If there's one trend I saw time and time again at last night's Ten Year Anniversary Party (full recap coming Monday!), it was the number of black jumpsuits worn in attendance. In retrospect, it makes perfect sense—it's an ideal transition piece for going from work to cocktails ...read more
There's something so freeing about fully leaning into anything, whether it's a decadent meal and going for that second dessert, or throwing on a flowy dress with all the girly details. It goes without saying that this outfit was pulled together before today's post on High/Lows ...read more
It had been a while since I last embraced overalls—approximately twenty years or so. When we were first discussing adding a pair to our spring collection, I had such specific requirements: that they'd be fitted (so they'd be subtly sexy, not kid-like at all), faded like a vintage ...read more
What does one wear to meet and interview Hugh Jackman? Or speak on camera about their greatest career milestone, to date? Although I did it without noticing, I found myself reaching for the same top each time. There's something about this piece that just feels good, thanks to the ...read more
One thing I didn't expect in my own wedding was how much I'd relish the entire experience of being a bride. As someone who doesn't love being the center of attention, I downplayed the importance of being a bride in the days leading up to the ceremony - namely, avoiding white ...read more
We've come to refer to this blazer among our team half-jokingly as the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Blazer." After I wore it to the office and at this photoshoot, Leslie wore it to a Valentine's Day event, and our graphic designer borrowed it for a dinner out. Even though we each ...read more
If there's anything I'm most excited for in our 2018 Spring collection, it's the abundance of blouses with playful, feminine designs, like winged sleeves and floral prints. This blouse is a perfect combination of both, with subtle embroidered details inspired by the pink magnolia ...read more
In designing clothing, I collect countless prints and images as inspiration for each collection so that by the time it comes down to creating pieces, I have a fairly clear vision of what they'll look like. This was not one of those cases. I knew I wanted to create a velvet ...read more
When I answered my most frequently-asked questions last year, I could have easily included a tenth: "Where do you buy Sloan's bows from?" That baby receives more questions about bows than anything else (for the record, I find most of them from different sellers on Etsy!). And I ...read more
Before we had Sloan, G and I headed to my parents' house up north every year for the holidays. While it's just an hour-long plane ride, the climate feels like a world away from L.A., with heavy fog that rolls in in the mornings and stays till mid-afternoon. When I designed this ...read more
When we launched the Shop back in April, I was thrilled to have a permanent place online to house the home goods and apparel I love. It was immediately rewarding and such a thrill, but there was a steep learning curve. Certain items sold-out within hours, we launched without ...read more
I love the idea of transitioning florals, a typically springtime print, into the winter season, and the black and red motif on this dress does just that. The ruffled off-shoulder neckline shows just enough skin to be flirty and festive, but still holiday party-appropriate. While ...read more
The section of black dresses and jumpsuits I own takes up the vast majority of my closet. Occasionally it feels like overkill - since they have a tendency to all look prettty similar, give or take a longer hem or shorter sleeve. So anytime I come across (or design) a piece that ...read more
After just a few short weeks of dressing for cooler weather, I found myself quickly settling into a uniform that involved wearing pants most days. And after months of not being able to even fathom the idea of that much fabric on my body, it was a welcomed transition. But I'm now ...read more
It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that it's already November, which means the holidays are really right around the corner. Early invites for Christmas parties have already begun creeping into my inbox, so I've started to reserve a portion of my closet for evening outfits ...read more
When Geoffrey returned from his cycling trip to Vermont a few weeks ago, his phone was filled with beautiful photos of trees with unbelievably bright-orange leaves. While we don't get quite as dramatic of a seasonal shift in Southern California—it's an event if it drops below 60 ...read more
In L.A., it doesn't take a lot to transition to "winter" weather—often, a faux shearling coat thrown over distressed denim and sandals is all you need for a casual daytime get-together. In this case, I played up the casual look of the denim with strappy sandals and a perfectly ...read more
It's been just over two months since we settled into our new office and I'm trying to take a different approach this time. When we moved into our last one, it was during an incredibly transitional time—Sloan was still tiny, we'd just launched our clothing line, and our first-ever ...read more
In my experience, faux options are rarely as well-designed or as nicely made as their leather counterparts, and often look cheap. In creating a "leather" jacket for my fall line, it was important we made an option that looks just as good as the real thing—no compromise needed. ...read more
Some of you may remember that when I first started documenting my outfits, I had a tendency to wear animal prints in (not totally tasteful) statement pieces. I balanced them with muted dresses and tops before I learned that, styled correctly, these prints can also function as a ...read more
As much as I love a floral print, the problem I encounter is that they often veer towards punchy, brighter patterns that can evoke more of a springtime vibe. In designing dresses for my fall collection, we wanted options that felt versatile enough to wear during cooler parts of ...read more
Over the course of the next few weeks, our fall collection will be rolling out, and I could not be more excited for this latest season. We focused on pieces with staying power, then added a playful twist, which I feel this dress embodies. It's classic with sweet details like a ...read more
Let's do some word association. I say, "yellow." You say, "Doesn't go with anything in my closet," or "Too punchy." At least, that would have been my answer, until I designed this top for our collection. I've always had a soft-spot for yellow pieces, but they are notoriously ...read more
I love wearing neutral monochromatic pieces—the blank palette opens up the design process to more structural, surprising, architectural details. In creating this white jumpsuit, I wanted something ethereal that could be worn to a daytime party (some of my favorite clothing ideas ...read more
