lounge game


I am a day worshipper - I love going out under the sun, enjoying the warmth and light and the precious hours of the day to relax and walk around. It's just a natural indulgence of mine I always give in to. But there will be days that hold me back inside and when I can't see the sun, I'm not the same. So my tried and true way to perk me up is to fancy my lounge game up. Add the drama, add the flair, add the silk , add the jewels, and stroll through the kitchen like you're gone with the wind fabulous (could not resist using that quote from Real Housewives of Atlanta).

currently lusting for...

Maison Martin Margiela PVC boots and Rag & Bone Crinkled Metallic Boots

...booties for NYFW. I love the black open-toed PVC version of those wild mesh Maison Martin Margiela booties that set a foot rage last year.  Just seems like such a fun boot to wear with cute socks for the blistering cold of NY winter and yet be versatile enough to bring into the Spring and Summer of SoCal. And Rag & Bone here is really stepping into the arena, becoming the go-to brand not only for cool, effortless denim, but also for a classic bootie. The crinkled metallic adds a unique texture and eye-catching sheen to the beautiful, deep copper. These are enough reason for me to try to brave the cold of New York and wear these around. Keyword try.

penelopes vintage beanie

I had a blast yesterday visiting my best blogger buddy, Chanelle, and raiding the racks of her online vintage store, Penelope's Vintage. I found these awesome acid denim suspender shorts that are so much fun to play around with and this adorable polka-dot-slash-daisy-printed top. It's also my first venture into the world of beanies and of course Chanelle, the beanie master, would get me hooked.  I think the fact that the entire outfit was a whole new look for me (which I loved!) really gave me a new energy and just spurred a lot of laughs and fun. I can't wait to show you guys her amazing new lookbook coming soon and her own line of beanies! Stay tuned and check out the rest of her awesome vintage pieces here

Even though it's still winter, I'm getting into that Spring cleaning state of mind already...probably because of the recent 80 degree days in SoCal that's been tricking my mind. I'm so ready to purge at least half of my closet to Goodwill and Threadflip and take what I can get to rebuild a new, edited wardrobe.  Crossing my fingers I can undertake this major life overhaul this week. In the meanwhile, I went Spring buying for my shop and came up with this gorgeous draped dress that I've found to be absolutely perfect for a day-to-night situation.  It's so easy to wear to meet friends for a bottomless mimosa brunch, go drunk shopping afterwards, get a cupcake, and then end the day of this dream life with more drinks at the cool new bar downtown.  In fact, I'm taking this awesome itinerary and making this happen, soon. Yea, dresses tend to inspire my life from time to time.

sunday funday: for love & lemons

(images via fashiongonerogue)

I love model Ashley Smith and her portrayal of a wild-at-heart housewife trapped in 70s suburbia in the For Love & Lemons Spring 2013 campaign. My favorite piece by far is the sheer printed blue-lavender dress in the 2nd picture. I have to get my hands on that! What's your favorite?
