Salty Air, Sun-Kissed Hair

American Rag shorts, Abercrombie bikini top, Urban Outfitters hat.

My memorial weekend was nicely spent at the beach with my family. I napped the whole way there and once I could feel and smell the salty air, I knew we were there. It's kind of my favorite feeling. Now that I'm home, I'm really missing it. But I must admit, I surely do not miss my terrible sun burn. My shoulders are killing me! I don't recall ever getting burnt before. I would always get super tan.....till now. Hope you all had a memorable Memorial weekend as well!

Sun Shining, Breeze Blowing

Sun shining, breeze blowing...this is all the right reasons to welcome in Summer! I am enjoying the weather before it gets humidly hot. That's the icky feeling that I do not wish to endure.

What are other reasons why I'm welcoming this season? I am thankful to the bright & beautiful colors blooming and bursting everywhere! With this beautiful weather, you can't help but to pull out all of your fun summer skirts and dresses. Sometime, a girl can't help but to be girly once in a while! There's nothing wrong with that. Embrace the beauty that surrounds you!

What about you? Are you ready for this Summer?!

Sheer Joy

This blouse is so great for the summer! I am in love with the military vibe but because the nature of the fabric is drape-y, it balances that edgy, military look. Also, a super plus to sheer fabrics for the summer. It really does its magic in cooling you down! Sky blue is so in for me this summer! Thanks Jessica Fritz for the hand-me-down shorts!

Also, check out the student organization, THREAD's new tumblr. All of the officers were introduced on there so I had a little section on there as well. You can read more about me through the Q&A's.

Featuring: JESSICA FRITZ

Jessica Fritz's relaxed and earthy style intrigued me and gave me the itch to explore her home! Luckily, she was very welcoming so I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with her and share some of the photos as well as short interview with you all. I met Jessica my freshman year taking a design class. I remember being so timid my first year and Jessica today, is still the same Jessica I met 3 years ago. She's calm, easy to get along, and is a very talented photographer. As you can see, she has an eye for beautiful things and it's not only relevant in her work, but in her home as well.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I'm a senior at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, majoring in studio art and minoring in religious studies.

What influences your style?

My style is probably mostly based around earth tones/dark colors. Comfort is a big deal, but I'll occasionally wear the painful pair of heels.

What are some of your favorite stores/brands?

I like vintage clothing, thrift stores, but also Anthropologie and Free People.

What do you enjoy doing on your spare time?

Photography, baking, and sewing are mostly what I'll do with any spare time.

Stop by Jessica Fritz's website to catch a glimpse of some of her phenomenal work.

Featuring: MIRI HAN

Miri Han's style is nothing short of brilliant. If you pass by this lady, I promise that you will find yourself catching a glimpse of her. From her edgy haircut done by the hairstylist, Kyle Britt, to her one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, Miri is on top of my list when it comes to great style. I met Miri Han through her roommate, Jessica Fritz, who will also be featured on my blog. I then found out that we are in the same major and next thing I know, we were taking classes together! Miri has graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and will be moving away to do her internship this summer. So I had to take advantage of this opportunity and snap some photos of her and do a quick interview while she was still in town.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

My name is Miri Han and I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a major in Consumer, Apparel, & Retail Studies. I'm from Charlotte, NC but born in Seoul, South Korea. I am currently employed with Anthropologie and have been for two year. I am about to start my internship program with the visual team at the Charlotte store and hoping to grow within the company!

What influences your style?

My style definitely changes frequently but currently, I am experimenting with minimalistic/deconstruction style that was heavily shown throughout the eighties in Japan. I am influenced by the nineties and grunge scene as well. I enjoy the asymmetrical shape, ripped up bottoms, drapery, chunky shoes, etc. Some of my favorite designers that I have been influenced by are Rick Owens, Alexander Wang, Yohji Yamamoto, and Comme De Garcons (Rei Kawakubo).

What are some of your favorite stores/brands?

I shop at MANY places but my top stores are Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. These stores are convenient since I get a great discount, but they also carry items that fit my look. I also shop at several fast fashion retailers such as Forever 21, H&M, and online retailer ASOS.com. I love that these stores are affordable with many styles to offer! All in all, you will most likely find me with items that are hand-me-downs or thrifted!

What do you enjoy doing on your spare time?

During my spare time, I like to explore the town! I take value of community events such as shows, festivals, art parties, etc. If I'm not out in town, I enjoy being surrounded by good company, listening to good music, eating good food and drinking good beer!

If you want to know more about Miri, visit her tumblr, Moon Child or view her e-portfolio.

Hats Off

Visited my good friend today. It's good to know that as we grow up and become busy adults, our good friends are always there and we can always pick back where we left off.

Ring My Bells

This DKNY shirt is absolutely my favorite. You know why? Because the back half is made of gray t-shirt knit material! Oh, and not to mention that the color was a definite "love at first sight" experience. I bought it in a large for the oversize/boyfriend look. These photos were taken from Sunday, right before the rain came pouring down on us.

It's been raining for several days now so I'm looking forward to some sunlight in the next couple of days!

Also, on Sunday, I stopped by Miri Han & Jessica Fritz's yard sale and gathered a bunch of goodies that I will be sure to share with you all! What's more exciting is the reason why I came there in the first place. I've been wanting to feature these two on my blog and this was just the perfect opportunity to catch Miri before she leaves for her summer internship with Anthropology. So yes, look out for their features in the next couple of days! You won't be disappointed! :)
