What to Wear, Where

Daydreaming about future travels per us(ual) and started to feel like all my favorite pieces had a destination to match them or vise versa. Haven't made up my mind completely about when/where I'll go next (my For Love and Lemons is calling Florence, my Zara low pumps Rome, and my Stone Cold Fox some farm in the middle of nowhere) but I'll for sure blend in.

Paris + legzzz for days

 Provence + a nothing maxi dress

Paris + the perfect vintage suede mini --- currently hunting for you at flea markets across Southern California

 Venice + denim on denim on Chanel

Rome + flirty floral dresses

Recap: FNO at Beverly Center.

As I'm sure you all know, FNO this year was totes maj. From the freebies, to the GWPs, the mocktails and the cocktails there was fun to be had by all. Bloggers, celebs, models and more were out and about at Beverly Center and beyond to celebrate the ultimate shopping night and lucky for me, only one party-goer had the same F21 Exclusive Collection black and white chevron dress on as me (well, not technically a party-goer, but rather one of the gals walking in the exclusive Forever 21 fashion show). Although I was expecting some kind of catastrophic disaster that night (i.e. DJ playing Tyga's "Make it Nasty", photo booth falling over and crushing infants, models heads exploding, etc.) the event went on without a single hitch. Not only that, but I was so thrilled to see all the familiar faces out to support (#GoTeamForever). So with the bosses happy and wallet still full of money (couldn't even take a break to shop that night) I promise not the utter those three little letters for the next few months...seriously. File as let fashion week begin.

SO...I was at work the other day and couldn't take my mind off these orange creamsicle moto pants (see here); however instead of being a rational person and just ordering them online (same day delivery at headquarters #jobperk) I figured I had to swing by my nearest Forever 21 on the way home. BUT, instead of finding the pants, I came across these two beauties. Part one: olive green button-up eyelet romper and part two: dip bleached soft as a baby's bottom cropped denim jacket (which is the perfect unstructured and oversized fit.) Stay tuned for outfit posts to follow. File as obsessed.

Spending entirely too much time making my blog all fancy, super-fresh issues of Vogue, finding old embarrassing pictures (#CrazyCatLady), and swatches for bridesmaid's dresses? You bet yer booty it's summertime. Hope everyone is enjoying this extra long weekend, and instagramming it all for evidence tomorrow. File as until Tuesday.

Insta-Files: Tough Stuff.

My weekend? Filled with mint Gap Body bralettes, creating new blog posts and pouring over the Chanel Resort collection (stay tuned for its fabulousness), hanging out with the best roommate ever (Sir Leo Jones) and of course...having to decide which pair of Jeffrey Campbell wedge sneakers to return to Nasty Gal. Torture. File as happy weekend, loves.
