MALIBU CASUAL & PROENZA SCHOULER BUCKET BAG

Good morning, Everyone! Hope your week is going great! 

This is yet another one of my outfits comprised entirely of new and old favorites. Most you've met before, some more than others:) Yep, I'm talking about the Isabel Marant boots I've been wearing religiously. But honestly, I am obsessed!!! Not only do I love they way they look, they also happen to be really comfortable, which makes it even more difficult to wear anything else. 

You've also seen this Kooples blazer on the blog before and in all honesty, will most likely continue seeing in the future:) As I have mentioned before, a black blazer is definitely a wardrobe staple for me. Aside from being guilty of loving blazers a little too much in general, I feel, a black one is a perfect way to add edge and polish to pretty much every look imaginable. This one made my all time favorite blazers list thanks to leather lapels and the coolest little chain detailing on the front pocket! 

Lastly, I'd like to introduce you to my newest acquisition and obsession, the Proenza Schouler bucket bag. First, I really like the easiness of this particular shape. Somehow it feels fresh and new and also looks absolutely perfect with most casual looks. But I think the biggest reason I love this bag is the patchwork color blocking. Aside from the fact that it does a fantastic job of breaking up the monotony of my overwhelmingly black outfits, I can't get enough of this particular shade of burgundy paired with a slightly grayish cream. Though I got it just a week ago, I've been wearing it pretty much non stop! So, all things considered, I have a feeling it's going to be yet another one of those items which make appearance after appearance on this blog.

PLEATED PINK

Good morning, Everyone! How is your weekend going so far? 

Ok, so I'll be the first to admit that wearing sandals smack in the middle of winter is a bit insane! In fact, when I think about January appropriate footwear, sandals are pretty much the last thing that come to mind:) Yet, I find myself in this particular dilemma every year. That very familiar place where things I feel I should be wearing in Winter and things I actually can wear, given that it's about 80 degrees outside, don't exactly match. Sure, I've been trying to keep up the pretense that it's still Winter in LA by layering and wearing boots with pretty much everything, but as temperatures continue to soar, I am faced with the inevitable. Sandal weather is here:) 

Not that I am complaining about this! I'll take all the warmth and sun I can get! Maybe I am not quite ready to give up on cozy coats, sweaters and boots just yet...

A TOUCH OF TWEED

Good morning, Everyone! How was your weekend? Emil and I had another one of those super lazy weekends, which after a pretty exhausting week, was probably exactly what we needed. Funny, how our lazy weekends always begin the same way... On Friday, we make a ton of plans but come Saturday morning, we cozy up on the couch, have a super long breakfast, which slowly transitions into lunch and end up watching our favorite shows all day long. Well, after spending the entire Saturday at home, around 3pm on Sunday we figured we had to leave the house at some point. So, we headed to our favorite Sunday hang-out spot, i.e. Melrose Avenue. We fully intended to walk around and maybe do a little house shopping, but instead  checked out exactly 2 stores before settling in at a very cute cafe:) Productive? Probably not! But sometimes it feels so nice to take a break from running around and take a moment to enjoy the simple things ...
