Chicago, IL, USA
Visiting Millennium Park, Chicago
Here I am in front of the famous Cloud Gate, (also known as "the Bean") in Chicago. Obviously I should've woken up at the crack of dawn if I wanted to take photos without all the tourists. Nevertheless there's something to be said about experiencing Millennium Park with all its hustle and bustle. The weather was positively heavenly so we took a stroll to burn off some calories after our big brunch. Strains from a concert at the nearby band shell lent a dynamic mood. Chicago is a city with a great vibe. The only thing that sucked about my visit was getting pickpocketed in the subway station. But that's a story for another day.
As I mentioned, the weather was perfect during our stay (if you count the occasional flash thunderstorm as perfect, which I do). It was balmy in the sun but could get a bit crispy in the shade. My fair-isle cardigan from Aeropostale was the perfect fall cover-up. I really liked that it added some vibrance to my all-white look.

Sweet Summer

Lightweight whites always feel right in the summer sunshine. My normal response to a peasant-style tunic blouse like this would be to pair with a simple pair of denim shorts, but I decided change things up a little and try it with a skirt. I ended up really liking these two together. I hardly ever find myself at the mall because my patience for flipping through racks is somewhat limited (it's so much easier to do everything from behind a computer screen), but my "hard work" paid off when I found this white skirt at Aeropostale! I had been eying some more expensive versions so it was quite the score. It's such a wearable piece that it's definitely been seeing a lot of action this summer!

It's officially summer now (unofficially, it's been summer all year,) which means #tanktopseason. Personally, I'm partial to flowy ones that allow for maximum airflow. A well-placed cut-out or two doesn't hurt either. This black one from Aeropostale fits the bill and I love the cross-strap detail in the back. To take it a step further, I layered it over this cage-back bralette from their Live Love Dream line. It's technically a sports bra, but it's so pretty and comfortable that I wear it with my normal clothes. Bonus: unlike most bralettes, it has padding!
Aero is currently running a contest on instagram where you can win a Fuji Instax camera. All you have to do is follow @aeropostale and hashtag your summer pictures with #aeroinstasummer to enter. Your pictures could literally be of anything, but think summer! And that's it! Since I've been wanting an Instax for a while, I'm hoping to win one myself. Wish me luck!
Winter on the Way
It's crazy how time flies without the structure of school helping to mark its passage. With the weather being so warm in LA, it's truly felt like an extended summer lately, but suddenly, BAM! It's December and the holidays are here! Since we just had a little three-day rainstorm (not nearly enough rain to put a dent in our drought unfortunately), I finally feel like we're joining the rest of the country as our sad little version of winter starts to "set in." With this parka from Aeropostale, the warmest jacket I own, I feel totally prepared for whatever winter LA is able to conjure up this year. Hoping for a bit of snow like always. It did happen once, like back in the 1920s ;).

Lace on Lace
I've been pretty obsessed with these leopard slip-ons ever since I got them. They remind me of the Vans slip-ons I wore in high school, but like, they are way cooler and so am I now. I wasn't sure how I felt about slip-ons making a come-back all of a sudden, but I think the fact that I've been slipping my feet into these nearly every day this week means I'm officially a proponent of the trend. But I'm definitely not wearing them with jeans and a hoodie like I did in high school. I'm keeping it classy with lace and feminine silhouettes. And a denim jacket just for decoration.
I think today has got to be the warmest Thanksgiving of my life, with it currently being 85 degrees outside! The thought of a turkey roasting in the oven just isn't quite the same when it's so warm out. This is a pretty good outfit for warm weather, what with all the ventilation in the back. However, it is a terrible outfit for eating turkey so I'll be changing into some stretchy pants for dinner. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with all the turkey and Stovetop you can eat!

Brugmansia
Soaring temperatures make me gravitate towards all-white looks, although I don't know how much it really helps to keep me cool. These two pieces fit together as if they were made for each other, and the overall effect reminded me of angel's trumpet flowers. The fit-and-flare silhouette is always fun in my book. So flirty and feminine!

Feelin' Fringy
So spring is finally officially here (although in LA we could say it never really left) and the excitement has got me gravitating towards bright white pieces. I love how this One Teaspoon dress feels like a vintage treasure--something I definitely want to hang on to for the generations. Since I'm definitely feeling festival fever at the moment, I paired the dress with an old teal fringed purse from my college days when my style was decidedly a bit more hippie (that Berkeley spirit!) And this white denim moto from Aeropostale makes the perfect spring jacket!
