The smiling cat

Once you hit young adulthood, you realize how novel it is to not have a million things going on every weekend. This weekend was the first one in months where we didn’t have any plans. No traveling, no visitors, no wedding venue appointments. We spent the day at the SF aquarium (the otters are the cutest), went and saw a movie (Edge of Tomorrow—pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it!), and indulged in rich apps and libations.

I wore this outfit for our date night dinner, and added in some fun statement jewelry from La Chat Souriant (“the smiling cat”). Jewelry designer Kelley Hollis repurposes vintage jewelry into modern, unique pieces, and I’m totally smitten with them. This little daisy is actually a vintage locket that opens up—so darling! Flowers, peacocks and snakes are some of my favorite elements to find in jewelry, and La Chat Souriant’s pieces incorporate a lot of these natural themes. You can of course purchase pieces online, or stop by one of the boutiques that carries Kelley’s jewelry.
