"In characters, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity"- Henry W. Longfellow. I truly love this quote and try to live by it. This post will be short and sweet as I am packing to go to LA for a week. I am really excited to stay in West Hollywood again, see some familiar faces, sit by the pool and hopefully meet some new and interesting people. If you are from LA holla, who knows maybe we can have a drink or two. I need to decide what to pack, I know that is a good problem to have.

    I really love the quote... it's such a true affirmation... and your outfit... great, as usual. The skirt is wonderful and you look pretty (what a nice idea!).

    Have a lovely weekend dear :)

    Great outfit, still loving that DIY skirt, it gives such a nice edge to even the most simple outfits & the metallic silver touches are just perfect too! Have an amazing time in LA & look forward to seeing/hearing about it when you're back! :)

    This is sooo good! Reminds me of Helmut Lang in a way that it's so simplistic but futuristic at the same time :)
