Style Recipes: Palm Springs / the style eater

BB Dakota shirt, Topshop denim shorts, Madewell Sunglasses, Topshop Sandals (old)

I love, love, love hot weather. My soul craves it. My pale skin obviously needs it too. I swear these photos were taken BEFORE I laid out by the pool and not after! But give me a 90 degree day and a pair of shorts and I’m in my happy zone. Also, I’m that person who wears a palm tree shirt in Palm Springs. I just HAD to. It felt right, ya know?

As mentioned here, I spent the last few days in PS and I’ll be damned if my soul doesn’t feel a hundred times better! The heat will do that to ya. More photos from the trip coming tomorrow.

On having a uniform

March 7, 2013

my uniform / the style eater

We all have those clothing items that we’d wear every day if we could.  Don’t you dare deny it.  Oh if I could, I’d wear a combination of this outfit every damn day.  But you’d probably think I was a weirdo, so I reign it in and only wear it about once (okay twice) a week.  Not this exact outfit in particular per se, but a version of it. Sure, I’ll add some extras into the mix like a button-up shirt under the sweater or a colorful knit scarf or maybe even shorts instead of the jeans.

But for the most part, I like it just like that – simple and unfussy, easy and boyish.  It’s ME and this is what I’m comfortable in.

My uniform is as follows:
a crew neck sweater (I prefer this Everlane one)
+ perfectly worn denim (these Madewells are similar to the ones above)
+ Wigwam socks (the comfiest of comfy socks)
+ ankle boots (these Chelsea versions have been in heavy rotation lately)

And yes, it’s about to get hot in LA so my exact uniform will be sidelined for a bit, but don’t worry, I have a summer version of it and although I’m sure you can guess what it is, I’ll share my summertime uniform soonsies!

What’s your uniform combo?

SHOP MY CLOSET / COPIOUS

Shop my Closet on Copious / the style eater

You guys.  I’m doing a little spring cleaning and selling a few thangs from my closet on Copious.  I’m an eBayer at heart but love the look and feel of this new-to-me selling platform (plus The Man Repeller and Oh Joy use Copious and I pretty much trust them with my life).  I’ve listed a few pair of jeans (ranging from Acne to J Brand), some dresses (Topshop, ASOS, etc), a couple sweaters, a sweet pair of Soludos, and an adorable floppy fedora that matches my hair color exactly so would probably look way better on you.

I’ll be reloading the shop often so come back anytime.  Also, if you click the “SHOP” button in the navigation bar at the top of my site, it will go directly to my Copious listings.

HIS / HERS

January 22, 2013

Filed Under : BEAUTY - STYLE

Kyle and I sometimes wear the same shoes.  We also have a lot of the same clothing items.  Is that normal? Probably. Maybe??  Not at all?  I don’t know really.  But don’t worry, we’re also polar opposites in a lot of ways.  I mean, whereas he uses only one notebook to jot down his thoughts, I rotate between 5 and 15 notebooks at a time.  How can a person get by with only one notebook?

Anyway, here are a few of our snazzy and somewhat similar things side-by-side (my stuff on the left, his on the right):

His/Hers Polka Dots

His/Hers Bumble & Bumble

His/Hers Notebooks

His/Hers Supergas

HER: Madewell Polka Dot Shirt (similar here) // HIS: Gitman Bros. Polka Dot Shirt
HER: Bumble & Bumble Semisumo hair product // HIS: Bumble & Bumble Sumotech hair product
HER: Rotating stack of notebooks // HIS: Evernote Moleskine notebook
HER: Supergas // HIS: Supergas

STYLE RECIPES: The BF’s Clothes

Kyle’s beanie, Gap scarf, J. Crew shirt (similar here), Kyle’s old tee, Gap jeans, Jeffrey Campbell boots

Sometimes on the weekends I dress like a hobo.  We all have those days, am I right?  I grab whatever is clean and that sometimes includes the boyfriend’s Les Miserables t-shirt from high school.  It also may include his beanie.  What else are boyfriends good for if not for borrowing clothing from?  PS, can you tell it’s a cold day in Los Angeles?  Cold days really do happen, I swear!

And, I’m not technically promoting Les Mis but I’m really excited to see it and Anne Hathaway is my favorite human.

Also, I meant to post this yesterday and am just now realizing it never got published.  Oi!  Hope you all have a lovely weekend!  I’ll be making and assembling Christmas gifts the whole weekend.  I’m going to share one of these fun DIY gifts on Monday if all goes well.  Wish me luck, candy thermometers are involved!
