Shorts for the Winter..of course




 socks Target, shoes bakers, purse YSL, shorts Forever 21, shirt Target, ring random store at Westfeild mall










I am pretty late with these shorts because I have worn them with tights, printed tights, knee highs and now with socks and havent posted a blog about them. So here they are for the world to see. I have worn them out with my hubby, casually on a game night I hosted, and Thanksgiving. I want them in every color but these will do for now. You must get a pair.

Its Raining...Trench Coats




I have been wearing my trench coat it seems like all week. Its been raining all day for the past two-three days. My daughter snapped a pic when we were coming home from the mall. It seems like Los Angeles can not function when it rains. So what do you do when it does go to the Trench.





Trench from a random shop on Melrose, fabric for turban from Ethopian soccer game.
My daughter every now and then wants to be apart of the blog so here is what she decided to wear today.

Shirt by Bitten and vest by Gap
