Lately I’ve been very into pairing navy and black together, as is in the case of this outfit. (I promise the suede paneling you see is dark navy.) What’s funny about this is, growing up I was told that black and blue, as well as black and brown, were never supposed to be worn together. And look at the crazy color combos out there now! But that’s what is fun about fashion – it keeps reinventing itself, all the while keeping us on our toes. xo
P.S. My current lust list includes: this navy Givenchy bag and this black Helmut Lang blazer. Wishing they were in my closet right now!

I have to say, this skirt is the most lovely thing to wear. Not only is the fabric stretchy and has great movement, but I felt a lot like a princess when I wore this little get-up yesterday and strolled around the neighborhood with Keiko. The only issue is, I am only 5’4″ and this skirt is pretty high-waisted, which is not a problem if you are tall and lanky, but when you are a shorter girl with some curves like me, you might have to work with it a bit to make it look just right. What I would suggest when dealing with high-waisted, midi skirts when you are of the more petite stature: Showcase your waist, wherever is flattering on your shape, don a high heel, which will give you length, and lastly, opt for a fairly fitted top, whether it’s a tee you tuck in, or a classic button down that you tie in the front. Then pair with a bright lip and bag, et voila, you’re all set! xo

Fashion Week has officially ended for me and now I am looking forward to a fairly quiet weekend ahead to catch up on sleep, do laundry and watch all my favorite TV shows. I know it’s not quite Friday, but do you guys have anything fun planned over the next few days?
P.S. Sending out a huge thank you to Flores and ARROJO for my new fall hair color! I’m in love. Bring on FALL! xo

Played around with the camera a bit last night, as the light was beginning to fade into a beautiful sunset. (Thank you, Sophie, for hosting me and for taking my photos for the past two days. Love you!)

 I feel like such a lucky girl getting to stay by the beach the last couple days. My close friend Sophie has been hosting me at her house in Manhattan Beach since Tuesday, which is a block from the sand and sea. And, as some of you might know, I am a Cancer, (huge water sign) so being able to walk to the water everyday has been an absolute treat.
I wore this outfit to dinner last night to Darren’s, last night, where we indulged in the lobster chowder, and ravioli, and where I was surprised by a glass of traditional absinthe by Sophie’s boyfriend, Alex, which added quite the kick to my meal. (For those of you that have never had it, if you like licorice, you will like this drink as well as my other favorite, Pastis.) All in all, it’s been a great couple days in LA – so here’s a big thank you, Sydne, Sophie and Alex. xo

I’m spending a few days in LA before heading directly into fashion week in New York, which means I am soaking up as much sun and relaxation as I can before the magical madness begins. As far as this outfit is concerned, when I’m at the beach I love to wear my bathing suit and jean cut-offs, but I also love to dress up and feel girly. I have always loved a good juxtaposition and this outfit definitely represents that for me – a beachy maxi dress paired with a structured blazer and high heels. Something you wouldn’t think would be oceanfront appropriate, but when headed to dinner with friend for drinks and appetizers, somehow in my opinion, it works. The unexpected is always the most interesting, right? :) Happy Fashion Week, everyone! xo

Yesterday, my family and I spent the day in the quaint town of La Conner. We used to head up to this little corner of northern Washington when I was younger to admire the tulips fields, eat lunch at Calico Cupboard and then treat ourselves to ice cream. Sometimes we would even stay overnight at one of the quiet and charming little B&Bs the town has to offer. Needless to say, this place definitely holds fond memories for me, so it was extremely special to head back there as a grown up and reminisce a bit with my parents.

We ate lunch at the Calico Cupboard and I ordered the “Jewel Salad” and a cup of tomato basil soup. Their food and service never disappoints and they also have two other locations in nearby areas, so if you are ever close by, I highly recommend you check them out!
