This sequin dress is super iridescent and makes me feel like I have scales (in a good way). That being said, I still don't feel it is too Vegas-y because of the long sleeves and high neck...but as we have already established, I am way more into sequins than normal humans.

Halloween

On Whitney: c/o Lulu's Major Cool Hooded Military Jacket, thrifted polkadot button-up, Joe's Jeans Colored Skinnies, Gold Asos purse, thrifted Madewell loafers (similar here)

Whoops, realized that I looked like an elf dressed in green from head to toe. I guess I'll have a costume for Halloween after all?

everyday

On Mallory: slouchy white tee from CottonOn, Silver sequin skirt from HM, Teal Coach crossbody bag, vintage pointy toe white heels.

My addiction to sequins continues unchecked.  As you can see, I am strongly in favor of wearing sequins on a regular day (even though this skirt is  much tamer than my other recent sequin wardrobe additions...you just wait).  Fancy skirt plus slouchy tee..BOOM casual.

p.s. Where is my arm in the last photo!

Monterey Bay

On Whitney: thrifted button-up and shorts, American Eagle belt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Groovee purse, Zara sandals

Spent the weekend at Monterey Bay celebrating my birthday!  The boyfriend surprised me with a Korilakkuma stuffed animal and took me to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Mal knew everything about the aquarium so we bothered her all day.  Ended the trip with an overload of clam chowder, one of my favorite foods of all time.  There were so many clam chowder samples at the pier that I got sick.

Come see what we are like in person (fun!). We will be there selling some stuff from our closet and hanging out :)  You will also have the chance to buy some goodies from designers Ariel Simone and Zachary Pryor!

AdR for HM

On Mallory: Anna dello Russo for H&M necklace, J. Crew Sweater, DIY clutch, Joe's Jeans, Bellisma by DV boots

I went to the opening of AdR for HM because I love crocodiles (you may have noticed my croc belt).  I was also hoping to nab a pair of the glasses, even though Whitney thinks the crocs kind of look like eyebrows, but unfortunately they were sold out. HM didn't have limits on the number of purchases per person, so even though I wasn't far from the front of the line, people bought hundreds of items and bought out the stock.  I later saw some SF-based ebayers selling items for more than twice the retail price...
