Hi loves! Firstly want to say I've missed you all so very much!  Apologize for the hiatus as things in my life right now have been extremely busy, or more so there recently was a big change in my life and needed time to take care of myself.  You know when something that becomes natural and routine suddenly disappears from your life?  Well, that's what happened to me kind of and sorry for speaking in riddles but it's the only way I can express myself right now.  Anyways lovelies, hope you understand for the hiatus, thank you for being patient in this time I need to get myself better.

My blog has been my biggest love and passion for this past year and a half, and just wanted to give a big thank you and shoutout to all who've supported and seen this blog grow from its baby steps (or anywhere in between) and who continue to give amazing support♥.

This outfit is probably one of my go-to ones with the basics: blouse tucked in to a high-waisted jean short with cross-body bag and sandals.  The blouse from LuLus is my most fave part because it has this gorgeous lace detail on the shoulders.  And the bow adds the sweet factor.

Keep inspiring Beautifuls, have an amazing weekend and week ahead!!
P.S. Happy belated Father's Day to all the daddy's out there! Here's a photo and shoutout to my wonderful daddy and grandpa, they've been the biggest support throughout everything, and very grateful to have them in my life.

♥, Kathleen.

    

Teal sunshine.

Brown Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunglasses, Teal c/o Beginning Boutique lace cut-out dress (similar here), Bracelets: white F21 pyramid, vintage watch, ASOS spike, Zooshoo buckle bracelet via Jamie from Fancy Teacup's STYLE/STALK sale, Ivory c/o Beginning Boutique bold ruler ring, Black Mimi Boutique bag via Chictopia, Tan Zara buckle heels.

This is the very first official post with my new short hair!!  I decided spontaneously last memorial day weekend to cut it the shortest it has ever been and have to say I am looving it so far!  The change is just what I needed and so appropriate with all the new things happening in my life, just graduated and now new full-time job.

Decided with this outfit to keep it fairly simple, to focus on the gorgeous details of this dress and add my favorite part to an outfit, accessories.  Which btw, excited to share the new Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunnies I have been dying over!  Can finally call them mine :).  K lets talk about this beyond beautiful dress from Beginning Boutique: 1) has this beautiful unique teal lace fabric, 2) the cut-outs in the back are so darling & fun, 3) my go-to summer dress. 

Newhoo lovelies, want to apologize for the hiatus again, I'm just getting used to this 9 to 5 schedule!  But soon getting the hang of things and blog posts will be coming again naturally.  I've missed you loves!  How's everything been going?  Hope you had a great week, and HAPPY FRIDAY!! And as Rihanna would say, "Cheers to the fricken' weekend" ;).

♥, Kathleen.

    

Studded sneaks.

Dark brown Brandy Melville floral chiffon dress, Brown Karen Walker Number One sunglasses, Vintage Coach bucket bag, White Converse sneakers DIY studs.

Decided to share one of my fave DIY projects, placing simple studs on the back of my white Converse..think it adds more fun to the stark white sneaker.  This will probably be my typical summer lounge outfit..past Sunday was a nice warm breezy 80 degree day.  Don't you love too when it's still warm at night?? That's when I know it's summertime!

So I am super excited because another Karen Walker addition will be coming to me soon!!  Caved in and got the Super Duper Strength sunnies..they're my favorite shape for sunglasses, round and big -- very Olsen twin-esque.

So thought I'd share with you my random thoughts on my hair..I think I'm going to make a big change this time!  This coming weekend going to head to the salon to get my hair cut in a bob, shoulder length or bit shorter (to leave enough room for curling hair).  Thought it'd be an appropriate time with all these big changes happening! Here's some of my inspiration for short hair on my Pinterest. I'm thinking a cross of Alexa Chung/Olivia Palermo, and really adoring Kiko Mizuhara's hair lately.

Have a lovely week ahead beautifuls! and Happy Tuesday!!

♥, Kathleen.

    

White out.

White Sway peplum top, Tan floral denim shorts via Buffalo Exchange, Brown c/o Swellmayde envelope clutch, Black/brown Zara buckle heels, Jewelry: Ivory c/o Beginning Boutique gold ring, Coach rings, Brandy Melville wishbone bracelet, F21 and vintage bracelets.

When I spotted this pretty peplum beauty from Sway the other day, I knew it was a winner.  I love the sleek lines and classy fit..and not to mention the white crisp color.  Decided to pair it off with floral denim I found at local Buffalo Exchange.  Been searching for a pair of floral denim -- love this one with a neutral hue perfect to go with anything in my closet.  And voila! ..a new addition to my overgrowing shoe collection..these Zara heels were calling my name.  I checked and they said my size was out in the sf store..but luckily the shoe gods were nice and I came back to find these in my exact size waiting for me.

Wanted to apologize for the hiatus lovelies, was trying to soak up this past week I had off before I start full-time in my new job!  It is surreal that I just graduated this past Monday..no longer needing to worry about finals or early morning lectures.  Off to be a working girl!  Hope you lovelies have a sweet week ahead!

♥, Kathleen.

    

Tweed & tie-dye.

Zara tweed jacket, Red tie-dye vintage Levis jean shorts, Brown Karen Walker Number One sunglasses, Black Mimi Boutique bag via Chictopia, Nude pumps, Silver Crossroads, F21 rings.

Got this amazing tweed biker jacket a while ago from Zara, it's gorgeous..my fave is the black edge details.  Always wanted a tweed jacket, this one will do until I can afford one from Chanel one day! ;)  

My lust and love for Isabel Marant's tie-dye jeans remain..so this is what inspired the outfit.  Brought out my tie-dye jean slasher shorts I found from Wasteland on Haight in SF.  One of my fave thrift-find gems.  Keeping it simple, classic and sleek with the Mimi Boutique purse and nude pumps.

One more final to go!!!  The final of all finals..fin! (french for end ;p), which is appropriate because my last final is for my French class ;).  Count-down until graduating, about 4 days!!!  Going to go shopping after my last final tomorrow as MUCH needed retail therapy..and will be looking for a dress for graduation day!  Look out for instagram posts to help me decide, thanks lovelies!

P.S. Since Mother's Day is this weekend, thought I'd give a big shoutout to my biggest style icon in my life..my Mommy <3.  She's the one who actually got me into thrift and vintage shopping, she has a beautiful eye for style.  And this song is dedicated to my mom..Taylor Swift always depicts everything perfectly :).

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms!!

Have an amazing rest of your week, FRIDAY'S ALMOST HEREEE! ;)

♥, Kathleen.

    

Ombre edge.

Ivory DIY Studded Guess leather jacket (cool leather jackets here and here), Light blue Style Stalker ombre dress, Bracelets: friendship wrap bracelet via TINNLILY, Silver leather tie bracelet c/o Maya Brenner, vintage watch; Black vintage Dooney & Bourke satchel, Tan Zara wedges.

I've been meaning to share some of my DIY stud projects and finally here's one of them!  Oddly enough this only took me about 20 minutes to complete..definitely felt like this jacket needed some more interest, so thought, why not add silver studs?

Decided to play off the silver studs, with jewelry, arm candy complete.  This ombre Style Stalker dress is completely amazing -- I scored it for an amazing price at Loehmann's in SF.  I love the sheer panel detail in the middle.  One thing I think I'll be very obsessed with this summer is ombre, can't get enough..aand tie-dye as well, have you seen Isabel Marant's tie-dye jeans? gah, I die.

Lastly, I thought I'd take out my Zara wedges from the closet for once..these beauties are still my all-time favorite wedges, so glad I scored and found them last summer!

Have an amaazing week ahead lovelies!  Lets get through this week together!  It's crunch time for me, finals is coming fast, but I plan to push through!

Keep inspiring loves!

♥, Kathleen.
