What I'm Wearing ...a simple outfit for a simple afternoon
* J Brand "Houlihan" skinny cargo pants ...same basic outfit here but styled differently today.
* Liz Claiborne vintage top . . . little story behind this; Masumi my pseudo-grandmother gave this top to my mom in the 70's because it was a bit too big on her . . . and I stole it from my mom last year . . . and didn't really realize til after getting dressed how appropriately funny it was that I was wearing it to this event and thought it was funny when my mom told her the story. She kind of couldn't believe it, lol ...we have a tendency to hold onto certain things in our family. Also a funny note, Masumi was wearing a very similar color scheme as I was . . .she's always had amazing style.
* My armful of the same vintage bangles and my leather lanyard bracelet . . .which I seem to wear daily now. {buy my exact bracelet here}
* Cynthia Vincent olive zip "Murray" sandals
* Cynthia Rowley tassel bag . . . even though the clasp refuses to stay shut, this is my bag of the moment. It has the perfect modern 70's vibe that I'm loving right now.
* Title: lyrics from 50 cent "In Da Club" ...because
It was my Grandpa's 90th Birthday and we all got together on Saturday at my Uncle's place to celebrate and had such a lovely time. Ninety is old, yo! ...but my grandpa sure doesn't act like a 90 year old man. I hear 90 is the new 70 anyway ;) I absolutely adore the photos of he and Masumi sitting on the bench and kissing, they're just too sweet. They met in Japan in the 70's when my grandpa was gigging there . . . he's a drummer :) and they've been in love ever since!
I forgot my Nikon so I used my iPhone for photo-taking ... and apologies if you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and have already seen these.
For a little more family history on my Dad's side, read/watch My Grandma on YouTube.
* Hope all you moms had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday!

lil tip for your bag clasp... I had a couple really nice leather bags which did the same thing so I took them to my shoe repair guy and he undid the leather stitch on the flap and sewed (is that a word? lol) in little magnets. And problemo fixed! Cost about $50 and totally worth it!!
ps - love love your blog :)
how come you look like a HOT BABE in gladiator sandals and i just look like a chicken ankled gladiator? no fair! i think i am going to try mine with pants instead of shorts/skirts! =) your grandparents are adorable!

Hi Maegan-I recently stumbled across your blog and I just wanted to comment about how adorable you are! I love your style, refreshing attitude, and silliness! I am now addicted! I LOVE your Cynthia Rowley bag so much and talked about it so much that my friend (my birdie) told my husband and as of yesterday...it is mine! Happy Mother's Day to me from my husband and girls :) I keep staring at it in the box, but haven't taken it out yet!
Have a great week!
obsessed with the nail color! was considering yellow for a while and you just convinced me
he looks so good!! 90! shocking!
