Cupcakes and Cashmere

Petaled Pink

April 18th, 2011

H&M Blazer, Planet Blue Top, Vince Shorts, Philosophy Platforms, Mulberry Bag

I found this cream-colored blazer a couple of weeks back and completely underestimated its versatility. It’s so sheer that I usually forget it’s on, which is perfect for the hot, yet slightly fickle, L.A. weather. We got to the beach yesterday and within a matter of minutes, the sky had gone from a brilliant blue to a hazed over fog. I was the only one with any semblance of an additional layer, but it still wasn’t enough to fulfill our intentions of eating ice cream by the pier (we opted for coffee in the car instead).

    haha yes, I was out there yesterday too (for soccer though). It was so hot and sunny when we were playing, but after the game, when we stopped at a friend’s match to see the end of the game, it was FREEZING. And, of course, we were just in tank tops and shorts at that point.

    the weather is also fickle up here in Moss Beach, just north of Half Moon Bay. the fog likes to appear just as I am enjoying the sunshine. and today the rain has taken over. I long for my California sunshine!

    I didn’t really know that beach chic existed until right now!! Leave it to you to make it happen…I love how the individual pieces are so elegant and detailed (down to the pink nail polish!) but they come together to make a really comfortable, relaxed look. Love love love it!!

    I. WANT. THAT. BLAZER. I wear lightweight cardigans throughout the year and that would be a perfect way to switch it up. The scalloped edges make it sooo feminine! You have the greatest finds!
