"I'm glad you came."

I'm getting to makeover my blog so sorry for being MIA lately! But if there's anything you can count on not changing, it's my love for Marc Jacobs and sparkly things :o)

"Me not working hard? Yeah right."

I know I fell off the face of the earth again...sorry! Life has been keeping me busy!

People's Liberation top. BCBG tank top. Heartloom skirt. House of Harlow ring. Calvin Klein heels.

I love this People's Liberation top, it is fun, versatile, and really comfortable--yay for easy cute things to throw on! I specifically chose it to go with the Heartloom skirt because balance is usually key. If my skirt is fitted, I try to make my top a little looser and vice versa; it helps make the outfit not be too much (when really fitted top to bottom) or not so flattering (with everything loose fitting).

The next episode of Pretty Little Liars is supposed to be fashion focused and I am so so excited! In general, I can't get enough of that show, it's really gripping--I mean, how psycho does "A" keep getting??

Most stylish funeral attendees I've ever seen (from the last episode)!

From the next episode's fashion show, they look amazing! Hanna's dress is super cute, Spencer's dress is super plunging, Emily's dress is a great color, and maybe if the nude part of Aria's dress was a different color, I'd like it.

Love these outfits, so summer glam!

Can't wait for the next Pretty Little Liars episode, I know I'll be fashionably inspired!

What has been inspiring your outfits lately?

I've also been adding new items to my shop so be sure to check them out! :o)

"She ain't got riches, but she's got fashion."

There are numerous fashion bloggers participating in the 30 for 30, and I opted to not participate from the beginning.  In reality, I would likely inadvertently end up participating because when I like certain items, I wear them over and over again (like these Zigi boots actually, as also seen here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and just a few days ago here...).  I'm not even going to bother listing all the posts where I've worn my black People's Liberation jacket because the number of links I provide would probably be double digits; my friend even told me that I needed to retire the jacket from wearing it so often (of course, that won't happen because I absolutely love it). 

However, I'm well aware of my habitual wearing habit and that's why one of my goals this year is to wear everything in my closet at least once.  Thus, this blazer is making its appearance for the first time in nearly a year!  Last time I wore it was March of last year (see here)!  Some items in my closet don't normally even get lucky enough to be worn annually, but hopefully, I can accomplish my goal and change that!

C  & C California top. William Rast blazer. Heartloom skirt. Zigi Soho boots. Moschino earrings.

I'm in love with this mural downtown and finally got around to taking pictures with it.  If my shirt wasn't in color, I could fully blend into the black and white!

7 Things About Me:

1. The first thing I would do if I won the lottery would be to go out and buy a classic medium Chanel "shopping bag" or a Louis Vuitton monogram Speedy 30 bag.
2. Writing is one of my biggest passions.  I published 2 books of poetry by the time I was 17 (see here and here).  I'm currently working on a children's book.
3. I have loved arts and crafts since I was a kid (see my recent painting and headbands).
4. I'm not good at any sports, I just run; I do the Susan B. Komen 5K annually.
5. I am a complete night owl; I am lucky if I can get to bed by 3am.  I just feel most motivated to get things done late at night.
6. When I was little, I used to change my favorite color every birthday until I ran out of the "good" colors and was left with having either orange, yellow, or brown as my favorite color; so I just gave up.
7. I'm a bit old fashioned and love reading and writing emails. (Email me at samanthavlee@gmail.com!)

"Hush, hush, the world is quiet."

Heartloom dress. Kirra scarf. People's Liberation jacket. Da-Nang boots. CC Skye ring.

I'm working really hard to keep doing my outfit pictures, but I need to come up with indoor places to avoid the rain.  Indoor places are also much warmer; I'm trying to not become too attached to my sheepskin boots. 

But do let me introduce you to these Dâ-Nang boots!  I absolutely love them.  I bought them at a great price during a Hautelook sample sale (they have amazing sales, if you're not a member yet, join!!).  They are super warm and comfortable, and I love the dragon embroidered detailing to them.  The boots are definitely one of a kind, and I have yet to see these boots anywhere. I don't have a close-up shot in this post, but see this post.

I also love my leopard print scarf.  I bought it at Pacsun last year during an after-the-winter sale for probably $5 and is well worth the money! Not only is it super warm, I get tons of compliments every time I wear the scarf. 

I've been doing a better job updating my Chictopia, please visit!  :o)

"I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock."

Just kidding!  I don't really want to be like Paris Hilton when I grow up (well, to be as rich as her would be quite nice...), but I don't object to owning cute dresses and designer shoes like her!  :o)

Heartloom dress. Cara Couture earrings. Hollister bralette. Guess watch.
House of Harlow ring. Linea Pelle bracelet. Stuart Weitzman heels.

Dear Pacific Northwest weather,
 
Please don't start.  I like the sun and hate the rain.  

Sincerely,
Me.
