Kept memories

farewell

Hello Lovelies,

Yesterday was one of my monthly luncheons with my besties. We attempt to have one every month to catch up and to just enjoy each other's company. Sometimes you have to schedule the time in or else the only memories you will remember are the ones wasted by apologetic texts or begrudged last minute cancellations. We started our day with a rooftop lunch at K'ya in Laguna beach. This is by far one of best places I have been to that offered great food that was paired with a breathtaking scenery. If anything, the experience was worth the three flights of stairs to get up there. Be prepared for a "Laguna Beach" proceeding; You will encounter overextended wealthy middle-aged power couples and french personnel in mohair Chanel boots, expecting to waited on hand and foot.

When I envisioned this blog entry, I knew i wanted to do an accessory story for the everyday fashionista. Accessories to me are like the bows that top the presents. The wrapping is surely beautifully done, but the bow is what makes the present pop. You can do a heavily accented accessory story, like the one i did, but just make sure it's well complemented. I chose to do a gunmental, mauve, and white combo to accent the grey/ black of my outfit. The accessories are eclectic, but so was my outfit. It fit well with the futuristic look I was trying to accomplish. But overall, you need to have fun with your accessory choices. Whether its a pair of feather-fringed earrings or faux pearl strands, make sure you work the accessories and not the other way around.
