    new adventures of old christine.

    Oh, Christine! In case you’ve never seen my girl-crush board on Pinterest, let’s just say I think I’m in love with Christine Centenera. I may or may not want to have her children. Putting together an outfit post inspired by this very look as we speak! Ah!

    work&play day.

    Peplum tops and magenta-colored trousers. Staples? Maybe not for everyone but I wouldn’t mind adding them to my arsenal. Currently my commute leaves me completely drained when I get home. Cook? Clean? Ugh, how about a nap instead? Nevermind falling asleep randomly around the car/house when I get home (don’t worry, we carpool), an invite…

  • studded.

    Everyone’s favorite basic sandal from Zara is back with slight modifications. Sporting a chunkier heel and *gasp* studs! I, for one, purchased immediately. Considering I couldn’t ever find the original basic sandal in my size I just couldn’t pass this up.

    Congratulations guys!

  • farmer’s market.

    If you’ve never attended your local farmer’s market, you really don’t know what you’re missing. The atmosphere, the weather (in LA), the food and a great date is just something I can’t turn down too often.

    This totally happened this weekend. Chris & Dawn’s Wedding Reception. Auburn, WA.

  • sunday brunch.

    I was never really the brunch-type (if there is a such a thing). Mostly because I’m not really a morning person. Until we discovered Bottega Louie in Downtown LA (which I’ve mentioned a couple of times before). Below is my “all I have to do today is look good & enjoy brunch” outfit. The heels…
