the jacket for all seasons
luckily, my partnership with SΓ©zane continues I decided to go with the SΓ©zane will jacket #gifted that iβve been eyeing for a while now and it comes in so many colors to choose from! i wasnβt sure how it would look on me due to length. turns out, i had nothing to worry about π it reminds me of a utility jacket but more sleek and structured. BTW, the utility jacket is my go-to travel jacket. i take it on every. single. trip. with me because honestly, it goes with EVERYTHING and it has functional pockets. i was hoping the will jacket would do the same in a more elevated way and it did not disappoint. the pockets are very deep and i love how the material keeps its structure since it is denim-like.
here, i decided to style it a couple of different ways. itβs all about versatility #amirite! iβve always wanted to belt something like this and i love how it turned out. you can layer it (even over a dress which i have always wanted to try), belt it, and wear it as a top itself like a button down. you can dress it up and you can dress it down. check out all four looks after the jump!
side ramblings: 2024. itβs been a slowwww start here full of self-care. iβve been enjoying spending time at home working on my paint-by-numbers, upgrading the home office, reading, playing mah jong, watching Modern Family with my parents, going down reddit thread rabbit holes about mechanical keyboards (new hobby) and trader joes (of course). itβs been a grand time!
invites + on the radar //
with this timely post, SΓ©zaneβs Austin pop-up opens on Friday, 03/08 at 1011 S. Congress Avenue Suite 130 (between Everlane and All Birds at Music Lane)! i was able to preview the store this past weekend and it is gorgeous. makes me miss Paris! i hope it becomes a permanent boutique in Austinπ€ hours of operation: Open Monday to Saturday: 10 am to 7 pm and Sundays: 11 am to 6 pm. stop by and check them out! itβs also a great way to try on their sizes if you are unsure and feel all their luxe fabrics and textiles!
i was invited into The Guest House // @welcometgh earlier this week and i gotta say, it was an AMAZING experience π― i loved all. the. dishes., the service, and the ambiance was 110% swanky. iβll be returning soon! dishes ordered: complimentary brioche (OMG LAYERED GOODNESS), steak tartare, traditional caviar service, parmesean truffle crusted filet, miso mushrooms, the garden dessert (a must), and the tres leches x tiramisu dessert! they will be opening the take away section soon (and i hope they have that brioche available!) and the little outdoor wine garden! so happy to see this space filled on 2nd street!
