I can never pass up a prim and proper blouse, especially with great details like pin-dots, an attached scarf, and in a pale peach color. Since the mornings have been quite brisk lately, I layered it with a leather and knit sheath dress, over-the-knee socks, and boots. Even if ...read more
Ever since I watched Rosemary's Baby this past Halloween, I've been obsessed with the idea of colorful shift dresses in ditsy floral patterns. I love that this one has such a vintage feel, but feels modern with its nipped-in waist and tailored pleats. ...read more
I wore this out for a double date this past weekend for a casual dinner at our favorite sushi spot. The outfit had morphed throughout the day - starting with my chambray shirt tucked into paint-splattered shorts and canvas slip-ons. Instead of changing entirely, I dressed it up ...read more
The best weekends are the ones that feel indulgent - filled with all of my favorite people, foods, and activities all wrapped up into a relaxing couple of days. We took advantage of the nearly empty city by trying out restaurants that normally require reservations (and a ...read more
Yesterday morning was so gloomy that even the brightest pieces in my closet seemed overly cheery and saccharine. I stuck to an all-black ensemble, with a few patterned pieces, that kept it from feeling too drab. And while these pictures don't do them justice, I love these ...read more
It's hard to find shorts that encompass all of the things I look for - an appropriate length, comfortable, and dressy enough to go from day to night. I picked up this rust-colored pair from H&M last week and love how they're simultaneously swingy but structured with the little ...read more
This summer I've been living in crisp shirt dresses. They're more refined than classic cotton, but just as comfortable and I love their slightly androgynous feel. I balance them out with feminine accessories, like these platform sandals from Forever 21 that are nearly identical ...read more
If there's such thing as stereotypical spring weather, we've been experiencing it here this entire week in L.A. The mornings start out cool and crisp and the afternoons hover at a perfect temperature that just hints at becoming too warm. Last night I met a friend for Cuban food ...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 ...read more
If I wasn't concerned about repeating myself incessantly, I'd have an entire closet filled with sheer, frilly dresses. They're deceptively polished since they require little more effort than slipping one over your head and running out the door. I've had this one for a while and ...read more
Ever since my realization last week that there are essentially no prints in my closet, I've been trying to incorporate them into my daily outfits. This H&M top is such a fun departure from my other blouses and it only seemed appropriate to pair it with my girliest skirt. I'm ...read more
Winter white is one of my favorite colors during colder months as it's such a stark contrast to the gray weather. I got this asymmetrical Mason by Michelle Mason dress from REVOLVE, which I've already worn with tights, a thick belt and a chunky scarf, all on separate occasions. ...read more
J.Crew Headband, Vintage Blazer and Glasses, Mossimo Shirt, Express Belt, Forever 21 Watch, Vintage Skirt, Seychelles Shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag After I posted these three blazers last week, I've been on a search to find my own lightweight version of this menswear ...read more
As most of my loyal readers can attest, I'm all about finding the most affordable and practical options when shopping for myself, except when it comes to bags and wallets. Since durability is key, I like to invest in well constructed leather pieces that will also look chic and ...read more
I'm a huge believer in surprises. In fact, I'd much prefer a random bouquet of flowers on a Monday than a predictable arrangement for Valentine's Day. Those out-of-the-blue surprises are always welcome, but when it comes to waiting for a specific line to debut on Gilt Groupe, I ...read more
In first grade, I sported a massive digital watch, so learning to tell time was an obsolete skill in my eyes. Since then, I've always been a bit skittish when people ask me what time it is, relying on phrases like, 'it's about,' 'a little after,' and 'around' while staring ...read more
Shorts season is quickly approaching, and judging by the amount of unavailable treadmills at my gym, everyone is well aware. I wouldn't say I'm an enormous fan of the style in general, but when executed in bright colors with noteworthy details, it's a path even I'm willing to ...read more
This winter, I became enamored with the Marc Jacobs Ines bag. After weeks of back and forth trips to Saks and Barney's, I finally decided that the quilting was a bit stuffy for my taste and went with a bag with a bit more flair. His new BE.V Patchwork Wristlet however? ...read more
