Black Thrifted Romper

I used to wear more colors, but black clothing came into my life and I can't get enough of it! I have joined the dark side and I will wear black for all seasons. Black is classic and should be part of your color scheme all year around. I thrifted this black romper a few weekends ago and I can't stop wearing it! It's very versatile, therefore I can simply add a coat, change up my shoes, and bam a new look. Check out my recent video [1 Romper 3 Looks].

Cut-Out Shoes - Thrifted

I also created a few looks using Polyvore, to provide more outfit ideas and so you all can purchase these looks if you like them. Plus, Polyvore is basically a girl's dream internet closet.

I want to be a 90s kid:

This gives off a fall/winter vibe.... because I want summer to end already.

Favorite Pastime ... Thrifting of Course!

If I'm not curled up in my bed watching movies, I'm probably thrifting. The thing I love most about thrifting is that rush you get when you find an amazing piece. Recently I found a retro black romper and I wished I could wear it every single day! It's chic, versatile, and BLACK - enough said. Sorry for this tease, but I will share this romper in a future post. Today I wanted to showcase a few thrift finds that I shared in a lookbook on youtube: [Thrifted // Summer Lookbook 2015].

Wrinkles for texture? Irons are overrated? I would like to apologize again (sorry not sorry), I was too excited to share this post. Therefore, I didn't take the time to iron the pieces after wearing them for my lookbook haha.

Real Humans...

Hello,

I just wanted to stop by and drop some thoughts.

I am getting tired of hearing "real men ..." this and "real women ..." that. I want to put it out there, that I am not going against those popular slogans. I just want to challenge everyone to think from a different perspective.

Yes to no violence, yes to "real men don't hit women". But more strongly YES to no one should hit anyone else. And no to "real women have curves", because in reality some don't. Some women are naturally thin and some do wish they could gain more curves while others don't. Therefore saying "you're so skinny" is offense too, its like saying "you're heavy". I don't want to go in depth with this image topic because I want to discuss it in a later post.

What I'm trying to convey is that we all should thrive for equality for everyone. So let's start with "Real HUMANs treat one another with love and respect".

I will be first to say, I am not perfect and I do make mistakes. However, as I am getting older I want to continue to become a better person. I do this by voicing my opinion and just trying to make a little difference in the lives I encounter. I truly do believe that everyone has the opportunity to change the world in small or big acts. So I want to challenge you to strive to be a better person and to challenge others to do the same. It's easy to make judgments on others, so please take the time to understand one another - love & respect.

Until next time, be kind to one another.

Forgotten...

Hello,

It's me again, Liz! I hope this on & off again post situation is working for the both of us...

This past weekend, PM and I went exploring a few new places. I don't know why but I am so drawn by abandoned places, it's so trilling and terrifying all at the same time. I honestly find these places so breath-taking and amazing. However, in the back of my head, I always assume there was a crime committed here and the criminal is just hiding out in this run-down barn. And that is when you know you've been watching too many crime shows haha! I am currently binge-watching Criminal Minds, so s/o to any fans!!

I want to encourage you all to unplug yourself and just go explore the world around you! You will be surprised by what you can find around your town. Take a different route to school/work, take time to smell the roses, and make time to enjoy the little things in life.

Until next time, have an adventurous day lovelies!

Trip #2 to Joshua Tree

Well hello again,

I am here to confess that I am a nature junkie! I really do enjoy just escaping from everything and taking a hike or camping somewhere. This past January I went camping in Joshua Tree for the second time with some friends and PM. Spending time with friends, catching up, and just entertaining ourselves without technology was a well spent weekend. My first camping experience was great as well and you can check it out here on my friend Jenn's blog post: [click here].

I am looking forward to my next trip. I hope next time it will be in a forest, that would be amazing!

17 January 2015

Looking back at those two trips I realized I might have not packed accordingly. And this brings me to my next point, I would recommend only packing the essentials. Yes bring your cell phone but don't constantly be on it. A post or two is fine, but don't let it consume your own trip and experience. And this MILK article definitely nailed the list of things you would ever need for camping and traveling! It was a pleasant read and I am going to re-think my essentials for my next trip.

Until next time, have a good day lovelies!

What's up San Francisco?

Hello beautiful faces,
How are all of you? I hope you guys had a fun-filled and cozy winter break!

______________________________________________________________________
Here are a few photos from my SF trip. I actually enjoyed the car ride more than sight seeing in San Francisco. This is because there were so many amazing landscape to experience, from mountains, lakes and flat farm lands. Don't get me wrong, San Francisco is a beautiful city in it's own right and I probably need to explore more than just one day. So SF was freezing, I didn't expect it to be so cold! It was overwhelming since there were so many tourist including ourselves haha. I think the bike ride to the Golden Gate Bridge was the best part of the trip for me. All in all, I think it was a successful trip and it was my first time really leaving SoCal. I also have a video recap of my trip so please check it out here: [click here].

Until next time, I hope you all have a wonderful year filled with happiness & love!
