To be quite honest with you, I can't imagine my Summer wardrobe without these effortless and timeless key pieces that easily transition from work to play. </i><i>What can I say, I simply can't resist great Summer separates and these <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1pG5ScS" target="_blank">Karen Kane</a></b> shorts and tank definitely have the easy, laid-back SoCal appeal I always look for in my staples. </i><i>Though normally I am a big fan of solid colors, lately I noticed more and more prints find their way into my closet. Case in point, a pair of spanish tile printed shorts I am wearing in this post. From the moment I spotted them in a store, I fell in love with this absolutely lovely white and blue geometric & floral print. Suppose I am a bit partial since white and blue just happen to be two of my favorite colors but I also think that this particular combination is really versatile and pairs beautifully with a variety of other colors and prints. </i><br /><i><br /></i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0BTX8rSC8p_WGNMvmvkvS7Vy390BsBksXmZ6Ww3HIeSUsRTdL3hzXFjg4GWDrB10XO2P2FVzk1Hgno3ye7x5xfBVctGQydvm8woKtpZKh0M9L40eTYkUJgYDO0nSX5IM7BTfns_ZN9Es/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la_karen+kane-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0BTX8rSC8p_WGNMvmvkvS7Vy390BsBksXmZ6Ww3HIeSUsRTdL3hzXFjg4GWDrB10XO2P2FVzk1Hgno3ye7x5xfBVctGQydvm8woKtpZKh0M9L40eTYkUJgYDO0nSX5IM7BTfns_ZN9Es/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la_karen+kane-3.jpg" /></a></div><i><br /></i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><i></i><br /><a name='more'></a><i>Since, I had a few meetings in the morning, I wanted to create a slightly dressier look.

BLOOMING BLUES

Good morning and happy Friday, Everyone! As you can see, I am back in my Summer uniform, i.e. embellished tank and a pair of cute shorts. To be quite honest with you, I can't imagine my Summer wardrobe without these effortless and timeless key pieces that easily transition from work to play. What ca…

How is your week going so far! I just wanted to take this opportunity to share a few of my favorite spots on Melrose Place, since I tend to spend so much time there and talk about it on this blog:) Well, the first thing Emil and I do when we get there is head straight to Alfred Coffee & Kitchen for some cappuccino and croissants. I may have mentioned before that I have a weakness for cappuccino and the one from Alfred Coffee is my absolute favorite at the moment. Another reason I think why we like Alfred Coffee so much, is because of the cute little sitting area outside. Both Emil and I always have our laptops with us and prefer to do our work outside. Don't really know why, but we are much more productive this way:) Once we get our caffeine fix, we tend to wonder around a bit, which inevitably leads to shopping. Well, at least it does for me:) I fully admit Emil may be a little less enthusiastic about this part! </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbM4pGEoWBsff7M_aoNQX_Y4l3Z6niIwwISTaV7I4IUivWWBNBVqu0LkJvn9jdAo4RCJhQCNMqc6dn227Re5n5PcPpRrC9xunYkel54Tk0rkeHHiAR9Jo5P54NHHm_Av_7QEly_FTK78A/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbM4pGEoWBsff7M_aoNQX_Y4l3Z6niIwwISTaV7I4IUivWWBNBVqu0LkJvn9jdAo4RCJhQCNMqc6dn227Re5n5PcPpRrC9xunYkel54Tk0rkeHHiAR9Jo5P54NHHm_Av_7QEly_FTK78A/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la-10.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i></i></div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><i>Though there are a few stores I usually frequent, my current favorite is Elodie K. I first discovered it when my friend Belen was visiting me from Spain. We popped in to look at shoes and I think we both pretty much fell in love. For me, it was definitely seeing all of my current obsessions in one place! You know how I feel about Sophia Webster heels and Illesteva sunnies, but Elodie K also has a really good selection of Sara Battaglia bags, floowy dresses and absolutely extraordinary beautiful jewelry (some of which I am wearing in today's post). At this particular moment I am lusting over at least 3 pairs of sandals and 4 bags! What can I say - shoes & bags are definitely my weakness:)</i></i><br /><i><i><br /></i></i><i><i>Emil and I shot a few of these images at Croft Alley, a new </i>restaurant opening on Melrose Place in a few weeks. We got the opportunity to check out the space and get a bit of a tour. Warm and rustic, the space looks and feels incredibly inviting. So, if you are a fan of Melrose, I definitely suggest checking it out! </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><i><br /></i></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbETCF7qdhlZryQWUvy3Vyw6yp89M67hDntRJa5qNMIInHwvi6BB_b10Bn9x09koCF6zx0209jOqhaCXljxiszdK0vLDyfNEOa9GXb3y6sYKLTXfRfvfx9gvqYtBTJ8_Nj5NwH370UAaY/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

COLD SHOULDER // HANGING OUT ON MELROSE

Hello Everyone! How is your week going so far! I just wanted to take this opportunity to share a few of my favorite spots on Melrose Place, since I tend to spend so much time there and talk about it on this blog:) Well, the first thing Emil and I do when we get there is head straight to Alfred Coffe…

I hope your week is going great so far! I am so excited to share yet another post from my year-long collaboration with Nordstrom Rack as part of #ShopGenius campaign. </i><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Every month, <b><a href="http://bitly.com/1f8bIs" target="_blank">Nordstrom Rack</a></b> highlights new trends and the month of June is all about bohemian-chic, characterized by graphic prints, stacked statement jewelry, soft neutrals and of course my personal favorite - jumpsuits!:) Why do I love jumpsuits so much, you ask? Well, because I think they are that quintessential must-have item no Summer wardrobe can go without. Completely versatile, you can take a jumpsuit to the beach or to cocktail hour, paired together with a tailored blazer and some cute heels. So naturally, when I thought about styling a perfectly effortless, bohemian-inspired look, a jumpsuit was the first thing that came to mind. I got this gorgeous graphic-printed Juicy Couture number at <b><a href="http://bitly.com/1f8bIs" target="_blank">NordstromRack.com</a></b> for 50% OFF + FREE SHIPPING and definitely had another one of those "YAY" moments! Cause I don't know about you guys, but I am definitely a bit of a shopping thrill-seeker and get really excited when I find something I love at a really great price. Now, I did mention why I like jumpsuits ( or it's mini version - the romper ) in general but the reason why I love this one in particular is... and here comes my confession of a shopping genius... I Believe in Fine Print!:) Though I do occasionally wear big & bold prints, normally I favor the softer & finer prints for their wearability and understated elegance. How about you guys? Bold or Understated? </i><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>P.S. I would love to hear about your amazing finds at Nordstrom Rack! So, please share your saves & steels on <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1qqzyN7" target="_blank">@NordstromRack</a></b> Instagram using hashtag #ShopGenius, and who knows, you may just find yourself featured on Nordstrom Rack Instagram page!</i><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

THE FINE PRINT :: CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPPING GENIUS

Good morning, Everyone! I hope your week is going great so far!
