♡ LOVEFOOL♡

I can't care 'bout anything but you...









I usually look more like this... 
and this.
It finally feels like autumn here in LA, and that means I get to bring out my big sweaters and bundle up. I left my warmest sweaters in Chicago as I don't think I'll need them, but I brought a few back with me and I'm so happy I finally get to wear them! 
This romantic maroon sweater is from Brandy Melville. I got it at a thrift store in Palm Desert a few years ago and it's been a staple in my wardrobe ever since. I try to avoid wearing pants at all cost, so with the sweater I paired my black pencil skirt and black thigh high stockings. Although these stockings almost immediately got a run in them, I still love them and plan to wear them until they fall apart. (Gives them a little more "life", don't you think?) To complete the look I wore my Jeffrey Campbell Lita's. Comfiest. Heels. Ever.
School became a bit stressful, as I was really sick last week and couldn't make it everyday. Luckily, though, everything is back on track and I'm back to my regular schedule. These next few weekends I'll be in Palm Springs- hopefully I'll find some time to shoot out there as it is so beautiful and basically my home away from home. 
Stay warm!

HOUNDSTOOTH













This past month back in LA has been hectic to say the least. With classes starting, my first Stay Dripped, and new career opportunities, I haven't had too much downtime. Regardless of my schedule, I'm having a blast being back and I was finally able to get out and shoot with my girl, Lee (velvetcloouds).
The top I'm wearing is a part of UNIF's Bad Sport Two Piece set. I'm absolutely in love with the top- it fits like a glove and I've always been in love with houndstooth pattern. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the skirt- its drop waist looks super weird on me, so I think I'm going to have to sell it. More information about that will probably be posted up on my Instagram soon so check back! I got the skirt I'm wearing at the UNIF Pop Up Shop last December. I love it because it's a comfy twist on the usual circle skirt and goes with just about anything. (Can you guys tell I have a thing for UNIF...? I can't help myself.) As for my shoes, I haven't been able to take off my white QOZMOS since I got to LA, I'm so obsessed with them. Have you guys seen the Black Glitter Qozmo's...? I need them in my wardrobe. 

My septum ring is from Vida Kush. They have a ton of beautiful jewelry that you can check out on their site, or at the Melrose Trading Post every Sunday on Fairfax. My bracelet is from Jemulet, a jewelry company in New York with their products being made in Italy. I seriously don't leave the house without it on. It goes with every outfit I wear, and they are even cuter when you layer them. Even with wearing it everyday, the fabric and sterling silver is still as strong and pretty as it was the first day I got it. They come in a multitude of colors with a wide variety of charms as well. I was lucky enough to have Jemulet ask me to collaborate with them, so as a gift to you guys, when you order one put in the code "kristen" at checkout and you'll get 20% off your order AND free shipping! 
Hope you guys had a fun Halloween! Now it's time for the fall and winter wardrobe to make an appearance!... Y'know, Los Angeles fall and winter.... aka my usual wardrobe with thigh high socks and big comfy sweaters. Bring on the hot chocolate.
