I never left my house to go out and buy clothes in forever (or left my house period) but was lucky enough while browsing Facebook to spot that Dani was selling some of her clothes I’m all for buying second-hand so I hopped on to it and purchased these three:

Left to Right: AA skirt ($22), vintage over-sized denim button-up ($5), navy Forever21 lace dress ($8).
What’s funny is that you can see her wearing the same denim button-up in this LB photo. hahaha!

I’ve never been much of a skirt kind of girl until just recently, and if you take a peek in my closet you’ll find that there are only two in there (pathetic, right?!); one of which is white and the other black. When I noticed this little detail, I was like, “Shit! These colors are too safe! I can’t work with this!” (I like to overreact). So I went and got Dani’s red skirt and now I’m, like, dangerous.

If you need me, I’ll be in my cave

In hopes of cleaning out my overflowing bookmarks, I’ve added a new category to this blog dubbed Made me Look where I’ll just be posting things from all over the Internet that…made me look. The content of these posts will span a wide range of areas, from art & design to fashion, photography, animation & illustration. Enjoy!

Les Enfants S’ennuient le Dimanche

I posted this over at my Tumblr but could not resist posting it here too! It is an Oliver Peoples 2010 campaign video, starring Elijah Wood & Shirley Manson. The music, the styling, the whole atmosphere is just…so beautiful. I find it adorable that Elijah is shorter than Shirley.

I urge you to listen to Zee Avi‘s whole album now now now!

Starring Elijah Wood + Shirley Manson, Song: “Just You and Me” by Zee Avi, Directed by Autumn de Wilde
