SEQUINED IN SAN DIEGO

Good morning, Everyone! Emil and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas! We hope joy and happiness snow on you, may all your days be merry and may Santa be extra good to you! :)

This year, Emil and I were hoping for a white Christmas, and kept going back and forth as to where we should spend the Holidays. Unfortunately, our travel plans fell through last minute and since we couldn't possibly have a white Christmas in LA, we figured a warm and sunny Christmas is basically just as good:) Rather than staying home, we decided to rekindle our somewhat unofficial tradition of spending Christmas visiting places we love the most. So, we packed our bags and headed down to San Diego. 

And let me tell you, after a few cold and rainy weeks in LA, seeing sun shine again, is exactly what we needed! The weather here is just perfect! Warm and sunny during the day, yet slightly cool in the evening. Honestly, we couldn't imagine a better place to spend Christmas, in fact, we love it so much here, we decided to make Christmas in San Diego a yearly tradition! 

What about you guys, where are you spending Christmas?

WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Good morning and happy almost weekend, Everyone! Can't believe how quickly this week went by! It started off pretty crazy, but Emil and I managed to carve out some time yesterday to take a stroll around a few of our favorite spots in Pasadena. Not that I don't enjoy being crazy busy:)! I'm a bit of a workaholic, at least according to Emil so, unless I have a million things on my to-do list, I feel like I'm not doing enough:)!

But of course, I realize the importance of having some down time. So, the immediate goal is to find a balance between crazy-busy and completely idle. For now, it's a work in progress but I'll keep you posted on my progress:)!

DOWNTOWN GIRL

Good morning, Everyone! Hope your week is going great, so far! As you can see, I am back in my favorite color. I guess, I can' stay away from blue for too long:) Now that we are finally experiencing coat weather in LA, it's been all about cozy and comfy separates for me. Like this wonderful coat { previously seen here }, which happens to be one of my favorites and not just because of the color:)

Sure, I love the soft grayish blue, but I also love the length and fit, as well as the double breasted button fastening in contrasting color. So cozy, yet chic at the same time! How about you guys, what do you look for in a perfect coat?
