Sweet Rewards

Splendid Top, Forever 21 Skirt, H&M Tights, Steve Madden Booties, Rebecca Minkoff Purse, Handmade Necklaces, Michael Kors Watch

One of the best things about L.A. is all of the separate neighborhoods that make the city feel a lot smaller than it really is.  On Saturday we ventured over to Larchmont Village, one of my favorite areas that’s filled with coffee shops, boutiques and plenty of dogs for me to lurch after.  I walked in my shoes for about an hour before my feet started to resemble swollen hooves.  Luckily, we passed by a Crumbs right as I started to break into an awkward limp and promptly rewarded myself with a red velvet cupcake.

I’m really loving the skirt! And I’m glad you’ve been having more outfit posts (or it seems like that to ME anyways, haha).

3 Elena { 02.08.10 at 1:13 am }

The print on the skirt is great. Love the whole black and white look!

4 Annabel { 02.08.10 at 1:15 am }

i love sunny californian weekends! looks like you always have fun during the weekends :D keep the food and outfit posts coming. your food always looks so delish and i do actually take note of the recipes that you alter :)

5 girlontheave { 02.08.10 at 1:15 am }

i like how u’ve paired the printed skirt with a bright neon purse! somehow it looks pulled together without being too matchy…and u look very pretty here:)

6 Melissa { 02.08.10 at 1:15 am }

A white t-shirt and gold accessories = perfection!

7 Phoebebee@hotmail.co.uk { 02.08.10 at 1:21 am }

This is such a pretty outfit! I love the golf watch and simple white tee. Your hair is such a great colour too :)

Thanks for the closeup — I love what you did with your makeup! I never have that much control with liquid eyeliner. >.<

9 Absolutely Not Martha { 02.08.10 at 1:33 am }

we spent 14 seconds in larchmont village when we first moved here–i definitely want to go back and stay a little longer next time! so true about the separate neighborhoods in L.A. making city feel smaller (and more manageable)–seeing familiar faces/neighbors at local stores and around the hood is a good thing.

10 Stella { 02.08.10 at 1:38 am }

Love your outfit! The skirt it is faboulous! Kisss.

11 Leigha { 02.08.10 at 2:04 am }

I have always dreamt of visiting California, but I never can afford it! It seems so lovely there.
I really like the yellow purse, and of course the shoes!

Are you ever not stylish? I love it! :)

Hope you have a good week! come on over to my blog — i miss seeing you there!

30 Kristen { 02.08.10 at 6:54 am }

I own this skirt and always get so many compliments on it! I actually just wore a very similar outfit to a fashion charity event last week-boyfriend blazer, this skirt, tights, peep toe booties and a neon orange clutch! great minds think alike :)

31 Andi { 02.08.10 at 7:10 am }

great skirt…definitely like the tucked in look, too.

32 legalstyle { 02.08.10 at 7:12 am }

LOVE the RM small purse…perfect pop of color! Love this look, too, it’s perfect for spring yet still great when the weather is still chilly. Or in TN’s case…FREEZING!

47 Erin { 02.08.10 at 8:25 am }

a red velvet cupcake is the perfect reward for any situation!

50 miss l's mom { 02.08.10 at 8:33 am }

How do you look that amazing and eat red velvet cupcakes and chocolate honey combs? Please share your diet secrets.

51 maria { 02.08.10 at 8:33 am }

Do you know the name of that Michael Kors watch you’re wearing? There are a few on his website but they look small. I would love to get the one you have, it’s fab!

52 Jacqueline { 02.08.10 at 8:34 am }

53 Keri { 02.08.10 at 8:37 am }

what a fun little adventure. it reminds me of my escapades in greenwich village while sporting 6inch valentino’s. except in my situation, i have to trade your sprinkles for magnolia. Xx

54 amy { 02.08.10 at 8:39 am }

love that skirt! i can’t believe it’s forever 21. maybe i need to dig a little deeper…past the tacky sequins and cheap jersey. that’s my mission for this afternoon!

55 Amanda { 02.08.10 at 8:57 am }

I love your hair! The fact that you walked a whole hour in those shoes is damn impressive. Go you!

56 pia { 02.08.10 at 8:57 am }

love that skirt pattern and your pop of color with that bag :)

57 taylor { 02.08.10 at 9:04 am }

66 Tina { 02.08.10 at 10:35 am }

Shut up – it is THAT warm there?? SO jealous! And how do you get your hair highlighted – do you ask for only the top layers?

67 Bargain Bex { 02.08.10 at 10:35 am }

Cupcakes really do make everything better, don’t they? Even for us ‘beauty is pain’ girly girls! :)

71 Kelsi { 02.08.10 at 10:59 am }

Gorgeous outfit! I wore a very similar one last week- all the shapes are so classic and flattering, and I’m a firm believer in throwing tights on under anything.

72 Aimee { 02.08.10 at 11:00 am }

Love the Rebecca Minkoff bag! Such an unexpected pop of color with your outfit!

I just found your blog today and it pleases very much. will be back!

I was trying to leave a comment in an old entry:
http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/lessons-in-ice-cream/

It seems it won’t work (I can’t do it.. don’t know why), so I’ll be leaving it here:
“:)
And you even took a picture! Now imagine…
a stranger on the street sees you having your ice cream falling to the ground. Then he sees you regretting and imagines you’ll buy another one. BUT BEFORE THAT he sees you taking a picture of the juicy ice on the ground. He might think you’re a funny person.
hehehe”

95 LesCoquettes { 02.08.10 at 5:23 pm }

I am so jealous right now… i wish it would be a bit warmer here, so i could wear my summer outfits ! Anyway, you look amazing !

96 pennyrounds { 02.08.10 at 5:35 pm }

I’m a daily reader, and have always been hesitant about leaving comments because you get so many! (must be tough to be so popular!!) i must have looked at your site at least 5 times today because i adore that skirt! Forever21 is always such a hit or miss, but this skirt is definitely a hit!

97 Nicole Marie { 02.08.10 at 5:55 pm }

mmm i could really use a cupcake right now.
loving your hair!

As sad is it is, I was relieved to hear your feet hurt too! I was beginning to think you might be superhuman :) Of course, my feet hurt after an hour in 2 inch heels, but still! You look beautiful, looks like a lovely weekend!

103 tinypaperheart { 02.08.10 at 7:47 pm }

Fun! I have you (and your blog) to thank for a fabulous weekend in L.A. with a friend I was able to check out the Barney’s sale, Planet Blue in Malibu, and even brunch at Toast on Saturday. (Also picked up a great Splendid top on Robertson :) )

109 Margot Parmenter { 02.08.10 at 9:07 pm }

Hey guys!

Emily, your style is impeccable as always. But I was wondering about the small neighborhoods in LA. I was recently there visiting because I am moving out next year and Larchmont was the only place where I really got that feel of a small community with walkability. Everywhere else was just big and overwhelming and I didn’t get the neighborhood sense – what are the other cool neighborhoods that you would recommend going to?

110 K { 02.08.10 at 10:37 pm }

Loving the skirt!

111 Kate { 02.08.10 at 11:32 pm }

Holy cow that skirt is so freakin’ cute!!

112 georgina { 02.09.10 at 12:00 am }

love the outfit, and i love your flash of fluoro yellow

113 Jackie { 02.09.10 at 4:43 am }

I like your outfit and makeup here, but I have a suggestion! If you filled out your eyebrows it would really complement the aesthetic look of your face.

114 Camila Morais { 02.09.10 at 5:06 am }

Emily, I’ve never seen eyes like yours!
As a cousin of mine says “swimming pool in the face”. You really have a hawaiian ocean in the eyes…
As always, pretty!
Brazil love’s your blog!

you look especially chic in black and white. mind sharing which liquid eyeliner you use? (sorry if you’ve already told us!)

White shirt plus gold…Hmmm I’m taking style notes here :)

118 Shalilac { 02.09.10 at 10:02 pm }

LOVE THIS! Great bag.

122 Corinna { 02.10.10 at 1:21 pm }

your makeup is beautiful in these! i love that you found a F21 skirt that looks so much more expensive than it is. So do you live by Victoria Beckham’s latest quote in glamour regarding the willingness to suffer for the confidence that heels can give you? I am so torn whether I do or not…

123 Chessa! { 02.10.10 at 1:25 pm }

you always look so lovely and natural and happy in your photos:) you’re so genuine and it shines through in every image…
I love this outfit and I can’t wait for spring to wear something other than leggings and boots to keep warm. sigh…
and btw, your hair looks fab. love.

124 Katie { 02.10.10 at 5:09 pm }

Emily, can you please post a “How To” for applying black liquid eyeliner? It’s so hard to get it right. Your eyes look gorgeous!
