hoot hoot

Blouse- Area (Boutique in Marina del Ray); Shorts- Ralph Lauren (Thrifted); Jean Jacket & Clutch- Thrifted; Heels- The Bay (Gifted); Bracelets- Aldo & A SweeT (Boutique in Beverly Hills); Ring- H&M; Sunglasses- Coach (c/o Marshalls)

Owls are majestic, intelligent and beautiful creatures.  I've only seen them in their natural habitat a handful of times so I rely on their cartoon versions (as seen in the wonderful movie The Owls of Ga'Hoole and on this fun, colourful blouse) to provide me with inspiration.  I love the floaty mullet cut on this top and how it matches pretty much everything in my wardrobe.





I wore the blouse with green shorts for a weekend dinner with friends and with a green jacket during the work week.  Because y'all know by now that I'm a colour addict!

  1. Super pretty! I love light and breezy tops like that in the summer, but they're also so versatile for the cooler temperatures.

  5. Emily you look fab in your sunglasses. I love them on you. I also love your green shorts which also look fab. I have an owl somewhere in my yard. I prayed that I would see him someday. I only hear him...it is so beautiful to listen to on a quiet night. Have a great weekend. dawn suitcase vignettes xo

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
