Double Crossed

(Forever 21 Sweater & Cross Shirt & Bag | Marc Jacobs Watch | MyHotShoes Spiked Wedges)

Can a girl have too many crosses and studs in an outfit? Perhaps not! Love pairing this cross jumper with my cross button up underneath. I've also been wearing the crap out of this Marc by Marc Jacobs watch that I received as a gift from le boy. Not to mention these awesome studded detailed wedges courtesy of MyHotShoes! Hope everyone has had a blast keeping up with all the NY Fashion Week updates from different bloggers, I know I have! (Still on my bucket list to attend!)

Fall Staples & Winter Needs

Its fall, but in some places it already feels like winter. Which makes me wonder, is CHRISTMAS HERE YET? Luckily, there are always ways to pair your winter needs to turn them into fall staples. Lately, I've found myself wearing my booties with thick cardigans. Although I do wish its already cold enough in California to rock coats, it seems like its just wishful thinking. I've also been eyeing these gorgoeus bags for an early Christmas present to myself. Whats in your fall wardrobe?

Sorry for the quality of the pictures! I managed to snap a few photos with a simple digital camera right before I embarked on my busy weekends! I apologize for the lack of posting but I've missed you guys! Enjoy this festive fall outfit with my new favorite riding boats courtesy of MyHotShoes and the pictures of foods I've had this weekend!

The Foodie

This basically sums up my weekend. Raging through street food and buying little trinkets that aren't necessary but necessary! But who could resist!

Killing Me Softly

( 2020Ave Skulls Tank | DIY Shorts | MyHotShoes Wedges)
Who doesn't love a good old Lauren Hill classic? Other than that, the California heat HAS been slowly killing me. Thanks to this awesome rockin` skulls tank courtesy of 2020Ave I was able to keep cool this weekend. Loving the asymmetric cut of it cause I love all things asymmetrical. Gives everything character!  These MyHotShoes wedges are also darling! 
Keep cool, or if you're on the other side of the earth, keep warm!

Basic Ombre

(H&M Ombre Top | Michael Kors Bag & Watch | Zara Heels)
A perk of being in Southern California is the endless sun, and oh yeah, Disneyland. As to why I decided to wear a 3/4 sleeve in 100 degree weather I must admit, kind of a mistake! However, its always nice to effortlessly throw on an ombre top + shorts and not look like I'm prepping for an ultra lazy Sunday. My trip to the theme park was lovely as Ellen from Mintgreensubmarine came back for a week to visit El Lay. These heels from Zara are also my new favorite pair of work heels. It was a happy weekend, how could you not be happy at DISNEYLAND RIGHT?

Let Me Be Your Muse

 (Soft Serenade Dress Courtesy of Sugarlips | Forever 21 | Michael Kors Watch & Bag)

After a long day of work, a few friends and I were able to catch up over dinner and tea with my fellow blogger buddy who was visiting home from Korea! This amazing dress courtesy of Sugarlips was perfect for both occasions. Sophisticated enough for work and casual enough for a laid back meal. I can also say that no other dress has fit me quite as perfect as this one. Its V-neck line drapes perfectly across without showing too much, not to mention providing a flowing breeze from our hundred degree weather! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend!

Living While We're Young

(Forever 21 Jacket | DIY Shorts | Steve Madden Satchel | Michael Kors Watch | MyHotShoes Boots)

Although the first day of Fall has begun, we haven't been able to ditch the summer sun here in LA. I have my fall jackets all set and ready to go, but shorts and light tees are still my current staples to keep myself cool. I've also been sporting a more rugged look outside of work. Aren't these wedged sneaker boots courtesy of MyHotShoes awesome?
