PRETTY PASTELS

Good morning and happy Thursday, Everyone! How was your week so far? As you can tell, I am back to wearing my favorite color palette. Not really sure why, but something about warm weather and sunshine brings out my inner pastel fanatic:) But my weakness for soft colors aside, today's look is all about current favorites. For the past few weeks, I've been searching for a perfect light-colored topper, so when I spotted this cute number from Ann Taylor A-List collection, I knew I finally found it. I just love the super easy silhouette, combination of cream and caramel and of course the leather trim.
For today's look, I paired it with a jewel-collared shirt in baby blue and a matching cross-body bag, also from the A-List collection, which is now available on-line and in stores. So, check it out when you get the chance. To complete this outfit, I added a few gold bracelets and rings, mainly because I just can't resist pairing creams, blues and gold but also because I feel like every look can use a little sparkle:) What do you guys think?

GRAFFITI

Good morning, Everyone! Wanted to take this opportunity to show off my recent find. I spotted this amazing Milly skirt in a store recently, and simply couldn't resist. Can't really decide what exactly I love most about, the volume, the print or the color combination...
Of course it could also be that it's one of those amazing twirl-your-heart-out, great-day-guaranteed pieces, I love so much. And let me tell you, twirl I did, and possibly smiled a little more than I should. But then again, it's pretty much impossible not to when I wear this skirt:)

CROCHET CRUSH + CELINE CLUTCH & VALENTINO PUNKOUTURE PUMPS

Good morning and weekend, Everyone! Emil and I had one of those super crazy days yesterday. A bunch of meetings during the day, 2 photoshoots and a late dinner. So, I figured this was a perfect opportunity to pull out my new crochet skirt. I got it before New York and it's been really tough knowing it'll be at least 2 weeks before I get to wear it. You know how I get with cute new things:) Seriously, I had a crazy idea of taking it to New York with me, but decided that there was no way I can pull off crochet in 20 degree weather:) 
Reason why I love this skirt so much, is because it really is one of those versatile pieces I'm always gushing about. Yesterday, I paired with a belted blazer, but I think It would look equally great with an embellished sweatshirt or a nice button-down tied at the waist, for a more casual look. What do you guys think? How would you wear it?

STUDS & STRIPES - KENZO DRESS & VALENTINO ROCKSTUD CLUTCH

Good morning, Everyone! Hope your week is going great so far! As I mentioned before, Emil and I have a few trips coming up in the next month, so while we are still in LA, we are taking full advantage of the sunny and warm weather. And of course for me, it means wearing as many dresses as humanly possible:) This particularly stunning one from Kenzo actually accompanied me to Fashion Week, but New York was simply too cold to wear it. So, naturally once I got back to LA, it was pretty much one of the first things I wore:)
And given just how much I love it, I have a feeling you'll be seeing this dress again and again... Hope you don't mind:)

FIT & FLARE

Good morning, Everyone! So, I got back to LA on Saturday only to start packing for a few trips coming up in the next month or so. Can't tell you what they are yet, but you will find out pretty soon!:) Since the trip back from New York was kind of problematic, mainly due to bad weather and flight cancelations, Emil and I decided to take two whole days to recuperate. Meaning, we did 4 hour brunches, dinners with friends, a little shopping and a whole lot of sleeping:)

Ah sometimes, it's good to be home... And while I'm still in LA, I am determined to take full advantage of the warm and sunny weather by getting back to my beloved uniform, i.e. flowy tops and jeans. The particular top I am wearing in today's post is new and definitely one of my current obsessions. I just can't get over the detailing on the front and of course those amazing sleeves! I already have a million combinations with this blouse in mind, so I have a feeling you are going to be seeing this one agin and again!

WINTER WHITE + NYFW RECAP

Out and about for breakfast with Emil...

Good morning, Everyone! Just wanted to do a little recap of our adventures in New York. I wish I could post all the amazing pictures we've taken, but I am afraid I would simply run out of space on this blog:) So, above are some of my absolute favorites. Hope you enjoy! 

Quick change before All Saints presentation. I am completely obsessed with this McQ jacket!

Love everything about this look from All Saints Fall 2014 collection. The layering and textures are simply extraordinary! 

I can't wait to get my hands on these All Saints boots! Perfectly slouchy and oh-so-incredibly stylish! 

One of my favorite looks from Kenneth Cole Fall 2014 collection... Head-to-tow white, yes please! 

Fitting at Elie Tahari before Fall 2014 presentation. 

Love at first sight! Absolutely adore these dramatic black & white Elie Tahari sneakers! 

Rainbow colors backstage at Elie Tahari.

Perfectly relaxed, yet beautifully tailored! I seriously need this bright coat in my life!

I just love the way grey looks, paired together with sky blue! Yet another favorite from Elie Tahari Fall 2014 presentation. 

I felt like I was in a fairy-tale at Alice + Olivia Fall 2014 presentation.

Oh, how I wish I could get my hair to look like this at least once:) 

Shimmery, sexy and dark, I am completely in love with this cocktail dress from Alice + Olivia. 

I want candy! :) Definitely, my idea of a perfect party dress! 

Bling on my bag? Yes, please!
