Of all the items I purchased in December, this sweater and coat from Benaar LA are my favorites! This was my first experience with the brand and I’m so happy to have discovered it!

When I discover a new brand…especially one that I really like, I always like to know a little of the story behind it…

“Dreamed up while dressing herself and a friend one night for a party, Benaar LA was conceived many moons ago or maybe it had been in the consciousness of Sherli Mikail since her childhood in Iran. Benaar LA is Sherli’s curiosity, curation and unique eye.
Sherli’s spirit is a mixture of her culture, old and new. Inspired by the vibrancy of her Persian upbringing, Sherli brings intelligence, drive, her eye and taste to Benaar LA. Benaar LA is a hybrid: High and Low; Traditional and Outside of the Box; High Street and Downtown. 
Benaar LA celebrates modern sophistication, always with a hint of worldly travels, soirées to attend, dinners to arrive at, art to see, and friends and family to love and explore with.
It’s not just what she wears, it is her curation, how she sees it, how she pulls it all together…on her body or in her life, a full expression of herself. A full expression of her version of womanhood.”

As you can see in the pictures, the details on this sweater and coat are exquisite and they are both so soft. I love the way they hang and I’ve worn them together in several different ways, including here with a sequined skirt. I reach for these pieces often because they are so versatile…they look great with jeans and a sequined skirt and I always get compliments when I wear them! The sweater can even be worn with the bows in the front or the back!

The jeans I’m wearing are mid-rise flare jeans from AG and my booties are from Brochu Walker. Keep scrolling for a few items from Brochu Walker and Benaar LA that I think you’ll love!

And a puppy update! Archie arrived yesterday around noon and he is precious! He and Amos are great together and it’s going well! He slept between the pillows last night and Amos slept on my feet and we only had to go out once at around 2 am! He really is the cutest thing and I’m so happy he’s joined our family!

Thanks so much for reading and have a great day!
