Below are some tips that I find helpful when layering for the cold and rainy weather we've been having lately in LA. I personally like the option of shedding layers rather than not having enough layers & freezing my buns off, so I typically stick to the 3 layer rule.  

1. Start off with a good base. Then layer up your outfit piece by piece by piece.
2. Layer thin ➡️ thick ➡️ thickest.  Start with thinner layers and work up to your thickest layer. I started with a thin silk blouse, layered a cropped knitted sweater for some warmth, and topped off the look with a heavy duty coat from Reformation.
3. Mix it up with different textures and material. I kept my look fun and interesting by mixing silk and wool. 
4. Show off all your layers. I chose a cropped sweater to show off the bright blue blouse underneath and then draped my coat over my shoulders to pull the whole look together.

There's a bright side to losing an hour of sleep with the time change...literally! I'm just loving how sunny it is when I get off work! It leaves me with endless options of how I want to spend the rest of my day. I typically like to pack a nice salad, some snacks, and my handy dandy mat for a picnic or just bring my dogs to a nearby park and run around with them for some exercise. On this particular day, I was feeling extremely lazy and decided to do absolutely nothing but soak up the sun and still take advantage of the beautiful day. How are you spending the extra hour of sunlight? 

Winter Blues

I've never really been into the Canadian tuxedo thing but then I put together this look and I kinda like the denim on denim overload. I kept my outfit simple by pairing a lighter blue chambray top with some skinny blue jeans and layered a white & blue knitted sweater over to pull the whole look together. I accessorized with a simple Vanessa Mooney silver necklace tucked underneath my collar to add a little pop of shine. 

I wore this outfit to the grand opening of Healthy Spot in Costa Mesa! My family friend and his business partner had just opened up their 4th location of Healthy Spot! If you've never heard of it, it's pretty much a dog's happy place. In short, it has everything for your dog including: healthy organic food & treats, award winning grooming, doggie daycare, pet supplies, chew toys, and so much more! You should definitely check out one of their four locations if you haven't already. They're other locations include Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Marina del Rey.  

I attended the fun filled event with my family and Mr. Milo (he got a fancy new haircut, massage, pedicure, etc at their grooming center and loved it there). Hundreds of people also brought their pups to the event to sample the healthy organic dog treats, to take pictures with their puppy in the photo booth, and to obviously check out the beautiful new store. Some people even adopted the adorable pups that the I.C.A.R.E. foundation brought to the opening. All in all it was a great and exciting day and my pups can't wait to taste all the new goodies I got them! Check out some of the pictures that I snapped of the event at the bottom of the post!

Black & Blue

Just keeping it casual in black & blue while chic-ing it up a bit with heels and a faux leather cap. I felt like I had take advantage of the sunny and warmer winter days last week so I paired my outfit with some open toe heels.

However, this week has been miserably cold for me especially because I start to shiver uncontrollably once the temperature drops anywhere near the mid-60s lol.  And according to the LA Times, "A cold Canadian air mass moving into Southern California could drop temperatures across inland valleys into the 30s and 20s beginning Tuesday night and is expected to last through the rest of the week." Sadly, I don't know if I'll last til the end of the week because I'm already freezing my bum off!!!

50 Shades of Blue

I kind of went a little overboard with the blue yesterday lol. Not only was my flowy chiffon tank top already like 50 shades of blue, I paired it with some cobalt blue shorts from Joe's Jeans and a light blue overshirt from LF tied around my waist. I finished off the look with some white Jeffrey Campbell shoes, and blue and silver Vanessa Mooney accessories. Talk about overkill huh?! Hahaha

I wore this casual monochromatic outfit to hangout with some friends downtown. We spent the day just relaxing and catching up over sandwiches, pasta salads, and mimosas. After Miley Cyrus' annoyingly catchy song "We Can't Stop" played about 4 or 5 times, we decided to spend the rest of the day outside. We trekked over to Grand Park for some water splashing fun in the fountain, some hypnotic and repetitive sounding music that started to put us all to sleep, and a wide selection of food trucks. All in all, it was a good day spent with great people! Happy Monday!
