We just spent a fun winter-y weekend in Big Bear with friends. All last week the forecast called for lots of snow so we frantically pulled out our warmest clothes and even ordered chains for the car. Well mother nature had slightly different plans. While it wasn’t quite blizzard conditions we arrived to a teeny bit of snow and got about an inch Saturday night. Just enough to make a bunch of Orange County kids happy… and not too much that we froze.
Last week winter decided to make an appearance in Southern California, and it had been so long I’d forgotten what it was like to be cold! Out came the jackets, coats and sweaters as I tried to be as layered as possible. I had back-to-back brunches mid-week, so it was fun to get a little more dressed up than I normally do. But I’m back to basics this week as I catch up on work and prepare for a fun weekend away.
It’s no secret I love a bell sleeve top. But add in some pink velvet, pleats and bows and I’m even more obsessed. This pullover is a fun, but casual, statement piece that’s under $20.
Over the weekend, Jeff, Crosby, and I headed up to Venice for a work event and decided to make the most of our day. We started out here, on the Venice Canals.
By this point in the summer you’re probably being inundated with fall looks, but I’m keeping it real and dressing for the current season. I grabbed this colorful romper while shopping the other day and wanted to wear it in a summer-y way so I paired it with this straw bag and these slides.
