here and there favorites

happy friday! 

it's been awhile since i penned a favorites post. i've got a good mix so i hope you'll enjoy checking them out. we've been waking up to an early morning cooler breeze so there's a bit of a fall season weather tease right here. i'm hoping it will be way cooler this weekend. we had heavy rains earlier this week which i think brought about this gentle breeze we feel early morning.

modern bohemia

there's a new sought after line of dresses and blouses from ukrainian designer Vyshyvanka by vita kin. i call them modern bohemia but they're really the designer's salute to folklore slavik and ukranian inspiration showcasing beautiful bell-sleeved silhouettes, intricate embroidery and darling tassels. the line is hard to find but will be in big fashion online retail stores net-a-porter (this is available) and matches may restock soon. they sell out quick and fast. stalk the designer's instagram, where she updates latest styles and designs. they frequently post where the line is currently available to buy!

fall preview

here's a lineup of what could possibly be my fall uniform. black jeans, tshirt and a light jacket. alternating with leggings and long sweaters. just the basics.

even though we're still here in 90 degree weather here, i can't help but dreaming about fall and cooler temps.

denim on denim

denim on denim is a great fall transition outfit. and who does this better than OP? olivia  is the master of mixing casual denim whether it's a skirt or a pair of jeans. throwing in some incredible shoes and accessories, her get ups are far from simple and mediocre. here are a few of my favorite denim looks from her :

shirt // sunglasses (similar for less $) // leather bracelet // bangle // bag

totes

target has been killing it on the bags and accessories department lately. all summer, they have been spot on. case in point - this oversized reversible tote that's great for travel and even for work everyday. i first spotted it in the store and immediately grabbed the fuschia pink one (reverses to taupe) and took it to our beach trip. it holds everything and travelled well even in the plane. 
it's a very clean and minimal tote but with all the gorgeous colors, it sure is a great workhorse of a bag with a bit of colorful flair. only under $37! you can't beat that! (click pic to shop)

fall preview
