ORALE!

VEDA jacket // A.L.C. tank // Tibi culottes // Calvin Klein Collection belt // Céline shoes // Ray Ban sunglasses

I rarely accentuate my waist. In fact, if anything I'm constantly hiding it under baggy shirts. But if ever there was a reason to cinch it, it would be this belt. This glorious bionic belt. Never was there such a belt. Belt, belt, belt.

Side note: I am now inspired to take up Kendo again.

THE SEASON IN BETWEEN

Emerson Fry coat // A.L.C. tank and bag // J Brand jeans // Adidas shoes // Ray Ban sunglasses

This is actually my favorite blink-and-you-might-miss-it weather period of LA. Just about a week that hovers in the high 60s between "winter" and "spring" (quotations emphasizing our lack of actual seasons) - perfect for tshirt and jeans and a light jacket. This Emerson Fry coat falls into the ideal Spring outerwear category offering just a tiny bit of extra warmth with bonus points for making it look like you tried when really you're just wearing those same jeans + Adidas for the umpteenth time. I am, if nothing else, an illusionist.

FULL METAL JACKET

A.L.C. Blake jacket and Saville clutch // Equipment sweater // my grandma's skirt // Senso heels

Me in a skirt. Me in heels. Me in a skirt and heels. I know I know, take it all in. Rare occurrence indeed, but I've been so leather jacket-heavy these days that I needed a fresh spin. Sometimes you gotta lady it up ya know?

LUCAS

VEDA jacket // A.L.C. tank and trousers // Y's shoes // A.L.C. Lucas bag

A.L.C. makes clothes so perfectly wearable in every way. And now we have the bags to match. I'd never really been into having a variety of bags, but the hole was often felt when I'd see girls reaching into their duffels and quickly retrieving whatever they were looking for and well maybe I don't want to fumble around in my giant messenger for my keys after all! But now I'm covered. Sometimes bags are overly designed, but this one is perfectly classic, just how I like. I see a long term relationship ahead of us Lucas.
