SAN DIEGO BLUES

Logic behind this look: a bit of blue is good but a lot is even better. In fact, I think it's pretty safe to say that no amount of blue is too much in my book, seeing how blue and I have a very special relationship. Of course by special relationship I mean that I am completely and utterly obsessed and could probably wear blue every day for the rest of my life and be perfectly content... So, I suppose you could say that this outfit it basically me living my dream, just me and lots and lots of blue:)

BEA ON MISSION

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

Though by now, I am sure you are well aware of my weakness for leather jackets in general, this pastel blue biker number is one of my all time favorites. The combination of pastel leather with edgier details like zippers, quilting and buckles, makes this one a complete show stopper and my go-to leather topper for whenever the weather gets warmer! 

I've worn it on countless occasions with anything from dresses and skirts to more casual pieces like jeans and shorts and it always manages to complete a look in the most amazing way. A perfect finishing touch to any ensemble, I have a feeling you'll be seeing quite a bit of it in the near future, now that the weather is warming up:) Hope you guys don't mind!

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?
