sunday funday: saint laurent paris

I'm definitely a part of the group of swooning girls who will die for Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent Paris collection debut - perhaps it's the Californian in me. Although I'm not a fan of the name change, all is forgiven with the tailored suits, the long embellished cape, and the impeccable buttery smooth leather jacket in the last shot.

This Isabel Marant dress that I swooped from Barney's is my new flavor of the week. It's a simple shirtdress but its superb details make it the shirtdress to have. The silk/cotton blend feels amazingly soft (first thing I look for in anything), the red is wearable year round, and the hem is cut in the most flattering manner. It's such a staple that I feel so lucky to have found and bought on impulse (a terrible habit of mine, but see, good things come out of it). I instantly thought of the beautiful union this dress would be with this vintage Calvin Klein denim dress-turned-coat that's been crumpled in the corner of my closet for months, because it hasn't yet found its match. Good things come to those who wait! I love love love the deep denim together with the brick red. And from there I chose the Western road.

P.S. so many of you loved my mom's vintage skirt I wore yesterday, that I went hunting for a similar one until I came across the exact one on Etsy! So worth it.

Pairing my softest sweater with my mom's vintage skirt and spotted pointy-toes created what I can confidently say the epitome of my fun, feminine style. It was love at first sight with this blush pink linen skirt, worn by my mom when she was 23 years old, that has so much body and free movement and pockets. My mom really is my style icon (and role model) so I won't forget how ecstatic I was this past summer when she pulled out her plastic bin of old clothes and passed down two of her linen skirts to me, including this one. It feels amazing to have a real piece of my mom's history in my possession and closet. Combining the rest were happy accidents - I wear my Wildfox sweater every spare minute at home or when I'm too lazy to change so naturally the laziness was a factor in setting up the pair. But it worked to my favor desirably. And randomness trends throughout my days so I put on my favorite flats without looking and voila! A carefree perfection of an outfit that's me in so many ways. Perhaps thoughtlessness can go a long way in finding your look.

I just have to put it out there that this is hands down my most favorite editorial, ever. The energy, the incredibly styled looks from the amazing 90s, and the coolest action shots - that's that, I'm having these canvased for my wall.

taupe rose



It's finally winter in SoCal! After many winterless winters, it actually feels cold (relatively). Granted it makes me too lazy to do anything. I've been looking forward to this Christmas weekend for a while now, after I've become full time at KW, while still managing LAST NIGHT. Weekends are so precious! I'm counting down the minutes to when I can wake up to no alarm and stay cozy in bed aaallll day. Much of my holiday will be spent on the couch or in bed and I'm shameless to admit that. New Year's will be more kickin though, I promise I'll get out of bed for that one.

P.S. after all the talking & hunting, I've finally found my comfy, snuggly winter knit from Naomi + Lavender. It's sooo comfortable, I sleep in it, lounge in it, get groceries in it, sip coffee in it, eat brunch in it....


Happy holidays everyone and be merry!
