Sandals: Street Market 

I met up with my high school best friend for the first time in over a year the other day and he told me that I seem more “fashiony” now. Not sure I buy it slash not entirely sure what more “fashiony” even means but this outfit makes me feel quite “fashiony” in the editorial sense. I think it’s the high-waisted trousers which GCGme recently sent me. I’m such a sucker for anything high-waisted so when I saw these pants on their site I immediately fell in love. The vertical stripes elongate my legs and the voluminous silhouette creates a light and breezy feel. V reminiscent of The Row without the ridiculously expensive price tag.

If you’re currently looking for a pair of wide-leg, high-waisted trousers, then these ones are it. I can’t say anything bad about them. In fact, they’ll probs be my go-to pants for the rest of the year since they’re extremely versatile. Can’t wait to wear em with a chunky, oversized sweater and booties once it’s actually fall in LA. It’s still 90 degrees out here, sigh. I just want to bundle up in knits and knee-high socks and drink my pumpkin spice latte in the crisp autumn air!!

Anyways, check out GCGme for more chic pant options. They also sell jumpsuits and maxi dresses online as well so lurk away! Sunday’s the perfect day for sitting at home and shopping, is it not?

P.S. On Friday I was invited to the Troubadour in West Hollywood to check out this bluegrass folk band called Fairground Saints. Drove from DTLA to West Hollywood in stressed-out terror (I hate driving in LA & only drive to work & Uber everywhere else but decided to give it a go this time around), but it was 100% worth it because this trio is all the emotion you could ask for on a Friday night. My favorites are Ain't Much For Lyin', Still and Sunday Lover. Put everything away for a few minutes and just listen to this sound. It's exactly what your soul needs.

Menswear in womenswear was quite the rage at the most recent New York Fashion Week. Iconic fashion names like Public School, Rag & Bone, and even J.Crew featured androgynous looks on the runway with models strutting around in masculine silhouettes and oversized outerwear. In celebration of all the cool girls wearing boy clothes, I snagged this vintage suit jacket from my dad's closet and teamed it with a bandeau (a la sports bra + blazer street style inspo), leather joggers (holla Kanye), and Nike running shoes (cuz sports shoes are still in for the season). I know I said that, as a former competitive athlete, I'd never wear running shoes in a non-running setting, but then I wrote an article on Nike Frees for work and fell for the trend. Because my ensemble still felt a bit bare, I plopped on my former 3D glasses that I popped the lenses out of. I usually hate how I look in glasses (which is why I never let people take photos of me when I'm having a glasses day), but these ones were so weird and worked with my outfit so I made an exception. That being said, this is probably the only and the last time you'll see me in glasses on my blog because I really do look super derpy in glasses and get all self-conscious in them. 

If you're inspired by this blogpost and feel the urge to give menswear a go, Bonobos has a great selection of sharp suit jackets here. They recently emailed me about their upcoming Fall 2014 Men's Suit Collection, which features signature Italian wool suits, charming tweed blazers, and well-tailored tuxedos. The suits come in standard and slim fits, and short, regular, and tall sizes. If wearing men's suit jackets and blazers is too daring for you, then you should still take a peek anyways for the dudes in your life. Whether it be your dad, brother, or boyfriend, a man with style is always warmly welcomed, so Bonobos would be a great place to lurk for birthday or early Christmas presents. I mean, if television has taught me anything (cough cough Chuck Bass cough Barney Stinson), it's taught me that you can never go wrong in a high quality suit. So check out the Bonobos Men's Suit Collection. Now.
