Mermaids & Metallics

I was so excited that my twin sister came to visit this weekend! And the best part was being able to wear some of the cute clothes she brought! I was dying to wear this aqua metallic top that she brought. I heart the texture of the top because it reminds me of a mermaid :)

UC Santa Cruz & UC Berkeley Trip

I was fortunate enough to have been chosen to attend a 2-day school trip to visit UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley. The weather was overcast and rainy, but it was still so much fun!

UC Santa Cruz was a beautiful campus! Full of trees and miles of greenery I felt like I was at summer camp. Pictures: Forest of Redwood trees & View of campus recreation field

UC Berkeley was a unique mix of old and modern. I loved the campus because each and every building had a vast amount of history behind them. A great plus are the many shops and food places surrounding the     campus! Pictures: The University Library & Sather Tower aka The Campanile

      

It was such a looong drive so I aimed my outfit mainly for comfort. Some advice, when going on any kind of bus trip bring a blanket! It gets freezing cold on the bus!

My Lookbook Gems

For the past 5 years , I have obsessed with the website http://lookbook.nu/ . Lookbook is a cool website that people from around the world can post pictures of outfits they are wearing. I love mainly looking at people from other countries outfits because they are so inspirational!

Here are some of my favorite Lookbook Looks that I've collected over the years:

I am in love with her purple thigh high tights and big bow! 

Her effortless hair and graphic tee scream urban edge 

I love her layered chain necklaces against her crisp white tee, which make them standout nicely against her patterned skirt

Any dress that I come across with shoulder detailing is a plus for me. Paired with polka dot tights is perfection! 

Ahhhh!!! okay... this has to be one of my favorite looks everrr! Her top, burnt orange pants, baby blue bag and bun are amazing all together is this look! 

Which look did you like the best?? Comment below : )
