Everyday life

10 Jun

I hope everyone is having an awesome week! We’ve had nothing but rain, fog, and chilly cold here in San Francisco (when does it stop being winter?) and the upcoming forecasts for the summer don’t look that much great either. So when NEET Magazine asked me to come up with some ideas for things to bring along for my dream summer vacation, it wasn’t all that difficult!
It is where I will be going for most of August…..Mexico! I’m so incredibly excited about it. It is where my parents are from, we’ll be staying in the home my dad built for my mom when they got married and before they moved to the US.

Jojoba oil goes with me where ever I go! Moleskin, check! Mini Diana (this may have to wait until after the summer, but I’ll be bringing my Colorsplash with me instead). We won’t be by the beach but we may visit one for the day, and we can go in a river or hot springs instead. Comfy sandals, cute glasses, and pretty dresses is what I’ll be living in during August.

Thank you so much to the folks at NEET for featuring me…check out the whole issue which features a few other bloggers and their worldwide destinations.
There has been a lot of blog events here in SF and it’s so nice to see so many friendly faces. Everyone I meet is so sweet and stylish.
A few snaps of my head before I left the house only because the lighting seemed absolutely perfect.

This was at the Indeeyo launch party. Where we browsed some amazing bags!
Still annoyed at how the low light kind of ruined lots of my photos though.

Lots of nice gals that I love seeing here in SF! Click on their photos to visit their blogs

There are tons of more people and photos I didn’t get a chance to capture, head on over to Jeanne and Becca‘s blogs to see them. Thank you so much Jeanne for inviting me!
And then just the other night Elisabeth invited us to visit the Vince store downtown for a chance to check out the new Vince merch but also meet a really awesome image consultant, Micki Turner.

I spy Kim (check out her post on the nights event too!)

A very cute Jeanne, we spent the night obsessing over all the sparkly things!

And because I’m still on my tomboy style kick, I really liked how my outfit came out.

Jacket: thrifted kids vintage. Top: Vince, gift from sister Pants: Zara. Shoes: YSL heels from Buffalo Exchange.

weather permitting, I’m hoping to dress more like this instead of like it’s still December.

    You look so gorgeous! I love your top knot! It is always so satisfying to tie a good one! I pretty much only wear my hair in topknots or side plaits (except when it's down!) I find I have so much hair – and it is so heavy, that they are the only hair styles that don't give me a headache!

    I want a little bun like yours!!

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    it definitely is at it's best bun-ness since it's this length. Some times people are very surprised at how long my hair is when I unfurl the bun

    Yay so happy to have seen you too! We missed you at the Indeeyo party, people kept asking for you!

  • Starryeyedcharlie

    You are so pretty! Also, your bangs grew out. I so wish I could pull mine back at this point. After June in Vegas they just stick to my forehead.
    Congratulations on the Neet spot!

    Could you be any cuter? I don't think it is possible.  I like your feature in N.E.E.T. – I am right there with you regarding needing a pair of sunglasses and comfy sandals.  The basics will always take you far.

  • http://www.iamchiconthecheap.com/ Lyddiegal

    I agree with you on your headshot lighting – your eyes look so bright green and your lips are an amazing coral that compliments them so well!

    You feature in neat is fab, and i hope you enjoy your time on vacation… it sounds like it will be wonderful!

  • Tea_for_two

    Those bags! Oh dear, my bag fetish is raising its head.

    Looks like it was a fantastic event.

    send the rays over! it looked like this weekend was supposed to be warm, but it pulled a fast one on us…back to cold and cloudy

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    you're so sweet, thank you :) I can't wait to hear about your Mexico adventures!!!

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    Yes, I havent cut them in ages I can finally grab them all in my ponytail! Every so often I contemplate cutting the bangs again…but then I remember how annoying they are at times, cute, but annoying

  • the nyanzi report

    Good stuff. I like the head shots. You are beautiful!

  • http://www.i-melda.blogspot.com/ Imelda

    Great post! You look so beautiful in these pictures!
    I'm jalous that you'll be going to Mexico. I've always wanted to go there, but for the moment I can't afford it :)

    I'm a huge fan of sparkly things too, so that piece of clothing looks so nice to me :)

  • Sales Rack Raider

    Have a great time in Mexico!
     
    Loving the tomboy outfit–very hip and timeless.  Fitted blazers are awesome. 

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    I can't afford it all the time either, that's why I havent been back since 2006!

  • Orchid Grey

    congrats on the NEET feature, I love your travel picks! Also, I love the lip color you're wearing in the two head shots, where is it from? 

    can't wait to meet you at the SF swap!

  • Gaby

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    it's Revlon #702 Blase Apricot in the green tube. It's orangey with a pink/coral twist, it was my first time wearing it out and I really liked it! Thank you

    So. Awesome. x hivenn

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    thank you. It really is a luxury that I may not be able to enjoy like this for a long time. I'm taking advantage of it this year because my current job is a school, therefore on summer break. This has never happened to me before while working! So I'm pretty stoked about it!

  • http://www.fashionlimbo.com/ Fashion Limbo

    really cool that you were featured in that magazine! the event looks really nice too, they had some really beautiful bags. Don't think you have a tomboy vibe by the way, your outfit ends up being really femenine and sexy ;)

    Congrats on the Neet Magazine feature! I am loving your self portraits! You look fabulous in them!

  • Tea_for_two

    Congrats on the NEET feature. I've been meaning to contribute something to that mag since I discovered it a while ago as I love their focus on grass roots fashion and up-and-coming creative people. And, MEXICO?! So jealous!

  • http://stayinthelines.blogspot.com Jaclyn

    Such a fun feature. I love the bathing suit you picked out. Just reading your blog for the first time, it's great, I love your style. 

  • Jessica Yang

    Love the masculine look! And those YSLs – classic and gorgeous

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    yeah, and they were a little specific on what I could feature, it had to fall within their mantra. which I find awesome that they would even ask me to do this!

  • http://thrifteye.com/ Eli

    Awesome! thank you for taking the time to say hello :)

  • Basejumpers

    Check out http://breadmakers.highwire.com/

    Most of their stuff is like new and the prices are really cheap.

    Wish I had enough skill to get my hair in a bun like that!
