This room has so many great elements that I tend to favor in both home and apparel design.  A natural base (wood floors or neutral accessories work best), comfortable key pieces (a mid century modern couch gets softened with throw pillows as skinny jeans ease up with a faded wash), and finally a few graphic statements to catch and hold the eye (this modern gallery wall does the same visual trick as a geometric print peplum top.  And in a color palette of my favorite stand-bys (black, white, shades of blue, and nude) – I’m totally ready to give my dresses a day off.  

I talked about these shoes here, and when they went down to an extra 20% off their already reduced sale price? I didn’t think twice.  And boy, did these little lovelies not disappoint.  Unusually comfortable, and the type of thing that takes exactly 5 seconds to turn an outfit from simple to special.  And while head to toe black isn’t exactly LA’s style, sometimes you have to stick to the equations you know.  

Maybe it’s the fact that my first job was at Dairy Queen, but you’d be hard pressed to find me turning down ice cream on a hot Summer’s night.  Below, a few excuses to indulge in the sweetest of treats.

Nest: While it seems like a bit of work, I can’t help but feel enticed by the idea of crafting my own flavors in the comfort of my own home, and enjoying a California sunset on the front porch with a fresh scoop (or two).

Dressed: For a stroll down the boardwalk, sugar cone in hand, there’s nothing sweeter than this backless little number with an ice cream cone print.  And on summer sale there’s really nothing stopping you from the dress or the dessert (calories be damned…).

The Rest: These little silver spoons are engraved “My ice cream” and “Your ice cream”.  The cutest accessory to a bowl since the invention of rainbow sprinkles.
