In recent years, I've come to appreciate a strappy jumpsuit - it feels like a fresh alternative to a dress with the same convenience of throwing on one piece. This one, made of silk, is slinky in all the right places and I love that the jewel-tone colors keep it from feeling too ...read more
I've been slow to embrace the '90s-inspired trends that have been popularized over the last couple of years, despite how tempted I was to wear overalls while pregnant (I would have resembled a watermelon). But this piece is structured enough to look more like a bustier than like ...read more
Even though I was a complete tomboy growing up, as an adult, I haven't felt comfortable wearing sneakers when not doing some sort of physical activity for a while. But sometimes you want an in-between shoe that's not a sweet ballet flat or a broken-in bootie. I love that these ...read more
There's something about an iconic palm tree print that feels very old-school L.A. This one, done in a fuschia pop against a neutral leather skirt, is such a fun twist on a closet staple and an unexpected basic for spring. ...read more
For a long time, I was really intimidated by downtown L.A. Without fail, I'd find myself turning onto one-way streets or stumbling upon sketchy areas and opted to avoid the area almost entirely. But within the last couple of years, I've been heading down there with much more ...read more
I'm usually not a fan of long shapeless dresses, but when done in the right fabric and in a refreshing, seafoam green color, it's just about the most appealing thing to wear on a hot day. My parents surprised me on Friday for my birthday (which they've done in the past and I've ...read more
I bought these shorts a few weeks back as an alternative to cut-offs and they're so easy and comfortable that I've been wearing them pretty much nonstop. I paired them with a kimono-style blouse and some fun accessories, like tie-dye pumps, a vintage necklace, and a graphic ...read more
I feel like a good portion of what I own is practical. I have a lot of easy basics, most of which are in classic silhouettes and neutral colors. But sometimes it's fun to throw in a few pieces that don't exactly scream practicality (this sequined sweater, this feathered skirt ...read more
I didn't buy a lot of maternity clothing, simply because I disliked the idea of having a wardrobe full of things I could only wear for a specific amount of time. I did purchase a few stretchy dresses though, that I hoped would work with my bump and after giving birth. I bought ...read more
I've owned several pairs of black trousers over the years, but none of them have been entirely perfect. I still love this high-waisted pair, but they're so voluminous that they're not as versatile as I'd like (read: they really don't work with flats). And these skinny cropped ...read more
I'm a sucker for a sheer lace top and since my old one has seen better days (I think I've worn it more than just about anything else in my closet), I picked a new one up recently at Topshop. It pairs nicely with this petal pink suede skirt, which benefits from an asymmetrical ...read more
Even though culottes are having a major moment right now, I haven't been able to bring myself to embrace the trend I rocked back in college. I had probably four of the same stretchy, wide-leg pants that were pretty much glorified sweats. This jumpsuit strikes the perfect ...read more
The last week has been so hot in L.A. that I worried we had skipped spring altogether and landed right in the middle of summer. It cooled down just enough that I was able to wear my current obsession, this light floral coat, pairing it with a classic striped dress. ...read more
It's been nearly a year since I could wear most of the things in my closet, so it's been fun combing through it and rediscovering old pieces I'd forgotten about. Lately my day-to-day outfits have been on the simpler side, which is why a few new accessories have helped ...read more
For the past five and a half weeks, my uniform has primarily included different sweatsuit/pajama combinations - basically anything that was comfortable to lounge in and that I didn't mind getting filthy while tending to a newborn. But in the past week or so, we've started to ...read more
Dressing for a business meeting never seemed more difficult than after I popped - my old reliable pieces suddenly looked too tight or too revealing. But a couple of forgiving items, like a loose top with stretchy jeans, paired with a tailored coat/vest combination, make up my ...read more
When it’s a bit gray and overcast out, my tendency is to gravitate towards similarly dark colors. But this coat, in the palest pink, has been really good for me the past couple of days: it keeps me toasty, but doesn’t add any bulk thanks to its sharp and tailored shape. ...read more
I haven't been doing a ton of shopping lately, simply because I don't feel like adding clothing to my closet that I might never wear again. Going to the same stores and buying up a few sizes feels impractical and most of the maternity options don't appeal to me. But this past ...read more
The other day my mom and I were talking about her pregnancy wardrobe. She said that thirty-one years ago there were almost no attractive maternity wear options, so most of the time, she lived in my dad's clothes. Since I had to swear off button-downs a while back and I refuse ...read more
After months of barely leaving the house in the evenings, G and I have been making more of an effort to go out together each weekend. It's something we plan on maintaining, even after February, and I was excited to still be able to squeeze into this (rather stretchy) dress that ...read more
On Sunday I'll be seven months pregnant, which makes me feel like things have been moving at warp speed. I'm finally past the point of looking like I've just gained weight and actually look pregnant, which has been an exciting development. I'm embracing the slim-fitting pieces ...read more
Oxblood was the runaway hit color from last fall, but I’m not quite ready to let it go. I snapped up this burgundy leather flared skirt because of its potential to go with just about every sweater I own. I christened it with this neutral crewneck and can’t wait to wear it ...read more
Los Angeles weather has been a bit erratic: the mornings will start cool and crisp and then suddenly turn into a dead-of-summer type of heat. This oversized cardigan has been a lifesaver for me. I’ll wear it on my morning walk to get coffee and by afternoon, I’ve ditched it for ...read more
One of the main reasons I love fall is for the opportunity to wear thicker layers and this sweatshirt has been a favorite for a while. I like that it’s as comfortable as one of my dad’s crewneck sweaters (a favorite growing up), but has special details that make it feel ...read more
