blending in (camo pants)

blogging:  hard when i'm not inspired. and also when i feel bored with my closet. but then i did some shopping (also have A LOT of stuff to get rid of) and feel a bit more like blogging.  i found out about a rag&bone/jean sale in LA.  it was like... amazing.  and so now i have some new stuff to blog about!  i picked up these camo pants which i'd had my eye on for awhile (really just waiting for them to go on sale & hoping my size would still be available).  i guess i got lucky, because i found them at the sale!  i love the pixelated camouflage print - something different from the rest of the camo print out right now.  in other news - i've jumped on the denim vest train.  and i'm obsessed with my dolce vita shoes.

i'm going to try to blog more... but i can't make any promises.  i mean, i'm really busy gardening and going to disneyland, so you know...

parisian-ish

the weather we've been having in LA is ridiculously undecided.  is it summer?  is it spring?  is it winter?  who knows.  it's 80 degrees one day and 65 the next.  maybe it will sprinkle.  its just that time of year when the weather just can't make up its mind, which makes getting dressed a bit more complicated.  i have to ask myself - will it be cold today?  will the AC in my office be turned up way to high because its slightly warm outside?  will the wind pick up and make it feel cooler than it actually is?  so much thought goes into getting dressed (never mind the whole "am i sitting at a desk or working on a shoot today"), its pretty much a guessing game when it comes to weather appropriate outfits.

luckily the weather decided to stay on the cool side - just warm enough that i could walk around without my trench but not so warm that i wished i'd worn a tank.  i also feel a little bit parisian in this outfit.  i don't know why, i was in paris almost 6 years ago so i really don't know what all the girls are wearing.  but my scarf is from paris and my tee is st. james.  so, you know.  i decided to pull out my neon pink cambridge satchel to add some color to an otherwise gloomy morning!

and i totally realize that this is almost the exact same outfit i just posted (minus the minnie ears), but whatever.  i like this outfit and in real life (vs. blogger life) people wear the same thing multiple times!

  

i wanna be formal

but i'm here to party.  except i'm not going to a party.  i'm just going to work, and this is what i wore.  this outfit reminds me of that quote about tuxedo t-shirts from talladega nights - trying to be formal (the blazer and the pumps), but really not formal at all (the tee and slouchy skinny jeans).

i didn't last in the shoes all day.  i haven't worn shoes like this since the prom and haven't gotten my walking on toothpick legs back.  also - my first time wearing the sock bun (in public).  i like it. 

down to urth

i'm gonna be honest - i only did my juice diet for like, 5.5 days. but i really was sick of making the juice. not drinking it, but making it. washing all the vegetables, cutting them to put in the juicer, cleaning the juicer, and cleaning the juice that drips on the counter. i know i said 10 days, but it was actually my first time doing something like this so i think 5 days was a good start!  

saturday the weather was amazing & my mom was in LA so we all went to lunch at urth cafe in dtla (i stayed pretty healthy and had the hummus & tabouli salad). i threw on one of my staple warm weather dresses - the neutral grey was the perfect backdrop for my new neon pink cambridge satchel!

i finally picked up the elizabeth & james sunglasses that have been on my wish list for the past 4 months!  nothing like a little retail therapy.  the rest of my weekend was filled with lots of reading since our internet was out for 2 days.  it was actually kinda nice!  hope you all had a good weekend!
