Christmas in Los Angeles

There is something about LA and its people. While here I had brunch at Claire's at the Museum - a restaurant attached to the Long Beach Museum of Art where I had fresh squeezed tangerine juice and a Crème Brûlée French Toast. My waitress and I debated for a few minutes on whether the lighting was appropriate for an Insta-worthy selfie.

I walked around Sherman Oaks and stumbled upon Buffalo Exchange, a consignment store where I bought the red sweater I'm wearing above. I met the guy who brought the sweater in, carrying a skateboard with his fair share of tattoos. He complemented my taste in clothes.

If people were weather, then the people I met would definitely be LA weather — crisp. I've always identified more with the East Coast of the US, but this trip put me on the fence.

I know why the caged bird sings

A big thanks to one of the most brilliant writers of our time for providing the title of this post. May Maya Angelou's soul rest in peace.

My dear Aunt Treasure came visiting and treated us to dinner at Red Lobster a couple days ago. I decided to wear my Zara bird print cotton voile shirt that I could not resist when it popped up in stores. A patterned shirt will always be a good addition to your wardrobe. 

Cheers,

Farmer chic

Nope, this is not a blog post on outfits for visiting a farm.

Hi there friend, I hope your summer has been a blast so far! A few days ago, Eddie, a friend of mine, asked how I would style overalls. I recently bought the first pair of overalls I've owned since I was around 2 years old and they've been my absolute favorite piece that I've worn this summer. Overalls are definitely back with a bang, and you'll find them at many fashion-forward retail stores such as Guess, Zara, and Madewell.

I love overalls because you can wear them with practically anything! (Or even nothing if you're Chance the rapper) I've worn them on beach trips with tank tops, out to the movies with a plain t-shirt, or even for lunch with a short sleeved shirt. Mine are from Zara, and I'm wearing a Banana Republic shirt underneath.

Cheers,
J.
