Waffle Knits & Lingonberries

The other night before walking into SoHo, we stopped into Swedish candy store Sockerbit where we took my outfit pic and of course picked up some new Scandinavian imported treats to try. We are not the foodie type of people and we're definitely not the foodie-blog type (we are not that adventurous!), but when it comes to Scandinavian confections, not only have we started seeking them out but you can expect to see one of us taking a picture while the other one of us is writing about it. Why Scandinavian treats? Because they are made with ingredients that we actually know of, the packaging is always well designed (total design every time I swear), and it is always delicious! American chocolate just isn't as good. Also, unlike other foreign sweets, which can seem odd in texture and taste, Scandinavian products have a familiarity to them, making them always palatable. SO, If you are looking for something new to try, the Lingonberry Dark Fairtrade Chocolate bar from Danish Chocolatier Anthon Berg is definitely a new favorite of ours. Made using cocoa beans from Ghana and dried lingonberries, this delicious dark chocolate has a subtle, yet well encompassed fruity flavor to it!

God Jul & Layering

I like layering different fabrics and silhouettes, I think it can make for a lovely cohesive look, especially if the color palette is well thought out. For this outfit I paired a silk slip (which I do not actually recommend doing in this weather!) with my short wool top from BCBG Max Azria and for extra warmth I added a jacket. God Jul!

Ark & co. Lace Dress

For Jordan's birthday dinner I wore a white lace dress with a scoop back from Ark & co. When I was packing to head estate side I forgot to pack a dress for this occasion. It was not until I was planning my outfits for LA (something I always plan to do but never follow through with; however, this time I did. I even typed the list of outfits out on my computer like I do when I style looks for shoots. Doing this made me feel beyond organized, to the point where I thought that I would not end up shopping. I spent the afternoon of my first full day in LA shopping. Oops!) that I realized this and in a state of panic I began to search the local shops but I could not find anything. I decided to be a little risky and look for something online even though I only had a week and a half or two before my trip. I found two dress online that I loved and got them in time, this dress of course being one of them!

Santa Monica Outfit

We made unplanned visit to Santa Monica. I planned for it to be chilly but did not plan for the wind that would almost blow my dress up, my hat off and left my scarf flying all over the place. My scarf being my new 'not a poncho but not a shawl either' thing that I got from LF. I am a little obsessed with it right now. It got me through al of the cold nights and days in LA and was perfect for the plane ride back!
