Kai Aakmann keyhole drape sweater; LNA zipper leggings; Jeffrey Campbell potion boots

Slept in, ate a late lunch, went book browsing, to see Up in the Air, and came home to watch Dexter. No complaints.

Up in the Air was fantastic – highly recommend. Plenty of close-ups of George Clooney and his incredible bottom eyelashes (Ya, I’m a Clooney creep, so what?), but also great editing, great story, and great acting. A+.

My Kai Aakmann sweater was itchy at first, not sure if I just got used to it or if it has gotten better with wear, but I love it now. It’s warm and cozy, and I love the keyhole detail and random sling that make it more interesting than my other sweaters. And Jackie handed me down these LNA zipper leggings that go with everything.

I also spent some time this weekend wrapping gifts at United Cerebral Palsy. It felt really good to do something without needing or wanting anything in return. I love helping people, and the holiday spirit has officially kicked in. Not to get all preachy, but I really hope everyone will take some time to do something charitable this season (or any season). I don’t have much money to give, but there are plenty of other ways to help and I hope to do more in the coming year.

OH P.S. – I have an unworn pair of these Jeffrey Campbell boots (in a size 9) I’m looking to sell, so here are your first dibs! email me!

Last night I attended the GenArt Fresh Faces show at the Peterson auto museum (which was the biggest and most Bryant Park-like show of LA Fashion Month – which is officially coming to a close). The show was good, not mind blowing, but definitely some new(ish) designers who will become Urban Outfitters staples if they’re not already (Rory Beca, Seneca Rising, MG Black Label to name a couple).

After the show I bumped into a friend who had modeled in the show who introduced me to a friend that was so beautiful and tall I can only assume she is a model too.

So short story already too long, this girl had on the most amazing sweater. She couldn’t remember the Korean label, but said she found it in SF for $90. So the 3 of us proceeded to investigate her tag, and I made a mental note because I had to find it. And here it is (above) by Kai-Aakmann. I am in a wardrobe slump which I blame on numerous things: finances, jury duty (I’m going on day 8 in trial, bleh!), and the fact that back-to-school shopping no longer occurs in my adult life.

But, I deserve something nice (I have many exciting things to pat myself on the back for this month – more soon), and I think this will be it. Provided OAK gives me a price match or Revolve re-stocks in black).

EDIT: As the self-proclaimed queen of e-discount shopping, I put in a special order request at Revolve and they re-stocked! Got 30% off using the code TOBIINSTYLE30 – which had supposedly expired last week. $115 $80 + free shipping. Score? I think yes.
