1. Annual Joshua Tree Pass: Entry to Joshua Tree National Park costs $20 per vehicle, but an annual pass is $30 and is valid for 12 months after purchase (talk about a great deal, amirite?). Not only that, but when the lines are crazy to get into the park, it allows you to just ...read more
I love when an impulsive purchase turns out to be something I reach for all the time. That was the case with an Urban Outfitter dress I got a few years back and it's one of the pieces people ask about most often. This skirt is a nice substitute, since the aforementioned dress is ...read more
A couple of weekends back, we ventured downtown for breakfast tacos and coffee (a stellar combination). I'd heard a ton of rave reviews about Guerrilla Tacos and somehow they managed to even surpass my high expectations. So after grabbing drinks at Handsome Coffee, we ordered ...read more
Even though I grew up a total tomboy, playing outdoors all day in backwards baseball hats and ripped clothes, there was a pretty dramatic shift somewhere around sophomore year in high school. I shifted from strictly ponytails and cargo pants to dresses and lip gloss, but ...read more
I love a good opportunity to wear a legitimate party dress. Like something you'd only wear to a formal occasion, paired with a bright lip and a high heel. But recently I've been experimenting with slight variations - whether with a take on a menswear-inspired look at night or a ...read more
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
If sweatshirts were socially acceptable cover-ups for any situation - business meetings, weddings, etc., you better believe I'd be throwing them on at every opportunity. They've always been my go-to outerwear, much more than blazers or even cozy sweaters. So when Clu came out ...read more
I'm usually not one to buy the same thing in two different colors (the only recent exception was with these Zara sandals) since I worry my closet would become full of monotonous matching pairs. But since I wear my black Rag & Bone skinny jeans more than just about everything ...read more
An army green utility jacket is one of those layers that's always more versatile than you expect (I've worn mine over dainty lace dresses and my grungiest of jeans). Especially during the warmer months, it's a great jacket that can easily be thrown in a bag and brought out at ...read more
In winter, I was all about wearing white head-to-toe. It felt fresh and unexpected for the cold, but I'm just as into it now, only in a slightly updated version for spring. A white suit would be a bit too heavy for the current weather, but a light cotton dress, tailored blazer, ...read more
Lately I've been into mixing and matching conservative pieces with much more relaxed items, like these tailored trousers with one of my favorite slouchy sweatshirts. By sticking with one color, it creates a streamlined silhouette that doesn't feel too stuffy. ...read more
