juicy melon

(skirt-c/o American Apparel, bag-c/o American Apparel, slip-Helmut Lang, jacket-Zara, shoes-Pour La Victoire, necklace-H&M)
Totally enamoured with juicy color pallets and fluttering chiffons, off set by crisp whites.
Even though white is considered a neutral, I find it perfect for brightening up bold tones. It just give everything a jolt of freshness.
These sweet little wedges have been tucked away in my closet, waiting for the prefect sunny day. My 1st day in LA seemed like an appropriate time to try them out.

oh I just can say fabulous

Absolutely Mrs. K said...

again a divine color combination, it looks like watermelon and peach. the skirt is simple phenomenal because of the white underneath it, it gives such a magnificent effect. i love the movement of the skirt. peach color is so difficult to wear and it will have to match your skin tone. what i love the most is the clutch because it turns up the volume, although the skirt is colorful it gets neutralized by the peach, so the clutch definitely turns up the volume. always love nude shoes

Liz, your outfit is perfect! I love the melong colored skirt and the lime colored clutch! I've been meaning to get one of those AA clutches for some time now. So, if I'm not mistaken, you're at Griffith Park?? I love that spot. Such beautiful views of the city! I just came back from a little four day getaway in LA, and I already miss it terribly. My trip down there made me seriously reconsider whether or not I should move back down! I guess for now, I will have to live vicariously through your beautiful blog! :)
