Coffee Break

Next time you're shopping, pick up a latte at Nordstrom's Ebar. They're amazing. Also, the soundtrack to The Great Gatsby was released yesterday, and will be on repeat on my ipod for the foreseeable future. Download it here. It's so so good.

Khaki Scouting

I fell in love with Moonrise Kingdom this past summer, as I said in this post, and re-watched it last night. It's still just as magical the second time around.

Minnesota Girls

Unfortunately, I haven't been in Minnesota in quite awhile now, but something about this outfit feels very reminiscent of those winter days on campus, rushing to and fro across the Mississippi River with more books than anyone should carry at once. J. Crew and college co-eds go so well together. 

Or maybe it's just my recent obsession with Communist Daughter, and this song.

For Emma, Forever Ago

 These photos are from a drizzly, Bon Iver appropriate day at the Century City Mall in LA. Please excuse the over-appearance of this jacket this week. It was the only one that made sense during my freezing-by-LA-standards stay.

So LA

Loving on my sponsor.

Dancing across the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Probably the coolest American Apparel location ever. 

There are definitely worse ways to spend a day than playing tourist at the Hollywood Walk of Fame/Grauman's Chinese Theatre and in Malibu. California, you're always so pretty.

Christmas is Coming

With Christmas only eleven days away, and tons more to do before then, it's nice when those little things remind you of the season. For example: Starbucks' red cups. Especially when they coordinate perfectly with my green sweater to make these photos a bit more seasonally appropriate. And A Charlie Brown Christmas album, on repeat. It's my favorite. Do you have a favorite Christmas album? Or Christmas song? 

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Thank you, Alice, for these photos! And the fabulous lunch date :)

Blink and You'll Miss a Revolution

Sometimes I forget how good Cut Copy is. And how good mixing prep with punk is.

Hooded

The weather has finally been cold enough to pull out my winter coats, which I couldn't be happier about. It's supposed to warm up a bit this week, but I'm hoping for more winter soon. And more snow. Always more snow. Especially for Christmas.

Real Straight Talk

I've recently become obsessed with the idea of blue suede pumps. After searching through my usual suspects, including J. Crew and Nordstrom, I came across this pair. They were still full price at the time though, and I already had them in black leather. I'm certainly not opposed to buying more than one color of something I love, but paying a large amount for what would likely fall out of use much sooner than its more classic counterpart seemed silly. But then the shoes went on sale, and directly into my wardrobe. Their complimentary qualities when paired with gold brocade only gave them bonus points.

Rigged & Ready

It just made sense to pair torn up jeans with a torn up sweater. It all feels cozier that way, somehow.
