After borrowing my sister’s Madewell cape several times over the holidays I decided to take the plunge and invest in my own. It is surprisingly warm and fun to wear…arms free is the way to be!

Been pairing this baby with everything from dresses to leather pants, and in honor of the uncharacteristically warm weather we had this weekend, I decided to bust out my trusty quilted shorts. That’s right, shorts in January — only in California!

Practicing my layering skills in prep for our trip to New York next week! Word on the street is Blake and I are in for some mighty low temps. These J Brand waxed jeans were a welcome addition to my ever-growing colored pants collection, though sadly they’re already losing their waxiness. Such is life, I suppose.

In other news, I’m addicted to my new Matiko boots from Collective Habit. Yep, addicted. They go with absolutely any outfit, and I know they’ll only grow cooler with age and wear. I even got my sister the same ones in black for Xmas, which I obviously plan to borrow on a regular basis. :)

It has become somewhat of a tradition for my mom and me to hit up OC’s finest shopping mall, South Coast Plaza, after Christmas. This year I was lucky to come across this gem of a blazer (if I may say so), absurdly marked down, like, 90 percent. Paired it up with the cozy Kelly Wearstler scarf I now refuse to leave home without, and some bright blue pumps to round out the primary color palette I was apparently going for. Guess I needed a little brightness to help take on another foggy morning in SF!

Hope y’all enjoyed the holidays as much as I did! May 2012 bring you health, happiness and amazing adventures.
