Current Obsessions: Kate Moss x Topshop

Kate Moss' newest collaboration with Topshop launches tomorrow April 30th! Her capsule collections usually sell out fast so browse all the looks that will be for sale along with pricing information here or here if you are hoping to grab something. I have two floral pieces from her first launch and have gotten so much wear out of them. My favorites from this new collection are the beaded fringe dress, embroidered smock dress, scallop trimmed camisole and splice skirt maxi dress in white.... Everything will be available to purchase at Topshop, Nordstrom and Net-A-Porter at midnight tonight so be sure to set your alarm! There is also a fun read on Kate's style rules here if interested. XOXO

A few of of my lust list picks for March! I'm loving the new baby size in the Saint Laurent Sac De Jour bag-- a great way to show off a pop of color without being too loud [swooning for the new neon pink]. Also, you have to check out the Melanie Auld spring collection if you haven't yet, it is stunning! I'll have a few purses for sale later today or first thing tomorrow so be sure to check back if you're on the look out for a new bag. XOXO

Current Obsessions

Marchesa Voyage Dress | Melanie Auld Shark Tooth Necklace | La Mer SPF 50 Protecting Fluid | Equipment Leopard Shorts | Gypset Travel + Style Book Duo | Proenza Schouler PS11 Bracelet | J.Crew iPhone5 Case | Dana Rebecca Ring | Suboo One Piece Swimsuit | Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel Pads | K. Jaques Leopard Sandals | Tory Burch Cheek + Lip Tint | Saint Laurent Small Sac Du Jour

Happy Friday! A few favorites that I am loving and lusting over right now:

• The Marchesa Voyage collection on Shopbop is pretty and oh so girly!
• Leopard as a neutral: these K.Jaques sandals would liven up a basic outfit and these silk Equipment shorts are cute and casual.
• Melanie Auld's spring collection coming soon... check her Instagram for a sneak peek! Also loving the new Proenza Schouler leather bracelet and anything by Dana Rebecca.
• Serious about skincare: I am loving these peel pads [have been using them for a little bit now] and am hoping to find an everyday spf that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.
• Tory Burch has a new beauty line, check it out here. This lip and check tint looks great for on the go touch ups.
• Swimwear: I got rid of a lot of older bikinis last season and am dying for a Marysia Swim bikini. I also am intrigued but some of the cute one pieces out there like the Suboo swimsuit pictured above!
• The Saint Laurent Small Sac Du Jour is gorgeous in person and the cross body feature makes it easy to wear day or night... I especially like the orange and cobalt! Check out Damsel in Dior rocking her black beauty here.

Have a great weekend! XOXO

Current Obsessions: Sugar Paper For Target

To say I was excited about the recent Sugar Paper for Target collaboration would be an understatement [view my Instagram pic here]. I have been a huge fan of the company and used them for all of my wedding paper goods, personal stationery and for our first holiday card after we got married and have never been disappointed... the quality of their beautiful letter pressed pieces and their customer service is unbeatable! 

I had to venture to multiple Target locations in order to see all of the products [they were selling quickly and unfortunately not all stores are carrying the line] but was so glad I made the effort. Everything pictured above was under $20, with most products in the $10-$15 range. While hard to beat their original products [loving their new leopard note set and their classic kraft paper calendar], I was pleasantly surprised with how great the quality of this collaboration is for the price point. I plan on keeping a few pieces for myself but made sure to stock up on holiday gifts for friends and family [these would be the perfect stocking stuffers or gift paired with a pack of Le Pen pink pens].

Check this list on Sugar Paper's blog to see if your local Target is carrying the collection. There are a few pieces left on the brand's website but unfortunately most items are already sold out! XOXO

Current Obsessions: Fall Coats + Jackets

Band of Outsiders Tuxedo Jacket | DKNY Leather Jacket | Faith Connexion Jacket | Theory Houndstooth Jacket | Day Birger et Mikkelsen Coat | Etoile Isabel Marant Boucle Jacket | Diane Von Furstenberg Crepe Blazer | Helmut Lang Jersey + Twill Jacket

After a crazy heat wave across the country it seems like the weather is slowly starting to cool down... This time of year always makes me wish I lived on the east coast so I could take advantage of wearing all the amazing coats and outwear that are in stores right now! If I had to narrow it down to four pieces for fall I'd go with a leather number, a look with texture, something in a fun color and an oversized cocoon coat so that all your bases are covered [like the Vince Crop Leather Moto Jacket, Iro Analea Jacket, Elizabeth and James Colton Coat in Lipstick and the J.Crew Stadium Cocoon Coat]. There are also always great deals at Zara and J.Crew that don't break the bank... Shop all my picks below. XOXO

Current Obsessions: Fall Flats + Boots

Blair of Atlantic Pacific | Jenni Kayne D'Orsay Flats in Nude | Zara Pointed Flats in Black | Jenni Kayne D'Orsay Flats in Leopard | Stuart Weitzman 50/50 Boots in Black Napa Leather | Rag + Bone Newbury Booties in Brown | Joie Dalton Suede Booties

It's back to school time and fall looks are already in stores! As I've gotten older, my favorite season to shop for has switched from summer to fall [which is a little hard to do when living in Southern California where it tends to stay hot for most of the year]. Even though the weather doesn't always permit for me to wear these things, I've especially gravitated towards the cozy layers, boots and rich colors that the season has to offer. I'm especially loving the Stuart Weitzman 50/50 boot that Blair is wearing in the above pic [in love with her whole look as usual!]. What's your favorite fall trend? Share with me below or follow my Fall Inspiration board for ideas! XOXO

There are so many cute spring items out right now! I'm kind of loving a mint and cream wardrobe palette [loving this dress too] with a splash of peach on the face [think lips or cheeks]... I would be thrilled to get my hands on the J.Crew necklace and Grace Coddington's memoir [I've heard it's great if your a fellow fashion lover]. Btw, Topshop's LA store at The Grove just opened if you live in the area!

I attempted to teach myself some photoshop basics yesterday and failed miserably... Any suggestions on where to get some tips online to understand the basics would be appreciated! Oh, and for those that asked [via comments and Instagram] I got my nail art done at Buff & Tweeze [thanks for the rec LVL!]. XOXO

Although we might be back up to 80 degrees next week in LA, I'm excited that the weather is slowly starting to cool down and it's finally beginning to feel a little more like fall. I'm loving a neutral color palette of cream, nude, black, and olive paired with a splash of leopard or pop of color like this jeweled Dannijo necklace. Btw, did you know that Nordstrom now carries a small capsule collection of Topshop online and in stores? I picked up this dress last week which is something that will be easy to wear during and post pregnancy. XOXO
