A Little Sketch of...Song of Style

Song of Style is an amazing blogger from my home city of San Francisco. She was one of the first bloggers I ever found and followed (ie I found her blog in November). Her outfits are always unbelievably cute and she's never scared of adding those short skirts and high heels that we all wish we could pull off. Check out her blog here.

A sketch I did of Aimee from Song of Style

Why did you start blogging?

I just wanted to start something where I could document my daily outfits

What are some of the perks of blogging?

Meeting great people and just the whole experience.

What do you think is the importance of bloggers today?
We're just like any other consumers but we have a blog that people read so our voices are more likely to be heard.

What is your greatest style inspiration?
Everything around me.

Is there a current line that you just wish you could make your wardrobe? A celebrity’s closet you wish you could make your own?
I actually have a lot. I love the Chloe Spring/Summer 2010 collection, Ellery, and I would like to steal Chloe Sevingny's closet.

As a selfish question (being a San Franciscan), do you have any favorite spots you want to share with us?
My favorite place to go is the La Fayette Park with my boyfriend and dog. There is this one spot where u can see the bay and it's gorgeous and very relaxing.
Favorite restaurant has to be this little Mexican restaurant on Geary St.

Besides fashion, what are you interested in?
Interior Architecture and Architecture. Those are my main passion. I go to school to study Interior Architecture and work at an Architecture firm as an intern.

What are your future goals? Do they involve fashion?
I just want to be a great Interior Architect that designs wonderful and inspiring spaces for people.

Side note: Favorite band?

Tupac.

Any advice for bloggers just getting started?
Just be yourself, be honest and have fun!

And to finish it off… If your shadow had a color, what color would it be?
Neon Pink? Just to be fun?

I Learned A New Word Today: PRAMA

So apparently I HAD to have a prom post. So here it is my dearies. The whole process to prom was far far far more stressful than I would have like. The whole date thing, the whole finding a dress thing, the whole prom group, prom dinner, after prom party ALL OF IT was stressful and expensive. I didn't know how to deal with any of it. Honestly, the night before I was chilling with my friend at her house and she told me she had to pick up her boutonniere in the morning. I was like what the hell is that. Apparently, it's the flower you buy for the guy! I had no idea, I didn't buy it clearly. So I had to wake up the morning of prom and call a bunch of flower stores to see if any of them could make me one! It was pretty funny. I was really worried that I wouldn't have fun at prom, but in the end. I had a lot of fun. So YEY! Now, there's really just a countdown until graduation. Holy Crap! I'm excited and terrified and numb and everything you could possibly imagine.

I had this whole image to wear a light dress with a loose form, but of course I couldn't find it. Instead, I wore this black dress I bought in France last year at my favorite store named Sandro. Dressing it up was a whole other adventure. I was thinking about buying these Louboutin's but instead decided to get these Steve Maddens that were very similar in style but far more reasonable in price. My necklace was from JCrew and my clutch was from Banana Republic. I got my hair done at Edo, this awesome salon in the Lower Haight that gave me the perfect prom do that wasn't too prom-y. I got my make-up done at Bobbi Brown (they were just so nice) and my nails done at Lavande in Cole Valley--that was an experience because I NEVER do my nails. AH!

Chloe and I and very different dresses. Me with my classic bitch face and chloe ready to appear in her romantic comedy.

DJ Havoc and the Pack performed

then we chilled a little bit with them after

At one point we all shoved up and were like right by the pack. I looked down and waved at someone. I was like HEY MY NAMES RACHEL! Then I looked at him. Hmmm a black guy with grillz and a microphone....YOU'RE IN THE PACK! I tried to ask him where he got his backpack, but the music was too loud to hear what he said

First and last prom done and over.

A Cowgirl in Lace

Second semester after/during APs is turning out to be a pretty chill time. Basically, I've been hanging out after school a lot and coming home around 8 or 9 to watch TV or talk to friends. YEY not having/not willing to do homework! So last thursday, I had a very big adventure that involved going to Hayes Valley to get a sandwich and chocolate ganache, Castro for a toffee and chocolate chip cookie and milk boba, and DP to chill and talk with my friends Catherine and Mattie (pictured beautifully below).

See the cool fringe stuff?

My Mom Talks to Flowers

Damn, I'm a horrible blogger. I've been BEYOND MIA. I don't know what happened. I just lost all my cameras (haha sounds familiar) and was feeling quite uninspired. I didn't even really read any blogs for the past couple of weeks. Perhaps its because I haven't had any homework to procrastinate from doing... But no fear, my dears. I have an AP exam tomorrow, so of course, I decided to break my blogging dry spell. The photos aren't wonderful (because my mom couldn't figure out how to zoom in and out..wtf?) and I look kind of like hell because, well, I'm studying for exams and such...
OH! More importantly, see the lace thing i'm wearing under my shirt? THATS MY NEW FAVORITE THING EVER! I've wanted one for forever, but I never figured out if it would be a good decision. I mean, how often could i really wear a see through lace leotard? ummmm well PRACTICALLY EVERYDAY. i love it SOO much. When wearing it as the normal shirt, I of course, wear a nude leotard underneath. But good lord its soo comfy and I'm absolutely in love with it. Be prepared to see it in a lot more blog posts. So many in fact, you're going to have to tell me to take it off!

if you were wondering about my title, my mom talks to our flowers in our front yard. We come home and instead of opening the door, she asks the flowers how they're doing. UGHH.

Wtf is up with your cropping rachel? Well, I was using my brothers old iphoto and couldn't figure out how to crop normally...don't judge.

Also, what's a post from Rachel without a picture of me bitch facin' it?
