VENICE BEACH COMFY FEELS!

Hello everyone,

Today I'm coming at you from a state full of gorgeous beaches, beautiful street art, the cutest little shops/restaurants and a sunshine that always sets in dreamy colors, perfect for plenty of opportunities for good Instagram photos. That's right, I'm speaking of California, particularly Venice Beach. If you follow me on Instagram you already know that because there I mentioned about this exciting travel blog post, so to save you from not missing any more hints and lots of breathtaking beach photos (I'm a beach lover) come follow me on INSTAGRAM! 

I know 100% we'll have a blast and you'll be able to get to know me outside of my blog as real BFFs.

I've been to California countless times, but on this particular trip I was there only for one day (I know, I wish I could have stayed longer), so I decided to stop by Venice Beach because I've heard wonderful things about it and it was the one beach that I haven't been to yet. It's so versatile, alive, and different from any other place I have been to - I immediately fell in love with it and it gave me the idea to create a comfy California style outfit that you can wear in the fall from having brunch with your girlfriends to walking by the beach in the California sunshine.          

I'm sure many of you will agree with me that when it comes to feeling comfy during the chilly days we always draw towards a nice cozy sweater or a wool knit cardigan. That's exactly why I picked to style my California inspired look with a cable knit cardigan which has a hoodie. Thanks to my over-sized cardigan that feels and looks like a blanket wrapped around me, I was able to stay extra warm on this surprisingly very windy day. Not only for outside wear, but I also love to snuggle in it when I'm at home watching TV or working on the computer (typing away a future blog post) which is always fun and puts me in a good mood. 
Underneath I added a basic tank top because you know how these days the weather is very unpredictable ( going from hot to cold), so you can always take off the cardigan for a little tan :)

California, being known for its relaxed style, I knew I wanted to portray that by adding ripped jeans that look like jeans, but are actually the most comfortable jeggings. They stretch for days, which is so great because when on the beach you never know what activity you might run into like playing volleyball, bicycling from beach to beach, walking or even running. Once on Venice beach I was able to try my hand at the muscle equipment particularly the rings, which has always looked easy, but turned out so hard ( I was able to last for a few seconds), but it was so fun and I'm sure with some more practice I would last a lot longer. There's just so much you can do at Venice beach that some nice jeggings like the ones I'm wearing will take you a long way, all day.      

Now I couldn't pass the chance to wear my most comfy shoes because they suit the rest of the look so well. They're my fall/winter favorite wedge booties in dark brown. Not only are they good with skinny jeans, but also tights and skirts (basically anything you desire).    

When it comes to accessories, well you know that I'm all in, but on this day I kept it very casual with the addition of a cozy scarf around my neck and cute tiny stud earrings. During the fall/winter I mostly accessorize with warmer items like scarfs, gloves and hats ( letting my jewelry take a breather from all the wearing in the spring/summer) This way after a long break, I'm ready to jump in and appreciate them even more for all that they do for me :)
