HAPPY SUMMER

Enjoyed a lovely morning at LACMA with my Mom, wandering through the new exhibits. Perhaps the most fun was the art outside of the buildings. Such color and whimsy. A perfect way to ring in the first day of Summer.

COLORFUL+1950s

     Spent the beginning of my weekend going to a early matinee showing of "Godzilla" with my husband. Unfortunately, there was a mix up at the movie theater and we were unable to watch it till that night. Rather than going home, disappointed and annoyed, we decided to enjoy our morning with one another. We walked leisurely, window shopped, picked up some lunch and purchased some "His and Her" reading materials to enjoy when the weather cools off. 

     Of course, a great outfit helps lightens any mood and this one was especially cheery. I couldn't help but feel that this JAX/Zara combo outfit complete with my "Brigitte Bardot" Charlotte Olympia clutch was not only the perfect choice for the hot weather but also, a wonderful nod to the 1950's and a summering Carrie Bradshaw. 

Zara crop top, JAX 1950's skirt, Tory Burch Shelby sandals and Charlotte Olympia clutch. 

Thank Godzilla, it's Friday!

SWINGIN' BOTANICAL

      If you haven't seen Tory Burch's latest line of botanical adorned clothing, you must! I fell in love with pretty much every piece but this dress was the one that really spoke to me. It's a different cut that I'm used to with a prim neckline, criss cross back and flattering thin belt at the waist. In its entirety, it's a throwback to the dolls of 1960's and if anyone knows me, I love vintage inspired clothing. The day I wore this was a sweltering one, nearing the 90's here in Southern CA but even the dead heat couldn't stop me from skipping along in this fun dress.

The design reminds me of floral anatomical illustrations and seed packets.

Switched out my BCBG Maxazria wedges for a pair of Tory Burch nude sandals. Purse: Saint Laurent Classic Y purse

HOPPING INTO SPRING!

     I'm not a religious person but I love celebrating holidays, mainly because I get to dress up and be with my loved ones. This Easter, I decided to go monochromatic with a twist, adding my gingham bunny ears for extra celebration. As the day came to a close and we watched the tangerine sun dip beneath the horizon, I made a mental note: "I have to wear animal ears more often."

      Last couple days, I've been feeling the feline height and wearing my Miu Miu heels everywhere.  Not only do they make you feel like a real lady, they're beyond comfortable and they make my exit a bit of a party. Meow!

DEAR CALIFORNIA, WHERE'S THE WARM WEATHER?

   Not that I don't enjoy wearing fall/winter clothes, I do. I enjoy it so much that I'm starting to amass a rather fun coat collection however sometimes you get tired of being so covered up. California, bring me the sunshine!

ISLAND IN THE SUN

 Spent a few days in Honolulu, lounging on Waikiki beach with the family. I quickly fell into rhythm with the slow moving days. Entranced by the warmth of the tropical sun on my skin and the sweetness that hung in the balmy air. There's nothing like the glassy sea and the wonders of this beautiful island.
