I stayed warm this weekend in my new favorite blazer from Joe's Jeans! It's made from 100% wool, it's oversized, it goes with everything, and most importantly....it was on sale!!! Hurry and get yours before this perfect staple piece is sold out! I'm honestly obsessed with mine and I couldn't resist going back online and ordering another one in 'heather charcoal' too. 

What started as a simple and innocent  one piece purchase quickly led to a destructive shopping spree. There's nothing like going on a shopping spree to lift your spirits when the weather is too sad and depressing to go out...but I have to admit that I may have gotten a little carried away. I just couldn't resist all of the 'End of Season' sales! Anyway, I'd like to give a big thank you to my credit cards for helping me get through this stormy weekend! I owe you big time...literally! Lol

Even though the skies were nothing but dark grey clouds thundering and crying, I was on cloud nine! I bought some coats, leather jackets, jeans, and my absolute favorite scores...4 pairs of Jenni Kayne D'Orsay flats! I can't wait to wear all of these items on the blog! Hope y'all also had a GREYT Weekend!

This look was inspired by the concert I attended earlier this week with Eddie and a couple friends. We went to go see Young the Giant at The Majestic Ventura Theater and they were nothing short of absolutely amazing! The last time I saw them live was way back when I was a sophomore in college and they were still known as the Jakes so it was great seeing them again. The concert was such a hassle because it was inconveniently on a Tuesday night and over an hour drive away, but it was so worth it! Nothing beats good music and good company!

By the way, I'm actually in Eddie's truck on our way to Johnson Valley for the King of the Hammers race! This'll be my first time coming to this race so I don't know what to expect but I do know I'm probably going to freeze my bum off. It's supposed to be in the mid-20s tonight with a slight chance of rain so wish me luck! I'll definitely post up a photo diary of this camping trip sometime next week when my life starts to slow down a tad bit. There's just so much to see & do and not enough time! But I got to go now...it's time to get back to singing my heart out while Eddie stares at me (probably wondering why he's still dating me lol).

Frills and Thrills

Dress: American Gold Tristessa Tank (here)

Knitted Sweater: Chaser Brand

Booties: Kelsi Dagger (on sale here)

Bracelets: Vanessa Mooney

Pendulum Ring: Unearthen (from Spanish Moss here)

 

The weather in LA has slowly been creeping up to the high 80s this week and I couldn't be more thrilled. I celebrated the summer-like weather with this adorable American Gold tank (worn as a dress because short girls like me can kind of get away with stuff like that lol). I just made sure that I wore Spanx underneath for the occasional gust of wind that's bound to blow my dress up and expose me if I didn't. 

Since my dress had a simplistic A-line silhouette with minimal looped detailing at the hemlines, I decided to just pile on the jewelry for a little more pizzazz. I may have gone a bit overboard but I felt like being outrageous that day (or I wouldn't have worn a tank as a dress). I do plan on wearing this "dress" properly as a tank top by pairing it with some cute bell bottom pants once the weather in LA starts to cool down again. 

**Styling Tips (for the vertically challenged like me):

1. Wear a short dress because the more leg that's exposed, the longer your legs appear. 
2. Think Monochrome! Wearing one color will trick others into thinking you're taller than you actually are because the eyes will travel through the whole outfit from head to heels. *note that darker colors are obviously going to be more slimming*
3. Pair pants, tights, or socks with the same colored heels. It's the same idea as dressing in one color. *if you're going sockless/tightless with a dress, try pairing your dress with nude heels and try to avoid ankle boots*

This look was inspired by the fresh little stray kitties I found in my yard. I've kind have been more than a little obsessed with them, but how could I not be?!?! Just look at these cute little faces of theirs! If anyone is interested in adopting these babies, let me know! They're both super sweet, playful girls looking for a fun and loving home!

I wore this lion graphic print bodysuit with One Teaspoon cutoff shorts to a bar in NoHo (North Hollywood) with a friend this past weekend. I hadn't been feeling well all week so when I finally began to recover, I took full advantage of the weekend and hopped out of bed for some fun with some friends. For the most part, its been sunny and warm with some random rain/drizzle in certain spots of LA...making it a little hard to get dressed. I completed my look with some high-heeled lace-up  booties, a black beanie with snap button details on the back, and a hooded leather jacket just in case Mother Nature wanted to rain on my parade.

I definitely had a blast this weekend (when I wasn't stuck in bed) and I hope you all did too! Happy Monday!
