NEW IN :: SOPHIA WEBSTER MILA SANDALS

Good morning, Everyone! I just wanted to say a quick hello and share a few pics of my newest obsession, i.e. the Sophia Webster Mila heels I've been lusting over for ever now. What can I say, I love a great statement shoe:)
I first spotted them a few month ago, but couldn't decide which color to go with (they also come in black), but I finally figured the soft beige/grey is perfect for Summer and should pair nicely with my favorite pastel color palette. Which color do you guys like better? Black or Grey?

LIVE IN LAVENDER - SCHUTZ SLATE SANDALS & CHANEL BOY BAG

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I can't really figure out what's been happening with LA weather lately, seems like it's blazing hot one day and freezing cold the next. Cold and windy, that is... And not the good kind of windy either, but the kind of windy that makes you engage in epic battles with your hair in an attempt to prevent it from looking like a bird's nest! And my baby hair, which is not at all a complement, but rather the term my hair dresser uses to describe my super fine, completely unruly hair that refuses to behave even after a few coats of super strong hair spray, has been misbehaving majorly lately.
Which brings me to my question, I have tried a few hair sprays and none of them seem to keep my hair in place. Have you guys found a hair spray that really works? Really appreciate your advice on this one!

P.S. As I have mentioned before, I have once again entered this year's Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed challenge. So, if you like this look, you can CLICK HERE to vote and also check out my other submissions.

CASUAL COBALT - IRO SARESHA SANDALS & A.P.C. BUCKET BAG

Good morning and happy almost weekend, Everyone! I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few pics of one of my new favorites, i.e. the super cute and comfy IRO sandals I got last week. I've been searching for a pair of casual sandals for a while now. You see, I was looking for something to pair with denim shorts, distressed jeans and flowy sundresses but since I don't wear flats that much, I wanted a bit of a heel or wedge. Sounds simple enough, right?
Yet, it definitely took me a while to find these, since most high heels and wedges I came across had a decidedly dressier look than what I had in mind. So, when I spotted these babies, I knew in an instant I finally found exactly what I was looking for. A hybrid between booties and sandals, minimalistic yet detailed enough to make them visually interesting, I pretty much love everything about them! So, I hope you like them because I have a feeling you are gong to be seeing quite a bit of them on this blog:)

TALES OF THE TRENCH

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you're enjoying your week so far. Emil and I shot these pics in Malibu Country Mart, one of our favorite places to be on a sunny day or  really any day for that matter. We haven't visited Malibu in about a month, which is definitely a new record for us because normally we come here at least 2-3 times a week.
But I guess this unintentional break was a good thing, because even tough everything looked exactly the same, somehow it felt different and new and made us even more aware of just how much we love coming here:)

CITY CROP

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Emil and I ended up having one of those super unproductive yet altogether enjoyable weekends:) On Friday, we had a massive list of things we fully intended to do, but after getting up kind of late on Saturday, having a massive breakfast followed by a marathon of Game of Thrones, we gave up and then gave in, ordered some Italian food and finished watching the entered 3rd season. Got to indulge sometime, no? :) 

Of course, around 4 on Sunday, we realized that we spent 1.5 days in our pj's, and decided to go out for dinner. Yeah, Game of Thrones is definitely that addicting:)! Feeling a little guilty about the pajama situation, I dressed up a bit more than I normally would for dinner. So, I went  with a super girly lace skirt, a cute crop top and a pair of high heels. What about you guys, what do you like to do on those super lazy days?

ROCKING RED

Good morning, Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Clearly my obsession with dresses continues, and this glossy tweed number is my latest favorite:) Aside from having a bit of a weakness for red in general, lately, I can't get enough of the fit and flare silhouette.

The main reason of course is that it pairs beautifully with just about anything, from heels to flats and blazers to leather jackets (one of my favorite combinations), but also because there is something so feminine and elegant about this particular shape. What about you, how do you feel about fit and flare dresses?

LITTLE WHITE LACE IN LAS VEGAS

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you're enjoying your week! Wanted to take this opportunity to share part two of our adventures in Las Vegas. Emil and I sort of developed a routine when we come to Vegas, we get up pretty early, grab some breakfast and spend the day walking around, hitting as many of our favorites as we possibly can. On this particular day we started at Aria, and went straight to Jean Philippe Patisserie because someone, I won't tell you who, but I'm sure you'll guess anyway has a weakness for gelato:)
Next, we headed to Bellagio, because no trip to Vegas can be complete without seeing the beautiful botanical gardens and of course the fountain show. We've seen the show a few times, but somehow it never fails to amaze us in a completely new way. We spend the rest of the day exploring the strip, grabbing some dinner at Wynn and also catching the Le Reve show for the very first time, which, by the way was absolutely out-of-this-world amazing! How about you guys, what are your favorite places to visit in Las Vegas?
