Simply Stripes

Shirt: Forever 21 | Jeans: Old Navy | Belt: Target | Necklaces: Macy, Etsy (Gifted by Vicki), H&M | Boots: Forever 21 | Glasses: Warby Parker, Tenley

I've been very drawn to stripes lately, and recently, my shop-a-holic self went and searched solely for striped shirts. Surprisingly it's not that easy. I mean the wrong striped shirt can turn you into a costumed mime, or cause perceptional widening, both equally unflattering (and funny).

I've been wearing my glasses almost every day for the past couple months and am starting to believe that I'd like another pair of Warby Parkers - now it's just a matter of which ones! 

Do you have a pair of frames you love from Warby Parker? OR have had a great experience with a different vendor you'd like to recommend (like Bonlook, or Lookmatic?)

If so, I'd love to hear from you!

You Are What Your Bag Eats

Spin Pins - best invention for buns to stay put (hun) | Vaseline Lip Therapy - simply the best moisturizing lip product in my book 

LePen(s) - My favorite fine tip markers | Sour Patch Kids - I have a sugar problem, lets be real here 

The Markings Notebook - my favorite notebook because of how sleek and simple it is | Comb - for the bangs, duh

So, if I am what my [work] bag eats, then that makes me a walking office. A walking office that desperately needs a shoulder massage because of the amount of mobile hoarding I'm doing.

My job requires me to schlep around a number of things besides my own purse and tools to keep me connected, so I have to really put thought into what items I can bring and what purse to use. It also doesn't help that I'm already a hoarder. You know, big girl problems.

I really can't complain though, because I love my job and I'm pretty sure I've got trapezius muscles of steel!
Yep, made a totally uneducated guess on that.

On that note, I've been thinking about purchasing a nice bag that I can carry for formal meetings and events for work. I won't be foolish enough to carry my laptop in one of them (maybe), but definitely want it to fit the iPad and all my other goodies. Here are some of my favorite (and also out of my budget) handbags from Kate Spade New York:

L to R: Cobble Hill Minka | Grove Court Large Maise | Allen Street Britain | Allen Street Raquelle | Mercer Isle Sloan

I've got a bit of a hankering to purchase a backpack - so I'm loving the Allen Street Britain for being great on the back as well as stylish on the arm.

What's your favorite bag for work?

Warm Winter Weekend

Blouse: Charlotte Russe | Pants: Zara | Necklace: Francesca's | Bracelets: Gorjana, H&M | Purse: Forever 21 | Belt: Cotton On | Sandals: Old Navy | Glasses: Warby Parker, Tenley

It was like the Southern California sun couldn't help but make a quick warm appearance this weekend, and so did my toes! It was a nice weekend to explore, so we spent some time in Downtown LA at the MOCA, Grand Central Market (got the best tacos there!), and Spring Street Bar to try some of the 26 beers on tap.

I'm happy it came by, but am more happy that the rain will be here soon, so that I'll get to cozy back up with my hoarded cans of [seasonal] Salted Caramel Chai Tea Latte Mix from Trader Joes, and enjoy what's left of the Winter season :)

Ta-ta,
