(Vintage Denim Shirt, Heather Sequin Tank c/o Shop PR, gifted J Brand 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans, Zara Heels, Botkier Valentina Bag - in white, gifted Gorjana Cross Over Layere Necklace, gifted Alexa Leigh Necklace)

Love all the pastel toned jeans that are out today and this subtle lilac colored jeans couldn't be more perfect. I'm slowly collecting all of the colors that these J Brand jeans come in. Remember me wearing the pink, yellow, and red back in San Francisco?

On other news, I'm flying to Chicago today for my flea market tour with Macy's Bar III. We'll be hitting up the Randolph Street Flea Market so for those in Chicago, hope you can stop by and see all the goodies that Bar III has to offer!

P.S. Can't wait to eat some Chicago pizza!! Any favorites? xoxo

Heidi Middleton of Sass & Bide's Abode

noreply@blogger.com (Song of Style) — Thu, 24 May 2012 23:04:00 +0000

I've been obsessed with Sass & Bide ever since I've discovered it a couple of years back I've been secretly stalking the brand and the designers behind this Aussie brand. Imagine my delight when I found the above photos of Heidi Middleton's home on one of my favorite blogs Tales of Endearment!

Definitely "intuitive, nomadic, contradicted, spirited, modern and free"

First photo from here and more of her home here

Being an LA native, I've always been a Dodgers fan (between you and me, I did become a little bit of a Giants fan while I was in SF. shhhh) so when Wesley Mason took me on a baseball date last weekend, I channeled my inner baseball girl. I had too much fun eating unlimited food (and dessert) while sitting right above the dugout, hearing the baseball players chat (and swear) and most of all, when the Dodgers won. Yay!

It's no surprise that I'm just utterly attracted to hi-low skirts and how dramatic and feminine it looks even when paired with just a simple tank. Remember me professing my love here?

Hope you all had a great weekend and for those who were in LA did you see the solar eclipse?

I have an insanely busy week ahead of me with work. I'm also traveling to Chicago this weekend with Macy's Bar III which I'm uber excited about!! Any great places to visit in Chicago?

Isabel López-Quesada Elegant Villa

noreply@blogger.com (Song of Style) — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:00:00 +0000

I'm smitten with the beautiful outdoor area of Isabel López-Quesada's Villa in Madrid. Inside the villa, the balance between the old antiques and modern furniture with pops of color give out so much personality.

(Wesley Mason's Billabong T-shirt worn inside-out, Joe's Jeans High Water Jeans or here, Altered Zara Sandals, Maya Brenner California Necklace, Gorjana Crossover Necklace - love this one too, Anarchy Street Hamsa Bracelet, Vanessa Mooney Bracelet)

Today was so hot and I wanted to wear nothing and do nothing but in reality, I had too much stuff to do and I couldn't walk out the house naked. I thought about wearing shorts but these jeans that I got awhile back caught my eye. I think it was the color but it reminded me of berries and sorbets which instantly quenched my thirst in an odd way.

Can't wait until Friday. I'm going to a Dodger's Game!!!

Last week, I spent the day at Brimfield Antiques Market to look for some items for Monica Botkier's townhome. Unfortunately as soon as we got there it started pouring but my eyes quickly caught a pair of two mirrored decorative shelving units before the seller packed them away. Can't wait to see them in Monica's home!

Although running is not my thing (unless somebody is chasing after me or I'm running towards food) I couldn't resist picking these silk running shorts at Topshop last week when I was in New York.

Home of Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman

noreply@blogger.com (Song of Style) — Fri, 11 May 2012 14:00:00 +0000

My favorite part of this Victorian home by Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman is the layering of vintage objects she has throughout. They are collected yet far from being cluttered due to all the glass and natural palette items. Plus I really love dark floors in all white spaces.

My second stop with Macy's Bar III was the GreenFlea Market in Manhattan. It's quite interesting how different GreenFlea Market was compared to Hester Flea Market possibly because they are in different neighborhoods. The weather was perfect for a flea market and I went for a casual and sporty look. Our next stop is the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena on Sunday which is going to be amazing since it's like 10 times the size of normal flea markets (ok, I'm exaggerating.. more like 7 times. lol)

See you guys back in California! xo

I know, you hardly ever see me this low key and dressed just in basics. My schedule in New York is so hectic (in the most amazing way) and I tried to plan an hour shopping trip in between my meetings so I wanted to dress as comfortable as possible. Definitely made the most out of my hour shopping trip!

Meet my new style crush, Thando from FactoryPR. I love her effortlessly cool, edgy and androgynous style. Ever since I first met her (remember her A.Wang jacket from yesterday's post?) I've been style stalking her. I have the same Bar III floral top that she's rocking so I'm really inspired to recreate this look into my way.

Hester Street Fair with Bar III

(Blazer, Top, Shorts, Necklace, and Bracelets from Bar III)

First stop for my flea market tour with Bar III was Hester Street Fair. I couldn't believe the amount of people that came (thank you so so much to all my New York readers and visitors!!) and all the beautiful clothing and home goods we had (tons of pictures after the jump)

On Sunday, I will be at the Green Flea Market with Bar III again. Hope to meet more of you there! xo

Off to New York

(Zara Jacket, Tucker Blouse, gifted Obey Shorts, 3.1 Phillip Lim d'Orsay Heels, gifted Diesel Watch, Bracelets:Vanessa Mooney, Vintage)

Off to New York tomorrow with Macy's Bar III where I'll be visiting New York's Hester Flea Market on Saturday and the Green Flea Market on Sunday. It's my first time going to a flea market in New York so I'm excited, but even more exciting, Bar III is putting up a tent full of Bar III goodies! Hope you guys can stop by the flea markets and shop with me or even just drool over all the goodies Bar III has to offer!

The Peplum

(H&M Peplum Top, BDG Ripped Jeans, Zara Heels Altered by Me, Chanel Bag, gifted Kenneth Cole Watch, Bracelets c/o Wanderlust & Co, c/o Vanessa Mooney, Vintage, gifted Albeit Initial Necklace)

This lovely peplum top might be one of the most feminine things I own in my closet so I toned it down with some ripped jeans. I had a lot of you ask about my Zara heels. Like I've mentioned here, it originally had an extra strap in the middle which I got rid of.

Musing Mom, Arizona Muse

noreply@blogger.com (Song of Style) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 06:40:00 +0000

I'm pretty sure we're all hot for Arizona Muse, the 23 year old mom to a three year old (pictured above) and super model who started her career as a long haired blonde but didn't get attention until she dyed her hair and went short.

The short hair definitely brings out her features more (those brows!) and she's now in the May catalogue of J.Crew with her adorable son!

An Art Lover's Home

noreply@blogger.com (Song of Style) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:22:00 +0000

Nicole Hanley Mellon's apartment at The Plaza in New York is full of great art from different periods which makes her home so eclectic and fun. Although she says the huge art by Peter Beard (so is the one above the sofa) behind the bed was not a design choice the placement of it is quite intriguing.

The Kenneth Cole Event

noreply@blogger.com (Song of Style) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 07:39:00 +0000

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who came out to the Kenneth Cole store in Santa Monica last night. I met so many of my lovely readers who were all so sweet and stylish! It was so great to meet everyone of you (from long time blog readers that read my blog since the beginning to mom bloggers!)

By the end of the night my cheeks were hurting from smiling and laughing too much!

More pictures after the jump!

Thank you once again for coming out everyone and thank you so much to the amazing Kenneth Cole team (everyone one of you!) for the fun opportunity!
