east coast, west coast




Outfit Details:
silk leopard print shirt - thrifted
mustard sweater - thrifted
studded belt - from my mom's store, Hourglass Consignment
jacket - courtesy of Coach
jeans - courtesy of Hudson
DKNY boots - borrowed from Samara
faux leather backpack (and my new camera bag) - courtesy of Le Mode Accessories



(my friend Holly)

In the words of Rogue Wave, "Screw California." Sunny Cali has claimed another friend! At this rate, I'm bound to be quite lonesome. Kim recently returned to Los Angeles, and now Holly is also moving back.

We had a cozy lunch at Tea and Sympathy to bid Holly farewell. There's nothing like a pot of tea, a hot casserole and a bowl of custard soaked cake on a cold day, but the circumstances are a bummer. Come on, California. Please stop stealing my friends.

  10. Ah, that leopard print blouse is divine! It add just the right amount of quirk...the hunt for one of my own shall continue.

    I'm sorry about your friends moving away, that's a real bummer. She's really adorable! Oh well, at least you have a place to crash if you decide to pay them a visit!

  13. I'm a Cali girl (but no longer live there), and I can see why people are migrating over there. Quite tragic really, but who can blame them right?

    I'm enamored with all the mustard hues, Holly's boots, and your little rucksack...you both look adorable!

    much love.

  15. Yes! I love your outfit here! I always love what you're wearing, but this feels much closer to my style, so I like it extra special ;)

    Sorry to hear you're losing another friend to Cali....but now it means you have a reason to visit, right?

    California is awesome, if you haven't been.

    I know NYC is definitely rad too, but instead of seeing it as losing a friend, you should consider it gaining an opportunity! ;)

  21. Don't blame California. Kim and I had a lovely day of apartment hunting together recently. We even had a nice little lunch in the rain under an umbrella in Echo Park.

    Point being: LA can be quite lovely, especially when we're all together. GET OUT HERE.

  24. I love DKNY boots are really pretty.

    ReplyDelete

  25. Ugh, I am in the same, sad situation. I'm a native NYer and my two life long best friends moved to San Fran, along with a few others throughout Cali. I end up running out there at least twice a year to visit.

    ReplyDelete

  26. I've been looking for a backpack like this forever. perfect. x

    ReplyDelete

  27. LOVE that mustard - I usually look ill in that colour but I'm going to find a cardi in it :)

    ReplyDelete

  28. I've lived in California my entire life, but up until a few years ago, NYC stole my heart!

  45. Love the fashion!!

    Sorry to hear about your friends... I blogged this quote a few days ago and it seems fitting for you now :)

    "Friends are like stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there!"

    xoxo

    ReplyDelete

  46. I think what I really love about your outfits is the fact that you can not be categorized into a particular style. You wear everything not caring about what type it falls into and make everything look very distinctively you.

    now that's talent.

    Love
