Winsome

Eightfold

eightfold – insta moments everywhere you look thanks to crisp white walls and large windows. Did I mention cool graphic books? Whether you’re a mocha or matcha lover, this stop made number one.

winsome read about my first experience here on the blog.

batavia – U.S. Bank Tower, 633 west 5th St, downtown. If you’re visiting Sky Space, work downtown, or just need refreshment (and really good coffee) this is worth a stop.

dinosaur coffee – 4334 west sunset blvd. (silverlake) kid friendly, outdoor seating, great lighting, and a yummy americano. Bonus: the kids loved the muffins!

urth caffé If you’re a matcha lover, order their blended or iced matcha with boba. A couple sips, and you’re hooked.

intelligentsia 3922 west sunset blvd. (silverlake) I can’t leave this place without getting a “shoefie.” Granada tile makes the vibrant blue tile, and the latte is oh so good. Bring your laptop and stay for work. Love the indoor/outdoor vibes.

honorable mention: COPA VIDA 70 S. Raymond Ave, Pasadena

If you wanna switch up your jean game, why not try flares? Prepare to get tons of compliments and bonus they go with the neutral basics you already have in your closet. Here I styled them with a silky tank, classic trench and black strap heel. I wore this to a recent day date and the layers were completely necessary as it was only  55 degrees and windy! Who knew corduroy was so warm? Nevertheless, loving that it’s warm, gives off a quintessential 70’s vibe and looks like we’ll be seeing more of it.

As for New Years resolutions, mine is to say ‘yes’ to what’s important, be ok with saying ‘no,’ and be fully present where I am. Whether I’m playing on the floor with my kids or creating content for a brand. Making EVERY moment count.

What’s yours?

Ditch your LBD for a blush version a là Ramy Brook. I was recently introduced to Ramy at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood. This NYC based designer uses luxe fabrics and fresh cuts for distinct pieces. As Reid often requests that I wear a dress to our dates, this will definitely be on date night rotation.  Thank you Ramy for making such a fabulous dress that easily works with heels or sneakers. See how I styled another blush look on the blog. Date night, I’m ready!

 THANK YOU to all of you who entered my $500 Nordstrom gift card giveaway!! I am so grateful for your kind comments, faithful readership, and ultimately taking the time to enter. I’m thankful for you! The winner has been notified via email Congrats Lauren Roy! 

 

38 degree mornings in Los Angeles call for LAYERS. Someone stop me, I cannot get enough scarves and fuzzy sweaters. I love how a good OTK boot elevates this look from cozy to chic. For date night, I can easily swap out the blue jeans for a chic black leatherette pant and black sweater. Because nothing says date night like all black and the chicest of accessories. It’s all about choosing wisely and investing accordingly. By the way, it’s 72 hrs, before the $500 Nordstrom giveaway ends, have you entered?

To be honest, when it comes to ponchos, I haven’t always been a fan. They’re either oversized, the wrong print, or miss-styled. However, there are a few worth sharing here. I’m loving this camel print from FRYE, the color block of this TULEROSA poncho and yes I found this one  under $30. And I’m secretly hoping this cooler LA winter sticks around so I can sport this $50 cape too. Our morning started with puff pancakes (see the recipe here), a little Boxing day shopping, then packing for our trip to the mountains. Hope your Monday is wonderful!

Ramp up your basics with a camel coat (3/4 sleeve), and updated heels. I’m loving these slouchy jeans and cashmere sweater both from Vince. I tend to gravitate towards classic pieces, like a stripe top and flattering jeans, because I’ll probably wear them more than I’d like to admit, and they never go out of style. In other words, investment pieces. All of which I plan to wear for the upcoming date night over break. Can’t wait. In the meantime, read about our engagement story HERE. Merry Merry Christmas!

Olive coats are the best combo of military and tailored touch for any outfit of the day. I’m loving this slouchy version as well. Casual look with jeans? Check, Grey sequin dress? Check. Its easy and chic in one look. Still out of ideas? Try this with a denim skirt and boots (now 50% off!). See more olive picks in the below widget. Happy Wednesday!

Sometimes all you need is a pink trench vest to lighten things up. I’m loving this one draped over my almost all black ensemble, perfect with heels or sneakers. While we’re talking trench coats, read all about how I styled this classic trench. Stay tuned for a fun giveaway coming up.
