CAMEL COATED

As far as I'm concerned, accessories make or break an outfit... Ok, maybe not break but they definitely make outfits a little more interesting:)! Take today's look for example, a classic camel and black combo gets a touch of drama thanks to a pair of studded booties and a bright red bandana. Sure, I could have gone with a neutral-hued scarf like brown, cream or gray for example, but I rather like that unexpected pop of red precisely because it takes this look away from the neutral territory and makes it a bit more special:) What do you guys think?

PASTELS & POM POMs

Emil and I spent the weekend in Venice, California, wondering about Abbot Kinney, exploring our favorite shops, eating out and just enjoying the warm weather! Packing for our mini staycation got me thinking about how my favorite basics changed over the years. Though my fondness of high heels will never go away completely, lately, I find myself reaching for a pair of comfy sneakers whenever I put together a casual look. And the same philosophy extends to clothing. Sure, whenever I dress up, tailored, polished and embellished is still what I generally prefer. But on my days off, cozy comfort is what I crave, which believe it or not, is a big chance considering my old casual uniform consisted of jeans, blazers and heels:)

CAMEL COATED

If I had to name 5 obsessions currently living in my closet, the belted Cosette perfection I am wearing in today's post would be right at the top of that list. Aside from the fact that camel coats happen to be a particular weakness of mine, I love how chic and elegant this coat is! Oh and the details... Slits at the sleeves, layered front and belted waist, I love it all! And though camel coats pair with pretty much every color imaginable, for today's look, I went with gray and black, adding a simple cozy turtleneck and over-the-knee boots to keep this look sleek and polished. 

What about you guys, what are you currently obsessing with?
