yup, it's december and i'm still walking around in sweatshirts (flashback to last year when i was in a parka shivering in the snow). the winter season has been mild and wonderful. this outfit, however simple it may be, is my sunday go-to when doing chores around the city.

if there's one thing i've thoroughly enjoyed about living in the city, is that no matter where you go, there's always a kaleidoscopic myriad of outfits. stepping out with cowboy boots was definitely out of my comfort zone but oh so much fun.

this summer i've been quite drawn to shirts with horizontal stripes (you'll be seeing more and more of this). although in the past i've strayed away from them for utter fear that i'll appear wider than i am, i've surpassed that superstition and have embraced the stripes. paired with an olllllld school a&f skirt (this dates back to my college days, people!), it makes such a simple and cute outfit.

with the temperature rising and rising i've been venturing and staying more faithful to dresses. keeping a bit of an edge and not having everything be so floral and bright, this number is reminiscent of a mechanic's coverall, which is actually a plus in my book!

nothing could have made me happier than having a four day weekend (i know right?!) with the weather being nothing short of glorious. alas i'm welcoming dresses to my wardrobe and saying adios to the sweaters. where as last spring and summer, i fully indulged in shorts and tees, the forecast it seems for me this year to be dresses - from loose to tunics to structured. i'm embracing the feminine while keeping it sharp. with high street brands, effortless marries affordable. wish me luck!

the simple fact that spring is in the air brings a smile to my face every morning as i awake. thinking about it the other day, i noticed that i had never lived in a location where spring was actually a season. being from los angeles and miami, the weather is extremely temperate and i've never been able to see buds on trees, or green grass surface from the dead of the soil. it's quite amazing seeing things bloom before your eyes.

3.1 phillip lim

i'm over the moon thrilled to have bought these fabulous 3.1 phillip lim trousers - my first purchase from a brand that i'm completely in awe of. pairing it up with my ol' faithful blouse, i gave it a different twist by literally giving it a twist (insert me chuckling here). by creating a knot in the blouse, the look was transformed from a somewhat traditional outfit, to one that is more modern. alas, the self made crop top!

some weekends are made for flip flops...throwing on a white t-shirt and calling it a day. even in the laziest of days, slapping on a multitude of bracelets (and not to mention my favorite watch), and camo pants makes all the difference.

hope everyone had a great labor day weekend! i know i did!

now that summer is winding down (although the weather in LA would prove otherwise), i'm looking forward to mixing a bit of autumn into the wardrobe. bringing out the long-sleeves and mixing them in with shorts is an easy go-to. not to mention i'm really on one for the bodysuits from american apparel. such a staple.

how did you all spend the weekend?

this has to be my new favorite go-to outfit when running around town to do errands (ie: the check out line at target must think i only have these sole articles of clothing). how could i resist though... it's so effortless and on point with the summer trends.

this (hands down) has to be my favorite print in the universe thus far - pretty bold statement, huh? what seems to be flowers, are actual ice cream cones. this 100% silk attire is absolutely perfect for this hot summer we're predicted to have. and just like that, this entire ensemble can effortlessly transition from day to night.
