A Shorts Story.

Part I.



Part II.


I - Sweater: Calvin Klein($20), Shorts: Rachel Roy($89.99), Flats: Target($20), Clutch: H&M($12.50), Necklace: Burlington($8), Ring: Forever 21($4.50)
II. Top: India($20), Lace-Tank: H&M($14), Shorts: Rachel Roy($89.99), Belt: Banana Republic($25), Shoes: Michael Kors(Thrifted - $36), Cuff: Asos($8), Purple&Orange Ring: H&M(Set - $4.50), Turquoise Ring: Forever 21($4.80?)

Aren't these shorts just amazing? We had to do two different outfits just to show you how awesome they are! Also, they have pockets - which makes them even more awesome and that makes Rachel Roy the 'awesomest!' Yeah...she's so awesome, I had to enhance a real word into a fake word.

You know what else is awesome, nostalgia. For example, today...when  taking these pictures we were reminiscing about our old days when my models - that's what I'm calling them now - were camera shy. So, here is a picture for the old days...it's a little blurry because I was laughing so hard that the camera moved, which means you can't tell that the models are also laughing, a lot...we attracted so much attention - don't know if it was the laughing or the awesome shorts - a bunch of guys in a car pulled over right next to us and started asking us if we needed any help - apparently one of them was a photographer (yeah and I'm the queen of England) - even if he really was, we didn't believe him at all..we said our thank-yous and byes and walked away. So random.

Burnt-Umber by the Vines.

All of us have been meaning to check out the thrift/vintage stores in this area for a while now. There are so many nice ones in San Francisco, but we wanted to find one or two places that were closer to home. We kept talking about it, but it kept getting postponed. A and I were near downtown and decided that instead of going back home, why not visit at least one store. J had an unexpected guest show up at her house, so she couldn't make it...so it was just the two of us. 

A's phone wasn't very helpful in finding directions, so we chose to drive and figure it out ourselves...and guess what? We found a store, not the one we were originally looking for, but hey! It's called Black and Brown and it was spectacular. The place looks amazing, it's quite big and in the first minute A found those sequin platforms, Michael Kors, for only $36! Aren't they just gorgeous?! The skirt is also from there...we'll be going to another one soon and we'll be sure to take pictures. We're definitely going back to this place again, all three of us, and going to act like deranged crazy people who can't speak but only scream incoherently...because seriously it was like crack to a drug addict, we liked so many things - too bad we don't have an unlimited supply of money.

Top: H&M($12), Skirt: Thrifted($24), Shoes: Micheal Kors(Thrifted-$36), Bag: Asos($15), Turquoise Ring: Forever21($5), Pearl Bracelet: BR($9), Necklace: Macy's($18), Belt: Forever21($6), Animal Print Bangles: H&M($6.50 for a set of 4)
