WITH THE BAND


If you happen to follow me on instagram, you may have noticed that Emil and I are the two biggest foodies in the world! A little tradition that began on our very first date, there is absolutely nothing we love more than going to our favorite restaurants or finding new ones to love! I don't know what it is really, but something about sharing a really great meal together always lifts our moods and spirits, and thus, these date-nights are absolutely sacred! No matter how tired or busy we get, we always try to carve out some time to go food exploring together!:)





For this date-night look, we were heading to this really cool new place in Downtown LA which has a relaxed yet altogether sophisticated vibe, so I went with a slightly edgy yet polished look comprised entirely of old and new favorites. To make this outfit extra special and as part of being one of EXPRESS Blogger Ambassadors, I am really excited to get a first look at their new high-end luxury collection, EDITION, that launches today!





The collection includes these super cool leather pants, sheer chiffon blouse and embellished jacket. Though I am completely and totally obsessed with the whole collection in general, mainly due to a phenomenal mix of luxurious fabrics, beautiful quality and attention to detail, what I love about the particular pieces I am wearing in today's post, is how cool yet sophisticated they are. Love the fact that these leather pants are fitted yet have that slightly slouchy factor which makes them that much cooler, or the cheer chiffon blouse that is both sexy and sophisticated and of course the band jacket with it's beautifully embellished details on the front and sleeves! Basically, perfect together or separately, I could just live in these pieces forever! And given my track record, I most certainly will, so be prepared to see them often:)!

LACE UP LOVE

I've been practically living in this lace-up corduroy dress! So comfy and easy, it's became my unofficial off-duty uniform as of lately:) Love absolutely everything about it, from the casual silhouette, to lace up detailing and side pockets! You know me, those happen to be my particular weakness! So good with flats, also love the way it pairs with slouchy flat or over-the-knee boots! For today's look, I went with all black accessories and added just a few gold touches. But if you happen to love color, which I usually do when I'm not going through one of my all-black moments:), it pairs just as well with jewel tones, especially burgundy and emerald! Though to be completely honest with you, I am yet to find something this dress doesn't look good with, and in my book, that is always a good thing!

LITTLE BLACK SHIRTDRESS

BANANA REPUBLIC Monogram poplin shirtdress

I've always been a fan of shirtdresses. There is a certain kind of ease and nonchalant coolness about them. Comfortable and stylish, to me, shirts dresses are a must-have Summer staple to wear day or night. Found this particular one on a recent trip to Banana Republic and fell in love with it the moment I saw it! Aside from the fact that I cannot resist a dress with pockets no matter how hard I try, this one has quite a bit of those special details I always look for. I mean how cute are those ruffle sleeves with tie details! I also love the unexpected color! Most shirtdresses I came across are white. Now, don't get me wrong, I love white dresses but in this particular case, I feel black makes this dress just a tad cooler and edgier, and possibly more appropriate for night:) What do you guys think?

BASICALLY BLACK

I can't remember the last time it was this hot a LA. Can't believe I'm saying it, but I actually long for cooler temperatures. Although I am pretty sure, if I happen to read this sometime next January I'll be giving myself a mental kick in the butt:) So, I ask you to excuse my sad-looking hair and lack of make up, but no amount of product can withstand this heat. Ok, maybe not complete lack of make up, but definitely considerably less than I had on this morning! Water proof eye liner rules!:)

As of lately, this dress has become my constant companion. Made from ultra soft light-weight cotton, it's so comfortable I never want to take it off. Of course, the fact that it's absolutely gorgeous, doesn't hurt either:)



Keep on smiling,
Love,
Annabelle
