These lovelies are available for $195 at annex.

"e-mags"

Lately i've been seeing more and more  'e mags' popping around online. What is so wonderful about them than a regular magazine is that if there is something you want to have, all you have to do is click the item and it sends you to the site to purchase it!  Matchbook magazine feels like a Kate Spade ad come to life.  It's very girly, preppy, cheeky chic. I am not ready for fall fashion at all.  In LA our summers come late, while the rest of the country is pulling on soft warm sweaters in bright colors and their lovely leather boots with a pair of dark wash skinny's tucked in, I will be stuck in a heat wave of epic proportions (which is happening right now >.< ) and wishing it was acceptable to walk around in a bikini. 


We call it Indian summer and it is dreadful, think of thick brown & gray smog skies along with hints of blue and seeing the heat bubbling from the cement/pavement and you will have an idea of what September is like here.                                    


Matchbook is an easy breezy read, like your  best dressed friend tipping you off to her style secrets. Matchbook is free so you can't go wrong by visiting and adding Matchbook to your growing list of favorites.

A Weekend Full Of Weddings

This weekend will be a long interesting weekend not only because it's Labor day weekend but I will be attending two weddings back to back...yes you read that right...one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Now all this wedding stuff is making me think back to my own wedding and how fast time has just flown by, just a few weeks ago I had my first anniversary. So what did I do after thinking about all these weddings you ask? I did what any other girl would do....I took a look back at my wedding pictures. Below are a few of my favorite pictures from that day.

This go around i wanted an outfit that could transition from summer to fall and i think this is it. I already own the jeans and top, but the bright colored scarf makes me swoon and the cute details on the shoes go nicely with the jeans and give the outfit a bit of intrest. I'm in love with the throw over the shoulder bag so much i'm going to see if i can find it at the Nordstrom near me.

Absolutely Mad-Pinterest

I haven't yet seen the show that everyone is talking about for a few seasons now, Mad Men on AMC. One thing that I do know about the show is the fashion! I truly believe that i was born in the wrong era because i'm constantly looking and allured to mid-century modern design and clothing of the late 40's, all of the 50's and early 60's. Yesterday I strolled by and in the window of Banana Republic there was a sign about about "NEW MAD MEN INSPIRED CLOTHING". Of course I had to go in and then i fell in LOVE with it all. oh to win the lotto and buy all the vintage inspired clothing i could buy! below are a few picks from pinterest of the beloved style from the show.
