Sunday Lover

Top: Forever 21

Pants: GCGme

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.

Sure Thing

Top: Forever 21

Culottes: H&M

Heels: Vintage 

This outfit was inspired by the fact that Vegas.com recently asked me how I would style a look for Vegas. Since I'm such a grandma, my favorite thing to do in Sin City is eat a bunch of food (the brunch there is seriously amazeballs, especially at Paris) and snap photos in all the swanky hotels. So I decided to pair culottes with a classic striped top and peep-toe heels for a dinner-at-the-Lago ensemble. I feel like this outfit is an effortlessly stylish blend of formal and casual, which is perfect for a classy night in one of America's wildest cities.

90's

Crop Top: Forever 21

Leather Overall Dress: Forever 21

Sneakers: Forever 21

Choker: Forever 21

Sunnies: Forever 21

This outfit is the result of Forever 21 giving me a $1000 gift card, except for the pink choker necklace. I bought the necklace the other day and have been wearing it all day everyday because I'm a 90's bitch. I originally wanted one of those classic black chokers, but then I decided a pink choker was too fun to pass up. And after seeing photos from the Moschino show at Milan Fashion Week, I grew even more attached to my new choker because #BarbieRevival y'all. 

Lyfe Update: One more week until Chicago and then London. I'm about to be swallowed up by the Conde Nast/Vogue world on the other side of the pond and I'm excitednervousscaredready.

 I've been writing a lot of articles about New York Fashion Week for work and I noticed that both stripes and plaid are huge trends on the runway this season, so I decided to try my hand at a little pattern play by combining a striped top with a plaid skirt. I digged the clash and was gonna embellish with knee-high socks and a 1920's hat, but it was 80-something degrees today with 323912313% humidity (if there is one thing I hate in this world it is humidity) so I chose to just wear creepers instead (sneakers were also pops on the NYFW runways). 

Anyways, today was one of those mer-I-need-to-cheer-up days, so Carrie, her sister Caylee, and I met up at our hometown beach and snapped some silly best friend and sister photos. Our railroad track snaps were accompanied with screams of "I DON'T WANNA DIE! MARK WOULD BE SO MAD IF THIS IS HOW I DIED! I WOULD BE SO MAD IF THIS IS HOW I DIED!" from Carrie and Caylee, but everything turned out alright. We heard the train approaching from a couple miles away and Carrie + Caylee ran down the hill screaming whilst I snapchatted them and giggled. Then we shot some beach pics and melted in the humidity. 

Which brings me to these very important questions:

WHY IS IT SO HUMID IN SEPTEMBER!? WHY IS IT EVEN HUMID IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?! 

At least I'm moving to London in a few weeks so I won't have to deal with this nasty humidity much longer. I mean, London better not be humid.... 

That being said, I still think my hometown is perfect/paradise, so I'm gonna miss it terribly. No matter where I go, this place will always have a piece of my heart.
