Magic Gypsy Pants.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!! 

I am loving, what I have dubbed, my weekend pants. Although I can often be found wearing them on weekday evenings binge watching The Wire. They just make me feel like it's the weekend whenever I wear them. I found them at Urban - they are perfect for my expanding waistline. They are the softest, comfiest pants I have ever owned. I might even get a second pair in another color. I have a feeling they'll look even cuter come July when I am 7 months preggo, paired with a fitted black tank. I found this top in Greece on my honeymoon. I love finding unique pieces when I travel, not only do they remind me of such fond memories when I wear them, but I know that I won't have to worry about anyone else wearing the same thing. The open back on this shirt makes it so breezy on scorching hot days too. I've missed these brown suede platforms by Cooperative. I hadn't worn them in ages. I probably won't wear them much now either. My center of gravity is shifting and my balance isn't as good as it usually is. But I just love the 70's vibe they have. I have been obsessed with these Toms Lobamba sunnies - I have been wearing them everyday. 

I am officially half way through my pregnancy - I'm exactly 20 weeks today!!!!! 

That baby bump is definitely popping! And I've been feeling baby girl moving around in there. I am pretty sure she already takes after her Mama bc I swear she loves doing somersaults in there and I can already tell this girl is night owl. She starts her dance party as the sun starts to set.

Well I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! I  plan to escape to the beach tomorrow. It has just been so HOT here - like August level of heat! I need to get in that cool Pacific ocean....

Blackbird.

Feeling like a blackbird today. This capey shirt and all black ensemble makes me feel like I may grow feathers and fly away. If I could I would fly somewhere colder than sunny L.A. I can't take anymore eighty degree weather. I dream of grey skies, a chill in the air and a fall breeze. Wearing all black is really keeping me sane until I can finally sport sweaters, beanies and thick, wooly socks. All black is a regular thing for me, especially during the fall and winter seasons. I don't know why exactly. I always find that I feel like my true self in a colorless look and a bold lip with edgy accessories. Today I was feeling like a minimalist and went light on the jewelry, well, light for me. I figured in case I did grow some wings I wouldn't want a wristful of bangles to weigh me down.

This top I got in Greece in Oia on my honeymoon, it was on the mannequin and I was like yes I will have that please. It's a Greek designer called Moutaki. These skinnies I got in D.C. at a random Barney's outlet that we stumbled across. They're The Cameron by Genetic Denim in Raven. They're pretty much the best motorcycle inspired jean I have come across. They're super stretchy and comfortable with great detailing and cut.  Paired with my Sam Edelman Zoe Booties (they are my faves I have worn these so much I may need another pair) - it's the perfect day to night look for this transitional weather. Especially when I toss in my quilted, silver Rebecca Minkoff bag. 

Now I am really ready to grow some wings and fly away...

 

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night,

Take these broken wings and learn to fly...."

 

"All your life, you were only waiting

for this moment to arise..."

 

"Blackbird fly, blackbird fly, 

into the light of the dark, black night..."
