This Dress is So Good, I'm Attending a Party as an Excuse to Wear It
You know the adage, All dressed up and nowhere to go? That's exactly how I felt the moment I slipped into this eye-catching, matte black dress. This one felt both flattering and sexy as soon as I slipped it on—so much so that I RSVPed yes to a party just so I'd have another ...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
It's hard to over-state how exciting the re-launch of the Shop was last week. After months of planning, it feels a little like our team's baby, made all the more special by the countless orders that came streaming in, followed a few days later by DMs from readers in their new ...read more
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
Meet the Owners Behind Some of Our Favorite Boutiques
Reading this blog—or any blog—you might think that when it comes to shopping, online is the only way to go. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Offline, there's an incredible team of small business owners with beautifully curated stores featuring cupcakes and cashmere ...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
A Sneak Peek at Our First Ever (!) Pop Up Sale in L.A. Coming This Month
I'm thrilled to announce that we're hosting our first ever (!) pop-up shop at the end of this month. As we gear up for our fall relaunch (which is coming very soon), we're cleaning out our warehouse and selling some of my favorite pieces from this spring and summer, as well as ...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
Without fail, there's always at least one piece per collection that takes off —more-so than any other style. And while there have been several best-sellers so far this season, it's the Mallory Dress that's gotten the most love across social media. The '70s-style dress, with its ...read more
Let's Talk About Bras
The other day in the office, our editorial team lunchtime discussion veered to bras—our favorite styles, how often we purchase them, and why it's so hard to find a perfect strapless option (a conversation that isn't entirely rare in a mostly all-women office, sorry G). After ...read more
The Outerwear I Plan to Wear Everywhere This Fall
We don't experience 'fall' in L.A. the same way other parts of the country do. Palm trees don't turn to brilliant shades of orange and gold, but the marine layer of clouds may stick around for a few hours longer, and the nights get noticeably chiller (even if our definition of ...read more
What I Wore to a New French Marketplace
About two years ago, we found out that a little French cafe/marketplace/bar/restaurant was set to open up in our neighborhood. I probably walked by and creepily drove past it dozens of times, waiting to see if its doors were finally open. So when we heard last week that they'd ...read more
The Next Best Thing to a Colorful, Crisp Suit
I've been scouring the internet for a colorful suit—something crisp and tailored, but in a playful shade like lilac or mint green (inspired by some NYFW looks). In the meantime though, I found something even better: a navy set that feels both professional and absurdly ...read more
How to Accessorize a Floral Dress (It's Both the Easiest and Trickiest Thing)
Here's the thing about floral dresses: They're both some of the easiest things to throw on because the print itself is an accessory, but also some of the most difficult things to dress up. The line between elevated and over-the-top is especially thin with any strong print, and ...read more
