Hi there!

We got away from downtown Toronto for a socially distanced trip to a lake a bit north this week and it was magical! We enjoyed making s’mores by the campfire, canoeing, biking, hiking, and going out to eat at a restaurant with a big open air patio. I missed going out for dinner date night so much! I added pics from the trip in my IG “Toronto” highlight reel.

Near the lake there were so many beautiful fields that I had to shoot my LoveShack Fancy “Stacy dress” (a recent Revolve sale fave, also avail on LSF’s site) in a field. The light was so pretty before sunset. I love LSF’s whimsy designs they are boho and girly and so much fun to wear. I can’t wait to get to CT to see my family and pick up my LSF x Target dresses I bought from the launch (they didn’t ship to Canada, sadly!)

Happy Summer Solstice!

Hi there!

I had some fun on a recent return to LA shooting this look. A go-to fashion staple of mine is the band tee, and my Tom Petty t-shirt pictured is a favorite of mine. It’s handmade (distressed) by Tasch NYC, a New York handmade all-woman company! I’ve blogged about them before in another 70s bell bottom, velvet platform, faux fur jacket look shot in Manhattan, where I featured her Janis Joplin tee.

I styled the t-shirt with my LoveShack Fancy eyelet skirt, small Parisian boutique combat boots which are exact Balmain dupes, and my beloved oldie-but-goodie Topshop faux fur teal jacket. My Gucci GG Marmont Velvet Shoulder Bag matches the coat so well, so I chose that to finish off the look!

Life’s too short not to have fun with fashion:)

Eyelet & Lace

Hi there! 

Have you noticed eyelet and lace are having a major moment? I love this vintage girly look and in my photos above I showed how you can wear it on the beach or a night out! I would style the long sleeve top and skirt (both from my summer Hamptons obsession store: Loveshack Fancy) with an ankle bootie and leather jacket for fall, and just the way I did at the beach in Miami recently for warmer weather. The tank in those photos are from a small boutique in NYC!  White and brown are a fave neutral color palette of mine for fall, and I just got an eyelet long sleeve top with collar that I’m going to wear under my brown fringe suede jacket with jeans and brown suede booties!

Since my last post I’ve been busy settling into my new home in LA. I’m no longer based in NYC and am now in LA! It’s so crazy and definitely an adjustment but I am loving it so far. Thanks for bearing with me as I’ve been MIA getting settled and traveling for work. If you have any suggestions on what to see me in maybe a trend you’d like me to style please don’t hesitate to comment it on my IG or below on my blog here!

Xo, 

Carolina
