After the fourth, my mom and I spent the day doing some dangerous recreational shopping in between running errands and a late evening viewing of World War Z. This crop top and high waisted shorts pairing has basically been my uniform these past couple weeks; I'm having enormous amounts of fun mixing and matching different colored tops, (like marbled grey and white), together with different bottoms, (like circle skirts and jeans). You'll probably see a couple more renditions before summer's end.
I was definitely one of those early risers who rushed to H&M at 7 am the day the Marni collection came out about a year ago. Although I came home with three pretty basic items, I've had trouble wearing the pieces. When I finally put this classic silk shirt on over my "uniform" it felt like a Eureka! moment. Now I can't imagine wearing anything else. It drapes perfectly and is a very good alternative to the light summer jacket.
Lately I've been piling on the gold jewelry, especially simple textured chains. Also, this cuff is ridiculous. I bought it at a flea market a couple years ago for $5. How crazy are the bubbles?
The #1 thing on our to-do list that day was buy new bedding for my dorm room. Apparently college beds are-- for some reason unbeknownst to me-- five inches longer than a normal twin size mattress, and as such appropriate sheets must fit a Twin XL. My mom and I ended up at Macy's which had every selection from regular jersey fabric to egyptian cotton. After running my hands through countless linens, I finally settled on four-hundred thread count white sheets; I love how classic and perfect they are.
Right before the movie we also caught a quick bight at Umami Burger. For those of you not in Los Angeles, Umami boasts probably one of the best burgers around.
My new favorite of theirs is the Earth Burger-- an edamame patty served with slow roasted tomato, shiitake mushrooms, butter lettuce and ricotta cheese.
Also, the truffle fries are amazing.
