Denim and Stars

{vintage dress and Levi's jacket via Melrose Trading Post, Madewell boots, Coach bag}

The weather has been positively summery in Los Angeles as of late, so I capitalized on the opportunity to wear this breezy outfit to Venice for lunch and later to the beach. You know those items in your closet that you don't know how you ever lived without? This vintage jean jacket is one of them. I picked it up at the flea market a couple weeks ago, and have been living in it ever since. The same goes for these boots- they've been my footwear staple since the temperatures dropped, but I love that I'll be able to wear them year round as well. The dress was also a fun find...I love the smattering of stars. 

Sidenote: I'm now managing social media for an outstanding men's fashion start up called The Black Tux. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (@theblacktux), if you please.

California Winter

When Invista-Lycra sent me these Citizens of Humanity pants, I was thrilled. I have a special place in my heart for anything high waisted, and if you followed my blog this past summer then you remember my much loved '70s-inspired jeans. These tawny twill pants are a dressier update on that summery style, and are surprisingly versatile--I can wear them with whimsical tops like this E&J beauty, or pair them with a crisp button down and cardigan for a more polished look. And the best part about them? While high-waisted pants often pinch at the tummy and legs, the fabric of these jeans makes them incredibly comfortable.  

I love the way the bell-sleeve mirrors the flared pants. 

Please, please gorgeous California weather- stay this way forever! Or at least until I leave for Amsterdam?
