A lunch quickie...

...and a post quickie, because I've been dying to share this look on the blog. This Aldo bag steals my heart time and time again - and I finally put together a look that really does it justice. Normally I'd wear tennis shoes and my baggy army jacket for brunch (b/c food baby), but spring did a number on me.

My Take on Streetstyle.

This jacket photographs even better than it looks - but the angsty teenage girl I saw in H&M the other day would not agree. 

Right as I decided this jacket and I would live happily ever after, the following conversation happened right by my side: 

-MOTHER: How about this jacket? *touches jacket in same color as mine*

-ANGSTY LA TEEN: Ewww that's so gross.

I guess I'm not scoring any fashion points with the city's youth- but to everyone that's ever dealt with strangers' backhanded comments: you do you. Life's too short to worry about anyone else's opinion but your own.

Flounce and Crispness.

Whoa, it's been a while. Actually. I'm not going to pretend this is some sort of comeback. Truth is, I'm not sure when/what my next post will be - but I know this cozy little blog will be here waiting whenever I'm ready.
This past month has been too fast-paced for my liking, but as things fall into place, I have more and more time to enjoy LA's rare sunshine and some lovely, boyfriend seal of approval photography. 
I've been curious about Target's WhoWhatWear collection for some time now, but never quite found the motivation to try on some of the items... until now (and lord knows I can't make a purchase without trying it on beforehand). Last week I was a woman on a mission - namely a mission to pick my number ONE standout item from the entire collection and invest. And yes, when you're a young professional in a big, expensive city, even $35 counts as investing... 
Without further ado, here it is. The dress of my dreams and realities - and I couldn't be happier with it.
