I was listening to Coldplay while attempting to think of a tittle.. "speed of sound" came up.. i love Coldplay, i can listen to all their albums all day long.

Scissor print







scissor print dress-peppermint
blouse (mint) and ring-Romwe
belt-F21
flats-UO
watch-nixxon

Growing up in Peru i always had trouble spelling the word scissor...
it was the hardest word to remember how to write... i knew it had a 'C' i just didn't know where and how many "S's" were there... and just cause is my second language i still have trouble sometimes spelling it.. don't hate :P (thank you auto-correct)

i love how this outfit came out.. bought both items separately a while back, not even thinking they would someday match.  the dress has few of the dots on the color of the blouse which works out nicely, i think.

Lace & trim





cardigan and flower clip-F21
tank-AA
shorts and tights-UO
flats-aldos

If you read the previous post, you know i was going to get the Nike shoes to help my back somewhere in the future.. well not anymore! my sweetie surprise me with them yesterday! i'm so thankful :) he is soo sweet!

So i have this new thing to create outfits together. Maybe if you are like me sometimes and dont remember things you have or run out of time to put outfits together the way you would like to, here's an idea i came out with:
whatever comes to my head either drawn from inspiration somewhere or a new combination of colors  or pieces or whatever comes to my mind during the day, i jot it down on my iphone notes by describing the items of clothing that would go together... then I make sure it goes together by trying it on (when i have free time) and i put a smiley face next to the outfit combination ive tried and know it works... 
all this i keep in my iphone notes (numbered) so whenever i have to think of an outfit to wear for going out or a certain event instead of standing in front of my closet without a clue and making a huge mess, i just look at my notes and get ready.. definitely practical and less time consuming :)

Chambray








skirt-AA
flats-UO
striped dress (as a top)-Billabong


with one more wedding to attend in a few weeks, my sweetie and i went to buy our friend's wedding gift. we also stopped by the Nike store.. He was determined that i should try a pair on to see how much support they give, compared to the kind of shoes i wear all the time..
of course i kept saying "but they dont match my wardrobe" 

regardless I'm realizing i should probably invest in a good pair of sneakers that give good support.. im sure my back would thank me.

Circle scarf








scarf-modcloth
dress-Love21
tights-francescas
flower clip-(from a hat)
belt-Ruche
heel oxfords-Bakers
bag-volcom


Had this dress for a while but i couldn't find a belt, that was not black, that would fit well and would go with it... 
My sweetie gave me this belt in one of my christmas presents and it works perfectly! 

For a while now I've liked shades of grays.. but lately I'm more prone to light browns again ( a color i used to like and wear a lot in my early high school years)..
so here i am now wearing almost all shades of brown with a hint of gray on my bag.

bow ring-F21
ring-francescas

My boyfriend knows how much i love vintage, so he took me to see the movie "the artist" a new film in black and white... what we didn't know is that it was a silent movie! 
it definitely felt like we traveled back in time. it was a good film but for sure a one time movie for us.

on our way to the movies he had to stop by his old store "BC surf and sport", where i saw this cute purse... and yes that is a metal tooth clasp, yikes!
