Cupcakes and Cashmere

Paint The Town Red

August 30th, 2012

Parker Blouse, Pinko Jacket, Club Monaco Shorts (similar option here), Vintage Clutch, Elizabeth and James Wedges c/o, Celine Sunglasses

We don’t head downtown very often (mainly because I have a tendency to head the wrong direction on every one-way-street), but we’ve recently started exploring a bit more. The architecture is fantastic and the flourishing food and cocktail scene is reason alone to throw on a date outfit and jump in the car. These leather shorts are one of my most cherished pieces for fall and I was thrilled that the weather stayed mild enough to wear them with a long-sleeved blouse, blazer, and peep-toe wedges.

    Love the outfit. I love the crispness of the vibrant blouse and detailing on the jacket. The shorts give your outfit the right amount of edge but keeps it classy. Love your look as usual:)

    I think it’s hilarious that you put photos taken in the midst of the most generic boring examples of city architecture in a post about the atmosphere and architecture of your city! So reinforcing bad LA stereotypes there!!

    The jacket is sooo covetable. And I love that you weren’t predictable with your shoe-choice. Great style, great post!

    Hey Emily! Your hair always looks amazing. How do you make it look so naturally wavy? My hair ,for the most part, is pretty straight, and I have had a hard time getting those loose waves. Let me know when you find the time, thanks! ~Madison
