Like most people, I end up wearing only a few of the items in my closet the majority of the time. In an attempt to pare down a lot of what I own, I've been pulling out pieces that I don't wear enough to see if they're worth holding onto. I live for a black or white blazer and a ...read more
I would never classify myself as a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. It's not that I don't like jeans (or dressing down, for that matter), but rather I find it hard to find that perfect pair - that bridges the gap between being comfortably worn-in, but still able to be dressed up ...read more
This weekend was spent almost entirely outdoors and couldn't have been more fun. My parents surprised me for my birthday (by crashing our Cinco de Mayo party) and were instrumental in helping us polish off leftover enchiladas and margaritas. My mom and I also managed to squeeze ...read more
Anytime I get back after a trip, I spend an inordinate amount of time at home, which leads to lots of redecorating. I finally had time to visit the flea market and came home with an incredible Hellenic bust, a splintery wooden chair (for an upcoming DIY project) and a vintage ...read more
The weather in Northern California was so cold that I barely left my parents' house and this coat (first mentioned here) was the only reason I made it out the door. I avoided the mall on Black Friday and instead opted to walk around downtown Mill Valley with a hot cup of ...read more
To say that I've been favoring these jeans lately is a major understatement. They're baggy in all the right places, undeniably comfortable and I love how they can be dressed up with my tallest stilettos. I've also been throwing scarves in my bag nearly everywhere I go and this ...read more
As soon as the weather starts to turn balmy, I reach for breezy white dresses and colorful flats. It's a surefire combination that works season after season and is as easy as it is cheerful. When I first spotted these Lanvin Pom Pom Espadrilles, I was smitten with the bright ...read more
The sweet ladies over at Wren sent over this romper several months back (as well as this skirt, necklace and thesetops) and I'm so glad I brought it with me. It has such great weight to it, which is perfect since yesterday was yet another frigid day in New York. After attending ...read more
I'm often drawn to statement jewelry for my wrists, but when I spotted this vintage elephant necklace at the flea market last weekend, I knew it would be the perfect complement for just about any outfit. After shopping, we pulled into the parking lot at Johnnie's, an old school ...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
I've been looking for a sequined blazer for longer than I'd like to admit and this weekend I found the perfect one (for $30, I might add), buried under a heap of clothes, at the flea market. While that may not sound terribly appealing to most, I think vintage pieces have far ...read more
I know that it would seem like a larger chest would be preferable in order to better fill out a bikini top, but this is far from the case. As I've complained before, the options out there are far and few between. Yet, every time I see a magazine cover claiming to have found ...read more
Now that I finally have a slight pigment to my skin after a wonderful weekend in Palm Springs, I no longer camouflage with everything white in my wardrobe. Since it's definitely my preferred color to wear in warmer weather, I've lately been on a hunt for some new pieces for ...read more
