Think Better in Pink

(Vintage denim shirt, gifted J Brand Skinnies, Kelsi Dagger Zipper Heels, gifted Rebecca Minkoff Clutch)

Two denim shirt post in a row! These were actually taken last week and I remember everyone at work (including non-gay architects) mentioning how much they liked my pants. I love embracing color and the easiest way for me to wear it without being too out there (although I don't really mind being too out there at times) is making it more casual by pairing it with the most casual thing in my closet, a denim shirt.

I'm off to LA for the weekend to search for apartments so wish me luck!

Just to answer a few frequently asked questions:

1) I do wear all the outfits from my outfit posts. However, I always keep a jacket with me since I'm one of those Californians who's always cold even when it's warm out.

2) Somebody asked if I get 'bunions' since I wear high heels all the time and omg, I just googled-imaged it and no, I don't have bunions. The trick to wearing heels is to wear ones with platform heels or wedges and I always have insoles inside.

3) I don't work out at all but I walk and talk a lot which I think helps burn calories

Shopping in Essaouira

Finally some pics from the old town in essaouira, which was honestly hands down one of the best shopping experiences I've ever come across. It was amazing - every little shop was filled with treasure-like pieces.. packed with inspiring prints and designs. Shoes, bags, jewellery - all hand made, all so insanely gorgeous I ended up going back three times. Still stuck with a feeling I left half of it undiscovered... A few very good days

Ruffles and Scallops

(Chiffon Blouse c/o Bamboo Sky, Forever 21 Scalloped Linen Skirt, gifted Bimba & Lola Cuff, Cartier & Citizen Watches, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bracelet, Prada Wallet, Joe's Jeans Leopard Wedge Sandals)

I have a soft spot for great details. I have about 20 white blouses (maybe more) but all of them are different from one another and the cut offs on this blouse seem quite romantic. The red skirt is a recent buy from Forever 21 and I love the linen fabric that wrinkles over time and the scalloped hem. More pictures on Minkette
