SPORTY SPICE

Wearing: velvet Primark crop top, burgundy Forever 21 skirt, LA Hearts daisy sweater c/o Pacsun, thrifted leather flats, gifted leather bag

Crop tops are literally my favorite things at the moment. They're basically the only things I even pick up when I go shopping nowadays. In neutral colors, they're so easy to match and they're just inappropriate enough for my liking. Also, they're a great motivator for me to hit the gym and werk for those abs. If you want it, you gotta work, bitch. 

P.S. You know why I tied that sweater around my waist? Because panty lines. A clever way to shield your behind, no?

JUST LIKE CHUNG

Alexa Chung: I love her, I met her, I fawn overher all day, everyday. It's as if her coolness has the same posh accent that she does, oh how I love it so. One of my biggest style icons, I can't get over how awkwardly put together she is at all times; it's whimsical.

And like, she wears jeans, button ups and sweaters, and, like, I too wear jeans, button ups and sweaters. We're basically sisters from another mister...and mother.

Thus, here's a little tribute to my favorite Chung.

SUNDAZED

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you know how sun-obsessed I am as of late. I know I should be used to this since I grew up in California, but after spending a few weeks in the snow, I feel blessed to live somewhere where the sun shines almost 365 days a year. So naturally, sunglasses are a big part of my daily life, I never leave home without a pair. I just never know when the sun will shine too bright or when I need to discreetly check out the butt on that cutie getting a mint mojito at Philz.


I've been a huge fan of Warby Parker and they're launching their new Spectrum Sun collection. I already have my eye on a few pairs, to spice up my eye game. I'm kind of a basic bitch, I always resort to black because it matches everything. But everyone needs a little color in their life, right? I'm really into the various tortoise shades since they're fun, yet classic and still matches everything in my closet!


Priced around $95 a pair, you can look stylish without breaking the bank. And, as if Warby Parker isn't amazing enough, every pair you buy, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need.

Check out the collection here and let me know which pairs you're digging!

HIKING IN $400 BOOTS

wearing: American Apparel shawl & crop button up, F21 black skirt, Jeffrey Campbell for Free People boots via Poshmark

Dating is hard. You never really know what you're getting yourself into. And that's how I ended up climbing up Bernal Heights in the world's most inappropriate hiking outfit. Everyone was decked out in workout attire, and there I was, in my miniskirt and $400 boots (that I only paid 1/4 of retail for! Thanks Poshmark!). Classic Anisa moment.

First dates are funny like that. You make some loose plans, like grabbing coffee or drinks, and see where it goes from there. And sometimes you end up catching the most beautiful sunset overlooking the city you've grown to love so much. And sometimes that date ends up taking your outfit photos for your blog. You never know what will come from a date, you just never know.

TURN UP, TURNIP

There are few things better than bottomless mimosas and a sunny San Francisco. I was blessed with both this Saturday, making it one of the best weekends I've had in a while! Catching up with the baddest bish I know, Janne, on everything from post-grad struggles to our shared wanderlust to the usual topics of boys, tattoos and piercings.

We took these AFTER 4 or 5 mimosas...how we were able to keep a straight face and a stable hand baffles me. Afterwards, we thrifted me a pirate costume and then walked 6 blocks to get some crazy good cookies. Crazy laughter and hilarity ensued, like always. There is never a dull moment with this girl. Never. And thank god for that!
