outfit: #BCSummerRoadtrip + enter to win 6 pairs of bc shoes!

it’s officially summertime, and this week i’ve teamed up with bc footwear to kick off the bc summer roadtrip! you can follow along as 8 different bloggers in 8 different cities share their favorite local spots. i’m representing los angeles, but since it’s such a massive city and i’ve only been living here for a little under a year, i decided to focus on my own neighborhood of los feliz. so i put together a fun summery outfit with my new line up sandals for a little stroll around barnsdall art park. it’s a favorite spot to go on walks or to have a little picnic with a stunning view of the city all around. they have a famer’s market every wednesday, and i usually stop by to pick up fresh fruits and veggies for the week before heading back home along vermont ave and stopping in at a few favorite shops.

see.
barnsdall art park – this little gem of a park has it all: the architecturally stunning hollyhock house, a huge roster of art classes, a stunning view, and a farmer’s market every wednesday
griffith observatory – a roadtrip to los angeles just wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the griffith observatory for touristy photos and a killer view
los feliz theater – this charming historic theater plays a great selection of indie flicks

shop.
squaresville vintage – there are a ton of vintage shops in the neighborhood, but this one is the closest to my house. i always have to duck in to see if they’ve got something new.
steven alan outpost – what’s better than steven alan? getting awesome deals at the steven alan outlet!
skylight books – in this digital age, there’s something so refreshing about browsing through books at the local indie book shop.

eat.
house of pies – nothing like a late night slice of pie a la mode at a divey diner.
little dom’s – i may be slightly addicted to their blueberry ricotta pancakes.
the punchbowl – it’s hard for me to resist stopping in every day for their “greena colada,” a smoothie made with kale, avocado, pineapple, and coconut.

and now for the part you’ve been waiting for… bc footwear is giving away 6 pairs of shoes to one lucky winner. you can enter below now through june 3 and you can increase your odds with 8 different chances to enter! simply visit the bc summer roadtrip page to follow us along and enter on each blog. then on june 27, bc will compile all of the entries from every blog and choose one lucky winner! us residents only.

ENDED a giveaway from cardigan new york!

it’s that time of year when all i wanna do is snuggle up in a cozy sweater, even here in la where the temperatures aren’t quite so chilly. which is why i’m pretty excited about my latest giveaway courtesy of cardigan! this new york-based brand started at the helm of lynn hiriak, whose obsession with cardigans and knitwear started back in her high school days when her daily uniform consisted of a cardigan in navy or yellow every day. the collection has since expanded into a complete ready-to-wear line, but still with a focus on amazing knits. i personally own the marc sweater dress and can’t believe how luxurious it feels.  it looks just like a classic pullover, but it’s constructed out of 100% merino wool for the softest knit i have ever owned. so get ready, because we’re offering you the chance to win any one item from their online shop!

ENDED enter to win $150 to erica weiner jewelry!

for whatever reason, i’ve been obsessed with jewelry lately (i even have a pinboard dedicated to all things shiny). so when erica weiner contacted me about teaming up for the holidays, i was over the moon! erica got her start studying art history at vassar college, then headed out into the world as a costumer for broadway shows before she settled back into nyc and began her career as a jewelry designer. she began first making jewels in her brooklyn home, but quickly gained a following that allowed her to expand into the business she has today. most of the chains, charms, and findings in her pieces are reconstructed vintage finds. or else they cast jewels using found objects, making the entire operation eco-friendly and unique. what i like best is that the erica weiner collection is filled with fun, quirky jewels all priced below $200 making them great, affordable holiday gifts. and today we’d like to offer you the opportunity to win $150 towards any in-stock items in the erica weiner collection!

to enter: simply visit erica weiner and tell us which item (or items) are your favorite!
