Happy Hannukah!

Wearing a blue and white outfit in honor of Hannukah, complete with a lethally rich latke scent infused into the fibers of my clothes. My fault entirely - I should have known that wearing anything in the presence of potato pancakes sizzling on the kitchen stove will result in clothes marked with latke scent for at least two washes. Oh well, the latke scented outfit fits the theme, in this case. Hopefully the latke smell didn't find its way into my new favorite shoes! I haven't checked yet, simply because I'd rather not smell my shoes. These suede Steve Madden wedges will surely be sticking around for quite a while. I had been looking for a pair of solid, versatile wedges like these for ages, and finally snatched these during Black Friday (which doesn't mean much - they still weren't very reasonably priced). This vintage crop top made its debut today and kindly contributed to this blue and white color scheme. I found this top in a thrift store about a month ago, and haven't had a chance to wear it until now, given the indecisive weather. I was surprised to be greeted by rain on my way down south to LA for Hannukah last weekend. Sure enough, the sky cleared up and made for perfect hiking weather the next day. My mission is complete: I made a Hannukah outfit post. Happy Holidays! xx

A Girl's Best Friend

I enjoy making furry friends on the way home from rehearsal. Feeling very whimsical in my favorite pink lace shorts and boho H&M semi-crop top. Not very fall-like, I am aware. I am slightly in denial that school has started and summer is over, so I will continue to wear summery hues and styles until the weather convinces me that fall has indeed come. I seem to be gravitating toward delicate colors and textures recently, like this simple eyelet top. I do not know what about it makes it so appealing, but it has definitely been one of my ultimate go-to articles of clothing for those don't-know-what-to-wear school mornings as of late. On a slightly different note, how cute is this cat? If only my cat would let me pick him up. Just to clarify: I love dogs, too - I just happened to run into this cat. :)

Polka Dot Craze

pink lace shorts & jewelry - Forever XXI, blouse - thrifted, bag - H&M, sunnies - boutique in LA

It's official: I am in love with a pair of shorts. I found these babies at Forever 21 in Hollywood while on the search for the perfect pair of unique high waisted shorts - I most definitely found what I was looking for! First off, I am a huge sucker for lace. I probably bought about 5 differently-styled lace tops while in LA this past week. Second is the pinkish nude color these shorts channel, which provides as a lovely neutral base for this outfit, and for many outfits to come. Trend alert! This fall is going to be full of polka dots. I think this polka dotted blouse really adds an element of fun to this simple outfit. Thrifted for $3 at Santa Cruz and comfortable as ever... I live for killer finds like this one.
