new favorites

Boutique 9 Rusty ankle boot. Perfectly distressed and perfectly comfortable.

 Dolce Vita Grayson Coat

I really do wish I could have found the XS/S size somewhere, but the M/L will do. Ridiculously oversized... even more so than wearing your boyfriends jacket. But absolutely adorable.

California dreamin'

 Maya Brenner Designs
in sterling silver with an LA diamond

My dream birthday present. Aside from travel gifts and other incomparable things, of course. 
But I seriously think I need this to keep me sane for the rest of the winter here & in Tokyo starting in August... I miss California, LA to be specific.

mish-mash

 makes me yearn for warm breezy beach days (Oracle Fox)

it's amazing how tiny white Christmas lights can transform a room at any time of the year... mid-winter room makeover?

 It's official, I've developed a Nicole Richie obsession. It began with Winter Kate and has been solidified by this outfit. At least I can honestly say that my infatuation is strictly fashion-related....somehow that makes it sound better

While I don't like to skip over a single milli-second of spring collections, I had to make an exception for Proenza Schouler pre-fall 11. Love the tribal/neon fusion.

oh Palm Springs, how I love thee.

 My dream outfit for tomorrow, the next day and the day after. Leave it to The Sartorialist.

Olivia Harris by Joy Gryson

I love stumbling upon new designers at unexpected times and my Olivia Harris discovery perfectly embodied this. I was passing through Nordstrom with my mom, intent on making it to and from Pottery Barn to pick up curtains without getting distracted. But of course, I couldn't manage to walk by the sale handbags without a quick peek... and end up pulling out three different Olivia Harris styles without even looking at the label. Fate? Of course, the Gryson name was familiar but Olivia Harris, not at all. Where have I been!?


After my fateful encounter, I couldn't leave without at least one bag...

The Corset Large Sack..

in a grey/taupe color that I can't seem to find anywhere online...weird. 

This is definitely a line that I'll be following closely. The leather quality is outstanding and so buttery soft.

Zara fringe poncho

I picked up this cozy piece a few days ago.. and haven't yet found the most opportune time to wear it. The gloomy Southern California winter weather today actually would have been ideal... IF I was planning on changing out of my pj's. 

Not looking so promising...

neglect

...is inexcusable. but justified, right!? I'm only home for 3 weeks and that thought lurking in the back of my mind has kept me relatively busy.


So here's a peek at my last two weeks in sunny California..
