The same day Sezane launched their January capsule collection, I walked into TheGREAT.'s store on Melrose and immediately recognized a connection: Both included several pieces with dainty, embroidered flowers. I'm all for an embroidered floral, but these were more playful, ...read more
Yes, it's still very much winter in most parts of the world, but I couldn't wait to share a few of my favorite transitional and spring pieces that just launched in the Shop. The 'New Arrivals' page is like a playground of new prints, graphic tees and sweatshirts, jewelry, and ...read more
Everyone in our office seems to have a closet-specific guilty pleasure: Emily loves white dainty blouses, Katie can never have too many shoes, Kelly has a weakness for leather jackets, Leslie loves a chunky knit. My sartorial obsession? Vintage denim. There's something truly ...read more
I've been passionate about jewelry for as long as I can remember—but as my collection has grown, so has the meaning it holds for me. Every day, I wear as many as twenty pieces, each of which holds a special relevance: There's the Parisian bracelet I'll wear until Sloan's old ...read more
When someone says "paisley," a montage of pink and purple swirls comes to mind. I immediately equate it with unflattering dresses I wore in the 90s, and nearly vowed to write it off forever as a ditsy, too-feminine print. That's why it came as an enormous surprise to me, when I ...read more
We all have that piece in our closet that makes us feel fantastic each time we wear it—because, without a doubt, we know someone will compliment it. For Emily, it's a statement-making sweatshirt, but it's often something more subtle, and unexpected. Here are the items that get ...read more
"Bad weather" in L.A. is worlds apart from "bad weather" in most parts of the country. Here, January temperatures generally fluctuate between 50 and 75 degrees so that our winter more closely resembles fall or spring (which doesn't stop us from complaining that it's "freezing" ...read more
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I'm not someone who's governed by trends, but it's not to say that there aren't a few styles that come with each season that I get excited to embrace. Here are the five styles I'll be incorporating into my wardrobe these next few months and how I'm wearing them. For years, I ...read more
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
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
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
