A Killer Black Jumpsuit (Plus 5 Must-Try L.A. Restaurants Worth Wearing It To)
Living in L.A. means that on any given night, dinner can either mean casual activewear or an opportunity to get fully dressed up. Last night, I opted for the latter in an uncharacteristic move for a Monday, and wore this jumpsuit to a work dinner at Bavel, a favorite ...read more
Should You Wear Sequins After New Year's Eve?
We're all familiar with the fashion 'rules': no white after Labor Day, don't wear black with blue, no denim on denim (the list could go on forever). But I've always considered those rules to be extremely loose guidelines, at most. The fact that we're supposed to wear sequins up ...read more
Apparently We're Just Kate Middleton's Style (And We're Flattered)
This morning, a reader wrote into our info inbox with pretty much the most flattering note we could have received: Kate Middleton is all about a plaid coat, and People Magazine suggested ours as the best way to get her look (see screenshot below!). True, Kate wasn't wearing our ...read more
The Importance of Taking Some Time for Yourself This Season
The holidays are my favorite time of year because of the fact I get to spend so much of them with family. Every season, we make memories I know I'll cherish for a lifetime, but too much of any good thing can become overwhelming at a certain point. Something I realized early on ...read more
Yes, You Can Pull Off a Velvet Hair Bow
Lately, Sloan has been all about a hair accessory—whether a velvet headband or luxe bow—which actually makes things easier on me. She could be wearing anything (incidentally, she's also been very into dressing herself), yet still look pulled-together for school. And the same is ...read more

The Heavy-Hitting Holiday Piece I Can’t Get Enough Of
Last week, I attended a 'Holiday High Tea' with girlfriends, with a very specific dress code: velvet. Normally, I would be thrilled about this—I've always been a fan of the fabric for its luxe festive feel, especially this time of year. The only problem is that I'd just worn my ...read more
How I'm Styling the Ballerina Sweater Trend
I'm not usually one to pair multiple trends in one outfit, but I couldn't resist pairing two very current pieces: a black ballerina sweater and leather skirt. In the case of the sweater, my immediate instinct was to lean into its feminine vibe, with a tulle skirt, but the look ...read more
I Thought I Hated Turtlenecks Until I Found This One
I wasted a lot of great holiday outfits by being afraid of faux leather leggings and turtlenecks. Usually I find turtlenecks to be too bulky, and far from flattering, but the shoulder detail on this one adds a bit of interest and keeps the entire look from feeling too bulky. ...read more
The Outerwear You Probably Didn't Know You Needed (Until Now)
Whether you're someone who would throw a blazer over your favorite pair of black slacks, or over a sequin dress to downplay the girly-ness of it, a white blazer is the item you probably didn't know you needed in your closet, especially for the holidays. This piece works ...read more
Why This Piece is (Literally) My Dream Coat for the Holidays
If I could dream up a coat for the holidays, it would be this one—which is exactly what happened, actually. Last season, I searched everywhere for a plaid coat to wear at Christmas with my parents and to a few events in New York. I wanted a knee-length jewel-tone coat that ...read more
It's Officially Sequin Season (Here's What I'm Kicking it Off With)
It's no secret I'm an enormous fan of a sequin anything. Like lighting my favorite holiday candle on the first of November, and putting on my favorite Christmas songs (John Legend's new album has been on repeat this year), throwing on sequins never fails to get me into the ...read more
Here's What You Bought and Loved During the Shop's First Week

Our Top 9 Picks From The Shop Relaunch (And Why We Think You’ll Want Them Too)
Okay, so we may be a bit biased... but we love our Shop. And despite the fact that we each have distinctly different styles that run the gamut from tomboy to unapologetically feminine, we all regularly arrive to the office wearing items from the Shop (working at cupcakes and ...read more
With This Blouse, It's All About the Details
Like any large city, LA is constantly evolving. In the time since our office was located downtown just over a year ago, many of the stalls have changed at the food hall we used to frequent, which we re-discovered during a recent team lunch. What doesn't change in L.A. is the ...read more
Silk Standard (With a Twist)
There's something so nostalgic about visiting an old diner. I recently visited one of my favorite older diners in Los Angeles, which still has menus painted on the walls from the 1940s (when a beer was 20 cents). I ordered a vanilla milkshake, naturally, while we snapped photos ...read more
The New Power Suit
I've been ready to embrace the whole suit look for a while, but have yet to make the commitment. Part of me wants to go for a fun color—an olive green, cherry red, or periwinkle blue, but I question if I'll tire of the bright shade too fast. So for the time being, I'm revisiting ...read more

You Probably Already Have This Fall Look in Your Closet
Jeans and a sweater is a far from revolutionary combination (and one that can sway dangerously close to Mom Jeans), but with a few swaps, it can also become a pulled-together, casual look for fall. When I wore this to the office and a day of meetings last week, I started with a ...read more
The Best Accessory For a Neutral Outfit
Since I'm such an avid fan of cats, I think people sometimes assume that I'm not much of a dog person. It couldn't be further from the truth though, which is why I'm thrilled to get to spend so much time with our office dog, Alexa, every day of the work week. She belongs to our ...read more

The Fall Trend I Can't Stop Wearing
I mentioned my newfound obsession with prints a while back, and it's shown no signs of letting up. In fact, my approach has become even a little more laid-back, taking on a bit of a western spin with flat booties in lieu of pointy-toe kitten heels. Instead of it leaning more ...read more
Why I Almost Didn't Wear This Sequin Skirt
Last weekend, I waited until the last possible minute to decide what I was going to wear to the Veuve Clicquot polo match, and the three things I was considering just did not work. One of those items was actually this gold sequined skirt, which I love, but it would have been a ...read more
The One Dress for Fall That Looks Good on So Many Readers
