Heatwave Wear
Even though we're into well October now, LA is still experiencing the occasional heatwave. I talk about this often, but global warming is very real, despite what certain politicians may say (Donald Trump may or may not believe that it's a hoax invented by the Chinese). Hot days are the worst time to be a style blogger, because I'd much rather be sitting comfortably in an air-conditioned room than taking pictures outside in the sweltering heat (and I'm sure my beau-tographer really dreads it too although he's too supportive to ever say anything!) I'd love to be shooting fall outfits featuring boots and layers right now but unfortunately it's not always very realistic. When temperatures hit a certain threshold, I really don't want to put much thought into my outfit, hence the simple t-shirt and denim skirt combo for today's look. It was too hot to even deal with my hair and I went extra comfy with my choice of footwear, with my trusty Nike Air Max Thea. I do own quite a few pairs of Nikes but these are my most comfortable and therefore favorite. Comfy feet are happy feet and athleisure is still pretty cool in my book.

Fall For Crop Kick
We're just two days out from the autumn equinox, which means that boot-wearing season is officially upon us. The weather is still pretty warm here in LA, but we have been seeing some overcast skies here and there, which I'm taking as a cue to break out some ankle boots. I just got this pair from Banana Republic, and I'm totally loving the sleek angles. They're filling a hole in my wardrobe that I didn't even know existed--quite a bit more polished than what I am used to. I definitely anticipate that I'll be reaching for these a ton this season. I've been eager to try out the combination of ankle boots with a pair of crop kick jeans, as it's been mostly too warm to do so all summer. Tuck a shirt (a modal tee like this one always feels luxurious, and I am a sucker for a little ruffle action) into the jeans and I am totally feeling this easy outfit formula for fall!

The Culotte Jean
I can't remember a more exciting time in denim than now. I mean, the early aughts when designer denim first became a thing might qualify (we all remember how important those fancy back pockets were right?) Or 2012-2013 when we had jeans in every color of the rainbow (I definitely fell victim to a few too many pairs of those). But I am, at heart, a denim purist, I think. So a pair of true blues with no flashy logos is always infallible. Currently we've got so many different silhouettes to play with that it really feels like you can't go wrong no matter what you pick: culottes, kick flares, high-waists, step hems, mom jeans, straight legs, boyfriend jeans, girlfriend jeans, fringed hems, and everything in between. Even though I still love a great pair of skinnies, they're starting to feel a bit stale with all of the fresher cuts on the scene.
With this in mind, I decided to try out my first pair of culotte jeans. Still kind on on the fence about them...despite being a petite-sized pair, I feel like I need to be taller to pull these off perhaps. Or maybe a fancier pair of shoes would do the trick. What do you gals think?
