Supporting My Mama

( Disclaimer...we do not endorse smoking, nor do we smoke, we purely posed for the picture! p.s. my mom is probably going to kill me for putting this picture up! haha love you mom)



This weekend I am going home to support my mom at her Remnants of the Past antique show! My mama is a very talented designer and loves to collect old treasures from all over the world. Her show is held at the Dana Powers barn in Nipomo. My mom has vendors that she hand selects to be in her show, and all her vendors have fabulous stuff. Every year I try to go to support her and see the show. You should come too!! All you Remnants of the Past followers I hope to see you there, leave a comment and I will try to find you on Saturday!

Jewerly for your Feet

I have to tell you about my small love affair with my new shoes! I was not in the market for shoes, I have been ready to pack up my sandals and bring on the boots but I stumbled across the most adorable boutique lucialovesluigi, the staff was incredible helpful and welcoming. The store has lots of indie designers and old favorites like Nicole Miller and Paul & Joe. Anyways back to the shoes, I love the red stones and the small adorned gold jewel in the center. I plan on wearing these as much as I can before the cold weather hits! If you are a local in Santa Barbara stop by and check lucia loves luigi at 21 W. Ortega Street, Santa Barbara

Scandinavian Inspired

I couldn't help but be inspired by my work's new apparel concept, gaining creative inspiration from Iceland and the Scandinavian ocean. The color palette is gray,purple and blues with pops of red. The look is layered, comfy and cozy. Rebecca Taylor was also inspired by Swedish fairy tales and incorporated that look in her fall 09 show at New York Fashion Week! I don't think I will be sporting the furry vest down state street but I do have my eyes set on the Marc Jacobs dress and cozy moccasins!

Pumpkin Patch Inspiration Board

Fall Inspired by Devon Watkins featuring Anthropologie

A trip to the pumpkin patch inspired my inspiration board for today. On Sunday my boyfriend and I went to Lane Farms and indulged in the corn maze and stocked up on lovely pumpkins, and funky gourds. I couldn't help but pick out the perfect cozy outfit, a great knit sweater with big buttons and a pair of worn-in corduroys while sitting on this lovely couch burning this wonderful candle that makes the room smell of freshly baked pumpkin pie!

Bright Idea

Bright Idea by Devon Watkins featuring J Crew

Twist on basics. This classic black jacket comes to life with the unconventional feminine blouse. The unexpected colors in the bag give this outfit a pop that it needs. I love the vintage feel of this jacket, it looks like it could be Chanel, with it's heavy fabric and attention to detail. A classic black jacket can be a great essential to your wardrobe for fall, it is easy to pair with a dress, skirt or with jeans!

Have a Delightful Weekend

"Simplify" is going to be the theme of my weekend. I don't know about you guys but I have had a hectic week and look forward to a relaxing weekend! So whatever you do this weekend simplify and relax!

Item of the Week

This might be the perfect bootie with it's richness in mahogany color and twisted braided detail, makes my heart swoon. This heel is a great height that you could last on your feet all day, which is a plus. These would look great paired with textured tights or with a great pair of distressed denim. They are investment piece at $188 from Anthropologie.
