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!

madewell trench (similar), st. james tee, rag & bone jeans, boutique 9 oxfords (similar), elizabeth & james sunnies, cambridge satchel bag

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!

  

fall/winter wish list

the weather is finally starting to cool down a bit and i'm starting to feel like i need a few changes to my wardrobe as the season is changing...

1. rag & bone the skinny - my favorite dark denim skinnies are ready to be retired, so i'm in the market for a new pair. 
2.  paige verdugo legging - i need one new fashion denim piece.  these paisley print leggings are perfect, not too loud but more interesting than a solid color.
3. penfield buffalo plaid flannel shirt - can't go wrong with a buffalo plaid flannel shirt.  i would probably wear this every other day... 
4. marc by marc jacobs mouse flats - i've wanted those marc by marc jacobs flats for oh so long, this might be the year i actually buy them.
5. madewell lily lace dress - nice enough to wear to holiday parties, but could also be dressed down for everyday!
6. free people oversized panda cardi - an oversized cardigan has been missing from my closet, and i've been getting tired of my oversized pullovers.  this cardi is the answer!
7. sorel tivoli boot - i love my uggs, as ugly as they are but they just aren't cutting it anymore!  with the rubber bottom and good traction these will be a perfect replacement to (old) uggs.
8.  st. james striped tee  - another classic that is (kinda) missing from my closet. 

this isn't the most exciting and and trend-filled wish list, but since i'm on the reduced waste/saving money kick i need to be buying things that i can wear more than one season.  what's on your fall wish list?
