HB and I enjoyed our last full day in Los Angeles strolling the amusing sights along Venice Beach. I’m particularly fond of this outfit now and plan to wear it exactly as I did here for a long time to come! The black and white striped shirt is oversized and breezy, making it perfect for a hot day with light wind. The blazer is silky soft and I love the striped lining that shows when I roll up the sleeves!

These Dany platforms made their debut here, and of course my trusty fringe bag and MK watch are always on me at all times. Venice Beach was one of my favorite touristy things we did the whole week I spent in L.A.!

Boy oh boy do I not relish the thought of cleaning/throwing away/packing up my three bedroom townhome, to fit into a 2 bedroom apartment in two weeks. Help!!

The social bar above is my tip jar. Pin, Like, and Tweet if you please!

Love, Kristina

I think this is my favorite look of your's yet! I love the contrast of the stripe shirt with the stripe of the blazer's sleeve! Gorgeous! And those heels… I've been lusting over them!

We recently moved from a two bedroom apartment to a one bedroom. Ugh. We weren't trying to downsize but the apartment we found was so nice and such a great price that I said I would try it for a while. It's def taking some work!

I am utterly in LOVE with those shoes! I've been to Venice Beach once, it is a lot of fun to walk around and soak in the sights and the ocean.

I love those shoes. But are they comfortable? Can you let me know? I'd love to buy them but I'm afraid I'd topple over!

Thanks,

Tracy
