Alexa

LnA Clothing long sleeves / Paige Denim coated pants / Forever 21 coat / Black hat / Boots

This outfit was clearly inspired by one of my fashion icons, Alexa Chung. I've always admired her minimalistic, no fuss outfits. She just dresses and carries herself so effortlessly that makes her easily one of my fashion inspirations. I automatically thought of her when I saw this coat hanging on the rack, hence why I bought it (also because I needed a warm coat to pack with me for New York :P).

Here are some other great boucle coat options:

However, because of the boxy, oversized fit of this coat, it can get a little tricky when it comes to styling it. Depending on what you're wearing, you can look really bulky on top. So for this look, I kept it simple with an all black outfit with the coat as the main piece. I added a little bit of interest by mixing and matching different textures (wool vs. coated "waxy" pants). I've also paired this look with a black skinny pants to give it a streamlined look.

Final few hours until Cyber Monday is officially over (see my Cyber Monday post with deals and picks here)! I'm still trying to scour online for some great gifts for my loved ones for Christmas. I'm doing it differently this year by not doing my shopping last minute. And I'm proud to report that I've made some progress and have checked-off some names on my list. Sometimes the struggle can be real when shopping for someone else, so I'll be starting a gift guide series here to give you some ideas for the holiday season.

Speaking of shopping, I finally posted my Winter + Black Friday haul on my Youtube channel. These are just some of the things that I picked out for myself since some of the deals were too hard to pass up on. I can't wait to style them in my upcoming outfit posts!

Criss Cross

LnA t-shirt / Fire Denim Short Overalls (similar) / Betani Sandals (similar) / Celine Nano bag
Happy Sunday! I just realized how much criss crossing is going on in this outfit. There's the sandals, the cross body bag, and the back of my overalls. But yes, clearly LA hasn't received the autumn memo yet since I'm still dressing up as if it's still summer.

Anyway, just popping in here to say hi! Hope everyone had an amazing and relaxing weekend.

This tank. Business in the front. Party in the back. The asymmetrical cut of this tank gives an illusion from behind that it's a dress when you're wearing shorts. Bonus: it's sheer enough for this blazing heat. With the unbearable heat lately, I'm all about less clothing and thin fabrics. Can fall just swoop in already? I'm ready to bundle up.
