Not sure what's been happing with LA weather lately, but it sure feels like it can't make up it's mind:) Just when I think it finally got cool enough to wear all the Fall appropriate outwear, we go right back to sweltering heat. Not that I am complaining or anything, I am the first to admit, I definitely have a hard time letting go of Summer. Happens every year, without exceptions! Normally, I accept the fact that I can no longer wear sandals and sundresses sometime in November or early December. But this year, I've been working hard on embracing the Fall wardrobe a bit earlier:) Yet the warm weather was certainty appreciated yesterday, since Emil and I had a dinner party to attend and I was dying to wear this gorgeous peplum top. Love absolutely everything about it, in fact, I have a hard time deciding what I like the best, the high-low hem, floral print or the dramatic open back. My guess, it's probably all of the above!

Good morning and happy Wednesday to you all! Hope you all had an amazing week so far! Emil and I finally got some down time this week and spent most of it with our friends and family! I wore this outfit to a little dinner party we attended last night, along with a few of our closets friends. It was so amazing to catch up after a few very hectic weeks!!! Don't know about you guys, but I am definitely over the September chaos!:) I wanted to dress up a bit, yet still be comfortable. And lately comfort's been all about cute t-shirts, like this one from Les Femmes Velours. I am completely obsessed with the dramatic white collar and the super soft fabric! How about you guys, what's been on your radar lately?

Good morning and Happy Friday, Everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic week! I just wanted to say a quick hello, and share a few images Emil and I shot in downtown LA yesterday. Now that the heat is finally gone, I am so glad it's cool enough to wear more Fall appropriate pieces, because I was dying to wear and share a few treasures, I recently scored on THE OUTNET.COM. I've been shopping for a great coat for some time now, and after spotting this amazing Marni number I knew I finally found it. A huge fan of Marni's impeccable tailoring, I love the way this coat fits. And of course you know how I feel about color, especially as gorgeous as this scarlet red! My other score, is the rad Alexander Wang cross body bag, I'm wearing in this post. I love Alexander Wang bags in general, but the shape of this particular one, really caught my eye. Aside from being completely obsessed with structured bags lately, I really can't resist one with such interesting details, like metallic textured leather and chunky zippers. So, yeah, it was definitely love at first sight!:) How about you guys, what Fall pieces are you shopping for?
Thank you for reading & Keep On Smiling,

Good morning and happy Monday, Everyone! Emil and I spent the weekend in Vegas, so I wanted to share a few images from our trip. Vegas was amazing as usual, we had such a great time walking around town, catching up with friends and dining out at our favorite restaurants. I can't believe I got to take a pic with Bugs Bunny, who is my favorite cartoon character of all times! Thanks to Emil, who spotted him on Las Vegas Strip, I finally got to have my "What's up doc?" moment:) Guess it's true what they say, in Vegas everything is possible! :)

Good morning and happy Wednesday, Everyone! I hope your week is going well so far! For the most part, it's been kind of crazy since Emil and I got back from Las Vegas. But, we did manage to carve out some time yesterday to do a little shopping in Pasadena. Since I knew, we were going to be walking around quite a bit, I wanted to wear something cute, yet comfortable. So naturally, I went back to my uniform, e.g. jeans, heels and a blazer and of course to my beloved pastel colors:) I knew, I couldn't stay away from those for too long!
This look, is combination of a few favorite items from the new Gap collection, which brings me to the most exciting part! I have the pleasure of attending Gap x InStyle event, taking place tomorrow 7-9pm at the Grove in Los Angeles. And I hope you can join me, for a fun-packed evening of sips, sweets and special discounts! You will also be able to meet Jenn Rogien, a costume designer for HBO's Girls and NETFLIX's Orange is The New Black, and enter for a chance to be one of the 2 lucky winners who will receive Jenn's favorite Gap pieces for Fall! So, I hope to see you there, and please RSVP at gapla@instyle.com

Good morning and happy Monday, Everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Emil and I went to a friend B-Day bash on Sunday, and I thought this was a perfect opportunity to take my new IRIS & INK leather dress out for a spin. A label I discovered just recently, IRIS & INK is a collection of luxurious separates, created by the people at THE OUTNET.COM. Great wardrobe staples are not so easy to find, which is what I love about this line. Edgy, luxurious and colorful, I especially adore the amazing cashmere sweaters and of course the leather separates, which is quite evident from this post:) The label is designed to be mixed and matched with amazing fashion finds on the site. This dress for example, would look great with the beyond beautiful red Marni coat I was wearing in this post and Nicholas Kirkwood gold strappy sandals. I don't know what it is about metallic heels, but I find them completely irresistible!:)Since the B-Day party was somewhat of a formal occasion, I wanted to dress up a bit, so I added a few statement necklaces, a full-on arm party and a pair of gold pumps. Of course it could just as easily work for day-time, paired together with boots and a draped cashmere cardigan. What do you guys think, how would you wear it?

Good morning and happy Wednesday, Everyone! How is your week going so far? It looks like Fall decided to take a step back in LA and we are back to enjoying super warm, sunny weather and I am certainly not complaining! Yesterday, Emil's family and I spent a wonderfully relaxing day exploring the beautiful Getty Center, doing a little bit of shopping and munching on the world's most delicious pizza at a little place we found in Santa Monica! Is there anything better than family time?:)

Happy Sunday, Everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I wore this outfit on a recent trip to Getty Villa in Malibu, one of my favorite places to visit on a nice, sunny day. I've been to the Getty Villa a few times before, but it never seizes to amaze me in the most wonderful way! If you are in LA or thinking of visiting, I suggest you check it out. I am back in my uniform, wearing jeans, heels and a leather jacket. Don't really know what it is about it, but I always gravitate towards this particular combination when the weather starts getting a bit more chilly. How about you guys, what is your Fall go-to outfit?

Good morning and happy Wednesday, Everyone! How is your week going so far? Emil and I spent a few days in San Diego visiting my sister in law. Not sure if I told you before, but she is 3rd year Law student, lives in San Diego and is extremely busy, so we don't get to see her nearly as often as we like! As you can imagine, we miss her terribly! Most of the time she comes to LA to see us, but the past month has been particularly crazy for her, and since we haven't seen her in 3 weeks, we decided to drive up to San Diego for a quick visit! We had the most amazing time exploring the city, hanging out and pigging out at a few of our favorite restaurants! She took us for breakfast at the Cottage in La Jolla, and I got to say, if you guys are in San Diego or planning to visit, you definitely need to check it out! The stuffed french toast is my particular favorite!
Hope you have a wonderful week!

Good morning and happy Friday, Everyone! I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few more pics from a recent San Diego trip. As I mentioned before, Emil and I spent 2 days there visiting my sister in law. I was so happy, we finally got to explore the Balboa Park and Museum because we've heard so much about it! Even more stunning than we anticipated, it was a perfect place to take a stroll on a warm, sunny day! Honestly, every time we visit San Diego, we find a new amazing place to explore!
P.S. I couldn't resist including a pic of the cutest puppy we've met there! How adorable are his yellow sweater & sunnies?!

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying a fantastic Saturday morning! I wanted to do a quick little post about a few of my favorite accessories at the moment. Some of them are old, others, are recent scores from THE OUTNET.COM, like the amazing Nicholas Kirkwood suede booties, for example. You know how I feel about shoes and color blue in general, so for me, it was pretty much a match made in shoe heaven!:) I also found a few beautiful pieces for my ever-expanding jewelry collection. I've been obsessing over Eddie Borgo jewelry ever since I met him at a Neiman Marcus event last year, and these lavender pieces, which sold out in days, were actually my favorite. So, you can imagine how glad I am to finally find them!
P.S. Emil and I are planning a San Francisco trip next week, so I wanted to ask you guys to recommend a few must-see places!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Good morning and happy Monday, Everyone! Hope you all had an amazing weekend! Emil and I took full advantage of the unseasonably worm weather we're enjoying in LA, and spent the day walking around Melrose avenue, doing a little shopping and catching up with our friends. Funny thing, is that I actually got this dress to wear to a big Holiday bash we have coming up in December, but of course when it comes to cute, new dresses I am very weak and simply can't put off wearing them for too long! So, I guess I'll be doing more Holiday dress shopping! Not that I mind very much at all:) In fact, lately it's been all about dresses for me. Mini or maxi, relaxed or fitted, I love how incredibly versatile dresses are! And of course, as with everything else in my wardrobe, when it comes to dresses, I definitely tend to gravitate towards bright colors, bold or graphic prints, and color blocking. Case in point, today's black & white perfection of a dress! I love absolutely everything about it, the fit, the shape and of course the graphic black and white color blocking. It could have been styled in a million different ways, but I wanted to keep this look strictly about black and white, and added just a touch of color with a pair of green mirrored sunnies. Guess I can't stay away from color completely:)
P.S. You can check out my collections of favorite dresses and sunglasses and follow me on eBay here #FollowItFindIt!

Like this wonderful coat { previously seen here }, which happens to be one of my favorites and not just because of the color:) Sure, I love the soft grayish blue, but I also love the length and fit, as well as the double breasted button fastening in contrasting color. So cozy, yet chic at the same time! How about you guys, what do you look for in a perfect coat?

Good morning, Everyone! How is your weekend going so far? I had the please of teaming up with Ted Baker to showcase of few of my favorite pieces from the Fall collection, as well as to spread the love for the StreetWinker campaign, a collaboration between Ted Baker & oh-so-talented Redge Blaker. StreetWinker.com is a mix of fashion and comedy, where you can enjoy video shorts, "winks" { see my favorite wink below}, "Teditorials" and "Fashion Art", you can check it out by clicking here.
For my look, I chose a full, floral printed skirt and a peplum coat. You know how I feel about skirts in general, especially the ones with movement and volume, and this one is definitely an example of both. I call it my happy skirt now! Fun print and fun cut, once you put it on, chances of not twirling around, are pretty much zero to none:)! To maximize the volume, I paired it with a pastel-colored peplum coat. Once again, you know I have a soft spot for pastels, but what attracted me to this coat in the first place is of course the cut. Love how soft and feminine it is! The fact that comes in the prettiest shade of pink, is the icing on the cake!
Hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Good morning and happy Tuesday, Everyone! Hope your week is going great so far! For me, nothing compares to the look of pure joy, excitement, and pleasure on the faces of loved ones when I succeed in finding the perfect gifts for them. Gift giving is extremely important to me, and I think the right gift is always unique, thoughtful, and reflects the personality of both the giver and the recipient. Since my obsession with footwear is pretty well documented, I suppose it’s not really surprising that shoes are my favorite gift of choice. For a serious shoe-addict such as myself, the Neiman Marcus shoe boutique is the perfect destination for gift shopping. It was on one of my recent visits to Neiman Marcus that I discovered Charlotte Olympia’s velvet Kitty slippers—this year’s ultimate gift for the footwear obsessed. Handcrafted in Italy from fine velvet, the whimsical Charlotte Olympia smoking slippers feature a bold gold heel and a gold-stitched cat’s face—one of the brand's signatures, drawing inspiration from the glamour of the 1940s. A fabulous alternative to high heels, this playful and fun slipper is a great day-to-evening style and one of the hottest trends for fall. So, if you are looking for a stylish gift for a fashionista in your life, look no further because the Kitty slippers are absolutely purrr-fect!

Good morning and happy almost weekend, Everyone! Can't believe how quickly this week went by! It started off pretty crazy, but Emil and I managed to carve out some time yesterday to take a stroll around a few of our favorite spots in Pasadena. Not that I don't enjoy being crazy busy:)! I'm a bit of a workaholic, at least according to Emil so, unless I have a million things on my to-do list, I feel like I'm not doing enough:)! But of course, I realize the importance of having some down time. So, the immediate goal is to find a balance between crazy-busy and completely idle. For now, it's a work in progress but I'll keep you posted on my progress:)!
