DENIM DAYS - #FALLFORJBRAND

Even though, technically speaking Summer is long way from being over in LA, lately, I've been obsessively stocking up on my Fall essentials. These super awesome J Brand jeans are one of my latest finds. Since it's kind of hard to find jeans that fit well if you are tall and love to wear high heels, I can always count on J Brand to make a pair that fits perfectly! One of the reasons this pair fits so well, is because it's made from Photo Ready denim fabric, which slims and contours in all the right places, something that is definitely much appreciated:)

In fact, since they come in a variety of washes, I appreciate it so much, I'm thinking of getting another pair or two:) How about you guys, have you started shopping for Fall yet?


P.S. Don't forget to join me for a tweetchat on September 18 at 2:00 pm PST, for a chance to win 2 tickets to Sensation at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, valued at $250.00 each!

BACK TO BIG SUR FOR MY B-DAY

Wanted to share a few images from a B-Day trip my family and I took. Emil and I've been to Big Sur and San Simeon before { see pics here }, and fell in love with the gorgeous coastline and breathtaking views. So, when it came to planning what to do for my Birthday, we couldn't think of a better place to go! Wish I could post all the amazing pics we took, but I think, I would run out of space on this blog:) But I hope, the above images, give you some idea of how beautiful Big Sur and San Simeon really are. So, if you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it!  

P.S. My mom is completely camera shy, just like Emil, but I did manage to convince my brother to take a pic with me:) Can you believe how tall and handsome he is! I'm wearing pretty high heels and he is still towering over me! So much for little brother bid, huh?:)

HELLO MOTO

Suppose by now, it's pretty obvious cobalt is one of my favorite colors, if not the favorite color. Something about this vibrant shade of blue makes me want to wear it over and over again, few recent examples { here, here & here }. And black, white & cobalt color-combo happens to be my particular weakness:) But then of course this outfit is a combination of  lot of my favorites... I mean, you know how I feel about structured & tailored pieces, like this coolest-ever slit sleeve, leather trimmed silk cape. Super versatile, I'm also thinking of pairing it with leather shorts or tailored mini skirts. So, I guess it's pretty fair to say, this cape will be making quite a few appearances on my blog:)

P.S. Today is the last day to enter BonLook INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY to win 5 pairs of sunglasses, including the ones I'm wearing in this post! So, CLICK HERE to enter if you haven't already done so:)

NEW HAIR & KINDA CASUAL

I've been thinking about chopping off my hair for some time now. Initially, I wanted to go super short, like Karlie Kloss short, but once I got to the salon I realized I wasn't ready to give up my long hair just yet. So, I went with a medium length and I am definitely happy with the way it turned out! Much easier to style, it looks and feels healthier and slicker, I think.

And who knows, I may just go super short eventually but for now, I like being able to wear a ponytail or do my favorite side-braid. What do you guys think? Long and wavy or shorter and straight?

SEQUINS & SPOTS: VIVALUXURY FOR JOIE

Hey Everyone! I'm sure by now you all know what a huge Joie fan I am, based on the countless appearances it made on my blog ( see a few posts here, here & here ), which is why I am beyond excited to partner with them to showcase their new denim collection. If you read my blog on regular basis, you know that quality, craftsmanship and fit are extremely important to me, which is what attracted me to Joie in the first place. And I am happy to say that their new denim line is no exception! Made from super soft, thick denim, the "So Real Skinny" jeans have just the right amount of stretch to fit perfectly in all the right places, not to mention the fact they retain their shape throughout the day!

So, no saggy knees or bum, my personal pet peeve:) I also have a weakness for special little details, and cool-looking pockets and zippers in combination with fit and quality, definitely make them one of my favorite pairs of jeans ever!
