//BLACK VELVET//

Black velvet. Enough said. I have always been kind of obsessed with velvet anything. Bodysuits, capes, couches, curtains, you name it.

August. The month of heat in Southern California. Well, really in most of the United States that probably holds true.

Surprise, Surprise! I was sweating my bum off in this outfit today. I figured, well since it is January I might be able to get away with wearing a crop turtleneck and pants. In fact I thought I would even be a bit chilly, but the weather gods didn't have that in store for me today. Another sunny, beautiful, day and how can you help not to smile? The sunshine definitely keeps me happy!

I ordered these pants & their matching peplum top back in October but lately have been having a bit of fun pairing them with different tops such as this Reformation crop turtleneck. Although I usually don't wear a lot of prints (I tend to stick to solids, black and white mostly), I enjoy a good stripe/floral combo every once in a while.

Blending In

Stripes. Leather. Black Booties. Round Sunnies. All of my favorite things mixed into one simple outfit. We are still experiencing the heat wave of heat waves here in Southern California, and as much as I want to wrap myself up in chunky sweaters I am managing by incorporating thicker fabrics such as this leather skirt by Reformation. I purchased this at their Soho store last month, knowing it would quickly become a staple. Although it is cream, I still find it to have a very "Fall" vibe to it. I am excited to pair it with an oversized turtleneck and knee-high boots once the temperature starts to drop- fingers crossed for that to actually happen!
