Gingham and black-and-white checks are seemingly everywhere these days, and I'm completely on board—especially when they come in the form of an easy, yet compelling dress. The split-neck collar detail combined with the shoulder ties and comfortable (but still slightly fitted) ...read more
Summer always puts me in a more adventurous mindset to try different recipes, visit new places, and host more get-togethers in our backyard. And while it may not seem like much of a leap of faith to wear an easygoing dress, the yellow tone isn't something I'd normally gravitate ...read more
My closet is full of office-appropriate shirt dresses, but weekends beg for a casual version that's equal parts comfortable and stylish. This piece honors the stripes and buttons of a classic shirt dress, but the off-the-shoulder look and sleeve ties lend it a more laidback look. ...read more
Summer is the ideal season for easy one-pieces like this light and beach-y dress or this bright, floral number. But for true ease and comfort, nothing beats a romper for worry-free frolicking. Add to the mix a tie-waist and ruffled sleeves, and you have the perfect formula for ...read more
Despite the fairly mild winters in L.A., I've accrued a rather impressive collection of coats—partly because I'm a true Angeleno now (twelve years later) and shiver when the temperatures drop below 70 degrees, and partly because I love the look of a longer coat and how it makes ...read more
As much as I love shopping for and wearing white blouses, I was immediately drawn to this multi-colored option. The stripes and colors are subtle enough that, it'll be hanging next to all my other easy-to-wear white blouses. The flowy sleeves and overall drape-y fit pair well ...read more
As the weather warms up, I'm plotting more weekends at the beach with G and Sloan. Although I typically throw on a pair of denim shorts and a tee when I head to the beach, I often want something a bit more pulled-together so I don't feel too casual if the beach leads to brunch. ...read more
Classics are "classics" because they have staying power. Even after years and trends come and go, and even - as I was recently reminded - across seasons, they remain. I bought this coat last fall and quickly realized it would be a staple in my winter wardrobe, but not necessarily ...read more
This top-meets-tunic-meets-dress is a true pièce de résistance — it manages to combine multiple trends without being overwhelming or tiresome. From the one-shoulder design and on-point plaid print, to the puff sleeve and cascading hem, it's somehow completely appropriate for both ...read more
The last time I wore pinstripes was when my mom took me shopping for my first job, post-college. In her mind, pinstripes were associated with conservative business attire that would show my future employers how serious I was about the job—in mine, they felt incredibly ...read more
I've never really purchased a lot of outerwear, mainly because the weather in L.A. doesn't exactly necessitate an entire wardrobe of heavy coats and chunky knits. But after missing out on all of the camel coats I was eyeing last fall, I decided to splurge on a lightweight version ...read more
Growing up, I always looked forward to the start of summer when my mom would take me shopping for a new bathing suit, and if I was lucky, a matching coverup. By high school, my closet was a mess of mismatched bikinis and their corresponding tunics that accurately represented each ...read more
Interview 1: Meeting GeoffreyLocation: Blue BottleDetails: My job interview with Geoffrey fell the day after returning from New York Fashion Week where I was freelancing. We were going to meet at the Blue Bottle coffee shop on Beverly Boulevard, which was the perfect location - ...read more
The vast majority of my dresses fall firmly in one camp: dressy, or casual. Which is why I play favorites with ones that swing both ways (this one is another example). I'd wear this graphic coral dress with cute flat sandals and a jean jacket on the weekend, or with neutral heels ...read more
I think there might be two kinds of people in this world: those who are stripe addicts, and those who aren't. If you fall into the former camp, you own an excessive number of striped items. A person who loves stripes never has, say, two striped t-shirts in their closet - it's ...read more
As a fan of all things pink, I so appreciate the nuances between what's blush, petal, dusty, carnation, ballet slipper, candy-colored, and bubblegum pink. The degrees of difference on the color wheel are subtle and endless, but I don't discriminate - I love them all. Of course ...read more
With Sloan in my life, managing the hours in my day and making strategic sartorial decisions has become more important than ever. I'm talking about planning looks that transition from a business meeting out to drinks, with no frantic stop at home, rushed outfit change, or extra ...read more
Since plaid is such a cozy, lazy-day kind of print, I wanted to create some pieces that were crisp and slimming so they could be dressed up for a fresh take on the fabric. The length of this pencil skirt makes it perfect to wear with sleek metallic heels for lower-key holiday ...read more
The holiday season has always been my favorite time of year. Some of my fondest memories were created around the fireplace at my parents' home, listening to our go-to playlists (which rotated between The Roches and James Taylor), staying in our pajamas all day and watching old ...read more
When it's cold out, I find it difficult to dress for dates in a way that feels both weather-appropriate and romantic. Since I don't want my legs to freeze in a dress, I usually stick with the less-than-glamorous formula of jeans and some kind of sweater. I'm comfortable, but I ...read more
The weather got delightfully cool when Daylight Saving Time hit (50 degree-days in L.A. are a real East Coast kind of treat), which meant I could finally wear a seasonal outfit head to toe—hat and tall riding boots included. There's something crisp and collegiate about a plaid ...read more
I have plenty of functional pull-over sweaters, but there's nothing like being cocooned in a blanket sweater that's part coat, part cape, and so cozy. I try not to play favorites with items from my clothing line, but I have been living in this comfortable piece that makes you ...read more
There are certain sartorial pairings that work like a charm thanks to complementary proportions and textures. A billowy, bohemian minidress with thigh high stretch suede boots is one of my favorite of said duos. I'd been on the hunt for the perfect over-the-knee pair for ages, ...read more
