So exciting!

Still Life (still alive)

stilbym stilbym stilbym

Happy 2014 everyone! I hope it is not too late to say that...

I am just going to tell you that I have been sleeping in for all of January and just woke up because that sounds kind of lovely, doesn't it?

I am still in Los Angeles with J, escaping the bitter coldness of winter.
While I do miss snow and all of that I am not going to lie and pretend that I do not enjoy the sunshine and warm weather. J and I like to work in this room. During the daytime we open the doors (er, not pictured) to the back porch and let the breeze in and occasionally we will watch the far too many feral cats of Hancock Park wandering back and forth J's backyard.

Either way, I hope everyone has been having a wonderful January!

Acne Rue Mohair Sweater and Anine Bing Bohemian Linen Skirt

For Christmas the main thing that I wanted was a new sweater from Acne. I chose their Rue mohair sweater in 'Dove White'. It is similar to their Wham sweater in grey melange, which I got last Christmas but I love their sweaters so much that I don't mind. They are the epitome of cozy and I love the way they are cut. The only downside is that moths find them just as appealing and if you forget to put them in a storage bag (or apparently the freezer, thank you Leith Clark for that tip) over the summer you might find holes in them...lesson learned.

Either way, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas or whatever you did yesterday!

Gap Moto Coat

Sweater and Coat : Gap // Shoes : Converse // Bag and Scarf : Hermes // Leopard Print Scarf : H&M //

Despite what most people assume, Los Angeles does get chilly during the winter and I find that a sweater and a jacket are usually necessary. With this in mind, I picked up this grey, wool moto style, cocoon shaped coat with leather detailing from Gap before I left for LA and I am quite happy with it. It is minimal and even though it is cocoon shaped it still tailored enough to pull an outfit together in just the right way.

Christmas in Los Angeles

Christmas Swim by Slim Aarons

This year I will be celebrating Christmas here in Los Angeles with J. For me this has been a little difficult, as Christmas is my favorite holiday and this will be my first time celebrating it away from my family (not being with my family is truly the hardest part). What makes this all the more difficult is that J's family does not actually celebrate Christmas so I am kind of alone with the whole Christmas spirit thing.

Still, I have a feeling that Christmas in LA is going to be a little like this photograph by Slim Aarons, which is pretty lovely looking if you ask me!
