we have been at the LF in LA

Sorry I have not been blogging recently, after I got over being sick I headed to LA where there was little time to blog. I did take lots of photos for blog posts though! Jordan and I made it back to my home up North on Friday just before the hurricane scare hit the city. Now we are waiting for things to pass and on Tuesday we will head back to start our next term at school. Here are some pictures from my first full day in LA. Jordan and I walked over to the LF on Larchmont in the morning so I could shop the sale while it was still on. I picked up a few things that you will get to see soon!

If you can remember my post 'Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry' I mentioned how packing for the East side allows me to see what my favorite items of clothing/shoes/accessories are. With the exception of my current favorite accessories other than the clutch and the DMM bags (or Dress Me Bags if you are into bad word play), here are some of my favorite items in my wardrobe right now. Now that we are currently in a heat wave the sweaters are not getting as much attention as the other garments which are light and soft.

LF Top William Rast Shorts and Opening Ceremony Shoes

Lately my wardrobe consists mostly of basics with the exception of a few more formal but still lightweight garments like this top from LF. Today I paired it with my favorite pair of denim shorts from William Rast and shoes from Opening Ceremony.

William Rast Shorts T by Alexander Wang Top summer look day to night

My outfit from last night (which I actually spent most of studying) consisted of a soft white top from T by Alexander Wang and denim shorts from William Rast. In my mind the everyday white t-shirt and denim shorts combination is one of those classic summer styles that can be worn day or night depending on what you pair it with. I took advantage of this versatility and added a polite, soft, slouchy, black leather bag, and to give a more put together feel I balanced the laid back casualness with some overtly structural elements: these cuffs from H&M that I picked up ages ago and the Lita platforms.

Also I am currently waiting for my best friend to get into the city! She lives in Dallas and I have not seen her ages! Wahoo! Okay, back to studying! Later!

Spring/Summer look updated: Club Monaco Cashmere & Leopard Print Scarf

Yesterday when I was in Soho I bought this new cashmere jumper that was on sale at Club Monaco. I had never actually been to a Club Monaco I do not think. I am not going to lie it was Snejana/their lookbook that made me go into the store (also the fact that the temperature dropped and I was quite cold). I love the fit and how soft it is. It was my gift to myself.

I also bought this leopard print shawl from Bloomingdales, which is lovely because it unfolds into what seems like a small blanket. Also, if you know me you know that I have been in search for ages... maybe a year, for a leopard print scarf that I like. I am excited to say that I found it! With my two new lovely items I put together an outfit that I am excited to wear. It is pretty much the same as my summer time uniform from last summer but with a different pair of ankle boots.
