    What To Wear

    Wild Pair Lola – a shoe too sexy for its own good…

    Wild Pair Lola Black

    Wild Pair Lola's in Black

    I’m torn. I fell in love with these Giuseppe Zanotti wanabes (which are sold out everywhere) and instantly ordered them from Bakers the other day. Do I love them? Very much so. The problem – I think they might just be too sexy for me. I’ve tried to wear them with various looks the past week (dresses, skirts, leggings) and every time, opted for a different pair of shoes because these looked too sexy (i.e. hootchie) for me to feel comfortable out in. I might as well strut around in clear heels… kidding!

    I keep thinking I could get away with wearing them with leggings or jeans but even then, I think they still scream too much sex appeal to me. So help me out everyone! Take the poll at the bottom of this post, should I keep them or not?

    The husband and I signed up for annual memberships to The Grammy Museum at LA Live a couple of weeks ago. Although I enjoy music, it’s not really something that I’m all that interested in. Blasphemy? For some, I’m sure. My husband on the other hand is actually really into music; he spent most of his youth DJ’ing events and parties. I guess you can say this is where “opposites attract” came into play in our relationship lol. So naturally, this was more for his entertainment than mine. To my surprise, I really enjoyed it! Aside from the plethora of different music history they showcased, they also displayed various outfits and costumes entertainers wore. This included famous costumes worn by Lady Gaga or Katy Perry and gorgeous gowns worn by the likes of Beyoncé and Barbara Streisand.  Unfortunately, no photos were allowed inside 🙁 bummer…

    We were heading to The Getty and as with any museum, lots of walking was anticipated, so I knew comfortable shoes would be a must. It’s very rare that you’ll spot me in flats unless I’m at the gym or throwing on sandals to run to the store (and even then, I prefer heels) so these ShoeDazzle Mulberry wedges were perfect to pair with these flowy skirt like shorts for the occasion. My husband’s friend once made a joke about how I’m known to be fashion before function. Although that can be true most days for me 😉 this look turned out cute and comfy 🙂 Score.

    This bag by my good friend, Jeffrey Lazaro, is another perfect example of function. Its straps can be changed around to be worn as a clutch, shoulder bag or cross-body. It also reminds me that I need to find some cute cognac boots for fall. I absolutely love how cognac leather can bring life to any outfit. The color is so beautifully warm and rich.

    What is it about Lita that makes us so happy? I put them on and  immediately start prancing around our apartment – I love them. I can wear them with anything, even if it doesn’t “go” because that’s what’s so magical about them… They go with everything! I was visiting my parents the other weekend and decided to wear my Lita’s with this adorable Forever21 Boutique romper. My usual routine is going straight for my Mom’s closet when getting ready and it never fails me. I found this sweet faux fur clutch to pair with my look and borrowed her new Skagen watch. I’ve had a white watch on my list of wants for years now but haven’t found one I love enough to fork over the funds for. Her is perfect – beautiful white ceramic, light but still boyfriend watch’ish. Luckily for me, my Mom and I share accessories all the time so now I don’t have to go get one 😉 lol

    On a hunt for a our favorite little macarons, we had brunch as this sweet little bakery cafe. The food and desserts were delicious but unfortunately, they don’t make macarons anymore. Bummer!!

    Jeffrey Campbell Alexa + popKiller = I heart LA

    When I first saw these Jeffrey Campbell Alexa’s, I didn’t really look twice… but for some reason, they stayed on my mind. They remind me of the shoes I wore in elementary school but with a Spice Girl twist. When I went back online te to buy them, they were nearly sold out. The only size left was mine 🙂 meant to be? I think so. Even more exciting was when I went back to the link after check-out to see that they were completely sold out. I got the very. last. pair. YAY!!

    popKiller i love LA racerback tank

    Since moving to LA, my husband and I have made it an effort to be the ultimate tourists. We purchased tons of LA travel books and have been making our way through various locales every weekend. Since we were visiting 2 of the MOCAs in LA, one of which was in Little Tokyo, it was only fitting that I wore my favorite popKiller find. This I heart LA tank that I found in the Japanese boutique a few weeks prior.

    We visited the MOCA near the Walt Disney Music Hall downtown and got to see some “classic” modern art by Jackson Pollock (photo below) and Andy Warhol (which wasn’t allowed to be photographed) but my favorite part? Lemonade at MOCA. This adorable little cafe that happened to have my beloved macarons but on steroids. So yummy. Afterwards, we took the free shuttle over to MOCA in Little Tokyo where they were featuring Art In The Streets at the time – definitely bringing back fond highschool hip-hop memories for both of us. Plus, a Louis bag was even featured there 🙂 that made my designer obsessed heart smile.
