Mixing prints in Venice

Alfred knows.. But first, coffee

Dining under the sun at Eveleigh

Dress- Rory Beca (old but I like this one), shoes- Seychelles, blazer- vintage (similar here)

There's nothing fantastically exciting about this dress. It looks like a million other silk versions (or knockoff polyester versions) you have seen before. It was an impulse buy at the Saks in Vegas, the last lonely one left on the sale rack at a price that was basically free. Of course it was also a couple sizes too big, but I actually prefer the bagginess to it that makes for the perfect opportunity for a tailored jacket to go over it. The shoes are ages old, but the perfect example of how to ease your way into mixing prints if you're still intimidated by it.

On this particularly beautiful day I got to stop at my favorite coffee bar in WeHo Alfred's Coffee. It was packed with MacBook users, mom's, and The Hills former castmates (talking about Miley Cyrus' birthday party, yawn). By the late afternoon it was time for a couple of cocktails overlooking the water on top of Hotel Erwin in Venice, and finally winding down the night at Eveleigh in their "treehouse" as the sun set during our meal. The food is meh (I'm pretty sure I can make better salmon), but the setup is awesome and the staff incredibly attentive.
