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.

    

Comfort & polish.

Brown Karen Walker Number One sunglasses, Green/black Zara leather parka jacket, Ivory Urban Outfitters lace top, Dark blue Citizens of Humanity 'Dylan' boyfriend jeans, Gold HM necklace, Ivory vintage Chanel clutch, Ivory gold c/o Beginning Boutique bold ruler ring, Black Zara heels.

So lets talk about boyfriend jeans...I've been dying to find the best pair for my body shape, firstly I wanted one that would hug the right places, but is loose and comfy at the knees.  Finally on my last trip to Macy's in SF, I found it!!  And I scored it for such a great price with the 25% off Friends and Family sale ;).  Anyways, so to reveal the great pair of jeans, they're the Citizens of Humanity 'Dylan' bf jeans.  I'm still on a search though for the best boyfriend jeans in a lighter wash, so please let me know if you recommend any good ones ;)!  Currently looking into J Brand or Current Elliot.

Anyways, now onto this jacket from Zara, loove how polished and interesting it looks..esp the fit of it.  Which btw, Zara can do no wrong, I've been crazy addicted to going on their site ever since they had online shopping for the US..this is good for procrastinating but not good for trying to do work! ;P

Anyways, how're you lovelies doing?!  School's almost up, we're on reading and review week, which is a whole week off from classes before finals hit..I have to say we're spoiled here at Cal with this week.  Now off to make the most of it!  Have an amazing rest of your week lovelies! Friday's almost here! ;)
