One of my professors had extra tickets to a golf tournament so yesterday my friend and I experienced it for the first time. I wasn’t really sure what to wear but my friend’s “fancy picnic” advice kind of helped. Don’t you love getting fashion advice from straight guys – it’s usually very sophisticated. Anyway, what I decided to do was wear the blouse from the last Thailand post in order to show you what I meant by “out of context.” Wearing it to the beach over a bikini is a more untraditional approach and today’s post exemplifies an “in context” version. Hope you all had an amazing weekend.

a dose of greens and oranges
In this look I took the eccentricity of Marni and mixed it with a simple linen top, and chiffon petals. This look is all about texture, colour, and playfulness. I just kind of let Consuelo Castiglioni’s couture sensibility inspire me.
summer tones
These pictures were taken in Toronto on a hot, humid day. But in the last seven days in Tokyo I have become acquainted with humidity on an entirely different level. Natural fabrics that breath are essential in this climate because everything is sticky as it is. I also never leave the hotel without a pair of flats in my bag because no matter how comfortable you might be with walking in heels, exploring a new city is sweeter when the feet are happy. Ps. I handed in my essay to Prof. Taniguchi and heard a cute quote from my friend Jessica that I wanted to share with you – “An essay should be like a woman’s skirt, long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to make it interesting.” Lol, love it!
fringe play
My Toronto trip is coming to an end so I’m running around all day in preparation for my next destination. For this errand-running-mission, I paired comfortable Lida Baday pants with a loose Brunello Cucinelli top that mom bought me while I was in Cali. The boho-chic fringe bag is so over the top that it takes center stage, as I imagine will often be the case in upcoming looks. That’s a lot of fringe for a little bag, which should look interesting with a maxi.
stepping out
The weekend was so action filled that I couldn’t fit it in one post. I needed a break from the books so I rode my bike to the train, train to Berkeley, and then the bike to the sail boat. The weekend involved lots of pedaling…in my tiny shorts and on my gigantic bike.
