suit up!

Blazer, Zara; Shirt: Gap; Pants: Asos; Suede heels: Charlotte Ronson, via Shopbop; Clutch: Zara

There's something oh so fitting about wearing my pseudo "suit" to work today. After seeing Beth's rendition of the casual day suit, I figured I would try my hand out at it -- after all, I do have an unhealthy amount of blazers and cropped trouser pants (ahem, in many, many colors). Anyone up for an intervention?

summer dreaming

Navy blue cable knit sweater, Forever21, gifted; wool skirt, vintage Christian Dior c/o Market Publique; espadrilles, c/o Sophie Theallet for Nine West; multicolored straw clutch, H&M

What a sweet, summery pair of shoes, no? The lovely folks at Nine West have just recently collaborated with Sophie Theallet (see the collection here) and sent me these espadrilles to style up -- of course, given San Francisco's fickle weather, these will certainly prove handy to summer-ize any outfit, even if it involves a wool skirt like I'm wearing here. Also, I can't wait to sport these while riding my bike to the Mission for some thrift shopping. Yes, I have plans for these shoes. Already!

On a side note -- saw The Kills last night. Has anyone else seen them live? I'm completely blown away by the two of them. Amazing.

sequins/bowling

Sequin shirt, Elizabeth and James; Skinny jeans, Zara; Pointy toe colorblocked heels, Asos; Leather clutch, American Apparel

Am absolutely in love with this shirt -- it has the right amount of drape and weight (yes, those are all sequins!) and looks oddly enough like a bowling shirt from behind.

Yes. It's love.

tangerine dream

white blazer, Zara; tangerine shift dress, Zara; nude heels, Aldo; multicolored clutch, H&M

What can I say -- loving this shade of orange lately!

the graduate

Having recently re-watched "The Graduate" again makes me laugh every time I look at the Bay Bridge now. For all of two epic scenes where Dustin Hoffman is driving in his little red convertible to see Elaine, who is studying in Berkeley, he's driving the wrong way on the bridge -- each time to San Francisco, not to Berkeley. Understandably, they didn't want him driving the correct direction, since it would require him to use the lower, covered portion of the bridge, and hence, less epic.

But still. Now you know.

Use that for your next movie trivia night!
