at crossroads with carven.

Short blogging hiatus while I was playing maid of honour to my best friend's wedding. What an exciting time for her! Anyway, back to the post at hand, this crisscross crop by Carven has been on my radar for quite some time and although I originally wanted it in black, after seeing the optic white version in an editorial in Jalouse magazine, I was sold. Rosie just makes anything look sexy. And that's hard to do with this top being basically made out of 2 large arm slings. That's kinda why I love it though. Paired here with some silky scalloped shorts for some delicacy and then a complete 180º with these iconic Balenciaga boots that are really good for stomping and asserting confidence in oneself. 
Have a good weekend everyone!

Peeks of skin in what I can only describe as a cutout bib that somehow mimics a bulletproof vest. Yeah, beats me too. I first saw this top in a Vogue spread with Rooney Mara and although I'm no girl with a dragon tattoo, it definitely emulates a tough chick vibe. Hope everyone is having a great start to 2014 and that by now, your Christmas lights are down unlike these people in West LA. Although... where else would I be able to find a twinkling peace wreath to shoot with?

Wintertime in LA calls upon this current season Zara sweater that I wore in the post below as well as a nice big fluffy jacket to justify having your bare legs out to brave the night air. Post dinner and pre gig, Stevy had time to walk the streets of Hollywood with me in search of a viable blog post backdrop. Here I am looking cold & coy in front of the wood panelled walls of the Hollywood Sound Studio off N Cahuenga. Outfit details include this new-to-me Wang skirt that I got off eBay in all its mud coloured crocodile corseted glory and hey my nail polish matches! It's nice when things work out like that. The thing to remember with leather skirts/shorts/pants anything is longevity. So although one good leather piece might take a huge chunk out of your wallet at that one moment, if the piece in question is going to be worn so many times that the cost-per-wear is down to like, $0.80 - it is worth it. Proof of this is seen in my leather Zara pumps! Purchased years ago and worn 99% of the time I need heels. True story.

Finally a post that properly surmises the weather in most parts of the world given that it's now December and we're all breaking into our advent calendars with gusto. Depicted here is an outfit worn through the back woods of my old highschool where we'd have to take brisk morning runs through for PE class. Ah, youth. Obviously I wasn't running that day but given the terrain, my worn out boots were called for. The amount of cropped tops I own with absurdly long sleeves is getting a little out of hand but I can't seem to stop. This one I spotted while in NY during Fashion Week and it has proven to be a very useful staple. Seen here layered over what I can only describe as a fashionable take on a bulletproof bib that gave my stomach a little more coverage from the chilly winter air. This tweed boucle skirt has been in my closet for years although oddly enough this is the first time it has made a digital presence on my blog. And one last thing, a hurray to parents who had impeccable style & clothes to pass along to their offspring. Way to go.
