I appologize for looking so bitchy in these pictures. I actually am in kind of a crappy mood today though, haha. My husband and I had a nice beach day planned when he got called into work this morning… grr. Hopefully he doesn’t have to work tomorrow.

Inspiration [Fall meets summer] January 29, 2009
The weather in San Diego is so up and down lately. I’m confused between summer and Fall… perhaps even Spring. I’m not complaining though! I love how the variation of weather brings out a variation of clothes.
Hm, some pictures that are saved in my “Inspire” picture folder…
(A Style Song, Victoria’s Secret, Teen Vogue, Shop Bop, DVF and I forget…)

Out to dinner with le husband…
I started bleaching some coloured blue jeans yesterday. They turned quite pink but are going white now… I do wish I’d left more of the blue along the sides though a la these. I’ll post results soon!
Saturday January 26, 2009
I spent my Saturday morning sipping Mcdonald’s coffee, watching my husband run the track in full gear.

and that night with new friends, movies, vodka and all of our dogs!
Top 5 January 25, 2009
Top 5 in my current fashion wishlist…
1. Latex type leggings. Yep, still have not bought any! Hopefully they stay “in style” for a while. I think they’re a great idea. I have my eye on the high waisted (good gut cincher) pair from Forever 21.
2. Acid wash/bleach skinny jeans. Forever 21 has a cheap pair I’m hoping to snap up. I think it’s a great jeans look for summer… and California!
3. Long tanks. I love the Alexander Wang type ones but I have a large bust so they tend to hang like tents on me! Still, I’m sure I can find something similar that’ll work.
4. Exposed zippers. I love them on basically everything but I might have to snap up the cheap skirt from Wet Seal*
5. Romper. Yep, still want one of those as well. I have a long torso so it might be tricky to find one that’s long enough. Still, I love the asthetic of them.
Runners up…
Black flats, black bra and basic tshirts. Black flats would really come in handy with a lot of my outfits and oh my, my top wardrobe is seriously lacking. I really need to get some good American Apparel ones though, the cheap tshirts never seem to last me. I love the look of a black bra peeking out… much better than one of any other colour so I’m looking for a black lace one.
Items from Old Navy, Urban Outfitters, Wet Seal, Forever 21, American Apparel and Victoria’s Secret. I actually have only shopped at Goodwill once and that’s it since I moved here!
*I think we all know I’m a very frugal shopper. I just don’t feel I have the money to spend more. I would like to, uh, invest in more lasting pieces sometime but for now I’ll just stick to my sales racks and the like!
What I Wore [bows and heels]
I always like how this dress photographs… I think I wore this for a day of doing not a whole lot, haha.
I’m almost caught up with What I Wore post. I mean, ideally I would like to post what I wore the day that I actually wore it!

How excited is everyone still feeling about Obama? Ah, I’m smiling just thinking about it. Change, change, change! I learned to embrace change years ago.
What I Wore [poladroid] January 24, 2009
(jacket Walmart, skirt homemade, tights Ebay, shoes Target)
Yep, Poladroid really is addicting!
What I Wore [sunny CA] January 23, 2009
When I first got to California, it was hot hot hot.
(dress Target, shoes Old Navy)
What I Wore [California!]
So much is going on lately… but California has been amazing so far. The weather is wonderful! I spent the first few days in shorts and bare legs but have switched to pants the past few days as it has cooled down. I love how when it rains it only lasts a few minutes, hehe… so different from WA State! I’ve met a few people so far and it’s easy to keep busy here. I just feel really happy. :)
I’ve been lazy about taking outfit pictures but I do have a few. I’m not sure where I packed my little tripod!
I wore this to go out to dinner with my husband one of our first nights here.
(the bag is actually in the background. funny that it looks as though I’m holding it!)
(dress Suzy Shier, bag thrifted Goodwill, shoes thrifted Goodwill, belt I forget)
