This summer is coming to an end, and I couldn't pass up an opportunity to wear this LF lace tank top (from last summer) for possibly the last time. This last week has been a crazy! I got home from Maui, and immediately had friends come into town for the holiday weekend to stay with me. After a busy weekend of sight seeing, a birthday part at Sky High (don't lie and pretend like jumping on trampolines into foam pits isn't the best way to spend Saturday night), and watching 5 hours of Real Housewives of Melbourne (shine shine shine) we decided to stroll around Melrose Place. Then after seeing thousands of Instagram pictures from Alfred's Coffee, we decided it was a necessity to experience the coffee, and immediately followed it with a photo session with Casper  the Barista.

I haven't talked to much about my outfit in this post, and thats honestly because I'm sooooo ready for Fall to come! Hello leather, plaid, oversized sweaters, and knee highs. However, I will say that the All the Wire Necklace I wore in this post means the world to me. I posted it on Instagram (@leather.lace.andcupcakes) last week if you want to see it up close. I had it engraved with the words "Forever in my heart, PLP" as a way to keep my dad close to my heart. All the Wire is a great jewelry line stared by Tori (from Courtney loves Dallas) and her sister Desiree. The unique thing about this line is that many of the pieces can be personalized with your own special words. 

Hope you guys are having a wonderful Holiday weekend! What are you guys most excited to wear this Fall?!

Sunday, I headed down to the Matrix Theater on Melrose to see the play In a Dark Dark House, which is directed by Larry Moss and written by Neil LaBute. I went to support my best friend's boyfriend Shaun Sipos who was one of the talented leads. If you are into very dark psychological thrillers I would highly recommend checking this out, it's a very powerful story. Knowing I was going to be watching a very dark story (and it happened to be a gloomy LA day) I decided that it was necessary to dress in dark colors. Pants were an absolute must, as I tend to get cold very easily, and these Halogen trousers are extremely comfy because of the elastic waistband. I opted for a lacy black crop top to balance out the shape of the pants. You could easily pair these pants with a tucked in white blouse and sheer black blazer and turn this into a work outfit.  The black Report Signature booties are so comfortable that I can easily walk around Melrose all day without complaining about being in pain. Off to bed and anticipating the beautiful week that is ahead of all of us. I know I'm already thinking about what I'm going to wear to the Hollywood Bowl Friday to see Hair (getting a bit cultured guys), and I can't wait to share it with you guys next week!

Hat// Janessa Leone Vera Hat (bought at LF Robertson Blvd)

After spending about an hour or so on my couch wearing a pair of yoga pants and nike shoes in hopes that this would inspire me to work out.... I realized that was clearly a joke (In reality I was just watching Melrose Place).  I decided to throw on some clothes and head to dinner at Pink Taco with my friend Mallory from Bad Wolf Brunch. I had about ten minutes to get ready, and found this LF dress from last summer and decided to wear it over my new black seamless Ascot & Heart black tank slip. These Jeffrey Campbell black Everwell cut out boots are an obsession of mine and often get the privilege to venture outside of my closet. I think the cut outs in the boot make them a great summer option. I'm also a big supporter of pendent necklaces, and this summer i've been all about the turquoise. This is the summer of hats for me, so I tend to wear them quite often despite hating them in May. 

I don't know about you, but I have big plans for this weekend. I'll be watching endless episodes of Melrose Place on Hulu probably in yoga pants. Then I'll read a summer romance novel I shamelessly bought in the young adult section at Barnes and Nobles while wondering at 25 why I'm not as cool as the teenagers I'm reading about (obviously listening to Taylor Swifts I'm feeling 22). And if I'm feeling reaalllyyy crazy I might just attempt to cook something from Pintrest...and then order takeout when that fails as per usual. Have a great weekend!!
