Dress: Forever 21 <-- bought last year. Shoes: Chuck Taylors (DIY studded). Shades: Ray Ban. White leather bag: Buffalo Exchange. Silver nail pendant: Courtesy of Fashionology. Large hammer ring: Fashionology. Turquoise bracelet: Gift. African bracelet: African shop in Union Square
On Monday, Michael and I ended up getting our feet wet in the sea at Long Beach. First time for me this summer (sad – I know). The original plan was to just eat lobster and go home!
The dress got soaked from the waist down but dried in seconds from the heat (I swear it seemed like it was).
Summer is here.
How’s everyone’s summer so far? I need to find a concert to go to before everything’s sold out. I’m so late and have a stack of Time Out’s to highlight for stuff to try. I’m starting to panic.
ps. Did you see the size of that lobster I posted on my twitter from Monday? Still can’t get over the size.

Hi karen u look amazing, i love how everything compliments each other. By the way i see alot of people love when you wear your hair curly asking how to achieve it,Why dont u make a youtube video on it (like ur smokey eye makeup/belts/bag ones) that way when they ask u, u can direct them straight to your you tube video, instead of having to keep repeating your self.(just a suggestion hun!!)
