rolling through

(pink button down- J. Crew, sweater-H&M, bag-c/o American Apparel, necklace-c/o Stylesofia, shoes- Forever 21, pants- c/o American Apparel, sunglasses-YSL)
Arrived in Los Angeles! Let the house hunting begin.
I'm already missing SF and my Starbucks friends who always have my coffee order ready, the doorman who always waits to open the door for me after my 100th coffee run, and most of all the smiling faces of everyone at the Chictopia office. Sigh. This is going to take some getting used to.

Staying at my parent's house and living out of a suitcase is going to make this all that much more interesting.
I'm going to have to get creative with whatever it is that I actually packed in my lonely little suitcase. Knowing my packing skillzzz, I'll probably end up with candy bars, a few mismatched tops, and something as useful as an oven mitt.

P.S. Some of you have mentioned your concern that LA might make my style sloppy or lazy. It wont, I promise.

You look so effortlessly chic, and the green clutch with nail lacquer add some nice touches of color. Have fun house hunting in L.A.!

Loooove your outfit!
Toluca Lake (where I live) in North Hollywood is beautiful. It has the cutest little town right by the neighborhood with tons of little shops and cafes. I would suggest you look around here if you don't want to be in the hustle and bustle area (center of Hollywood).

Good luck on finding a house!

This is such a pretty look. I love the subtlety of the neutral tones set against the apple green clutch. Enjoy living out of your suitcase - sometimes it's nice to have fewer choices:-)

Catherine said...

Congrats on the move! The scenery in these photos is gorgeous.

Sometimes the idea of being an adult sends me into intense anxiety and it's just bad. But I have to say, it's really inspiring to me that you majored in psychology (right?) but then pursued a career in fashion. It just makes me a little less stressed that I can end up in something I like and that I won't be stuck.
