The Look: Freja Beha Erishsen for Mo & Co. Spring '14

Hello, chill weekend wardrobe! You have always been my favorite. I love the way you exist in a ripped-jeans world where James Dean meets Jane Birkin with a side of Martin Sheen in Badlands. This weekend I will be adding a little Freja Beha Erichsen into the mix, because a sporty tee and messy hair is exactly what I need after a long work week. 

The Face: Prada Amber Pour Homme

I know, I know--it's a men's cologne! But give me two seconds to explain why walking into a shimmering cloud of Prada Amber Pour Homme is a genius idea. The deep scent smells just enough like a dude to give you visions of Josh Harnett upon first spritz, but after letting it sink in, it has a very refreshing, lively feel that is totally feminine. Just give it a try, I promise you'll love it. 

The Inspiration: Karlie Kloss in The Edit

Yesterday morning, I sat staring into my closet wondering why I don't have a black turtleneck to pair with washed-out denim overalls, and now this morning I see Karlie Kloss in my exact dream outfit in Net-a-porter's weekly magazine, The Edit. Coincidence? Probably, but it's only making me want the boy-meets-girl-meets-spy (because all spies wear black turtlenecks) look even more. Summer be damned, I'm going to be covered up and cozy.

The Song: "You Can" - Tearjerker

There's nothing that I love than a simple repeating melody that comes with chanting vocals and some '60s-style good vibes, so obviously I am very into the latest track from Canadian band, Tearjerker. It's the sort of song that's perfect for listening to over headphones for a sunny walk to blasting on your car speakers with all the windows rolled down. Take a listen below and hear the audio magic for yourself.
