DOUBLED UP

The start of September officially marks the first year anniversary of my being based in Los Angeles and it would seem that I am finally coming to terms with dressing like a Southern Californian!

I would say that its typical that I have finally worked out my ultimate LA summer uniform just as it is getting into fall but lets be real; thanks to the brilliant weather here in SOCAL, I am going to be wearing much the same thing for the next few months anyway. Doubled up denim seems perfect for the climate here as well as dealing with my #firstworldproblems - Farmer tan on the left side of my body as a result of driving with the window rolled down (thanks broken car AC for that one.) Cutoffs keep it cool while the button down stops me from burning to a crisp. I've also been loving these sunglasses from Urban Outfitters as they are the perfect lightweight and inexpensive pair to throw into your bag on the way to the beach.

On another note anyone looking for something to do in LA should consider heading to the Getty Centre. Picnic in the gardens + wandering the gallery = a pretty sweet day out.

After a pretty hectic week of work last week this weekend was all about relaxing and catching up with people I haven't seen in what feels like forever along with one shoot downtown on saturday. 

Cue this perfectly lightweight white dress that is oh-so summery and relaxed. I was thoroughly over driving after a long hot friday zipping all over town for castings and running errands, so on saturday I decided to take the metro downtown. There is a little bit of a stigma as far as LA public transport is concerned and it gets quite a bad rap but I always prefer to take it downtown as parking is mission impossible. Needless to say conserving a little modesty was high on the agenda so to dress down this feminine dress, I styled it with a masculine striped shirt knotted about my waist and these sandals that, although oldies, haven't seen much wear as they have been locked in an attic for a couple of years.
