It's a Cruel Summer

I haven't had much of a summer lately here in San Francisco. The days are splattered with fog, gusts of wind, and cool 60 degree temperature. I got my awesome Gerard Yosca bangle (courtesy of Ideeli) in the mail a couple days back, and had to wear it to work the next day. I usually dress according to mood, and since yesterday was cold, I donned all black. I didn't want to appear too depressing, so I mixed it up with a pearl and chain necklace and of course, my new piece of jewelry!

Recent Purchases: Cuff Bracelet, Fashion Inspirations

My secret dream is to be photographed for my favorite blog, The Sartorialist. Scott Schuman takes pictures of street fashion in places such as New York and Milan. What I like about The Sartorialist is that Schuman pushes the envelope by taking some pictures that aren't always neccesarily fashionable. He really questions what personal style really means and challenges you to do the same. This book showcases his favorite images, and very limited text. The pictures speak for itself, and to me, it's very inspiring. It has over 500 pages, and I bought it off Amazon for only $16.

When I saw this movie in theaters back in April, I knew I had to own the DVD. I'm waiting for this to be shipped to me from Amazon, since it won't be released until September. I know that this will be something I can watch over and over again without ever getting sick of it. I highly recommend you get this film if you are a true fashion lover! Buy this from Amazon for only $19.99!

I love browsing through online sample sales. I bought this Pearl Cuff by Gerard Yosca from Ideeli.com at their RED HOT sale event. I can't wait to receive this in the mail! I bought it for only $25, originally $230. Like I posted before, Ideeli is only invite only, so use this link to sign up and get great deals!
