Getup Threads

It's hard for me to take pictures of what I'm wearing when I'm California cause I don't have an automatic timer on my camera and there isn't anyone who will put up with me everyday to take them. So for now expect some random shots and a lot of outfit composers!

It's Africa Hot right now. I don't know why especially since it's been overcast for almost a week now. Regardless, I'm dying in the heat so I couldn't be bothered to wear too much today or try and look super cute.

Which brings us to our monthly WIFEBEATER DAY! Today's wife beater day was a bit difficult because I've compiled a huge accessory collection since I've been here so couldn't figure out which shoes to match with earrings or if I wanted to wear a necklace.

Start out with:
Add:
(Skinny Jeans obvi because I'm currently obsessed.)

Old Sac/Getup Threads (Baby edition)

I'm finally back from my trip to Sacramento, or as they so graciously call it 'New Sac.' I couldn't have had a better time you paid me to be there. It's always been hard for me to split my time between my maternal and paternal families (especially since everyone is spread from Vancouver to London) but I'm so glad that I had the chance to visit my big brother (paternal) in SacTown!

I spent the majority of the time bugging my adorable nephew and bonding with my AMAZING sister in law. We've known each other for 8 years but only see each other at weddings or family reunions so we've never had a real opportunity to bond. We had a 15 min discussion on Team Edward vs. Team Jacob which in turn lead us to sneaking out of the house so we could go and see Eclipse. We decided if we were the same age, we would have been the perfect roommates. 

Look at his Cheeks.
After he took a three hour nap on me I thought he'd be ready to play, no he wanted to sleep more.

His clothes are on backwards, new parents-what to do!
The earrings are clip on vintage Chanel, I have my ears pieced but pulling them off at the end of the day like Grace Kelly makes me feel so glamourous. 
Shirts I made him, the one on the right is an inside joke with my little sister.
I miss him already!
I wore a couple of cute outfits but didn't take any full outfit post pictures, sorry! But here are some super cute baby outfits I bought/made...:D

Until tomorrow...

Globetrottin'

Since I'm already in California, it only makes sense to go and visit some family on the side of the 50 nifty states! I'm flying to Sacremento in order to visit my cousin, his wife, and their new baby! 


I've been begging all of my married cousins to have a child for 9 years now. Let me claify and say that I only needed one of them to have a child. After that one child was born, I said I was done and don't need anymore. But lucky me my oldest cousins on both my mom and dad's side had a kid this year! I got a girl who I'm obsessed with and spend every waking moment possible with, and a boy who I'm going to visit tomorrow! 



Attention cousins: please note that you do not need to have children in order to maintain our friendship anymore. My empty threats shall cease now that I have not one, but TWO little bundles to spend my money on. Thank you to those two for their cooperation.


That is all.


p.s. First trip to Sacremento!


Until tomorrow...

Getup Threads

I've always been a hippie at heart, but being in So Cal is nothing less than inspiring. Everyone here has such an effortlessly chic and organic, I love it. Here was my attempt to be as beautiful and simple as everyone around me. 


The jacket I have is so old it's almost vintage, I got it from Forever 21 years ago and it's still one of my favorite pieces. It looks like this one from Buckle but mine is cropped and faded a little more. I felt so chic yet comfortable all day, and all the materials were surprisingly light so I wasn't burning up


Shirt: H&M
Jacket: Forever 21 (Buckle)
Jeans: Old Navy Rockstars
Shoes: Payless
Bag: Urban Outfitters


Until tomorrow...
