Malia Mills Boutique, Los Altos.

My first time visiting a mm boutique after years of buying the swimwear online.

The staff was so helpful and attentive. 

So happy they opened a shop so close to me.

I don't know how it happens, but I can not keep track of my socks and underpinnings. I have been on vacation for two weeks now, and I finally have time to blog and more importantly reorganize my wardrobe disaster area. After searching high and low for the matching pairs, all to no avail a feeling of sadness came upon me. Yes, a lost sock gets me in a depressive mood. Fortunately, my go to socks for work are from Hansel from Basel and they have the most vibrant pairs out at the moment. I have my eye on the sheer polka dot number. I think my first priority will be acquiring this baby from Muji to keep my socks in order. 

Lauren Manoogian's AW13 Collection 

I have one beloved knit tank from Lauren Manoogian and it is probably one of my most worn tops. I am just thrilled to see her new collection for fall. The palette, simplicity and the styling of her lookbook are impeccable.

See the rest of Lauren's collection on her pinterest.

 I am so excited that A Détacher updated their website with a small selection of homewares and an archive!  

I used the gentlewoman as an example for a forthcoming project with my students. Thank you Renee!
