Dressing for the Holidays

Happy weekend everyone! This weekend is starting off really great so far. I finally found this hat that I bought last year...it's amazing what happens when you clean your room! I'm obsessed with it. I'm also obsessed with this color combo lately. It's a simple way to transition from my usual black ensemble. This skirt from Bishop + Young is the perfect wine red shade. I can wear it to my holiday parties! 

If you're in the LA area and are looking to score some amazing deals, head over to the Tokotoko Pop up sample sale tomorrow! It features great brands like Bishop + Young, Lucy Paris, Maison de Morgana, and a BUNCH more! It's Dec. 5 & 6 (Saturday & Sunday) from 11am-5pm.

August Getty x David LaChapelle 'Thread Of Man'

     Last Wednesday, I was fortunate enough to attend the August Getty "Thread of Man" art installation at Universal Studios. Getty collaborated with famed photographer David LaChapelle to take over the back lot of Universal and bring a beautiful vision to life.

     The models clothed in shades of nude stole the show with their blank stares and dazed motion. Getty and LaChapelle took everyone through a journey "from Hell to Heaven" and ended the installation with a gospel choir. Everyone crowded around the choir and sang along to tunes like "Oh, Happy Day" and "Man In The Mirror." It was such an organic way to end the night on a happy note. Everyone I walked passed was having the same conversation about how great the show was. Well done, boys! Glad to be apart of a great night!

Part 1: Dublin, Galway, London

In case you missed it, I have finally returned home to LA after 15 weeks of traveling around Europe. This is only a small fraction of the photos I took while adventuring but they are some of my favorites. I left them unedited because I thought the raw products were beautiful just as they are. If you've been following my blog for awhile you should know that this is not my first trip around Europe, but this time was so special to me in a way that differs from the others. Some places were completely new to me and some places were familiar; but they were all equally appreciated and absolutely stunning. I spent half of the time traveling with my wonderful best friend (the perfect travel companion by the way) and the other half was spent in Sweden with some of the greatest people on the planet. I'm in a completely different place in my life as compared to the last time I visited. I learned a lot about myself and my independence; but I also learned about the strength of the wonderful relationships I have with people all around the world. I frequently updated my Instagram while I was traveling around but once I got to Sweden, I focused my time on the people I hadn't seen in months (which is why I've been absent from blogging for a little!). It was so refreshing to be with my Swedes again. I'm one lucky girl!

I have more images to post from the trip, and expect a lot more outfit posts! Missed you guys :)
