i wear black all year round...

living in la, i noticed that not many people wear black. (such a shame). day or night, i do it anyway because i still have new york city running through my veins. sometimes i really just want to wear a fabulous black dress. jessica stein from my new favorite blog, tuula vintage, has inspired me with this amazingly gorgeous shakuhachi "block it" dress. the silhouette of this dress is to die for. if only i can find this in a lighter material so i can wear this bad boy all day, everyday. although, i definitely wouldn't mind this actual dress either.

david yurman.

arite, i know david yurman pieces are considered a "me too" piece kinda thing but i'm really obsessing over these two pieces. loving these sterling silver chunky chain necklace and bracelet.

note: a "me too" piece is like "hey i have that ring" and some other chick comes along and goes "me too". 

in short -- everyone has it.
