Yuri tights

(Silence & Noise cami, Myne skirt, F21 tights, Jeffrey Campbell shoes)

I moved to L.A. last July, and a month or two later stumbled upon Yuri Japanese Café on Melrose Avenue, where I am now a proud regular customer. They serve out of this world teas (my favorite is the cookie tea and yes, it tastes every bit as good as it sounds!) and a killer spicy tuna roll.

Last night, I visited the café with some dear friends (shout out to Tammi who patiently took pictures of me!) who thought I’d worn my hot pink tights in honor of Yuri’s pink lighting. This wasn’t the case, but I’m glad of the coincidence! If you’re in the Los Angeles area, definitely stop by Yuri and check it out. Pink tights not required.

Sampling Myne

Last week, my friend told me about an awesome Daftbird and Myne sample sale in the Los Angeles Apparel Building downtown. I'm so glad that I stopped by because I picked up some awesome pieces that will bulk up my winter wardrobe and will be easy to incorporate into my spring outfits as well! I bought this navy silk shirtdress from Myne's Fall 2008 collection, which I thought would go well with these strappy Guess boots and a pair of patterned tights. The soft cowl neck draping, small gold buttons, and side pockets are the kind of thoughtful details I appreciate in clothes... so I'm glad it's all Myne!
