Living Green

May 7th, 2012

Elizabeth and James Sunglasses, J.Crew Shirt, Zara Blazer, Nixon Watch, Mulberry Bag, Madewell Shorts and Shoes, OPI “A Roll in the Hague” Nail Polish

My first weekend back in L.A. was just what I needed. I had planned on spending the majority of it on my couch, but the weather was so nice that sitting in the dark would have felt kind of pathetic. So instead I went to two Cinco de Mayo parties, hosted a bagel brunch, walked around Venice, saw a movie, and hung out with friends. All of that running around would have been nearly impossible in heels, so I stuck with some variation of oxfords or sandals the whole time.

    The chambray/kelly green combo works stunningly! Also, I’m so glad you’re wearing a polish from OPI’s Holland collection. Gouda Gouda Two Shoes and Wooden Shoe Like to Know are two of my favorite colors this season! Glad you had a restful week.

    Zara makes such great colored blazers! I was in there the other day and found a hot pink one – oh my, I need it ASAP. I love that OPI nail polish with the green and blue. It’s a great color choice. A great comfortable outfit for a relaxing weekend!
