You know those mornings when you wake up and you just feel off? That was me yesterday. In high school, my friend and I used commiserate about the same thing and thought that it was best not to even try to look presentable (which, back then, meant sparkly eyeliner and butterfly ...read more
I own so many striped pieces (you can see a fraction of them here) that it was only a matter of time until I started wearing them together in the same outfit. While most of the striped items I have are more casual (like this, this, and this) I love that this blouse is a more ...read more
The humidity that swept across the east last week has finally landed in L.A. I wore a variation of this outfit for pretty much the entire time - a flowy top and flouncy skirt - and since jewelry felt too constricting, I wore it in my hair. ...read more
I've had this top for a while (seen here, here and here), yet somehow it still holds just as much appeal as it did two years ago. It goes to show that it's not about the price of an item, but more about how you mix and match high and low pieces. This bag has also become a new ...read more
For the first time in what must have been months, I truly relaxed this past weekend. I didn't turn on my computer, I avoided my office, and all of my pending bills/emails/phone calls remained unanswered. And it felt really great. I slept in (something I never do), ate bagels ...read more
The weather in L.A. has been oddly cold, which forced me to pull out winter clothes that I'd already stored under the bed. This coat turned out to be one of my better purchases this past summer (last seen here) and is great for someone who has such little tolerance for chilly ...read more
Yesterday I had the pleasure of viewing Anthropologie's new bridal line, BHLDN (which officially launches on Valentine's Day). It was such a romantic afternoon; filled with champagne and sweet treats, with lots of dresses, shoes and accessories. BHLDN (pronounced "beholden") ...read more
The weather in L.A. has been bitterly cold (at least by California standards) and I've made the mistake of going out in whispy layers more than once. The backseat of my car is kind of a graveyard of nubby sweaters and forgotten scarves, so I threw on this spotted one so I didn't ...read more
When I pack for Palm Springs, there are hardly any neutrals in my suitcase. I love to embrace the bright colors of the desert and dress accordingly in sunshiney yellows, vivid oranges with red lips at night. The weather was hot and dry this weekend and I brought along some light ...read more
We arrived yesterday evening in New York and despite reports of rain, humidity, thunderstorms and tornadoes (which prompted a mild panic attack), the weather couldn't have been more perfect. I love warm, balmy nights so we dropped off our luggage, slipped into some fresh clothes ...read more
I'd been reluctant to embrace the light denim trend since it reminded me too much of my acid-washed days of 2nd grade. When I was in J.Crew though, I couldn't resist this chambray shirt that feels like your boyfriend's button down, but in a more manageable size. As it turns out, ...read more
My closet is predominantly overrun by stripes. While they're certainly not the most flattering of patterns, I find myself scooping them by the armfuls. This weekend I found this nautical skirt at Anthropologie and promptly changed in the dressing room so that I could wear it out ...read more
Saturday was one of those gloomy days that was impossibly long and disappointingly unproductive. See, we've been missing a place for guests to sit in our living room for quite some time. Remember when we bought these and spruced them up? On the other side of our coffee table ...read more
Despite my excitement for the Barneys warehouse sale last week (here), I left the convention center empty handed. Seriously, without a thing. I even stalked a girl for a solid 20 minutes who held in her arms what might have been the perfect dress. The moment she decided against ...read more
I might have jumped the gun by wearing this gauzy dress at the first signs of sun this weekend. Though the air was amazingly clean after all of the rain (a rarity in L.A.), it was still brisk enough to have worn a down jacket and been perfectly comfortable. On another note, I ...read more
After I got back from dinner late last night, I decided it was the perfect time to fish our ornaments out from storage and decorate our tree. Unfortunately, minutes after hanging the last of our glittery snowflakes and mirrored balls, my cat shimmied up the tree and promptly ...read more
Dear Anthropologie,I'm positively smitten with your latest catalog. I'm not even a fan of snow, but the images of that house filled with powdery goodness made me actually consider buying some of that fake stuff sold by creepy guys at the mall. Perhaps they only sell faux snow in ...read more
The next best thing to staying in bed is wearing a plush shawl that easily passes for a blanket. I found this faux pony hair poncho at Pixie Market a few summers ago and despite the oppressive heat at the time, I knew it would become a staple during cooler months. It's a great ...read more
Wish Dress, Foley +Corrina Bag, Anthropologie Headband, Switch Ring, Sam Edelman Heels A few months back, when I visited Wish studios, I picked out this little dress as a way to fulfill my ice skater fantasies. The sweet ruffles, periwinkle color and cinched waist are great for ...read more
Have you ever seen someone wear something and it looks so utterly fabulous on them that you simply must try it for yourself? Zara Top, H&M Studded Skirt, Anthropologie Necklace, F21 Watch and Heels, Essie 'Punchy Pink' Polish, MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick, Gryson BagHere is my ...read more
Kaitlyn Dress, Anthropologie Scarf, Vintage Belt, Urban Outfitters Sandals In L.A. when you visit a busy restaurant for dinner, you can rely on long waits and angry patrons spilling out onto the sidewalk. Not the case in Maui. After we were told the wait for a table in the sand ...read more
Every once in a while, a store will come out with a collection that's simply flawless. That's how I feel about Anthropologie's current crop of cozy knits and textured pieces. They all have a wonderful romantic air to them, but manage to come across as slightly worn in at the ...read more
I've long been a fan of Anthropologie for their vintage-inspired dresses and store displays that are so pretty, I'd be happy to move right in. Since their clothes are so tempting, I almost always overlook their incredible selection of bedding, kitchenware and bathroom accessories ...read more
My friends would probably say that I have a slight addiction to cereal. This has nothing to do with the fact that I can't cook worth anything, but to me, it's simply the perfect meal. Since others find it kind of depressing when I eat Cheerios for dinner, I compensate by using ...read more
