look book: sunny side up

October 21, 2010



We've been having a lot of rain in LA for the past couple weeks {so atypical}. It normally doesn't get to me since I looove the rain and it's such a rare occurrence that it always seems so special. When the weather is gray and gloomy, though, I can tend to wear a lot of dark colors, so I had to throw on my most cheerful yellow sweater!




sweater Madewell, blouse Banana Republic, skirt and flats J. Crew, purse Coach

On Sunday Matthew and I met up with his cousin Brian and his wife Karrie for brunch in Long Beach. We went to a crepe place so I got a yummy breakfast one..although I was craving nutella and banana soo badly! We talked about weddings, marriage, traveling, and their first baby that's due in January. It was a lot of fun and a nice little escape!

  5. You are such an Anthropologie model. I love the mustard color and the sweet skirt. And I can never decide between a Nutella crepe and a savory crepe. I wish they had mini Nutella crepes as a side dish or something.

  21. Yes tights!! Thank you. Love the ensemble. It's freezing where I'm at and all you fashionistas wear bare legs. This is something I could definitely pull off!

    Plus I was scared to wear them with flats but it looks great. I know, I'm a fashion phobe.
