Earth Tones Outfit At The San Francisco Botanical Garden

outfitszory mory1 Comment

CalvinKleinFlats-5 Wearing earth tones at the SF Botanical garden today! This outfit is super easy and comfortable.

The flats I'm wearing are Calvin Klein. Chic and slick they are my new favorite essential item! I found them at ROSS! ROSS has done miracles for my shoe collection! I almost always leave the store with few pairs! Not every ROSS store has a big shoe wear section. If you are a shoe lover explore ROSS stores in different neighborhoods and find the one that carries the most shoes and restocks often. For me Downtown San Francisco store has the best variety in SF. They have lots of shoe racks that due to the foot traffic on Market street get restocked almost daily!

The denim jacket I'm wearing is a treasure I found on Thread Up for 13 dollars! Oh my, if you have the patience to browse the site you can find amazing low budget finds that will blow your mind:)

I've always been a fan of mixing brands from different price ranges. Looking stylish is not about how much you pay or what label you wear. You can have beautiful, functional wardrobe at a steal price by being a savvy shopper.

Finding the perfect leather jacket within your budget can be your next mini adventure! And remember no matter if you find it at a thrift store, yard sale, Zara, J. Crew or Saks Fifth Avenue they are many ways to make it look stunning.Wearing it with confidence is just one of them!

You've probably seen Paul Smith's pink wall. Big, bright and wonderful - this wall is all over Pinterest and Instagram. It's especially popular among style bloggers and tourists as a back drop for a quick fab photo shoot.

The wall can be found at the Paul Smith store on Melrose Ave. Big and bright it's hard to miss. Few blocks away is another iconic LA wall - Made in LA. Maybe plan to visit both, they are worth it!

Gingham Pattern Mix And Match

outfitszory mory2 Comments

AQUA-Skirt--CharlieCheckPleated-1 Mixing patterns is fun but a lot of people are "scared" or unsure about what really is considered a good "mix-and-match". They are some rules but most of it (for me) is a gut feeling. Basic tips...

If you want to try but don't know where to start begin with replacing your solid color top with a monochromatic pattern in the same color. Play with mixing patterns of different scale. Stay in the same color family. Mixed prints are paired well with neutrals. Most importantly: Have fun!

Today I'm mixing Gingham patterned items! The gorgeous red AQUA Charlie Check Pleated skirt with a flannel button up in black and white.

Toms Flagship Store - Oasis In Venice, LA

outfitszory moryComment

Toms-Flagship-store-abbot-kinney Today I'm blogging from my to-go coffee shop on Abbot Kinney - the TOMS flagship store. It's a peaceful oasis where you can grab coffee and/or shop. This place not only sells shoes and sunglasses - but they also provide a pretty amazing chill/work space. The design is so cool! A lot of wood, knits and picture frames that create a natural homey feel.

High lights of my outfit today: HM Coachella collection top. Why? I found this gem at the male section of the HM store for only $14.95 in XS. What a deal!

Handmade neck piece by Fast Love Designs. Fast Love Designs is a small jewelry line hand made in Colorado, USA.

Pinata District Downtown LA (part 1)

outfitszory mory1 Comment

pinata-district-downtown-laUp until last week I had no idea that the Piñata District in Downtown LA existed. It's a section of downtown LA that has developed as a wholesale hub for piñata and candy. You'll find it nested in the area around East Olympic Boulevard and South Central Avenue.

The Piñata District offers tons of colorful options! Take your time hopping from one shop to the other picking through in search for your perfect piñata.

After carefully studying all the options we had we were ready! Our hearts were set on a watermelon and a pineapple piñatas. The store we shopped at is called Amazing Piñatas and most of the piñatas sell for $12 to $20. The coast is well worth it! Shooting with this kind of prop is tons of fun and almost every shot was perfect.

Btw some store owners specialize in custom piñatas. Unique shapes for bachelorette parties, birthdays and photo shoots.
