CREATURE OF COMFORT

Zara jeans, American Apparel backpack

Margaret over at Shine by Three mentioned the other day that boyfriend jeans are the best for the plane, and I could not agree more. They are my go-to plane pants - suffice to say, these too-big denim pants are the equivalent of my day sweatpants. Once you start wearing them, you'll never go back. I'm 100% serious. And contrary to what you think, I promise that you'll look great in them, no matter what height you are! You can always slip on some heels or platforms if you're worried about the lack of structure above the feet.

I will be lounging in these in four days to catch a flight back to Shanghai! I am finally free of finals, and am so excited to catch up with friends, family, and sleep. This past week has been somewhat brutal, and in the midst of packing and storing my stuff for the summer (it took about 20 hours), I felt this tremendous frustration with the massive monstrosity that is my possessions - honestly, who needs that much stuff, Stephanie?

On another note, I'm delighted to share with you all a screenshot from the Zara website - I've been featured in their Zara People! section. It's such an honor, especially because I'm a huge fan.

OVERALLS / ALL OVER?

Hannah's vintage overalls, She Likes sandals*, Bella Vi necklace*, Forever 21 cropped turtleneck

If I were to quiz you on my essentials, here's your one-stop study guide:

A) minimalist sandals, like these from She Likes (heels optional): when there's just so much unnecessary fuss and your eyes just need a detox from the rest of the busy world, there is nothing more welcoming than a double-strapped slice of minimalist heaven. Case in point, also here and here. 

B) silver: I am not a gold person. While I do appreciate the occasional rose-gold, especially in watches, I just prefer the industrialist and more modern vibe that silver seems to exude. Again, it's just so much easier on the eyes. Plus, silver (here and here) just complements my tendency towards the monochrome.

Speaking of which, brings us to:

C) monochrome: I love white, black, and gray. I think I probably over-emphasized that fact a tad bit too much the last few months. 

What is even better is when this monochrome is in:

D) denim: um, I don't really think there's a need to clarify - but while some say that a prose poem must be "its own best excuse for being," I do think denim tends to do that by itself. 

E) snapbacks/obnoxious text: enough said.

I also think my love of overalls is self-explanatory, like the satisfying click that the straps make when hooking on to the buttons, overalls are just so effortless. As for the title, I am officially done with classes for my first year of college (hurrah!), but have a week left of finals, research papers, and presentations left *insert helpless puppy dog face here*. Hope you all are in a better boat xx!

DAISY DAZE

Lulu's carcass tank*, Brandy Melville skirt and jacket, vintage belt

Among my favorite things in the world (which is definitely hard to define, as the world is such a lovely place filled with lovely things), flowers would probably be pretty high up on that list, along with tea, books, and frozen yogurt...

Of all flowers, my favorite would have to be daisies. Be it printed on items of clothing or just the flower  itself, I'm just drawn to the simplicity of daisies and their simplicity. I love how unremarkably remarkable they are, if that makes sense. Understated and overlooked, I just can't get enough.
