Emil and I were running errands all day and I knew I was going to be on me feet a lot, so I decided to wear flats for a change. Not really much of a sacrifice, considering how cute these glitter slippers are. You know me, I like sparkly things! I don't know why, really, but they always cheer me up:) And since the weather has been so sad lately, I felt like I could definitely use some cheering up. 

I don't normally complain about the weather, but I am really not a big fan of those gloomy, rainy and cold days. Who is, right? Well, apparently Emil is a huge fan. While I was complaining about lack of sun, he informed me that this is his favorite type of weather. Go figure, huh? Suppose frizzy hair and running mascara are not really much of a concern for him. Guess we are all different after all... Cause I would trade this for a warm sunny day in a heartbeat! Who's with me? :)

IT'S RAINING RINGS

Yeah, I am definitely having a ring moment... This morning, I finally got to organize my jewelry box and thought it would be nice to show all my favorites at once. What prompted this sudden urge to clean up, you may ask? Well, you see a few days ago, while having breakfast and scrolling down a list of blogs I follow on bloglovin', I came across a few jewelry posts. Beautifully organized jewelry boxes, trees and displays put my overflowing jewelry-storage arrangement to shame. I knew right there and then, something had to change. Oh, and I am planning to do a post about jewelry-storage once I am completely done organizing everything!

By the way, I find that  bloglovin' really is the most convenient way to keep an eye on all the blogs I follow and discover new ones. So definitely check them out, and perhaps even follow me by CLICKING HERE:) 

Most of the rings I am wearing today come with a bit of a background story, which is probably why I am so attached to them. Whether a gift from my mom, or a random purchase on Venice beach while Emil and I were on our very first date, most of these are really little time capsule treasures from special moments in my life...

I also wanted to once again wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you got to spend the day with the people you love! Emil and I spent Thanksgiving with his parents, stuffing our faces with the most delicious treats, his mom's cooking is so amazing! We snapped these pics right before we headed over their house for dinner. And it was a good thing we did, cause neither Emil nor I were able to lift our butts off the couch after that meal:) I think I actually fell asleep at some point, hopefully I didn't snore:) I don't remember the last time I ate this much... Totally worth it, though!

MOTO RED

As I have mentioned before navy is definitely one of my favorite colors at the moment. And since I am a complete and total shoeaholic, finding a pair of perfect navy pumps was right at the top of my shopping list. In theory, what could be simpler, right? But in actuality it took me some time to find exactly what I was looking for. If you read my blog on regular basis, you know I am not a big fan of plain shoes, most of the time I look for interesting details. So, when I spotted this cute pair from Sole Society, I knew I found my perfect navy pumps. I mean, how cute are the oversized bows on the side?!!!! This was also my very first time ordering from Sole Society, and I have to say that I am super impressed with the quality of their shoes and great prices. Made from super soft, buttery genuine suede, they are really comfortable to walk in. So, the fact that this pair is not one of my so called “sitting shoes” is definitely icing on the cake:)!

NATURALLY NAVY

Reid Queen Street courier satchel via Plia Designs | Zara coat with applique sleeves | Free People Rocker vegan leather cropped skinny pants | We The Free faded stripe tee | J Crew Everly cap toe t-strap pumps { different colors here & here } | Emporio Armani chronograph stainless steel and white silicone watch | J Crew cobalt bracelet { similar option here } | Ever Eden armor finger ring with chains via Glamboutique 

I am definitely going through a navy phase. Lately, I feel like I simply can't resist buying everything imaginable from clothing to accessories in my favorite color of the moment. Great alternative to black, I think navy is such an easy color to wear and works well with just about anything. 

But today's post is all about current favorites. From this Zara coat, which I've been drooling over for some time now. I mean embellished sleeves, ummm..... yes, please! To this super cool Plia Designs black and navy satchel, small bags are great in theory, but I need a bag that fits all my junk. No really, I carry everything with me, I feel absolutely naked without it:) And last but not least my favorite hot pink J Crew heels, I love bright colors and this shade of pink is my particular weakness. I just cannot help but smile every time I put them on!

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!  I hope you have a wonderful day with your loved ones!

MIRROR MIRROR...

Alice + Olivia Odell mirrored wedge pumps  { other sizes here }

I pretty much gave up on finding a pair of metallic shoes until I spotted these gorgeous Alice + Olivia Odell mirrored wedge pumps. You see, most metallic pumps I came across were simply too formal to wear every day but I was looking for something I can pair with dresses but also jeans or leather pants. So, the moment I laid my eyes on these beauties, I knew I finally found exactly what I was looking for. Waiting for 3 whole days until they arrived seemed like an eternity... Suppose, that's one of the down sides of internet shopping - no instant gratification:) But as they say good things are worth waiting for, and these were definitely worth the wait!

EL MATADOR - A DAY AT THE BEACH

One of the things I like best about California, is that just when you think you've seen everything and been everywhere, you discover a completely new spot unlike anything you've ever experienced. Most of the time, when Emil and I go to Malibu, we head on over to one of our regular spots, but a few weeks ago a friend recommended El Matador beach and since we felt like trying something new we decided to give it a shot. Much less crowded and much more secluded than most beaches around Malibu, we fell in love with El Matador from the first moment we saw it! We stayed for 2 entire days, doing nothing more than swimming, boogie boarding and working on our tans. Getting our buts back to the city and reality was certainly a very rude awakening:) Don't you sometimes wish Summer lasted for ever...?
