marrakesh nouveau

wearing Yoana Baraschi "Marrakesh Nouveau" Folk Caftan, Old Navy jeans, Frye heels, vintage mink hat, borrowed and vintage jewelry

My roomie works and models for Carina New York, an e-boutique that sells super feminine, classic pieces from designers like Yoana Baraschi and Bettye Muller. When I was recently given a chance to 'model' this gorgeous saffron yellow caftan, I did a little happy dance and quickly decided it would need to stay with me on a permanent basis. It's absolutely stunning both on film and in real life--the kind of piece that makes me want to drop everything and go on a Mexican vacation. It would look best with tanned legs and sandals, but since I live in San Francisco and it's always cold, I paired it with my favorite long flares to stay true to its carefree, beachy vibe.

And if seeing these pictures makes you want to snatch up this lovely top for yourself, the folks over at Carina New York are offering Style Porn readers 15% off with the promo code: STYLEPORN. They also offer free shipping AND free returns on all orders, so you basically have nothing to lose.

I so wish this belt was mine, but it isn't. The next best thing: it belongs to my Jewish soul-sister/bff/roommate and she lets me borrow it.

Oh, and ps I love Our Secret. They're having a 50% off sale now and I snagged this belt for a song.

spring shopping, ebay style

Who needs the mall? Ebay has the best selection of lace dresses, floppy hats, silver jewelry, and anything else my little heart could desire to achieve the perfect 70's boho look this spring. The only 'new' purchase I might need to make is for a pair of J Brand Lovestory bell bottoms.

easter sunday for jews

Torrential downpours, cozy fireside lounging, lemon pie, and lots of Kobe cuddles pretty much summed up my Easter. My outfit was an attempt to cope with the shockingly frigid temperatures while still holding on to some semblance of spring. Somehow this evolved into mixing as many prints as possible. I sort of like it.

My mom is a bitchin' cook. For dinner we had grilled lamb, Salmon with lavender and honey, minted peas with baby carrots and sugar snaps, and roasted fingerling potatoes. For dessert: lemon pie. And Peeps. So many Peeps.

Gotta start exercising.

This week I spent some time navigating the world at my god-given height of 5'3". I think it's the first time I've worn flats for a solid week in the past 10 months. Looking forward to propping myself up again--literally--on a pair of 5 1/2" Donna Karans tomorrow.
