I've noticed that I have tried many times in the past to incorporate a colorful spin on my style. However, lately I have come to terms with the fact that I will never look or feel comfortable in loud colors and bold prints. Naturally, there will be a few exceptions. But nothing beats wearing black....or the perfect shade of blue jeans and a white t-shirt. How appropriate for Black Friday...

I'm a minimalist at heart and it's time to stop fighting that. California's laid back vibes have definitely influenced my style. I love mixing minimalism with beachy pieces; it makes me feel like I'm staying true to my roots. But I feel the most comfortable in basics. Moral of the story: The only way I can amp up my basic pieces are with some awesome accessories like this silk neck scarf. I have the biggest crush on it and I want to wear it everyday.

This outfit is an everyday look that you'll probably catch me repeating over and over again; just with different shoes :) Can you believe this belt is from H&M? It's such a great staple at a price that's unbeatable. Most of my clothes are oversized and it definitely comes in handy when I want to cinch my waist. I love wearing it to vamp up my basics. How would you guys style it?

Today's Inspiration

Elin Kling

Elin's minimal look is inspiring me today (and everyday since I'm in love with her..) Who says navy and black don't mix well? This looks so effortless. I love the structure of the coat. It's absolutely perfect for fall; something I'm still waiting on here in LA. I really wish I lived somewhere with seasons so I could layer like this all the time!

Wishlist

Gloves by Acne Studios

ACNE DOES NO WRONG. I always have a hard time looking for gloves. I want them simple, but not too simple because then people will actually know that I'm boring. I think the zipper adds the perfect touch. I love these gloves and I wish I could justify spending $350 on something that I will only use if I get out of California. Tragic. Regardless, they're still on my wishlist!

I Owe You An Explanation....

Dress: The Reformation, Boots: Acne Studios, Jacket: Zara

MY LOOK:

I have been completely off the radar for the past 3 weeks and I'm so sorry for not paying attention to my blog. I had these Swedish boys staying at my house and they were a huge distraction. But they were exactly the distraction I needed and I am so thankful for every minute I got to spend with them. Having friends on the other side of the world is far from easy. I'm far more sad than I can convey over the Internet...But I feel like the luckiest person to even know these incredible people. You guys make me so happy and I will see you again soon...:)

PS...I promise I'll pay more attention to blogging now ;)
