SPRING IN LA

Veda jacket // Alternative Apparel tshirt // vintage scarf // Cheap Monday jeans // Balenciaga boots

Forgot to post this from last month. But basically the same outfit as always.

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.

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.

LACKADAISICAL

Just your everyday can't-be-bothered outfit. It's been hovering around 80° in LA and it's hard to believe I was ever even in any sort of wintry climate. A leather jacket may have been a bit overzealous, but hey I did just come from NY.

VEDA x STOP IT RIGHT NOW

So excited to finally be able to announce my collaboration with Veda. And what better timing than at fashion week? If it's not yet clear enough that I love the Veda Castor vest (where have you been?), I guess this collaboration piece really drives the message home. Like the LBD, the LBV is something that should become a staple piece in every girl's closet. If I'm going to spend money on a good leather piece that will last me years, I want versatility and maximum wear. With a good leather vest, you can wear it over tanks in the summer, over hoodies in the fall, and over jackets in the winter. It really is a year round piece. And it only gets better with age. I hope you like it as much as I do. It is now available for purchase here.

CATCHING UP

Still waiting for the weather to make up its mind. Clearly this isn't from this weekend, when I was wearing 60% less clothing in the 100˚ oppressive heat. Nope, this is from the weekend before when it was dark and rainy. A little too extreme if you ask me. Waking up and checking the weather report has become too much of a thing.
