even about finding ideas; for I have plenty, but finding an actual direction on how I want my blog to be like. For instance,do I want to include my life within a post? Should I feature music so my audience feels more closer to me? Do I feature an outfit per week or several posts per week? See what I mean?
          I've found alot of inspirations from other bloggers, my girl friend/blogger, and a special boy! Now that I have a good sense of direction I will try to put 2-3 posts per week!

This outfit explains my style in a nutshell. I love flowy tops paired with cut off denim shorts for the summer. If I am wearing something fitted on the bottom I  balance it out with a loose top. You can go from brunch, to shopping, to a dinner date. I am lazy so I cannot continuously change outfits throughout the day!!







The sun was high and so was I. I thought of you, I thought of you.
