Weekend…

May 19, 2013

saturday-2-600

Just a quick snap before heading out to dinner with some of my favorite people. Most of my family and friends are in Los Angeles, so every time I’m back in town my weekend fills with brunches and dinners catching up with my LA peeps. This particular evening was spent with two of the most brilliant ladies I’ve met through blogging. Dinners spent with these girls are filled with laughs, good food, and amazing conversation. I hope you all had a great weekend!

In-Vest-Ment

May 15, 2013

koral-destroyed-denim-6-600

This vest is one of the first clothing items I felt a strong need to posses. At the time, I didn’t have a very focused idea of what my style was, but as soon as I saw it (on the cover of Lucky Magazine), I had to have it. Fast forward to today, and I find it interesting that before I lasered in on a menswear-inspired wardrobe, I had already started collecting items that would fit right into the personal style that would take me years to figure out.

May Merlot

May 7, 2013

may-merlot-1-600

A drizzly day is a perfect excuse to bust out the trench coat. Ever since discovering that I could fold over and then button each side of the trench to itself, it’s my favorite way to wear it open on a day where the full protection or warmth of a buttoned up trench coat isn’t necessary. And tightening the wrist straps help keep the sleeves where I like them…scrunched up to the elbow.

Have you ever looked at something and couldn’t quite tell if it was very dark brown or black? If so, then you know why the old fashion rule exists that “you should never wear black with brown”. When trying to match black with black, a very dark shade of brown could trick you into thinking it’s black, and then you’d look like you “got dressed in the dark”. The same can be said of very dark navy.

Seersucker Season

April 30, 2013

lavender-seersucker-4-600

Few things feel as spring-like to me as busting out the seersucker blazer for the first time. It only seems appropriate then that just as I pull the pastels and seersucker out of my closet, the dreary weather known as “June Gloom” seems to have set in (which is a terrible fog that hangs out near the coast of California, making the months of May and June miserably cold, cloudy, and just overall bumming everyone out).
