How is your week going so far! I just wanted to take this opportunity to share a few of my favorite spots on Melrose Place, since I tend to spend so much time there and talk about it on this blog:) Well, the first thing Emil and I do when we get there is head straight to Alfred Coffee & Kitchen for some cappuccino and croissants. I may have mentioned before that I have a weakness for cappuccino and the one from Alfred Coffee is my absolute favorite at the moment. Another reason I think why we like Alfred Coffee so much, is because of the cute little sitting area outside. Both Emil and I always have our laptops with us and prefer to do our work outside. Don't really know why, but we are much more productive this way:) Once we get our caffeine fix, we tend to wonder around a bit, which inevitably leads to shopping. Well, at least it does for me:) I fully admit Emil may be a little less enthusiastic about this part! </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQKUvO30fQK1fKt4h0i9zKpwfzV8_PuPz_5UD9X-0FFTaXUvCUQE7cVJduIc5Lz_sp95Lp_qf2eUhuu1MqzIfVXJnSIw8Nk4I47G6KcMuonxERGGx0MzDNjTQPnCh1cZKlocZ4pYOn50/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQKUvO30fQK1fKt4h0i9zKpwfzV8_PuPz_5UD9X-0FFTaXUvCUQE7cVJduIc5Lz_sp95Lp_qf2eUhuu1MqzIfVXJnSIw8Nk4I47G6KcMuonxERGGx0MzDNjTQPnCh1cZKlocZ4pYOn50/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la-10.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i></i></div><a name="more"></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><i>Though there are a few stores I usually frequent, my current favorite is Elodie K. I first discovered it when my friend Belen was visiting me from Spain. We popped in to look at shoes and I think we both pretty much fell in love. For me, it was definitely seeing all of my current obsessions in one place! You know how I feel about Sophia Webster heels and Illesteva sunnies, but Elodie K also has a really good selection of Sara Battaglia bags, floowy dresses and absolutely extraordinary beautiful jewelry (some of which I am wearing in today's post). At this particular moment I am lusting over at least 3 pairs of sandals and 4 bags! What can I say - shoes & bags are definitely my weakness:)</i></i><br /><i><i><br /></i></i><i><i>Emil and I shot a few of these images at Croft Alley, a new </i>restaurant opening on Melrose Place in a few weeks. We got the opportunity to check out the space and get a bit of a tour. Warm and rustic, the space looks and feels incredibly inviting. So, if you are a fan of Melrose, I definitely suggest checking it out! </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><i><br /></i></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEzrb0vNDpbpVZhHHiK5lLvwuehsuR2-7ZfQAxIo6enOFWgGeSfvhWcsF8IbqIjdAebm5h8tQYrqrZpRJCC8OAgQLf6exwURgch2-GC7r7M6HhwzvUr-Va16Xg6DHEUOsvD78JRZnrHdk/s1600/fashion+blog_vivaluxury_la-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

I hope your week is going great so far! I am so excited to share yet another post from my year-long collaboration with Nordstrom Rack as part of #ShopGenius campaign. </i><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Every month, <b><a href="http://bitly.com/1f8bIs" target="_blank">Nordstrom Rack</a></b> highlights new trends and the month of June is all about bohemian-chic, characterized by graphic prints, stacked statement jewelry, soft neutrals and of course my personal favorite - jumpsuits!:) Why do I love jumpsuits so much, you ask? Well, because I think they are that quintessential must-have item no Summer wardrobe can go without. Completely versatile, you can take a jumpsuit to the beach or to cocktail hour, paired together with a tailored blazer and some cute heels. So naturally, when I thought about styling a perfectly effortless, bohemian-inspired look, a jumpsuit was the first thing that came to mind. I got this gorgeous graphic-printed Juicy Couture number at <b><a href="http://bitly.com/1f8bIs" target="_blank">NordstromRack.com</a></b> for 50% OFF + FREE SHIPPING and definitely had another one of those "YAY" moments! Cause I don't know about you guys, but I am definitely a bit of a shopping thrill-seeker and get really excited when I find something I love at a really great price. Now, I did mention why I like jumpsuits ( or it's mini version - the romper ) in general but the reason why I love this one in particular is... and here comes my confession of a shopping genius... I Believe in Fine Print!:) Though I do occasionally wear big & bold prints, normally I favor the softer & finer prints for their wearability and understated elegance. How about you guys? Bold or Understated? </i><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>P.S. I would love to hear about your amazing finds at Nordstrom Rack!

How is your day going so far? </i><i>A few weeks days ago, as I was getting ready for bed and finishing up my nightly beauty regimen, it suddenly dawned on me that I never did a post specifically dedicated to what it is that I do to take care of my skin. So, I decided to "come clean" and take this </i><i>opportunity to walk you through my daily skin-care routine. </i><i>Currently, I am using <b><a href="http://www.burtsbees.com/Nature%27s-Retoucher/brightening-landing,default,pg.html?cm_sp=HPA2-_-Brightening-_-060114" target="_blank">Burt's Bees Brightening</a></b> line of products. Now, I really like </i><i>Burt's Bees products in general ( Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream and Lip Shimmer in Watermelon are among my all-time favorites ) but the r</i><i>eason why I love this line is because it's made with natural ingredients, which is really important to me for </i><i>I believe that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it! Additionally, as I have previously mentioned I am not too keen on wearing foundation, so making sure that my skin looks even is really important. And Burt's Bees Brightening line helps to even out my skin tone and get rid of those pesky little dark spots on my nose and cheeks (evidence of my recurring sun-worshiping habits:)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i><i>So, without any further ado, here is my morning and evening skin care routine step-by-step.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDSBJ1zxYMwCS1acjtmVBRQCFFAh5dTG6q7Uyp8qOkAvb5rV_5cCqQWcxtl0NMUM2K7-HdZnbBN6i-9HiLOZuoHokAuck7nAt_4B5eTsuBOY-ArmtMx-6h62CJf9NG0yXqzBpRGYFWtA/s1600/vivaluxury_prod.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDSBJ1zxYMwCS1acjtmVBRQCFFAh5dTG6q7Uyp8qOkAvb5rV_5cCqQWcxtl0NMUM2K7-HdZnbBN6i-9HiLOZuoHokAuck7nAt_4B5eTsuBOY-ArmtMx-6h62CJf9NG0yXqzBpRGYFWtA/s1600/vivaluxury_prod.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a name="more"></a>STEP 1:<i> I begin by washing my face with Burt's Bees Brightening daily facial cleanser to remove make up and oil.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! </span><span style="font-style: italic;">The one thing I have learned very quickly since moving to California is that no matter how warm it is during the day, once the sun goes down, the temperature almost certainly drops, so a jacket is a must. Normally, for casual looks I just throw on a leather jacket or a blazer, but dressier looks tend to be a bit more problematic. Though I like combining dressy pieces with leather jackets, sometimes I feel the impact of the piece gets lost covered up with something on top, which is perhaps why I am so obsessed with the set I'm wearing in today's post. </span><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Of course these pieces could be worn separately, but I absolutely love the impact they create paired together, not to mention the jacket definitely kept me warm on a chilly Pasadena night! </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfGtHJybiMR2xsiIOPd13rKBJU1ajU4ZrL64cB2swYPK7wspstZEPnqyQHaeqaVP3QoYq1CuGjAxPcVlt1ecpKnGJq3uS8d3o64uZtdkBv7PAEbu11t5M8MqdY5QAoaPRoIEmbG8B-Gu0/s1600/vivaluxury.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfGtHJybiMR2xsiIOPd13rKBJU1ajU4ZrL64cB2swYPK7wspstZEPnqyQHaeqaVP3QoYq1CuGjAxPcVlt1ecpKnGJq3uS8d3o64uZtdkBv7PAEbu11t5M8MqdY5QAoaPRoIEmbG8B-Gu0/s1600/vivaluxury.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><i>Though I think the black, white and red print would look great with a variety of colors, today I wanted to make the gorgeous abstract print the focal point of the look.
