Double Denim

Sweater: Club Monaco, Shirt: Equipment, Jeans: Edun, Belt: J. Crew, Flats: Pour La Victoire, Bag: Foley & Corinna, Sunnies: Chloe, Jewelry: F21, Vintage Gucci, Ettika

 For many moons denim on denim was only something that my dad wore and something that I most certainly would not be caught dead in. These days it's a bit of a different story...a story which now finds me with a stomach full of my own words! And...I am not in the least bit embarrassed to admit that I have been rocking this equipment shirt for the last 3 days straight (I know, ew) but it has now become my "go to" shirt. I'm officially in love. The end.

Layer Inspiration



1. Thakoon   2. Joie   3. Topshop   4. American Vintage   5. Kirna Zabete   6. Topshop

In the spirit of yesterday's post and the fact that I received quite a few inquires/comments stating the love/need for a military-esque top layer, I was inspired to hunt for some cool worthy pieces!
Pairing this style jacket with a light and fun piece is key for me, so I layered it on top of a polka dot printed silk tank to soften the look a bit. An edgy jacket thrown over a feminine blouse is a look that I absolutely adore not only because it looks casual yet chic, but it has a way of providing a good balance between the two styles.

Do you like mixing edgier pieces with flirty and feminine pieces?

Military Love

Jacket: Old Navy (seen here), Top: Club Monaco (seen here), Belt: Vintage YSL, Jeans: Machine, Shoes: Vans (seen here), Bag: Vintage Gucci, Jewelry: Gucci, Ettika, Ecuador Flea Market, Sunnies: H&M

Saturday the hubs and I headed down to the South Bay for one of my nearest and dearest 30th birthdays! Despite the cold front that was happening, it was such a delight to see so many faces that I don't get to see on the reg. I was planning on wearing none other than a maxi, but that plan got scrapped when I realized I would freeze my arse off in a dress. Enter...the always trusted and ever reliable Military jacket. I've had this baby for 6 years and it hasn't done me wrong yet. I think it's pretty safe to say that he's a sure thing...such a rarity these days, right? I kid. I kid. Kinda. 

What's one piece you can't live without?
