Always walk out of American Apparel feeling like I hit the jackpot! The prices are so good and they have basics for days. This choker top was the bait, but I ended up leaving with a bunch of other stuff that I'll eventually need. Oh and they make disco tanks now! Picked up a few of those. xo

Tucked

Know I'm always writing about finding great sales, blah blah blah, but I picked up this jacket from SSENSE last month for a such a silly price. Hook, line, and sinker every time. Livin' for June and December (and eBay). xo

One Three

I've been on a crop top bender for at least a year now, at least. Layered this crop from AA underneath a jacket for dinner and then a little disco afterwards. Favorite combination for nights like last Saturday. Pulled my trapeze out of hibernation for the first time in way too long. Smaller bags have always made more sense since I really don't carry that much stuff with me. Larger bags have always been more of a statement piece versus actually stuffing them to capacity. Phony bologna handbag behavior — Guilty.

More Black

Monochromatic black has pretty much been my uniform for the last five days. Sitting here in a black maxi dress as I type this post. I ransacked my closet earlier this week pulling out all my favorite black pieces and found this little gem from Goodnight Macaroon. I wore it with a very reliable mock neck top from American Apparel and Balenciaga fall staples. 

Enjoy your Friday!

TGIF! What a long week! Any plans for this weekend? At the beginning of spring, I logged in my journal that I would start taking at least one road trip a month through the end of summer. Destination always unknown. Out of the last two road trips we've taken, we always stop in Santa Monica and never leave, lol, which is only about 135 miles north of me. Tomorrow morning, the goal would be to just pass through Santa Monica without stopping, no promises, but we're going to make a concerted effort in exploring new territory. Such creatures of habit. 

Happy Friday! 

Carol

Broke in these new Carol sandals yesterday while exploring Comic-Con for a majority of my Saturday. Initially, I found these sandals rather unaesthetically pleasing, and I didn't even give them a chance until I found them on sale at Neiman's a few weeks ago in San Francisco. The price was insanely good, so they made it to the "try on" pile with the other seven pairs from the last call rack. Once they were on my feet, I was shocked at how much I actually loved them. I light heartedly teased a buddy for owning these, so needless to say, I felt like a total hypocrite for checking out with not just one, but two pairs of these sandals. 

Happy Monday!

Black

Despite the fact that I woke up chipper and on the right side of the bed today, my dark styling choices would probably lead you to believe otherwise. Technically, I am wearing a little white, lol. I ordered these trousers from Shopbop a few weeks back for an insanely low price. Major score. And just when I thought my dot obsession was coming to a halt, I stumbled across this blazer from Joie. Thinking I'm definitely fulfilled in the dot department now.

Happy Wednesday!

Cropped

(Sunglasses - Celine, Blazer - Alexander Wang, Cropped Turtleneck - American Apparel, Pants - Cameo, Bag - Givenchy, Pumps - Christian Louboutin)

It was love at first sight when I set eyes on this pair of high waisted bagginess from Cameo. I immediately mentally styled them into at least three different possibilities, with the above being my favorite. The high and baggy silhouette also inspired the midriff trend a little earlier than I expected. I'm definitely down with this trend, and when it warms up a little more, who knows, maybe I'll bare sans the blazer. 

Hope your Wednesday's a rad one! 

Boyfriend Cozy

(Sunglasses - Celine, Sweater - American Apparel, Bag - Yves Saint Laurent,

I have officially discovered the best boyfriend jeans on the planet, and they're from Asos, and you all need a pair, I promise. I own many pairs, but they've all been on a wham bam thank you ma'am basis, until I discovered this amazing find. I wore them with my new AA sweater (which I need in black now, too, shocker, I know) and my favorite black accessories for a little schlepping around errand running kind of day. I couldn't have been any more cozy. Even in my PJ's. 

Hope your week's off to a great start!

Blue Sky

(Beanie - American Apparel, Free People Sweater, Denim - One Teaspoon)

I spent Thanksgiving eating and frolicking on the beach with my love. There's something refreshing about bundling up on the beach barefoot in 60 degree weather whilst breathing in chilly air and walking on cool sand. I spent the rest of my evening plotting my next Net-A-Porter purchase knowing that their end of the season sale would start today. Much to my dismay, none of my picks went on sale. Boohoo. 

You can shop their end of the season sale here.
