Accessorizing With Farbod Barsum…

One. Sophia Fuchsia Clutch :: Two. Genevieve Red Tote :: Three. 5-Pocket Lime Green Card Case :: Four. Empress Mini Violet Bag :: Five. Brigitte Jade Clutch :: Six. Slimfold Mykonos Wallet

And just like that…it’s summer time! Ok, well summer may officially start on June 20th, but the second Memorial Day Weekend passes, I am in a summer state-of-mind…which means N E W accessories to brighten up your wardrobe + really make a statement all summer long 😉 Although I am all about shopping on a budget, one item I was taught to never ever skimp out on is a quality handbag!

I got my first designer handbag when I was in the 3rd grade…a Louis Vuitton (my mama raised me with good taste…what can I say haha :p). Ever since then, I have had a long standing love affair with great quality designer bags, so when Farbod Barsum arrived in Beverly Hills, I knew I had to check him out, and a new obsession quickly began…brightly colored handbags + accessories made in the U.S. with the most exotic skins to make truly one of a kind pieces ♥ Maybe that is why the designer has so many loyal celebrity fans (Louis Roe, SJP + more)…If SJP approves of something, then you know it’s a ‘must have’ :p

The chic store located in Beverly Hills is filled with brightly colored bags, travel accessories + more that are perfect for any fashionista who wants to truly make a statement. Since moving to LA, I learned that you need to stand out. Every gal has a Chanel, a YSL etc. But I love to not follow the crowd when it comes to my handbags…go big or go home. If you are ready to invest in a stunning designer bag, why not pick a unique one that not everyone around town has…a bag speaks volumes. The right bag in a way is more than just a bag, it is an ice breaker, a conversation piece, an extension of your own personal style…Farbod Barsum understands how important great quality + design are when it comes to handbags + accessories, that’s why I am currently pinching my pennies + saving up to snag one of these beauties…I mean can you blame me? 😉

Check out more from Farbod Barsum here AND be sure to visit the gorgeous Beverly Hills store located at 9456 Dayton Way!

M o n d a y Blues…

Blue + White Preppy Polo Button Down : White Skinny Jeans : Cobalt Blue Satchel (similar) : White TopShop Camisole : Silver Double Strap Sandals (similar) : Black Cat Eye Sunglasses

Someone has a case of the M O N D A Y ‘ S…ok maybe it’s me and maybe you too? :p I had one heck of a weekend + I already can’t wait for the upcoming 3 day weekend that is just 5 days away (let the countdown begin) because I need some R&R like nobody’s business 😉 (got to look forward to something, right? haha)

Saturday, I headed to the famous Laugh Factory on Sunset (still can’t believe Sunset is only 5 minutes from where I live #surreal)…since laughter is honestly the best medicine for when you are feeling drained or need a little pick me up! Yesterday I headed to Kristi’s house for a Vera Bradley themed brunch to celebrate the launch of their new candle, soaps + fragrance sets! Pretty flowers, macaroons + popcorn…made for the perfect #SundayFunday! You can see more on my SnapChat – MissyOnMadison, Twitter + Insta <3

Here are some of my current favorites from the brunch:

Back to my outfit…My brother shot this look on me back in May when we were visiting USC (in true Missy fashion I needed to share my ‘college‘ style even though I graduated college years ago haha!) But…if I was still in school…this would be a great casual look!

Every gal needs a Preppy Striped Button Down like this one (similar)! Wear it buttoned up for a more polished look for the office or an interview, or wear it open with an easy camisole like this one for a more casual look with jeans, shorts or over a dress or skirt!

Since this was shot back in the spring, it was sandal season…although I still wear sandals like these (similar) even now during winter in LA (it ain’t NY cold so why not)! These sandals are from J. Crew Factory, but these silver Birkenstocks are really similar and very comfortable (is it bad I want to buy these too? #oops)!

My sunnies are from Nordstrom (similar here) + my cobalt blue bag is Kenneth Cole (currently sold out) but similar options below!

White Skinny Jeans : Vince Camuto Studded High Heeled Sandals (on my Poshmark here) : Long Sleeve Cold Shoulder Top (similar) : Ray Bans : Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.B Tote (on my Poshmark here)

Happy D E C E M B E R! I cant believe it’s officially the Holiday season + that it is December. My first December in LA…filled with sunshine, a light breeze and the ability to wear my summer + fall favorites year round…Y A Y! It’s still crazy to me to think I get to shoot outfits in Beverly Hills (this park is just a few hundred feet from the famous ‘Beverly Hills‘ sign that I see the TMZ Tour Bus stop by every time I am in the area — maybe they think I’m a celeb :p jk…one day right? #wishfulthinking).I have always favored white as my hue of choice when it comes to jeans. I am obsessed with white jeans — perfect to wear with sweaters, button downs, chambray tops and even with this cold shoulder blouse! I feel white looks so chic and wearing white jeans in the winter really makes a statement! Some of my favorite white jeans are here (btw they are at all different price points + fits)

Another trend I have been loving as of recent are cold shoulder tops. This one is from Kohls and is ~~no longer~~ available, but below are a few of my current favorites (I may or may not have ordered 1 or 2 of them #oops :p)!

As for the rest of my look…my blue Ray Bans are pretty much on every Holiday Gift Guide list + are great for any season — always have that extra ‘Pop Of Color’ :p

My Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.B. tote has now been updated + the new style is available in multiple colors at Bloomingdales here! (I am actually selling my rose gold one on my Poshmark here)

These Vince Camuto high heeled gladiator sandals are comfortable, chic and the nude hue is perfect for year round wear (oh yea and since there is ~~no snow~~ in LA, I can actually show off my pedicure year round + wear these :p)
