LONELY WATER

(Evil Twin Cropped Bralette, H&M Blazer and Jeans, UO and Kontraho Necklaces, Vintage Loafers) 

Hanging out down by the LA river with Steve Gripp last month. Black classics featuring a twist in the form of this cropped bralette by the aussie label Evil Twin. 

PARIS VINTAGE

(Vintage Harley Davidson Tee and Vintage Belt, Ksubi Albuquerque Cutoffs, Steve Maden Lanii Pony Hair Flats, Kontraho 'Prism' Necklace, UO Sunglasses)  

The stifling valley heat and our broken car AC are making for some incredibly trying living conditions in LA at the moment. We have been surviving the heat by hiding out indoors and getting the bulk of our outdoor tasks done in the early morning. This vintage tee and cutoff combo is my go to for hanging around the house and running errands as it is has the perfect sun protection to breatheability ratio (unfortunately this is what my sartorial choices are boiling down to this week). Fingers crossed the weather will cool so I can start living the fall-dream that everyone else in the northern hemisphere has begun to enjoy.  

LAGUNA

(Reformation Jumpsuit, Dotti T-Shirt, Cotton on Chambray Shirt, Zara Spiked Espadrilles and Messenger Bag, Kontraho Necklace, UO Sunglasses.) 

This jumpsuit perfectly complimented my labor day monday spent at Laguna Beach. We spent the afternoon wandering the quaint streets and promenades, having cocktails by the sea and relaxing in the sun i.e. my idea of the ultimate day off. In other news I am realising that my dependance on this bag/sunglasses combo is getting out of control so I will definitely be in the market for a new cross body bag in the near future. Here in Cali it just seems to be getting hotter and hotter and fall seems further away than ever but I can't wait to start layering again! Bring on the winter, I say! I hope everyone had a lovely labor day in the US.

My wisdom tooth extraction from a month ago has come back with a vengeance this week, landing me with a huge infection which has swelled one side of my face like a bowling ball - thank god my hair can cover it. So here is a little snapshot of my relaxing weekend in recovery (in between passing out from the painkillers and the strong antibiotics.)
