Mirror mirror on the hall

The architecture of the Walt Disney concert hall is spectacular. Just look at these mirrored walls. Its a blogger and photographer’s paradise. (I think there were 5 different shoots along the building for the hour we were there). If only LA traffic wasn’t as grid lock all the time, we would be here more often. The less you have to drive, the better. Especially when you have a screaming baby in the back seat. Thankfully, as Carlota has gotten older she has started to tolerate car rides……most of the time. The problem has now become getting her fastened in her chair. This is now a 5 minute challenge that consists of screaming, arching her back and squirming. I’m sure you other mamas know exactly what I’m talking about.

Today’s outfit is one of my favorites. A silk shirt, skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots; definitely one of my go-to looks. I love the neck scarf and bow tie trend thats been getting a lot of popularity lately. It’s a perfect accessory to transform your casual white shirt and jeans. If you’ve been following my blog you will realize I’m all about having classic pieces in your closet that will last for years and adding “in trend” items to give a fresh outlook. I frankly don’t have the closet space or the finances to constantly be shopping for new clothes weekly. Instead I invest in pieces I know I will wear for years, and try to find the deals on items that I know may only last for a season.

What does your closet consist mostly of Trendy or Classic items? Hope you had a great weekend.

With love,

Andrea

The Oversized Cardigan

I have always been a fan of the oversized cardigan and skinny jeans look. Its a way to dress comfortably without feeling overly frumpy. Keeping the colors dark and monotone gives an added slimming effect.

You can see the baby bump popping out in these two photos, but once you close the cardigan you can barely tell I’m 6 months pregnant.

I love the gold detail on these smoking slippers. I wore a gold necklace to complement the shoes and add some detail to the all black look.

LA Tropical

The weather in Los Angeles has been all over the place. Most days this fall, it has still felt like summer. Thankfully these past few weeks we are starting to get cooler weather. I have been waiting for the crisp weather so that I can wear my plaids and fall layers. Unfortunately I think I will have to wait a little longer as this weeks forecast is in the mid to high 70’s ( 20’s for Celsius). I guess I can’t complain since back home in Toronto there is already snow!!

Todays look is a mix of summer and fall. This equipment shirt definitely has a tropical vibe. To make my outfit more seasonal appropriate I wore dark tones and layers.

I have had this cardigan for years. I love when you find something in the back of your closet and it was just what you were looking for to complete the outfit. Having classic pieces in neutral colors always come in handy.
