Late spring/summer nights call for slinky silk dresses and slouchy cardigans. I've had this dress ever since I discovered Vena Cava through Gossip Girl and it's just such a beautifully simple piece. Paired with my Nanette Lepore cardigan that I've been insisting goes with absolutely everything... A perfect combo for drinks at the Ace Hotel DTLA (cocktail suggestion: Roses in Winter. Not too sweet & comes with edible flower so why not). A nice little surprise to the outfit came in the form of my elven ear cuff by By Boe. I'm always trying to let my inner elf maiden out. West Coast style.

[ Vena Cava 'Sarcophagus' romper ]

How wow is the top photo? And I'm not talking about the factor that was me but rather the factor of the tree. Particularly that of the halo variation?! I know, I don't even understand it myself & I don't think I want to. Things lose their magic when all the mystery is gone & I like magic. Now that you've had a chance to digest the wonder of the halo tree, I'll give words on the outfit. This Vena Cava romper is past past past season and every time I (try to) slim down my closet & I come across this piece, for a smidgen of a second it goes in the outbox folder, and then I come to my senses. That smidgen of a second is because it fits too big on me but the # of goods outweigh the bads on this one. The chevron print, the silky material, THE POCKETS (note the importance due to all caps), the metal tips on the drawstring, and the fact that it's got a good name. Sarcophagus. Product names have a huge influence on my purchasing decisions.
