five things

hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! i know that i usually post my five things on fridays, but everything has been a little sporadic lately including my blogging for which i apologize. i really am trying to stay consistent guys, really! so thanks for sticking with me.. here are my five current faves! x

1. dark + stormy weather
2. simmering pots of chicken soup
3. burgundy flats + blue polka dots
4. sammy curled up in a favorite knit blanket
5. new in: black lace bag + mac lustreglass in flashmode

with a skirt

it seems that my zara sandals surprisingly go well with something other than just pants! i’ve never really been that much into wearing skirts and dresses but i’ve decided to change all that. i guess i feel that pants are a more universally flattering and forgiving garment but it’s good to venture out of your comfort zone i believe. wishing you all a wonderful weekend guys, happy friday! xx

six things

happy friday guys! well it turned out to be six rather than five things again. but whether it’s two or ten it’s all good either way. here are the six things that are great right now, most of which are materialistic, but oh well. have a wonderful weekend! xx k.

sporty

i’ve been known to live in my workout gear which consists of spandex and dri-fit nike tops. so now that athletic colors and materials have emerged onto the runway, i’m pleased to say that i’m pleased. plus it’s very easy to go from a day of shopping and iced-coffees to an early evening gym sesh because you’re already halfway dressed. you’ve got no excuse now!

chickens, sandals + goats

can you believe that goats and chickens exist in the middle of the city? well they do here in portland apparently. goats happen to be one of my favorite animals, aside from pigs. and although it’s not quite yet spring, i couldn’t wait to break in my new sandals which are surprisingly very comfortable to walk in, love that! wishing you all a fabulous monday!! xx kristina

lookbook: stripes + snakeskin

nothing beats a hot cup of chili on a cold day like this one. followed by a pear and cranberry tart with a strong coffee make it even better. also, it’s pretty revolutionary when people finally manage to get real and show vulnerability. i say that we should always try and be as real as possible, even with those that we’re not close with. because what’s the point of going through life without really knowing one another?

lookbook: southwestern knit + maxi

right now i’m pretty obsessed with all things southwestern. this knit sweater is just perfect in both size and comfort, and because it’s slightly cropped, it pairs quite well with a maxi skirt worn slightly higher on the waistline. also, adding a pair of ballet-inspired, off white pumps led me to the inevitable idea of twisting my hair up into a simple ballerina bun. and my bright coral suede fringe bag adds that obligatory pop of color to the ensemble

lookbook: two of hearts

it’s amazing how the weather can turn on a dime. it went from a pretty warm indian summer to a chilly and wet early fall. but i’m not complaining, i can truly appreciate rain and whatever else involves a cozy, fireplace-lit home. i don’t have to feel guilty for staying inside and watching movies, catching up on crafts or sipping spicy hot cocoa while watching my favorite t.v. chefs cook up delicious foods. and what’s even more important is that i can now comfortably wear my knit tights, chunky sweaters warm scarves and leather boots!

five things

happy friday lovelies! i’ve realized that i should start doing these favorites on a more consistent basis. fall has finally decided to settled in and i’m now in the full swing of things and just enjoying the mood that it has to offer! i wish you all a fantabulous weekend ahead and i leave you with a few of my faves!

lookbook: mel’s house

today i had a lunch date with my mom, sister and niece. it was just like old times again, where we sat around the big wooden table and had some great conversation as we tucked into yummy bowls of ramen noodles. and even though i cook a lot myself now, there is simply nothing better than a meal prepared by mom.
