Last Day of Summer

Happy Monday!!

It's nearly the Autumnal Equinox! I can't believe it's almost that time again (mostly because there has been a heatwave in LA) but Fall is my favorite time of year! Although it will be totally different for me this year, living in SoCal. I'm still going to indulge in pumpkin flavored everything and listen to my Fall playlists (lots of Simon & Garfunkel) and maybe invest in one of those weird Yankee Candles that smell like dead leaves. Yet, part of me is really excited that Summer doesn't feel like it's ending, Yesterday I went jet skiing and I can't stop eating ice cream, and every time I walk down the street I feel like I'm melting. It's hard to believe the seasons are changing!

These photos were taken back in early August by the lovely Luke who shot the incredible images in my Into the Swing of Things post. I love shooting with Luke, it's so much fun...he always has really beautiful ideas, and he works fast! We went to the Santa Monica Pier at sunset and I decided to wear something that would work for daytime but could also be warm enough for those cooler beach nights. These Brandy Melville Alexah Pants are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn, and I'm absolutely obsessed with the high-waist/wide-leg/all over rose print! To keep cooler during the day I decided to wear this black bralette from Urban Outfitters and threw on this denim shirt from H&M for when the sun disappeared.

I hope you're all enjoying your last day of Summer! Check out Luke's photography here! And if you love his images, like his Facebook page.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Feeling Pink

Hey there!

This past week my best friend in the entire world came to visit me in LA. She's back in NYC now and I already miss the hell out of her! But I'm happy she was able to stay for as long as she did and we were able to do some really fun things and explore Los Angeles together. There's really nothing like having your best friend visit...it's like home away from home. We decided to hit up Melrose Ave to do some browsing one day and I couldn't resist taking pictures in front of Paul Smiths vibrant pink wall.

LA has been SO unbearably hot and humid lately so I decided to wear this comfortable and breezy outfit. My top is from Brandy Melville (like I've mentioned in my last post, I cannot get enough of their clothes). It's long sleeves but incredibly light...the perfect knit for summer and piece for transitioning into fall. Finished off off this monochrome look with these crochet shorts I bought a few years back at Buffalo Exchange.
