Miu Miu Stores at Night

Miu Miu stores remind me of doll houses and I think there is something so strange and whimsical about looking inside of one when it is closed. It is like looking into a doll house that you cannot play with and inside it is filled with beautiful things. If you live near one and you haven't looked in at night when it is closed then you are missing out, there is so much inspiration! Hugs!

Neon and Tan Waffle Knits

Even though the snow has melted and everything has returned to its normal state, my mind is still in a chalet chic mindset. This outfit reminds me of that 'just off the slopes, I left my Moncler (Canada Goose really) jacket back at my chalet (which is located in Megève) and I couldn't find my Pucci down vest as a backup, so instead I am doing the ultra chic thing and layering waffle knits to stay warm' sort of look. I like the way the tan waffle knit layers over the bright neon waffle knit, and the way the brown of the hat looks kind of odd with the tan. The black bottoms and the wedges only make the look more chalet chic in my opinion, which is a look that I think is quite lovely (even if I do not like skiing/snowboarding or being in the cold for too long). Hugs!

I'd like to be wearing

Do not ask my why, I know it is not the most weather appropriate look but currently I would like to be wearing this. The color pallet and mixtures of fabrics and textures looks cozy. Perfect for the train ride that Jordan and I are currently on. The CALYPSO St. Barth vest is kind of random seeming, but like I said before the weather is cold and apparently snowy so the outfit kind of calls for a jacket with more substance than this one from Alexander Wang. The vest seemed to be the only solution. I know the shoes, also from Alexander Wang, are not exactly snow proof either but I balanced that out with the fur cuff from Wendy Nichol and cashmere bottoms from Vince. It is fashion math. The top is from Miu Miu and the bag is from Prada.

Bill Cosby Inspired Post-Flu Outfit

This is my first true post-flu outfit picture post. For my first day back working I chose to wear one of my go to, fail safe looks. It is one of those outfits that prevents people from completely noticing that you are recovering from the plague due to its understated mixture of bold and seasonal pieces. So, when your body is not fully recovered and you are in need of something cozy and chic, strangely enough a Bill Cosby sweater is always a safe bet. To complete the look pair your Cosby sweater with a pair of comfortable, low key of jeans from a current of the moment brand, add a pair of almost tough boots and finish with a quiet but sturdy bag. I swear it works! Back to work for me, later!

LF LF LF LF LF

A couple of days into my trip the contents of my wardrobe soon became more things from LF than the clothes that I brought, which is the explanation for the LF shorts and top that I wore in this outfit. Like I mentioned in my post White Knit Shorts, I love LF knit shorts, so much that I ended up picking up a couple of pairs in different colors. I found buying a knit top in Los Angeles to be a little more difficult but I ended up happily buying this soft and warm white one. The back is longer than the front, which is a perfectly odd little detail that works well for layering and adds that bit of character that can make you love an outfit. When it got darker out I added my scarf thing from LF and swapped the Litas for my ankle boots.

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!

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!

Vogue Paris En Vogue

Happy Sunday everybody! Today is a study day for me. Hopefully the weather will get a little nicer so I will be able to get out and walk around! As usual, I will probably be taking some blogging breaks. Either way, this section of 'En Vogue' from Vogue Paris is on my virtual mood board right now! En Vogue is such a lovely part of Vogue Paris, it is like a condensed mood board. Okay, back to studying! Later!

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!

I actually finished a Polyvore set

I am not sure why but I never seem to be able to finish a set on Polyvore. Maybe it is because of my short attention span, or the fact that I am never able to find the garments that I want to use, or maybe it is a mixture of both, I am not sure. When I finally did complete one (I took a day long break) I felt a little accomplished. Here is my look! Later!

Prada shoes

Do you remember the season that these Prada shoes are from? I do and I can remember feeling like having a pair was a totally necessary thing. They are so 'that season Prada' that I hardly have worn them, which is silly because I have never cared what season something is from and why should I start? Especially with this pair of shoes, I still think that they are beyond cool!

Friday

Friday I went with my Father to Bloomingdales in Soho where I picked up some of my essentials. I also picked up Prada Infusion de Rose.
