SANTA MONICA

Good morning and happy almost weekend, Everyone! Whenever I get restless ( and with Fashion Week approaching fast, I've been getting restless quite a bit lately ), feel tired, uninspired or under the weather, Emil and I head straight to Santa Monica, get a cup of tea or coffee and just sit on the beach staring at the ocean. You know, they say there are three things you can look at forever, burning fire, water and starry sky... Well, staring at the ever-changing Pacific ocean tends to do the trick for me. A few hours at the beach, and I feel like a new person! Bight-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready for action! :) 

What about you guys, is there a place you go to recharge?

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:)
