I shop online nearly everyday and dream of neoprene and leather. My budget, however, can in no way match my desire, and I am left with wishlist upon wishlist stored on my hardrive. I am the type one might call an "anti-hoarder". The second I no longer wear something, even in an impulsive attempt to ignore my period bloat, that baby is in a bag and on its way to the nearest Buffalo Exchange. Granted, my closet is the size of that of a dollhouse, so this purging is more of a neccesity than a hobby, I still consider it a good habit. A good habit, however, that is too easily sabotaged. What, inevitably comes after purging? Exactly. I have found, though, that lately my impulivity is best tamed by web browsing. I have now memorized which stores will delete items from your shopping basket within 24 hours (I'm looking at you shopbop) and which stores provide free shipping with a $50 purchase. Somehow, knowing that Nastygal will save my beloved finds until next month's rent check is paid makes me rest a little easier. top - topshop, pants - topshop, shoes - choies I have an insatiable apetite for new clothing.

I own a car, yet could not, for the life of me, work the air pressure thingamabob at the gas station today. (Thank god for boyfriends, am I right?) I went to college, yet work a minimum-wage job with high schoolers and armenians with a shopping habit. I go to fashion shows yet shop at thrift stores, and find my self control is wearing thin. And please tell me why my fashion magazines cost more than my dinner. With a college degree and three internships under my belt, I thought that this was the year I could finally deem myself employable. I have experience, I have an education, I have bills. But alas, the only thing I've gotten this year is a title. I can now call myself, editorial assistant at a magazine that still doesn't pay me (hence the minimum wager). So far, my 20s have not been kind to me. I have seen too many hangovers, too few showers, and an embarrassing amount of "I can't make rent can you help me out just this one last time" phone calls home. One thing I can thank my 20s for - they have truly taught me the meaning of want. The day my budget catches up with my taste will be the day I'll know I've truly made it. Until then, some eye candy. <img src="http://payload123.cargocollective.com/1/7/225423/4760094/carven-pre-fall-2013-3_o.jpg"height="750"width="540" /><img src="http://payload123.cargocollective.com/1/7/225423/4760094/carven-pre-fall-2013-5_o.jpg"height="750"width="540" /> <img src="http://payload123.cargocollective.com/1/7/225423/4760094/carven-pre-fall-2013-8_o.jpg"height="750"width="540" /> <img src="http://payload123.cargocollective.com/1/7/225423/4760094/carven-pre-fall-2013-11_o.jpg"height="750"width="540" /> <img src="http://payload123.cargocollective.com/1/7/225423/4760094/carven-pre-fall-2013-12_o.jpg"height="750"width="540" /> Carven Pre-fall 2013 Ah, the endless contradictions and confusions of a 20-something.

Fall in SoCal has an approximate temperature range between 60 and 80, so I'm ecstatic to be nestled right there in the middle. I can officially take my massive sweater collection out of hiding. With this welcomed temperature drop comes a few necessities - space heater (for those cool 50 degree nights ;), closed-toe shoes, and the ubiquitous return of layering. This season I am loving overalls and all of the layering prospects that exist therein. Button-ups and blouses can all be grunged up and aged down with the simple click of two suspender straps. I want a black, denim pair, but right now I'm really gunning for this little leather number: <img src="http://www.pixiemarket.com/store/images/_MG_1671.jpg"height="650"width="525" /> stockholm streetstyle, pixie market It is only seventy degrees today and I am thanking God for that.

No matter how many heels I buy, I just can't justify that kind of punishment to my feet - the poor soles who carry me throughout my 8-hour work day. Though most bloggers would scoff at the thought, heels are saved for special occasions and the days in which one of my two pairs of black flats have disappeared into the depths of my dirty clothes. No, for me, sunglasses are my drug of choice. After a year of a complete lack of self control (and by lack of self control I mean spending my meager paycheck each month on clothes instead of hot water), i've accumulated a pile of glasses on my dresser that will soon need to find a new home. And just as one might match shoes to her mood, sunglasses are my form of expression. Am I feeling minimal, fancy, elegant, or thrifty? Well today, I'm feeling incognito. I need to get myself a pair of these mirrored lenses quick. I love the playful nature they exude. The only question is, to sparkle or not to sparkle?

Gone are the ditzy florals and creepers, as I move towards a romantic modernism. Right now I am loving prints, costume jewelry, short hair, and matching tops and bottoms. For me, though, at the essence of chic, lies an inherent contrast. A vintage sweatshirt with a pencil skirt, a tattered shirt adorned with jewels and lipstick, or an oversized jacket with sleek hair and stripes. But despite all the amazing prints and colors, I'll always be a sucker for minimalism. streetfsn, jak & jil, hel-looks Although remnants of the 90s remain (overalls anyone?), this season I have fully embraced a new kind of cool.
