"I am homesick for a place I'm not sure even exists. One where my heart is full, my body is loved, and my soul is understood." I came across this quote on a friend's instastory last week and it really resonates with me. In case you don't already know... I was living in the San Francisco Bay Area for 21 years before moving to LA on a whim less than a year ago. LA wasn't even in my radar. NYC was where I wanted to go but it would take more time to plan and actually move. If you ask me now "What's next?" I honestly don't have an answer. I have travelled to many places in the world but nothing feels like home. Paris might be the closest. I haven't truly figured out what it is but something about it feels different. Lately, it has been raining more than usual and I am feeling nostalgic so here are the rest of photos from Paris which I haven't yet posted anywhere...

When LA can't decide if it wants to be hot or cold, you have to be creative with what you wear. It is either 50°F one day and 80°F  the next or 50°F  in the morning and 70°F by noon. Layering is key but if you are running around all day from meetings to meetings you don't want to be lugging too many things. So, my solution is a combo of light layers with pieces that can keep you warm when it's cold but won't make you break a sweat when it's hot. This black lace romper is perfect to play with. It is dressy and feminine but I toned it down with an utility jacket. I styled it with a pair of over the knee boots which help shield the chill when the wind blows and this darling little faux fur hangbag I picked up at a boutique in Paris. But really though, LA weather, can you make up your mind please?
