casual holiday wear with lika love

happy tuesday, everyone! 

today i am linking up with the adorable asa, from lace & pearls.

asa is a project manager for a local hospital by day, 

and fashion blogger in any and all of her free time!

asa and i connected via social media a few months ago, 

but we recently had the pleasure of meeting in person.

it amazes me what a kind and welcoming place the blogging

community can be. i feel like i have so many 'friends' - many 

of whom i have never actually met - only communicated with on the internet.

asa and i are fortunate to live about ten minutes away from one
another; it makes collaborations, like this one, as well as
coffee dates, swapping outfit ideas, and attending fashion-related events
together, easy!

for this shoot, we collaborated with malika, founder and owner of
local boutique, lika love. malika began her business
as a mobile fashion boutique - her red fashion truck can be spotted
around the city. in fact, i first met malika two years ago when walking along alki beach.
i saw the words 'fashion truck' and knew i had to go inside!

^^^ i love this girl! ^^^

and now, our outfits! asa and i made a trip 

to lika love, at the madison park location, this past weekend. 

we tried on almost everything in the boutique and had a

difficult time deciding what to bring home; everything was adorable! 

ultimately, we chose 'casual holiday-wear,' complete

with cozy sweaters, chic accessories, and ankle boots.
