THE COLOR OF CAPRI

I've spent the past few weeks indulging my inner shoeaholic looking for perfect heels to update my Summer shoe wardrobe and as soon as I spotted the gorgeous strappy pair from M.Gemi I am wearing in today's post, I knew it was a match made in shoe heaven!

Firstly, I love bright Summer sandals! I especially love to pair them with black, white or even both! Aside from the fact that adding a pop of color to a black and white outfit adds a dramatic focal point, it really elevates the whole look to another level.

Secondly, the combination of the sexy silhouette, buttery leather and sporty elastic straps is pure genius because it makes these sandals much more versatile. Obviously they go perfectly with dressy or tailored pieces, but I can also see them paired with skinny or boyfriend jeans and a simple tee all thanks to those slightly sporty straps.

Lastly, let's be honest, a comfortable pair of high heels is really hard to find. Though, I have to admit, I've sacrificed comfort for beauty in the past, it feels pretty good to find a pair of heels I can actually walk in. And I can tell you in all honesty, these babies are pretty darn comfortable! I've worn them all day long and at the end of the day my feet were still intact ( no blisters or blue toes like usual ).

I can probably go on and on listing all the reasons why I love these so much, like the fact that they are handcrafted in Italy and the quality for the price is amazing, but I'm afraid I would run out of space on this blog:) You know me, I get very excited about shoes and these ones are definitely my new obsession:)! In fact, I am actually considering getting them in black as well:)

By the way,  M.Gemi releases new styles every single Monday and each style is made in limited quantities. So, if you are as obsessed with shoes as I am, check out their full collection here, especially The Novella,  another one of my favorites at the moment!

BARELY PINSTRIPES

Good morning, Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 

Honestly, I can't believe it was cold and rainy just 2 weeks ago, but there you have, LA weather is that unpredictable and sometimes Summer begins in January:) Not that I am not happy about that! I love the warmth and the sunshine! Yet, I don't feel like I am quite ready to put away my Winter wardrobe just yet, but I suppose at some point in time it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore the the fact that it's 82 degrees outside and everyone is in shorts:) 

Of course the bright side is that I get to break out my new Summer wardrobe favorites like the super cool vest I am wearing in today's post. I've been looking for a longer vest for some time now, and as soon as I spotted this one, I knew I found the one! Love the subtle pinstripes and the length, but it's the deconstructed panels in the front that make it the real stand out piece for me. Today, I paired it with a flare skirt and a crop top, but I think it would look just as good worn with jeans and a tank. 

What do you guys think? How would you wear it?

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?
