Girl Crush: Soo Joo

Long hair, blunt ends, a raw-edged style.

Sweat, Sunscreen, Silky Hair and Diamonds

These are the ingredients to a perfect summer. Here's a moodboard for ya.

A Wang

I'm in love with the man behind the brand I'm in love with.















I read an interview once with Wang where he says, sleep in your shirts and wear them the next day.  I love this man.

Like in a romantic, I-want-to-bang-him kind of way.

ATX 2.0

More photos from the Texas paradise that is Austin.































That's my sister, our stepbrother and myself.  That's their little dog, Ernie.  That's lemon sorbet and crushed up gingersnaps.  That's me wearing a DIY-ed-to-death American Apparel dress. Those are my Celine wedges.  That's Spindrift blowing our minds on stage.  That's me wearing a scarf for a shirt.  That's a lot of iced green tea with lemon. That's me having a good time.

Hot Austin

Austin, Texas, was hot. I miss warm summer nights more than anything. Whatcha know about that, SoCal?

Me and my sister are similar but different. Light and dark. But we share a love of summer, champagne in cans, burgers, bikinis and ink.

Treasures

Remember how I'm exchanging quantity for quality? Well it started with a few investment accessories.



Let me introduce you to my feather ring by Kate Szabone.  I got this ring custom made in rose gold with pink-lavender sapphires. Girl has gotta have her bling.



Speaking of bling-- that tiny yin yang charm is black and white diamonds set in 10K gold.  It was actually an earring I found on eBay but had a jeweler turn one into a charm and I strung it on a piece of thread. I'm pretty obsessed and it reminds me of how I feel about life, all of the zen and balance and preciousness.



And these are the Celine wedges I picked up at Barneys while in Seattle. They're olive green suede with a velcro latch on a chunky espadrille wedge heel. They're absolutely perfect and so comfortable.



I've already sold more than my wardrobe and I'm still not done.  And let these treasures begin a minute collection of quality items so that I may live out of a single suitcase and remember that none of these things will go past the grave.  I will focus on an ascetic approach to aesthetics and materialism and let travel be my gluttony.
