Leather shorts have been on my wish list for quite some time (here and here) and I finally found a pair this past week. They're high-waisted, but slouchy, and the pleats make them feel pulled together, yet in a slightly undone way. I picked up this light sweater during one of my ...read more
L.A. is a great place to live on three-day weekends. The city becomes nearly deserted and it makes for the perfect opportunity to discover new areas that are typically too out of the way. On Sunday morning we ventured over to Venice for breakfast, and while I was quite content ...read more
I can't remember the last time I owned a long skirt. While I typically think they're the quickest way to make even the the tallest of girls look short and stout, I couldn't resist trying this on in Zara last week. It may not be the most flattering piece of clothing in my closet, ...read more
On Saturday night we had two birthday parties to attend so I needed an outfit that could easily transition from a formal gathering to a rowdy bar. I figured some sort of updo would be best since my hair has gotten to a point that it's far too long to wear down without offending ...read more
I've never been a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. It's not that I'm always dressed up (because I'm certainly not), but I prefer breezy dresses to constricting, stiff denim. When the legging/jeans hybrid appeared on the scene last year, I was skeptical that they could be ...read more
I've never embrace safari-inspired clothes since I worry they're too androgynous to fit in with the rest of my wardrobe. Magazine spreads perfectly juxtapose sweet, frilly skirts with army green jackets, but it doesn't always translate as well in real life. Elizabeth and ...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 I ...read more
It's always a tough transition arriving back home after a luxuriously relaxing weekend. There's laundry to be done, clothes to be put away and in our case, empty cupboards with little hope for a meal. I had already entered a semi-whimpering state of hunger when I started to ...read more
One of my favorite things about watching shows at Fashion Week was seeing the models' hair and make-up. The wind-swept styles were simple and sweet, while their lips were painted in vibrant shades of coral. I don't often stray from my normal make-up routine (which you can see ...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 spent the better half of Saturday afternoon clawing my way through racks of designer shoes at the Barneys sale. I walked away with these (I'm still slightly undecided about the color) and a new perfume that my boyfriend got me for our two-year anniversary. The weather was ...read more
I've always loved the traditions surrounding Thanksgiving that bring together family, appreciation and great food. I had a restful time up in Northern California and arrived back home to a jam-packed calendar that included my first holiday party. Since I ate an undisclosed amount ...read more
