Before you stop following my blog because you realize my photos are taken in a cemetery...READ ON! Last Sunday, Andrew and I were fortunate enough to go to the Sigur Rós concert at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Sigur Rós is one of Andrew's all-time favorite bands, so I bought tickets for us to go for his birthday a few months back. The venue was really cool, and it was so weird to see the gravestones of so many classic Hollywood stars. Mr. Alfred Hitchcock is behind me in all my photos...

P.S. Other than the amazing music and the fun picnic we set up before the show, the highlight of my night was making eye contact with Joseph Gordon-Levitt on my way to the port-a-potties. He saw me staring at him and smiled back. It. Was. Awesome. 

The most important part of this photo is that it was taken by the actor who plays Kurt's dad on Glee.

And that is my claim to fame...The End!

To Downtown We Go

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Anthropologie "Becca Halter Dress" (shop)

Denim Jacket: Life in Progress via Forever 21

Straw Fedora: university student store (remixed)

Earrings: Anthropologie (shop)

Wedges: Cathy Jean Shoes

After we ate at The Pie Hole in Downtown, we came across this awesome street mural in the Arts District. Andrew's favorite animal is the wolf, so he was super excited when we saw it. It is definitely a one-of-a-kind find, and I'm happy we were able to snap some cool pictures of it before we left.

As for my outfit, I got the red dress I am wearing from work a few weeks ago, and figured I would save it for a special outing like this. It's the perfect LRD and I'm sure I will be pulling it out all summer long, especially for work. The only problem is, it's silk, which means plenty of wrinkles to go around. I really ought to invest in my own steamer, because I can't keep bringing my clothes into work to steam on my lunch breaks! Yes, I have done that before...

Happy Memorial Day!

Yet another weekend has come and gone, and I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left of summer! These pictures were taken on one of those perfect summer evenings that make you want summer to last forever (despite all the complaining I have done about it). Although, I must note that the gorgeous park that we took these photos at was ruined by a pageant mother taking head shots of her poor little girl who looked like she had stepped right out of Toddlers & Tiaras...

Anyways, I love this outfit because I got the chance to wear my favorite (and only) fedora, which I unconsciously built my entire outfit around. Believe it or not, I got this puppy on sale in the very small and usually tacky clothing section of my student store. Before that, I had been searching for months for the perfect straw fedora that would actually fit my abnormally wide head. Lucky for me, these hats went on sale at the end of the year and I decided to try one on for fun after wandering into the store to pick up some hi-chews and lemonade. To my surprise, it actually looked good...fit on my head...and fit my budget! 

I decided to pair my fedora with some feminine details to balance out its boyish style. This bow purse is one of my favorites and despite its bold print, tends to work with most outfits. I also love my delicate lace  skirt which, until now, I have always had trouble styling. However, this mustard-beige top seems to compliment it well and I definitely plan to pair these two pieces together again. All in all, this outfit was great for a warm summer evening of wandering, shopping, and seeing Our Idiot Brother (which is hilarious...especially if you already love Paul Rudd).

Another note:

I visited my best friend at her college this weekend and she introduced me to one of my new favorite Starbucks drinks. Maybe some of you have already tried it...but if you haven't, its a great alternative to a Vanilla/Hazelnut Latte if you are craving something lighter (and cheaper).
