BE IN PEACE, NOT IN PIECES.

As we approach mid-summer, I can't help but soak in all the sunshine, buy out all the farmer's markets, live outside, and smile unconditionally. This is the bliss I've been waiting for. This is the time of year that inspires me, teaches me, and makes me a better person.
Unfortunate that this all had to come to an end one fall day, so soak it up, and smile.

BEVERLY HILLS: 90210

Another beautiful day in Los Angeles: complete! 

We started the morning at Urth Caffe, which I knew would be amazing but wasn't sure if it was worth the hype. Let me assure you, it is definitely worth the hype. I don't think I've ever had a better breakfast, and that says a lot coming from a breakfast connoisseur like myself (get a granola bowl or the banana nut oatmeal and a boba).

We then went on a walk down Rodeo drive and ended up at Sprinkles, which I certainly didn't mind. The european architecture and overall feel of Rodeo drive was beautiful, and we did indeed see a million-dollar car as rightfully expected.

We drove back to Santa Monica and shopped around at Buffalo Exchange, and then had dinner at Whole Foods (again...)

I chose a monochromatic combination of a silk cami and skirt to purposefully match the elegance of Beverly Hills, and matched it with a sea foam green cardigan for contrast and warmth.

REBECCA MINKOFF

Hi. I like shopping.

Accurate introduction, don't you think?

I went to go get my (garbage) phone replaced today at a mall, and I came out with a new purse.. true story.

Ah, the Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip. I remember being in awe of this bag like 3 years ago, when I also fainted at the thought of spending that much money on a purse. Now that I realize designers are asking for more than $10,000 for a bag (why oh why Hermès Birkin must you cost the amount people in the olden days bought houses?), Rebecca Minkoff bags are quite inexpensive in comparison! 

I saw it hanging on a mannequin today in Aritzia, and it was on sale! Aw ya! It was the same amount that it costs to get it in the states, so I thought it was a good enough deal! 

The size is absolutely perfect, and I love how it makes any outfit look instantly more chic. 

You can find the Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip online too, if you were thinking of purchasing it. I'm kind of bummed because you can find it for such a better price online, and there's always sales and coupons!

See you guys later!

CLOVER CANYON.

Hi, I'm Sonya Esman and I'm obsessed with silk.

I found these shorts the other day, and it was like love at first sight. They were the last pair left not only in the store, but in the country... I made them call to check (The last pair left was a medium, so I wanted to see if there were smaller sizes available cause these are a little baggy). When I put them on the size issues could definitely be worked around because they were stunning. The brand Clover Canyon was created relatively recently in California, and the whole line consists of youthful patterns on basic materials. I did some research about the brand after I bought these shorts, and it's safe to say they are definitely a designer worth keeping your eye out for, because they're going to be huge soon! These exact shorts are for sale at Saks right now if you want to check them out, but their whole collection can be found on their website. 

What do you think? 

Love the blazer! 

H&M TREND JEANS & WILFRED

Happy monday lovelies!
As promised, I'm going to share some of the things I got yesterday, and I'll show you guys the rest later.
The top is from an amazing Canadian designer named Wilfred, which is sold in Aritzia stores (that are now located in New York City too)! Wilfred is definitely one of my favorite designers because of the feminine design, quality and neat sewing, and of course, my absolute favorite thing is that they use silk in their designs all the time. Like real, 100% silk! None of that rayon or satin crap (Forever 21 anyone?)
Aritzia is having a sale right now on pretty much everything in store, so I would definitely suggest going by if you're in Canada. The shirt used to be $60, but I got it for $48- which is not too shabby considering how flawless it is!

Also, I went by H&M to check out what new stuff they had, and when I found these jeans... I died. My heart froze. They were actually being sold. I was actually looking at them. And they had my size.. what is this magical sequence of fortunate events?
I found these jeans on Andy's or stylescrapbook's blog and I assumed that these were given to super cool bloggers only and then were going on sale for like a day in the fall. Au contraire! There is a whole new collection of gorgeous stuff from H&M, featuring all my favorites: Silk shorts, velvet tank tops, and of course, pearl and gem cuff jeans! Perfection!

Here's the outfit I wore today, and let's move past the fact that these shorts are 10,000 sizes too big for me. That's just what happens when you really like shopping at vintage stores for shorts but they don't feel the same way.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for some other new purchases! Just a hint: it rhymes with milk but doesn't make my stomach hurt for a week.
