STUDDED FAVORITES

Relaxed vibes and all my studded favorites in one kinda look. This leather skirt is proving useful in all kinds of marvelous ways. So good with any oversized shirt, I am more than a little addicted to pairing it with denim or relaxed knits! Today, I wore a simple white button down and my studded Laurence Dacade sandals, or as I like to call them the only pair of heeled sandals comfortable enough to to go hiking in:)!

70s FLARE

Of all the SS15 trends, I think 70s-inspired looks are my favorite by far! I am literally obsessed with everything about this trend from high-waisted flare jeans and platforms, to round oversized aviators and suede fringe:) 

My favorite way of wearing this trend is to take key 70s-inspired pieces and add a few modern touches and tweaks. Take today's look for example, to make this outfit a bit more modern, I paired my EXPRESS  flare jeans with a cute tie front blouse. Yet instead of going for 70s-inspired accessories, I kept this look clean and polished by adding a black leather bag and strappy heels. Of course, I couldn't resist adding a pair of oversized round sunglasses to the mix, but I honestly feel they enhance this look since the rest of my accessories are so clean and simple. 

What about you guys? How do you feel about the 70s inspired trend? How do you wear it?

LATTICE

It's not really a secret that I have a soft spot for dresses, but cute little white dresses are definitely a particular weakness of mine. Oh, and if a cute little white dress happens to have pockets and lattice-effect panel on the front, I simply cannot resist:) I picked up this cute IRO number from Net-a-Porter a few weeks ago and we've been inseparable ever since. Love that I can dress it up with a pair of heels and a clutch or down with cross-body bag and flats or in this case, wedges. Basically, a perfect little summer dress for any occasion! And you know how much I love versatility... :)

JOAN'S ON THIRD :: STUDIO CITY

Good morning and happy Friday, Everyone! I just wanted to say a quick hello and share a few images from last Wednesday. As you can see, I've been reunited with my favorite partner in crime, Sydne from SydneStyle:) We've been so busy lately, we haven't really had a chance to catch up in a while, so this lunch was well overdue! Anyway, we ended up going to this cute little place in Studio City, which is definitely among my favorite restaurants as of lately! I don't know what it is, but I've developed a massive obsession with salads and soups and they offer an abundance of options in both! Seriously, if you love salads, you have to try their Chinese Chicken Salad, it is seriously one of the best I've ever tried! 

On that note, what are your favorite restaurants in LA?

MELLOW YELLOW

There are very few places that make me feel the way I do in Palm Springs. I don't know what it is, the sun, the endless dips in the pool or the cooling drinks with little umbrellas in them, but honestly, Palm Springs is the place where I feel completely relaxed and at peace... Since Emil and I share this obsession, we like to get away to Palm Springs every chance we get and spend a few days in nothing other than our swim suits, soaking up the sun and working on our tans:)

Though we've stayed at a few different places in Palm Springs, Viceroy, sorry Avalon ( still can't get used to the name change ) is our absolute favorite. Aside from the beautiful property, I think what we like the most about Avalon is the pool area, and since that's where we spend the majority of our time, it's important:) The salt water pool, cute sunny yellow umbrellas and comfy loungers, which incidentally match my new bikini perfectly, and lots and lots of pretty greenery around, I mean what else can a person ask for? :)

Talking about my new bikini, I've been looking for a reversible suit for some time now, and this pretty sunny-yellow number from Via Delle Perle immediately caught my eye. I love yellow bikinis, I think they are classic and look so great on tan skin. But what I like about this particular one is the fact that it reverses to a pretty floral print, so you basically get two swimsuits in one:) I also got a matching Via Delle Perle coverup jacket complete with a hood, sheer sleeves and pockets, basically all those little details I appreciate so much! Wise decision on getting that jacket, by the way! Cause we get so lazy in Palm Springs I don't even bother changing for dinner, normally I throw something over my bikini and off we go and this coverup jacket paired with denim shorts looked super cute! 

What about you guys, what are your favorite vacation spots?
