MAD FOR TARTAN

The weather in California has been unusually warm this November therefore dress weather is still in effect. For a morning movie date with my husband to see the new Thor film, I decided to break out my newest Zara find: a tartan maxi lingerie-inspired maxi dress with a high slit. When I saw this on the website, I instantly grew mad…for tartan! The lace edges reminded me also, of a few Victoria Beckham slip-inspired dresses and I adore Vic. The dress has a low back and even the extra small is a tad big for me in the front so I had to pair it with a lacy bra from American Apparel. I don't normally like to have my bra show with a low back but I thought just this once, for the God of Thunder, it will be okay.

Thumblina Goes to a Colorful Fiesta!

  On Saturday, I went to a colorful fiesta themed party in honor of one of my favorite couples. The invitation arrived a few weeks ago, dressed perfectly in monochromatic purple. It suggested that everyone arrive in "colorful attire." Being a sucker for themes and requests, I've been planning my outfit for two weeks. All I knew was that I had to find the most colorful outfit that was also...cool.  (It was 90 degrees in the Valley, like as if!)
   The day of, I still didn't have a clear picture of what I wanted to wear. I chose my Christian Louboutin espadrilles because, those ribbons are the definition of "festive." For hair, the milkmaid was perfect. To up the ante, I chose to put the flower bobby pins again in my hair. This look reminds me of "Thumblina." I certainly feel like a pixie wearing it. For the outfit, I went with a bubblegum crop top and vintage yellow skirt made by JAX (my father's brand.) All summer long, I've been wanting to break out a lovely find from Jenni Kayne--a kiss infested clutch that would wake up several "sleeping beauties."
  The party was a hit and I felt right at home among the colored banners and animal pinatas. With a belly full of tacos, I went home with a smile, love in my heart for my dearest friends and a new pet that I dubbed "Leo." Ole!
