70s FLAIR

Image
Funny, as much as I talk about how much I love wearing something new, if I had to be really honest, I'd say that in many ways, wearing my tried and true favorites is what I love the most. In fact, most of the prized pieces I have in my closet, the ones I really enjoy putting on every time without exception have been with me for years. Like old friends you can always rely on, I can count on them to make an outfit and make me feel great while I wear them every time. Well, today's outfit just happens to feature some of these pieces. I picked up this suede trench coat just before Paris Fashion Week, and haven't stopped wearing it since. Aside from the fact that I love trench coats in general, this particular one is basically a perfect combination of all the elements one could look for in a trench coat. Not afraid of using the word "perfect" too much when referring to this particular piece, everything about it is just, well... perfect from material and color to length ...

PATCHWORK IN PARIS

Image
Of all the outwear trends coming in for fall 2015, capes are definitely my favorite! Cozy and comfortable, yet oh-so-very chic and pulled together! This particular patchwork one from Chloe I wore during Paris Fashion Week is my current obsession! Love the statement-making retro color combination and the asymmetric hem which tends to drape in the most beautiful of ways! But as is with most pieces I tend to obsess about, what I adore about it the most is versatility! Obviously a bit partial to the way it pairs with floor-length flare jeans, I find that it looks equally stunning worn with a black turtleneck, skinny jeans and ankle boots or over-the-knee boots. In any case, the possibilities of wearing it are essentially endless and of course knowing me, you know how much I love that!  CHLOE Patchwork knit cape in wool , Hudson  bag ,  Carlina sunglasses & Harper  boot  | FRAME DENIM Le Flare high rise jeans | RYAN STORER necklace |  LARSSON & JENNI...

SUMMER STRIPES

One thing is certain, LA temperatures have officially become unbearable! HOT and HUMID, it feels like you you're in a sauna every time you step outside! Though I feel kind of silly complaining about the warmth and the sunshine because I am usually such a summer girl, nevertheless, lately I find myself longing for fall and somewhat more habitable temperatures:) You know, sometimes a girl just wants to enjoy her day without make-up melting off her face and frizzy hair...  As tempting as it is to hide from the heat indoors, daring to venture outside only in the evening, Emil and I are not really indoors kinda people. So, we've been trying to avoid the heat by spending the majority of our time in Malibu, which tends to be a bit cooler.  Funny, after hanging out in Malibu for years, we thought we knew all the cute hangout spots but I guess we were wrong:) Our latest discovery and obsession - The Malibu Cafe . Love the rustic decor, outside pool tables and paddle boat rides. Also, i...

70s FLARE

Image
Of all the SS15 trends, I think 70s-inspired looks are my favorite by far! I am literally obsessed with everything about this trend from high-waisted flare jeans and platforms, to round oversized aviators and suede fringe:)  My favorite way of wearing this trend is to take key 70s-inspired pieces and add a few modern touches and tweaks. Take today's look for example, to make this outfit a bit more modern, I paired my EXPRESS   flare jeans with a cute tie front blouse . Yet instead of going for 70s-inspired accessories , I kept this look clean and polished by adding a black leather bag and strappy heels. Of course, I couldn't resist adding a pair of oversized round sunglasses to the mix, but I honestly feel they enhance this look since the rest of my accessories are so clean and simple.  What about you guys? How do you feel about the 70s inspired trend? How do you wear it? EXPRESS Tie front short sleeve blouse , Mid rise slim flare jeans , oversized metal accent round s...

THE 70s FLARE

Image
I love skinny jeans! I love them a lot in fact, but after wearing skinnies pretty much non stop for the past few years, I am ready to add something different to my denim repertoire.  Why flares, you ask? Why not straight leg or boyfriend, for example? Well, mainly because I think flare is probably one of the most flattering jean-shapes there is, provided of course they fit properly. Like any other girl who is 5.8 and has a penchant for sky-high heels, when I talk about the proper fit, it's all about the length! I have a few pet peeves when it comes to clothing, but all of them pale in comparison to my hatred of short jeans and pants. When flares are long enough ( go all the way to the ground and cover your footwear completely), you look like you're 20 feet tall and the have the longest pair of legs in the universe, but when they're too short, well, let's just say the results aren't pretty :)  So, after trying a million different pairs on...
