Friday Fashion: It's a Liz Lemon Kind of Day

It's a Liz Lemon kind of Friday--the kind when you simply want to settle down and relax.  Does anyone remember the episode with Tracy's ruining Liz's dream vacation?  Her resort-esque outfit inspired me to create my version of a "Liz Lemon Resort" fashion.  

LizLemon

1. ZARA Dark Navy Sweatshirt ($40) 2. MANGO Jacquard Baggy Trousers ($70) 3. Alice+Olivia Leopard Pumps ($360) 4. MARC by Marc Jacobs Henry Dinky Watch ($150) 5. Warby Parker Liv Sunglasses ($95 w/o prescription; $150 w/)

The night would not be complete without a glass of sparkling juice/cider or moscato wine and charcuterie board. My favorite pairing would be the fig jam and brie cheese on brioche toast; a few thin slices of proscuitto add the needed extra punch with its savoriness.

What's your favorite Friday night activity?  Do share! Until next time then...

Have a fantastic Friday!

Love, Pristine Christine

Cheers to a long weekend full of merry fun...and... unexpected heat waves.  Never have I had to struggle to stay cool and breathe without huffing.  Surrounded by 3 beaches, I always feel the cool breeze brushing against my face--even in warm weather.  Well, that doesn't stop us from looking forward to Labor Day, right?  It's the one day post-summer that we can spend quality time with loved ones at a slower pace.  Go out and soak in some sun before Autumn relentlessly blows against Summer.  Whether you're going out on a date or with the fambam, you can still look hip without being formal.  Flirt with those fun colors before you have to pack them away for the season until next year.  

Tomorrow, I'll be sharing some Labor Day events and places to frequent in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, and Chicago (if you're near the areas) and posting the best chip-and-dip recipe ever.  Stay tuned!

Love,
Pristine Christine
