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:)

PASTEL PLAYSUIT

Yet another one of my outfits comprised entirely of old and new favorites! These snake-print Aquazzura heels and Marc Jacobs Trouble bag made countless appearances on this blog before and realistically speaking, will continue to make even more:) Though I am not a fan of matching my shoes and bags, I do love it when they happen to go together and this pair, is what I would call a match made in heaven:) Aside from the fact that they are basically made for each other, the reason I love them so much is because they are a perfect example of those dressed up neutrals I am so fond of. Their ability to complete any pastel ensemble is just astounding... and of course you know how I feel about pieces with special details like lacing, metal chains and straps...

The playsuit is new, I got it just last week and our bond is growing rapidly:)! Love absolutely everything about it, from the prettiest, softest shade of pink, to the uber sophisticated combination of long sleeves and high neck! So chic, yet so fun and playful, I am seriously having trouble wearing anything else:) So far, I've worn it three times, and I have a feeling this is just the beginning:)!
