Hey guys! Happy Memorial Day weekend. I hope you all are celebrating the holiday as you please, with BBQ'S and sunshine and laughter and friends. </div>

This is my last post here in Oakland before venturing off to a new beginning in Portland, Oregon. I honestly cannot believe the time is finally here. We have most of our belongings packed up in boxes lying in the middle of our apartment, waiting idly by until the day we finally load them up into the truck and drive off into the sunrise (yes, we are leaving at the crack of dawn to get up there as soon as we can.. yikes). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I almost didn't do an official "last blog post in Oakland" because I honestly thought I wouldn't have the time. But surprise, surprise, being an adult and actually getting things done in a timely manner rather than procrastinating to the very last minute actually pays off.. and in my case left me with some free moments to shoot some photos. I'm so grateful it worked out this way. I had been wanting to shoot an outfit post in this little spot one last time before moving, and I guess it was meant to be. I kept the look somewhat simple here and very "me" with all old clothes from my closet and my trusty nosebleed boots (they are honestly the only heel I wear these days). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got a little emotional walking back from taking the photos.. I stopped along the way any second I saw something that caught my eye and snapped a pic and took it all in because I knew it would be the last time I'd walk my familiar path in my soon to be former neighborhood. Do moments ever catch you like that? Where the thought of how fleeting yet beautiful life can be all at once is crazy intimidating? I don't know.. I tend to get a little overwhelmed by it all.. but the funny thing is I wouldn't trade it for anything. </div>

Tie-Dye Crop Top: Thrifted, D.I.Y.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it comes to "fashion" (or whatever you want to call it.. I prefer personal style but we've been through this before), I have always, and forever will be, unconventional. I tend to gravitate toward pairing pieces that one would not normally put together, such as the pinstripe pants and tie-dye crop top displayed in this post. For me, (and I am sure for many of you as well), style is absolutely, one hundred percent an art form, and pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box is key when showcasing who you are as a person. This means that getting dressed is never boring. It's an adventure. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been super into these old man trousers lately haha. They are comfortable of course, but they also give off a vibe that says "I don't really care what you think about me" (and really other people aren't thinking about you nearly as much as you think about you anyway :P). As women we are constantly expected to dress a certain way.. wear skin tight clothing.. show off whatever we can to exude a false sense of sexuality.. conform to social norms that tell us to look girly and feminine and of course, dress to please the patriarchy :P. Don't get me wrong, I love to play the part of full on vamp from time to time (I mean duh.. my blog can attest to that), but most days I just love being the relaxed, casual, rock & roll chick that I am. This pastel tie-dye crop top (which I made myself as it was originally an over-sized blah tee-shirt) adds the perfect Susanna touch.. because of course I never completely stray from playfulness in my looks. I added the studded belt and Chuck Taylors to the outfit because honestly the two pieces are continuing guest stars in my everyday wardrobe anyway. And since I never want to be anything but real with you guys, this look is exactly who I am. Relaxed but a little sassy. Grandpa trousers and all. ;)</div>

Hello everyone! Just a quick post today. I decided to do an entry featuring this Hawaiian print kimono that I purchased from a thrift store some years ago. However the catch is that I am actually selling it! If you follow me on Instagram you know that I started my own little online store through an app called "Depop". There you can find various thrifted, vintage, and sometimes new pieces that either A.) I no longer wear B.) Don't fit quite right C.) Need to go to a better home, etc. etc. etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, this kimono is awesome, right?? I simply do not wear it enough. I've had it in my wardrobe for about 4 years and I think I've worn it all of two times. I'm not sure why.. probably because I tend to wear the same things over and over and let too many pieces hang lonely in my closet. This is why I am starting to sell clothes! Hahaha.. I want to share the love. Anyway, the brand of the kimono is Miss Avenue and what originally drew me to it was the pattern. I think it is extremely original compared to other kimonos I have seen over the years, and the Hawaiian style print gives off a vintage vibe. The label is a large, and while I am typically a medium, it fits perfect on me for that oversized, flowy fit. Festival season, summer picnics, day trips to the beach.. this little number has got you covered for the warm days ahead. </div>

If you live in the states and are interested in the items I am selling over on Depop, you can find me under the username "susannalynnwilds". Unfortunately I do not ship internationally as it is too expensive, but that may change in the future depending on how successful I am (which may take awhile haha). Basically it has been a goal/dream of mine to have a little store where I can sell awesome stuff.. and Depop is the perfect start. I apologize for plugging my shop over here on the blog, but they say any publicity is good publicity, and I need to get my name out there as much as possible. ;)</div>

Thank you so much for reading! Love to you all. </div>

Ahh the moments between Spring and Summer when the days aren't rainy but the air is cool and crisp, calling for comfy layers and darker textures.. at least for me! I've had a lot going on in my personal life this week and while life does not stop, I can buy myself some comfort in a look that allows me to feel put together and on top of everything when really I just want to curl up and have it all stand still for just a minute. Enter this cozy sweater from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/" style="color: #f78cfb; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Tobi.com</a>. I honestly feel like I'm wrapped up in a blanket when I put it on. I am always on the hunt for a perfect statement piece that delivers ultimate comfort, and this top is the answer. Paired with my nosebleed boots from T.U.K. Footwear, thrifted faux leather shorts and a studded bag, and I've got a look that gives me a reason to get out of bed. (If I sound dramatic it's because I am.)</div>

I hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend! I'm not sure how frequently I am going to be able to post from here on out what with all of the moving preparations coming my way. I will try my best to post as much as I can for the next month but I can't make any promises. June will probably be a bit sparse as well because I will be getting settled into my new place, in a new town, in a new state. But for those of you who genuinely enjoy my posts.. not to worry! I'm not going anywhere.. in fact this move is going to be such a welcome opportunity for new content around here that I am genuinely looking forward to the future of this blog.. you just gotta give me some time. :)</div>

This. Dress. Words cannot describe my joy and delight in the little number. It is yet another piece that takes me back to a different time and place.. far away from the present day. I am in love with the vintage vibe that it exudes, so naturally I had to pair it with some vintage pieces: The lavender lace camisole peeking out from underneath was the perfect touch in covering up some peek-a-boo spots while still adding some playful texture. And as not to get too far away from myself and turn into the ultra "fairy princess in a pink dress" kind of girl, of course I chose my vintage Dr. Martens and my favorite pair of fishnets to punk up the entire look, adding the perfect edge to my never ending "rock & roll darling" aesthetic. It has honestly been quite awhile since I've come across a brand new dress (that wasn't thrifted or vintage) that I have completely fallen in love with, but it finally happened thanks to <a href="http://www.tobi.com/dresses/summer-dresses#color_id=85202" style="color: #f78cfb; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Tobi.com</span></a>.

Hey guys! Bit of a different post this week. I actually hadn't planned on posting at all, as this past weekend was my birthday and I took a breather from work to relax and recuperate. However yesterday I had some time by myself at home, cleaning the apartment and hanging out with my kitties. At one point I noticed that the afternoon light looked so lovely in my bedroom that I thought, why not snap some pics and do a mini outfit post/room tour? It's always fun to switch up the normal posting routine on my blog, and here I was presented with the perfect opportunity. I'm actually quite pleased with the photos that I captured, and I hope you find a little bit of enjoyment out of them too. :)</div>

As many of you know, my husband and I live in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the Bay Area, where rent isn't cheap and space is minimal. Our tiny one bedroom has proven to be a challenge in decorating and organizing, but after 6 years of living here, I think we have it (mostly) figured out haha. There is actually a lot more space between the bed and the wardrobe than the picture lets on. The bed and nightstand were given to us by my parents, and the wardrobe was an Ikea purchase we made to store some of our clothes and shoes (as the closet behind me, concealed by homemade curtains, is the size of a shoebox). </div>

This little shelf lives in the opposite corner of the bedroom. I put it up myself (power tools and all.. I am woman! haha) because I wanted a home for my night light. Yes, yes, most of you already know that I still sleep with a night light.. even with a husband around.. a soft glow of light dimly illuminating the room while I sleep will forever be a comfort to me.</div>

Hey friends, bit of a quick post and not too many photos as my camera died mid shoot... arggg. I had my phone and my earbuds charged for my walk around the neighborhood but true to form I completely forgot to charge my camera.. so it only had medium battery life once I started snapping pics. Oh well.. less is more (as they say), and I've been trying to shift my posting to fewer pictures per entry than a million pics of the same pose anyway.. so this is a great start haha!</div>

I'm sporting a bit of an androgonyous look today and channeling my love of The Smiths in a very London circa 1987 punk/new wave inspired style. I've also been very into my over-sized thrifted pinstripe trousers lately and not caring so much about looking super feminine all of the time. Sometimes it's awesome to just feel comfortable, you know? Not every outfit has to show a bunch of skin or hug every curve of your body in every perfect way. Challenging beauty and body standards that this world tends to throw in our faces is always a pleasure of mine, and I hope to inspire the rest of you to do the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And I will leave you with that! Feels good to be posting quite regularly and I intend to keep it up as much as I can. I hope you guys are having a lovely weekend! </div>

Where do I even begin with this dress? I bought it at a thrift store in Hayward, CA a couple of summers ago and it is one of those pieces that will probably stay in my wardrobe forever. The tag is H&M and while I do not shop at H&M stores anymore (for ethical reasons), I have no problem wearing the label if I can proudly say that I found the item while thrifting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern and detailing of the dress reminds me of something Drew Barrymore would have worn in the 90's. I put it on and I am taken to a different time and place entirely. The dress is so dynamic on its own that I tend to keep the jewelry simple in order to let the piece shine. I often wear it to work paired with more "professional" accessories such as flat shoes and opaque tights, but for the everyday I like to grunge it up a little bit with fishnets, my nosebleed boots and an easy, messy-on-purpose updo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few of the full look shots in this post are a bit awkward because it was surprisingly windy when I was taking these pictures.. so I apologize if I look grumpy in some of them! I was probably just grumbling at the fact that my hair wouldn't stay in place and my dress wouldn't stop blowing every which way. Haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I hope you found some inspiration in this post! And I hope I have continued to inspire you to go out and thrift, or at the very least dig into your closet and reinvent pieces you already own. </div>

Spring is almost here, the days are getting longer, and happy 100th post to me. Lots to celebrate! :) For my 100th entry I decided to put together my classic, favorite pieces to pay homage to my everyday aesthetic: denim, creepers, and more denim. I don't know that I've ever worn this vintage Converse tee on the blog.. it was originally my husband's from when he was a teenager back in the late 90's, and I have since adopted it as my own. There is nothing more comfortable than a worn in vintage tee, stretchy jeans, and an over-sized denim jacket, and this combination is no exception. And of course I wouldn't be true to myself or my blog (or to you guys, for that matter), if I wasn't wearing mostly vintage pieces for my 100th post. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking back on old entries is always a tricky endeavor because I am never sure if I should criticize or compliment myself.. there is always a fine line between what is or could be better. But in the amount of time I have been on this earth, leading up to this very moment, I have learned that the best thing any of us can do when visiting the past is to celebrate who you are now, because of it. The most exciting, comforting truth in life is change.. and with change we are met with new beginnings, strength of character, creative growth, and self improvement. It's exciting.. encouraging? Seeing how far you've come and how far you can go.. the possibilities are bountiful, and the most important aspect in any journey is to never give up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me from the very beginning, joined me along the way, or are simply here visiting my blog for the first time. You guys mean the world to me.</div>

Here I am yet again wearing another plaid and denim combo. This fearsome duo seems to be my favorite combination as of late as it is such an easy way to throw a comfy look together while adding some texture and definition. As usual most of the pieces I am wearing here are thrifted/old from my closet, and finding new ways to wear pieces that I've owned for quite awhile has become my favorite challenge in styling an outfit. </div>

Lately I have been a tad obsessed with my little black pointed toe ankle boots. I know the ongoing trend in street style right now seems to be platform anything, and while I do love a good platform shoe (my T.U.K. Nosebleed boots seen in previous posts are no exception), I've been wanting to steer my style in a more practical direction for the everyday. As many of you know, I ride my bike everywhere (I do not own a car so my bicycle is my vehicle of transportation), and these little booties allow me to do so while maintaining a sense of my personal expression. :)</div>

Also, I wanted to let you guys know that I have collaborated with an amazing independent, vegan and cruelty free hair dye company based out of Portland, Oregon called <a href="http://www.lunartideshair.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Lunar Tides</span></a>. They recently sent me a couple of dyes (of my choosing) to try out and share with all of you, along with a coupon code: "<b>Susanna</b>", that you can use for 10% off of your purchase if you fancy yourself some mermaid hair! In this post my hair color is in their shade "Amethyst", which is very similar to the shades I have been using in my hair lately to achieve its lavender hue that I have grown to love. I must admit that I am quite pleased with their product thus far. One jar of color seems to saturate my hair so perfectly that it makes application super easy.. and the dyes smell absolutely wonderful! In past experiences I have used dyes that have had a harsh, almost offensive scent to them that often irritate my scalp along with also having to use several jars/bottles of dye even to achieve a very light pastel shade. BUT! This is not the case with <a href="http://www.lunartideshair.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Lunar Tides</span></a>. Their product is a breath of fresh air.. and dye.. and I am a fan for life. Support independent, ethical and sustainable businesses by checking them out:</div>

Is there really a better combination than plaid and denim in any form? I swear I never get tired of mixing the two, especially when I am striving for comfort. This is a typical outfit I wear when I'm just out and about on a day off from work, riding bikes around town with the husband. :)</div>

The shirt is vintage from the 90's, but was originally an oversized tee that I recently cut into a crop top to better suit my style and frame. The material is so worn in and soft that it has become one of my favorite comfy tees to date. I wear it too much!</div>

Everything else I'm wearing you have seen before. No need to explain. Just wanted to post a comfy, casual outfit for a change since this is typically what I wear on a day to day basis. </div>

I can't thank you guys enough for your continued support in my blog. I am making more of an effort to share with you regular, everyday outfits with pieces that I have found at thrift stores because that is where my passion in all of this lies: reused and recycled clothing worn like new. <3</div>

Hey everyone, just a quick post today. Everything I am wearing here is old from my closet.. nothing you can really shop immediately because that's just how it goes sometimes. It was finally a gorgeous sunny winter day here in Oakland so I just threw on some of my favorite pieces and snapped some shots.. no big deal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are lucky here in California (at least where the coast is concerned) because wearing frilly pieces with layering details isn't so unheard of.. a sunny, winter afternoon in the bay area can feel like spring anywhere else.. so long as you bring a jacket for when the sun goes down. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been raining constantly for the past month so I apologize if I am being a bit darling in my speech.. I just adore bright days in February.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love to you all.</div>

Hello friends! This is another look that tricks one into thinking I'm wearing a lot less than I actually am hahaha. While it has stopped raining for the time being, the days are still pretty chilly here so I have been constantly coming up with different ways to layer my favorite pieces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anyone who knows me isn't a stranger to this sweater haha. I wear it often when the weather is cold because it's one of my favorites, but figuring out how to style it in a myriad of ways is always a fun challenge. The sweater is pretty bold on it's own, so I tend to gravitate towards a lot of black when styling pieces around it. For this look I chose to wear it over my velveteen shortalls from Tunnel Vision (you can view the shortalls on their own in a different post <a href="http://www.susannalynnwilds.com/2016/08/tunnel-vision.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>), as well as a long sleeve mesh top underneath. And I won't let chilly days keep me from wearing my favorite fishnet tights! A little trick I use is layering colored tights underneath my fishnets for texture and warmth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For finishing touches I chose my vintage acid wash denim jacket that I customized with a D.I.Y. Adicts back patch, nosebleed boots from T.U.K., as well as styling my hair in pigtails for a kind of urban goth/punk doll vibe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm rambling now.. but you get the idea. On colder days, creative layering is key when trying to keep the integrity of your personal style. Don't be afraid to play around with pieces in your closet.. and never hesitate to take risks! Life is too short to play it safe... or something. ;)</div>

Hey everyone.. top o' the week to you! I *finally* have a new look posted for the blog.. feels good. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I wasn't able to post any looks for the holidays, (because I was so incredibly busy and frazzled and didn't have a moment to breathe), I decided to share with you a look I wore at Christmas now that I finally have the time. Better late than never? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I realize that daisies are a more Spring and Summer type deal, but I love this romper so much that I tend to wear it all year round. And since when am I one to conform to "fashion" rules anyway? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To give the look a more Christmassy and Wintry touch, I paired the romper with sparkly tights (I layered another pair of opaque tights underneath for warmth), tall boots, a long sleeve black mesh top, velvet choker, and my wide brimmed fedora. I think the mix of everything together helped ease the femininity of the daisy print by giving the look a more chic and polished edge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What about you guys? Are there any fashion rules that you ignore when it comes to your personal style? I started this blog as a platform for encouragement to those who tend to break the rules and do whatever they want when it comes to dressing for themselves. This means if I want to wear a floral print in the middle of Winter, white after Labor Day, or black in the dead heat of Summer,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely will. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are no limits. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! The blog should be picking back up again for awhile now that the holidays are behind us. Thanks for sticking with me, and as always, thank you so much for reading.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love to you all. =^.^=</div>

A Year in Review.</div>
<i>*Art by Robin Eisenberg*</i><br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
Hello sweet readers, yes, I know it has been a minute since I have been present over here on my blog. The holidays were quite busy for me, and where I intended on posting a little something several days ago, the wretched flu decided to hunt me down and hold me captive for the better part of a week.<br />
<br />
But here I am now.<br />
<br />
I hope this post finds you happy and well as we venture into the beginning of a new chapter in our lives; a brand new year welcomed with open, flailing arms. 2016 was a mad beast for many of us, with the bad outweighing the good in many circumstances... but as I get older and value the life that has been given to me in spite of the chaos (and sometimes grief), I try to grab onto any and all of the good in order to carve a permanent mark of light in the many chambers of my mind.<br />
<br />
Herein lies this entry; a little collection of photos I've taken and gathered as a kind of lookbook of things that have brought me joy and insight throughout the year. Most, if not all of the photos below can be found on my Instagram, but I decided to provide more of a narrative for them here on my blog that said photo sharing social networking site cannot provide/the photos are more meaningful to me when I don't have a judgmental audience to cater to. (My blog is a more personal space for me as only a certain few tend to read it at this point, whereas Instagram is a kind of nesting ground of random voyeurs looking for a fix.)<br />
<br />
Anyway.<br />
<br />
Cheers to the memories, in no particular order:<br />
<br />

Ahh, the blue hair period. (Aqua, teal, mint, sea breeze?) Whatever color you want to call it, this was a shade that was pretty short lived in the journey that is my hair. Many of you seemed to like it, and while I did too, it was honestly the most difficult hair color to keep up with. I had to color it once a week in order to maintain the pigment, and even at that, the shade would only be perfect for a day.. and start to fade (without even washing it!) everyday thereafter. I don't know.. maybe I will try the blue family once again when Spring/Summer rolls around.. because although the upkeep was the most tumultuous, the color was also the most fun. What do you guys think?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And then there was pink, (again and again, andagainandagainandagain). With every hair color I try, I always seem to come back to pink (it just <i>works</i>). But 2016 was the first year I ever tried Manic Panic (no kidding), and now I am a fan for life. I have tried so many high to low end pastel pony shades out there (*cough*<i>Pravana</i>*cough*<i>Adore</i>) and have never been quite as satisfied as I am with Manic Panic. I guess there's a reason.. they've been around since forever.. and the pigment this brand upholds is absolutely FIERCE. For any who might inquire, I tend to do an updated hair dye routine using Manic Panic in the year ahead. <br />

Aaand here's one of my favorite self portraits with said pink hair. I was really into scrunchies and high ponytails at the time. I was constantly trying to channel 8 year old Susanna during much of 2016. Nostalgia rears its pastel pink head. :D<br />

Ahhh, <a href="http://www.laserkitten.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Laser Kitten</span></a>. I blame/thank <a href="http://www.laserkitten.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Laser Kitten</span></a> for getting me back into the D.I.Y. game. I used to collect buttons and pins and patches and sew them onto anything I could get my hands on, but for some reason or another over the course of the latter years of my life, I just stopped. Booooo. Insert <a href="http://www.laserkitten.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Laser Kitten</span></a>. A badass online shop based out of L.A. that makes the most amazing little everythings I could cry. The pin above is the first piece of merchandise I purchased from them, which then inspired me to start decorating my clothes, jackets, bags, whatever once again to make my wardrobe that much more personal to my personal style. ;) <br />

So, some of you know that my method of transportation for getting around town is riding my bike. And since I tend to carry a lot with me from place to place, I need a large, sturdy bag to accompany me. However not just any old bag will do. For bike riding purposes I like to visit my local army surplus shop for a bag that will serve me well while two-wheeling across the city. Aaand since we're on the subject of D.I.Y., I decided to personalize my most recent cycling bag with some of my favorite pins and patches I've collected over the years... and if you look very closely, you'll spot my <a href="http://www.laserkitten.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Laser Kitten</span></a> pin. :)<br />
<br />
(Fun fact: the "Bowie" patch is actually a cut-out from an old shirt I don't wear anymore but didn't want to throw away.)<br />
<br />

Speaking of cut-outs from old shirts, this Adicts patch is from an extremely old, decrepit concert tee that could not be salvaged save for the logo.. so rather than throwing the shirt away completely, I decided to give my vintage acid-wash denim jacket a little more personality. <br />

Speaking of personality, this is a little corner shelf I put up in our bedroom several months ago as a home for my night light and a few collectibles. (Yes, I still sleep with a night light. The warm, soft glow is simply comforting to me.. I can't really explain.) The happiness this little shelf and its inhabitants bring me whenever I walk into the room is always so confounding<br />
(it really is the little things that count the most).<br />

"Marceline The Vampire Queen".<br />

While we are on the subject of collectibles, many of you know that my husband and I collect records. The little vinyl haul pictured above is from a late Summer/early Fall trip to Reno where we stumbled across one of the raddest little record stores ever, "Recycled Records". Believe it or not, each record is an original pressing which makes the entire haul that much more amazing. <br />

Another amazing little spot we found while visiting Reno was a place called "Junkee Clothing Exchange". This place is seriously one of the best vintage/consignment shops I have ever stepped foot in, and I've stepped foot in many. Maybe it's because Reno is kind of in the middle of nowhere so it doesn't have a stampede of people frequenting its local haunts at any given time, but this shop was ENDLESS and filled with absolutely every magical antique, trinket, and lovingly worn piece of vintage imaginable. No joke. I wish I could have snapped more photos, but I am painfully shy and didn't want the shop employees asking what I was up to. But if you ever find yourself in Reno, "Junkee Clothing Exchange" along with "Recycled Records" are an absolute must to check out.<br />
<br />
Record and thrift shopping versus gambling in stuffy casinos? YES PLEASE.<br />

For good measure, I decided to throw in this photo I took on the last morning we were in Reno. The image is of one of the older Reno motels located in the downtown area. During our visit we would always walk by the little landmark on our way to wherever else it was we were going, and I always felt compelled to snap a picture. I finally did on our last day.. and it somehow perfectly sums up exactly how I felt about Reno as a city and our time spent there as visitors. Reno is a heartbreaking place.. at least in the downtown area where most of the tourists spend their time and the homeless frequent. It is an empty city. Broken, sad, resolved to be sad, with many people there searching every neon-lit corner for a chance at non-existent fortune and fleeting satisfaction. The truth about Reno can be found in these old motel signs coloring the streets with false promises to vagrant dreamers. They compel me.. and I was in awe of nothing in Reno other than these said relics with corner stores and fast food chains stuck vainly between them like old, forgotten trophies.<br />
<br />
The streets of Reno, Nevada are not for the faint of heart. <br />

Moving on to lighter notes, some of my favorite settings for photography lie right here in my neighborhood. My favorite pastime is going on a solo walk with just my camera and snapping photos of anything I please. This house is my favorite. I call it a dollhouse because it absolutely is. Imagine any dollhouse in any children's book ever written, and this is what you will see.<br />

When I'm feeling adventurous and more existential than usual (if that's even possible), I like to visit Oakland's historic cemetery for some soul searching and clarity. This photo was taken at Sunset on a day in Autumn while some friends were visiting from Portland. My husband and I decided to take our friends on a late afternoon hike out to the cemetery, and of course I brought my camera along. It was probably the most beautiful day of the year, for me, for a myriad of reasons. <br />
<br />
Where there is death there is also life.<br />

This is one of my absolute favorite Christmas gifts from my husband, Aaron. This was on a short list of several items I wanted for Christmas, and without my nudging, Aaron decided on this one for me. The pendant contains a piece of an actual butterfly wing. Not to worry.. each butterfly is raised ethically and sustainably, living out its full lifespan before part of its wing is used for the pendant. <br />

Probably the most thoughtful Christmas gift to date: a cat necklace with the word "Morrissey" engraved on it. My sister-in-law, who really I consider my sister, bought this for me at a Morrissey show she attended with my brother. I was invited to come along with them, but I could not afford it at the time because of work and money and blah blah yadda yadda. But if anyone really knows me, I mean really, *truly* knows me, they know my two favorite things in life are cats and Morrissey. The fact that my sister spotted this at his show and knew that I had to have it means the world to me. Love shown through pure and complete thoughtfulness is a gift all on its own, and this means more to me than any material gift itself. <br />
<br />
Funny, happy, sad, grateful... these are a few of the elements in life that make it worth living... that make one an artist of observing, knowing, feeling and empathizing. These are the elements that make everything come full circle, in a never-ending sort of way, as if to say: keep going.<br />
<br />
And with that, I am ever eager, ever hopeful, ever delighted for each twist and turn ahead. But more importantly, I am so incredibly thankful for the present moment, which is where I plan to stay..<br />
with every given second. <br />
<br />
Love to you all. =^.^=</div>

The shirt and skirt I am wearing here are both thrifted pieces I cut to fit my frame. The skirt was originally down to my shins and the shirt a big old mess so naturally after eyeing both pieces at my favorite neighborhood thrift store I scooped them up and brought them home and sliced them up into a brand new look for my closet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered this outfit for chilly weather (because it is finally super cold for us California folk and a high of 60 degrees is asking a lot :P) with pink tights under fishnets and of course, my beloved faux leather jacket that always makes a regular appearance around this time of year. And to incorporate a kind of 'high vs. low' type of deal, I paired my mostly budget outfit with my not so budget platforms that I snatched up from Unif many months back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not much else to say here! Feeling a bit under the weather today so I am just going to take it easy, drink tea, and snuggle with my cats. I hope this look inspired some of you to hit up some thrift stores and/or to dig through your closet and reinvent some pieces you may have been ignoring for awhile. It's always better to try to reuse and recycle first before rushing out the door to find something brand new. :)</div>

Looks like I was lying in my last post when I said I'm not a pants person haha. I guess with every rule there seems to be an exception, and a great pair of trousers is definitely mine. I had actually been on the hunt for a pair of slouchy, slightly over-sized trousers to pair with cropped blouses and band tees, and I found these cuties one day while I was perusing Goodwill with my husband. That day we actually went to a couple of thrift stores where I also found the blouse and sweater seen above... it was a lucky excursion, no doubt! Needless to say I am super ecstatic that almost every single piece in this post is thrifted and/or vintage. The outfit actually came together on a whim one afternoon.. I think I was sort of accidentally on purpose channeling a newsboy circa 1899 hahaha. I did not intentionally purchase any of the articles of clothing mentioned above with the thought of pairing it with the other.. and I think that's the coolest part! The most satisfying outcome of being an avid thrifter is choosing classically versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched with almost anything. :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And there's more where that came from! I made out like a bandit on the day we went thrifting and have other pieces to share with you save for a future post. In the meantime I hope you enjoyed this one! It's finally feeling like real, honest to goodness Autumn here in the Bay Area so I tried to choose a setting for the photos that reflected the season. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have a beautiful week, and for my readers in the states, a very happy Thanksgiving. </div>

Every single item I am wearing in this post is old (hurray! haha) so I decided to go with a theme of "faux leather" since the season is beginning to call for more layers, heavier coats, and always boots. I actually piled on the layers for this look because each piece is pretty light on its own. To break it down, I am wearing lace shorts, black tights, thigh high socks over said tights, a cropped floral tank, a lace blouse underneath said tank, and my faux leather jacket to top everything off. When the weather starts turning chilly my stubborn self tends to refuse to wear pants (I'm just not a pants person! hahaha) so I like to play with layers as much as possible. Obviously you guys already know that I am a sucker for a good shorts and tights combo, so in the fall and winter I like to take full advantage of piling on the tights and knee socks and thigh high socks and whatever else might give me enough warmth to avoid pants at all costs. ;)</div>

The days are getting shorter and the weather is turning colder and all I want to do lately is wrap myself up in a cozy, over-sized sweater, fall in to some sort of timeless slumber and escape from it all. This past month has not been a kind one and while I am okay, my heart is quite heavy with the finite, fickle foe that is life. This look is definitely reserved for days when I have to appear as though I am trying when I'm not really trying at all. Enter this sweater dress. While it makes me feel like I am wearing a big, cozy blanket.. paired with the right accessories it can create a look that is actually somewhat chic and put together. This entire outfit is definitely an example of the kinds of pieces and combinations I will be wearing in the colder months ahead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so I welcome November with open arms. Sweet November with its chilly days and falling leaves and quiet nights at home, and of course, all of the cozy sweaters one can hope for. :)</div>

Bomber jackets seem to be all the rage right now, and while I hadn't planned on jumping on the trend wagon as a "need to have to" kind of deal, when I saw this little baby at Marshall's the other day, well, yes.. I had to have it. Not because of the recent rise in popularity of bombers as a whole, but because it reminded me of a jacket I had back in the early 2000's (sans patches) that I lost a few years ago (it was probably my favorite jacket I ever owned, and I've been pining for it ever since). While I am a bit wary of buying items that are "patched" or "distressed" via the manufacturer (as I prefer to go the d.i.y. route when it comes to that kind of stuff), I made an exception just this once. And anyway, who cares? Wear what makes you happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In coming up with this look I think I was channeling a sort of school girl meets salty fisherman kind of combination hahaha. I never want to be too feminine but I always want to be extra ridiculous so there you have it.. my imbalanced style formula in a nutshell. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's does it for now! The weather is turning a bit cooler with each new day of Fall, so be prepared for more chilly weather posts moving forward (unless we get another random heat wave thrown in the mix haha). Thanks so much for stopping by!</div>

I shot this outfit last week when I still had blue hair, well... the blue was practically nonexistent and the color faded to a kind of pale green.. like I had been in a chlorine filled swimming pool for too long haha. So while the original pictures turned out "okay", I decided to do a re-shoot with my new pink hair (and with a little more time to spare), and am happy to say that the pictures turned out a million times better with the second try. :) Thus the explanation as to why I took a week off from posting. Quality over quantity, as they say. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I had been wanting to wear this little d.i.y. cropped tee on the blog since July. I found it in the men's section at Goodwill and had to have it immediately because of the print. Granted I have never been to Cuernavaca, Mexico, but I just loved the little yin yang design on the shirt and knew I could easily turn it into a crop top, so there ya go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rest of the outfit is pretty self explanatory to my style. It seems as though everyone in the fashion blogging world right now is doing a "back to school" themed post with what they deem to be back to school attire. I guess this would be my go to look, save for the fishnet tights (because we *still* live in a patriarchal world.. and always will). But if I were to modify this outfit to be more school appropriate, I would simply replace the fishnets with black opaque tights. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Honestly, I have been out of school for quite awhile now and I feel for those of you who are still in the trenches, trying to find yourselves and express exactly who you are with the constant fear of being ridiculed by your peers. I commend you. For those of you still dealing with all of that, let me tell you that while ridicule and judgement will always exist, it gets better, and so will you. Just please always be yourself, and wear whatever fills your heart and soul with confidence and joy. If people give you a second glance, be proud. Relish in being different. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Above all else, please always spread kindness no matter what, and never, ever, abandon who you are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey guys! I do apologize for the lack in photos today. I shot these pictures kinda late and as soon as the sun begins to set that's when some of the neighborhood riff raff like to come around. I didn't run into any trouble with anyone, but a cop did show up and park himself at the lot next to where I was snapping pics, and I got a little spooked. Honestly it's the cops that make me more uncomfortable than anything else, but that's a whole different story haha. Needless to say I packed up my camera kinda early and decided to just go with the photos I already had. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, these velveteen shortalls! This is a custom made piece that I purchased from my favorite online shop at the moment: <a href="https://shoptunnelvision.com/" target="_blank">"Tunnel Vision"</a>. The gals that run this little independent clothing brand are absolutely amazing. They promote female empowerment and equality in such a refreshing way it's contagious. All of their models are absolutely beautiful and there is no singular body type that <a href="https://shoptunnelvision.com/" target="_blank">Tunnel Vision</a> conforms to.. it is seriously the most refreshing clothing site I have come across in a long time.. maybe in forever? I found them on Instagram and I am definitely a fan for life. I plan to bring the shortalls around on the blog again soon with more pics so you can see it in better detail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That wraps it up for now. I hope everyone has an absolutely beautiful week! And of course, thanks so much for reading. I am so grateful for every single one of you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had been wanting to share this dress on the blog for some time now, particularly with this floral background, and now I finally can! Having my gosh darn camera in the shop for all that time was practically torture haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the dress at a Goodwill down the street from where I live. What initially attracted me to it was the color; an ever so light shade of coral. When I saw it I immediately had to try it on, and when I did, not only did it fit perfectly, but I instantly fell in love with the contrast in color of the coral with my mint hair. A cotton candy daydream come to life. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Naturally I had to add a bit of an edge to the dress by pairing it with my nosebleed boots (I swear they make every outfit shine), mood choker, and wide brimmed fedora. I think I was channeling a kind of gothic Alice in Wonderland when I styled this look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At long last, I finally have my camera back! If you follow me on Instagram you are probably aware that I broke my camera sometime last month, so I had to take it to the shop for repairs. The damn thing always requires about 4 - 5 weeks to be fixed (yup, not the first time my baby's been broken... *cough*), but it's under warranty so I really can't complain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But hey! That means I'm back to posting regularly, and with so many new little bits and pieces to share with you. :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The romper I am wearing here I purchased from <a href="http://www.gypsywarrior.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Gypsy Warrior</span></a>, an independent clothing shop based out of the Los Angeles area. Unfortunately I had to get it tailored to fit my frame because it was ordered online and ended up fitting me like a pillowcase. Luckily I have an awesome tailor, but she is so careful not to ruin a piece that it actually took two trips to see her in order to get the sizing right haha! After all is said and done, however, I am super in love. This bright and cheery little number is incredibly comfortable and soft in every way, and would be perfect to throw over a bathing suit (for those beach and/or swimming pool shindigs one might attend). If you guys are ever hesitant to order something online because of sizing, just do a bit of research, find a great tailor, and she or he will work wonders. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, not much more to say here! So happy to be posting again.. thanks for bearing with me during my hiatus and for all of your continued support. I have lots of new and thrifted pieces to share with you, so stay tuned!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a>At long last, I finally decided to do a post about how I maintain my pastel hair! Currently my hair is a cool shade of mint, but this technique can apply to any pastel shade. If you have been following me since the beginning, you are well aware that my hair has been various shades of pastel including lavender/lilac and pink/coral. Please note that I am NOT a professional; this is simply how I've been doing my hair for the past several years and what seems to work the best for me as far as time, money, and maintenance. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also (and this is probably the most important information that you might take away from this post): your hair MUST BE BLEACHED FIRST if you want to achieve any sort of pastel shade. Even if your hair is a dirty shade of blonde, the color will NOT show up. YOU ABSOLUTELY, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT HAVE TO BLEACH IT. IT WILL NOT BE PASTEL IF YOU DON'T. I know bleach is scary, but it really isn't <i>that </i>scary if you have someone to help you. I am sorry to burst your bubble if you were hoping to have My Little Pony hair simply by putting a little color on top of a darker shade, but bleach has to be a part of the process, and the bleach NEEDS TO REACH A LEVEL 10 BLONDE (example <a href="http://haircolor.wikia.com/wiki/Level_10" target="_blank">here</a>) if you want to achieve any pastel hues in your hair. I'm sorry! It's just hair science. :(</div>

This is a photo of my mint hair before I touched it up with a bit of color. I tend to update my hair about every two weeks. As with any pastel shade, it seems to fade to a silvery version of its original shade after several washes. Keep in mind that I wash my hair about every 3 days to maintain the color as it fades super quick with each shampoo. If you are someone that absolutely has to wash your hair every single day (honestly you shouldn't, because it is not healthy for your hair), your color will fade much faster.</div>

I am super lucky because I have a beauty supply store two blocks away from where I live, so any time I run out of dye or wanna switch up my color, I can go for a quick walk and I have pretty much everything I need at my beckoned call. The brand 'Adore' is nothing fancy, but it does the trick. My store carries every shade of it imaginable and 'Emerald' is the color I chose in order to achieve my mint hair.</div>

<b><u>The Process</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1.) Fill your bowl with conditioner</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use A LOT of conditioner every single time I touch up my hair. Since dye is pretty harsh , and since I put my hair through this process more often than one should (beauty is pain.. or something.. haha), I use this as an opportunity to deep condition my mane while also touching it up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2.) Add a tiny bit of color</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since this is a post about <i>pastel </i>hair, a little color goes a long way. If you add too much to your conditioner, it may come out a bit brighter than you want. I always recommend starting out with just a little bit of color and adding more as you go.</div>

I wanted my color to be a <i>little </i>more pigmented than the first mixing of dye, so I simply added a bit more of the emerald to achieve a richer shade. </div>

There, that's better. I realize the shade in this picture looks almost like an electric blue, but you have to realize that after you wash it out with shampoo, your hair will be at least a shade or two lighter than the original color you mixed in the bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>5.) Saturate, and wait.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The process of applying the dye to your hair is entirely up to you, but I usually start with my roots by applying the color with my brush in sections, and then adding the rest of the color to my hair with my hands in the same way I would shampoo it. The technique, at least for me, is not as important as the saturation. As long as you make sure that every single strand of hair is completely saturated with color, you should achieve your desired result. (I should also note that I do not use gloves for this particular process. Since I am only using a tiny bit of color in relation to a large amount of conditioner, I have found that the dye does not affect my hands and washes off just fine with warm water and soap. But if you prefer to use gloves just to be safe, go for it!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I apply the dye, I leave it in for about 40 minutes (40 minutes is the maximum amount of time it takes for color to process before it stops developing). When time is up, I rinse my hair out with warm water and shampoo and condition as usual, and then I style it however I want!</div>

The very first photo in this post is obviously an 'after' photo as well, but I thought I'd throw in another for good measure. ;) Anyway, I hope this was a little bit helpful to those of you who were curious about how I maintain my pastel hair. Let me remind you again that I am not a professional and I certainly do not maintain my hair in the most conventional, 'beauty guru' type of way. This is simply what works for me! I did go to cosmetology school for a little while several years ago, but almost everything I learned there has escaped me, and I kinda just make the rules up as I go along. :)</div>

Thank you so much for reading!! As I've said before, I plan to implement more posts like this within my blog to add variety and switch things up a bit.. you know.. to keep things lively and interesting haha. Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to post about that isn't just outfits! Right now my camera is in the shop for repairs (I um.. dropped it while out on one of my photo-taking excursions), so my regular outfit posts will be out of commission for a few weeks. I *do* have a backup camera but am not sure where the USB cable for it is *crycrycry*, so in the meantime I will try to come up with different ideas for posting. Anyway, I hope you have a beautiful week, and I will talk to you again here very soon!</div>
