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. 

A.L.C. jacket, Vince sweater, T by Alexander Wang skirt, J. Crew necklace, DKNY tights, Sam Edelman Petty boots, Bloomingdales umbrella, Balenciaga bag. 

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.

A.L.C. Morris jacket, Céline sunglasses, Urban Outfitters sweater, Vince tank, J Brand jeans, Alexander Wang shoes, Balenciaga bag.

The Beverly

Christmas may be over, but my outfit posts from LA are not. Although, if you're looking for that so-cal sun, you're going to have to go elsewhere. It was a drizzly few days. 

I found the perfect shirt dress in Scottsdale sometime in November, and debuted it in LA, of course. Clothing comfortable enough to sleep in is always a win in my book. 

James Perse shirt dress, A.L.C. leather jacket, Céline sunglasses, Rag & Bone Harrow booties. 

Christmas Dressing

I promise this is the last post of things I wore on Christmas. The holiday season is just too fun! And dressing up for dinner only makes it better. 

Elizabeth & James dress (also awesome), Badgley Mischka earrings (similar), Nordstrom bag (similar), DKNY tights, Vera Wang pumps (different color).

Trapper

I had a bit too much fun with hats on Christmas, but isn't this pile of poinsettias gorgeous? I love it. And I hope you like this jacket as much as I do! I lived in it in California, and I apologize in advance for the abundance of posts featuring it that are sure to appear here shortly. 

A.L.C. Morris jacket, J. Crew top, J Brand jeans, Urban Outfitters trapper hat (similar), Isabel Marant boots. 

From Here to LA

From here to LA it's still warm enough for bare legs and bare arms. I'm hoping it will cool down soon, because sweater weather is my favorite. 

Ray Ban aviators, Urban Outfitters top and blazer (similar), J. Crew belt and skirt (on sale!), Vintage Shoe Company brogues (similar), American Apparel clutch, Marc by Marc Jacobs necklace. 

Buy Art: LYZ Design

My dear friend and bff since middle school has many talents, one of which is painting. The fabulous piece you see in these pictures arrived at my apartment in the midst of a downpour of the most depressing sort, but the palm trees and sunshine immediately overpowered the crying window it was leaning against. That's Lizzie. She makes you smile, no matter what. And I love her for it. Thank you, Ms. Elizabeth Grube, for this bit of LA now proudly living in my place!

Check out LYZ Design here. It makes me wish I had more wall space! 

Also, pink pants are necessary for life.

J. Crew linen tee (similar), Rag & Bone legging jean, Steven by Steven Madden shoes (similar), necklace from Security Jewelers, NARS nail polish.
