University of Southern California

The one thing I do regret in my life is not enrolling at USC when the time was right (sorry UCLA, I do love you, too). Visiting the campus in the heart of downtown LA (at night AND pretty illegally I must confess) I was drawn to all that opportunity and that “SKULLS” vibe that is evident everywhere. I sneaked in the stadium, I chased a drunken opossum and learned the tale of how the alumni celebrate their graduation by climbing all (and there are many) the fountains located in the campus.

And since I’ve had my fair share of academic studying (and biology was not easy) I can only listen in ecstasy all those USC stories my friends kept telling over outdoor fires, eating marshmallows from sticks and just being a proud imposter by wearing my fave USC tee.

Go Trojans!

Are we in Paris yet?

There’s nothing more effortlessly cool than a pair of trustworthy skinny jeans (ripped at the knee being a plus) paired with a simple gray t shirt and a leather jacket. You can call it Parisian Chic 101. And you can trust the French. They invented macarons.

From a casual day outing to a PFW paparazzi pic, this outfit saves the day-toujours. Invest in plain basics with a feminine fit, stick to black, gray and white, add a signature piece (you don’t have a fringed jacket, seriously ???) and you’ll be fine.

Paris awaits.

Count the dots

And don’t forget the pearls. In a casual haze of grey, white and black and matching Damien Hirst -ish- dots ( that remind me too much of M&Ms), I am proudly showing off my new Catys (can Celine ever go wrong?) and orange lipstick cause I’m feeling matchy matchy.

Who said sweat pants are only for sweating? Roll them out, style them up, bring them on.

Beachbums unite.

Beachbum Winter Edition

We may lack in beaches at the (cold) moment but as far as idling is concerned I’m 100% there. Fully supportive of the habitual loafing, beachbum is a state of mind. Which I proudly possess. So I take my carefree mental state and move from the beach to the chalet (could be a shed too).

Problem solved.

The Great fringed Outdoors

Having fun at camp. Please send more money.

This could easily be this post’s title since the great outdoors IS great, but there is so much one can do without a Pendleton blanket and a pack of marshmallows.

In my case though, I saved the calories for a chocolate overdose aftermath and compromised with a fringed leather jacket (very Cowgirl) and brand new brocade slippers.

Watch out for walkers.
