Denim Jacket

So I guess I'm kind of late with the whole denim jacket thing, but last weekend I went shopping with my friend, and I picked this up at Urban Outfitters. It was $69.50 which was quite a lot for me to spend on one thing but it was really cute in person (honestly the way this model wears it just doesn't do it justice haha - I promise it looks better in real life). But it's kinda annoying, because I checked UO's website again today and it was on sale.


Levi's Chambray Trucker Jacket






I'm really not a denim jacket type of person...I usually find them really stiff and awkward and old fashioned looking. But this one was a really light wash, and really casual looking, and I thought it'd be great now that warmer weather's here. There are vertical white stripes going down, and the inside of the jacket is a darker blue, so when you roll up the sleeves it has a really cool effect - almost looks like it's tie-dye.

Here are some pics I've taken off of Lookbook to get inspiration on how to wear the jacket in the spring summer.

Why I'm Here

(taken from tumblr)
I guess I've wanted to start a blog for a while. I really enjoy reading them and getting a little glimpse into other people's lives. The only reason I've hesitated in making one myself is because I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the commitment of starting a blog and sticking with it. Who knows if when I'll just get bored of it and give up? That seems to happen a lot with me.

I try to live for the moment and not be tied down by anything, but at the same time it's comforting to record little moments of my life so that I can come back and look at them later. I'm very much a visual person, and I like having neat little pictures of my adventures recorded somewhere for me to see.

Oh and the other thing is that I'm not sure what I would write about. I read a few fashion blogs, a few travel ones, and one or two that are just photography or general musings on life. So I guess mine will be a mixture of all of those. There will be a good amount of fashion posts, because I am interested in that, but it won't be the entirety of this blog. So if you're interested in what some girl from New York has to say, stay. If not, feel free to move on.
