More OUTNET goodness

The Outnet has become one of my favorite websites.  I am a girl who loves a deal and almost everything I buy is usually on some kind of sale, unless it is an investment item that will not go on sale. This is my favorite time to scoop up great pieces to build a wardrobe.  I am always on the lookout for interesting additions that can transfer my wardrobe into the next season.  Here are some of my favorites:

Alice and Olivia leather jacket (XS you are in luck)

3.1 Phillip Lim embellished top

Mikael Aghal silk embroidered dress

Zoe Karssen leopard print track pants

Acne pumps

Alice and Olivia blouse

Zac Zac Posen bag(love this color with black, camel, cream)

Nina Ricci bag (this is a French goddess bag!)

Kenneth Jay Lane necklace

Oscar De La Renta cabochon ring(this looks like an heirloom and looks great with everything)

Gemma Redux necklace (this style necklace is super in style and all over Spring runway)

After Christmas Returns

Every year the day after Christmas John and I hit the town and do our returns, have lunch and spend a portion of the day sans kids.  The kids meanwhile were at home having the time of their lives rainbow looming it up with the babysitter. It was a win win. We went to Third Street Promenade and then to True Food for lunch.  Such a fun and relaxing day after all the Christmas madness, and p.s. LA clears out after Christmas so there were no crowds.  

p.s. This is the hat from my earlier post. 



...and the house after the tree and decorations came down...only the lights outside and the cards still up--love the holiday cards

Some Favorite Hats

Tonight I went to The Grove to see the tree and the snow with our family.  It was fabulous in every way and one thing I noticed was hats, hats, hats.  Here is the look and some of my favorites.

Silky pants

I love the look of slightly slouchy dressy silk pants.  They have been around for a few seasons but have stuck around because of the cut and comfort.  This is how I would wear them: A high low mix.
