The Minimalist

Dear Diary,

Friday was a lovely day for me. I was invited to the Topshop showroom out here in L.A, and what better way to show my appreciation than to be wearing pieces from the brand? I purchased this top from the Topshop for Opening Ceremony  2012 Olympic collaboration, on my visit to London. The top has a boxy cut, with middle seams that give it a very clean finish. To keep the minimal silhouette going, I wore it with a pair of white wide leg pants that have crease lines pressed into the center of them.

Takeover Thursday – Ombre Faux

Dear Diary,

I have sooo been slipping on my Takeover Thursday posts, please forgive me.  Today’s outfit is based on an ombre outerwear, that I chose to pair up with a black on black ensemble, and a pop of color. If you follow me on instagram, then you have probably seen this set on my page, but I of course couldn’t forget about my blog familia!

Bouchon Bistro

Dear Diary,

My cousin Natasha arranged for a long layover in L.A to spend the day with my sister and I. Natasha is a food lover like me, so I can’t say I was surprised she picked a mouth watering location to have brunch.

The Main Event

Dear Diary,

 In my last post, I mentioned attending a wedding in Paris. The bride looked flawless! Her vintage glam dress with the mermaid silhouette were to die for. And who could forget the cathedral veil? The attention to detail in the decor was simply impeccable. Loadz of food, champagne, and amazing people from different parts of the globe!

The bride being walked down the aisle by her brothers. It was the cutest thing!

The Brocade Suit

Dear Diary,

 I was on a mission to find a bright colored pant suit for a wedding in Paris. I searched high and low, and decided to make h&m my final stop. What did I  find when I walked into the store? An insane brocade suit with metallic shimmer…SWOON. It was way better than the spring/summer bright I was yearning for. Of all the places I would get lucky, who would have thought it would be h&m? Elizabeth and James has a brocade peplum and pant set in their fall RTW for $800. Mine totaled $100. Quite a steal, if you ask me.
