7 Key Elements For A Stylish And Whimsical Work Space

Photos by Jenn Camp

I've been coveting just about everything from the home section at Urban Outfitters, so when I was approached with an opportunity to create and style a space with my top picks, I jumped at the chance. Here's my take on a stylish and whimsical work space, along with 7 key elements for getting the look.

A Sneak Peek At My New Apartment In LA

+ A view of the living room. Crazy for all this light!


+ Found this beautiful faded rug from Unique Rug Store on Etsy.


+ Finally found a litter box that's not hideous. This sleek one is from ModKat.


+ Neutral fabric swatches I was considering for the sofa. Went with a bright white.


+ A plus of having a light colored rug with pets is that the fur doesn't stand out as much!


+ Scored this mid-century piece from Good Bones Vintage. More details below...


+ New Everlane loafers and a new striped rug from Urban Outfitters.


As some of you may know, I recently made the move from NYC to LA and am finally starting to get my new apartment together. My fiancé and I decided to start with a blank slate design-wise, so we've been on the hunt for new pieces. Here's a sneak peek at how thing's are coming along. Be on the look out for more soon!

My Friend Is A Victim Of Domestic Violence- Please Help!

Photo via: GH (edited)

Taking a break from my usual posts to ask you guys for help with something that is very near and dear to me...

My best friend has recently become the victim of domestic violence and needs all the help she can get. She is the mother of a one-year-old and is one of the kindest and most selfless people I know. Due to this incident she has had to quit her new job and move across country to be with her support system of family and friends. The cost of the move, legal fees and other expenses has put her and her child in a really tough spot.

I set up a GoFundMe account for her, to help alleviate her financial burden during this difficult transition. Whether it's fifty cents, or even a positive thought or prayer, any sort of contribution would make a world of difference in helping her get back on her feet. Even the simple act of sharing this with your friends and family could be of tremendous help.

Check out the GoFundMe account for more details.

Thank you!

Xx

Jenn

20 Alternative Wedding Looks

1. Stone Cold Fox dress



2. Naeem Khan separates



3. Jenna Lyons at Solange Knowles' wedding


As some of you may know, my fiancé and I have been engaged for over two years now. We got engaged right before my dad passed away, so the wedding planning got put on the back-burner. It's been hard to think of having a wedding without my dad being around, but we've finally come around to feeling excited about it again and are slowly starting to make plans. With that, of course, comes the search for the perfect wedding look. I've been on the hunt for a more non-traditional wedding look and have really been interested in the idea of pants. These are some of the best alternative looks I've come across so far.

3 WAYS: CLASSIC TOPS | LORCA STUDIO

Currently crushing on LoRCA Studio. Their classic designs are right up my alley, so when asked to pick some of my favorites, my mind went crazy with all of the styling possibilities. What's great is the versatility of the tops. As the weather cools down, you can throw on a leather jacket and switch the sandals up for ankle boots. Best part is they're offering my readers 20% off with code LEFASHION! Details for each of the looks I styled are below...

Look 1:
LoRCA Studio Blanche Blouse // A.L.C. Davenport Bag // Jenni Kayne Chain Sandals //
Michael Kors Watch // Vince Cropped Leather Leggings

Look 2:
LoRCA Unna Challis Top // Elizabeth and James Lafayette Sunglasses // Michael Kors Watch // Silver Ear Cuff // Giuseppe Zanotti Heels // Levi's Jeans

MY GUIDE TO LA

Photos: My Own

As some of you may know from my instagram feed, I spent the month of August exploring Los Angeles and other parts of California. I've been many times, but never this long, so it was great to finally be able to check out more of what I hadn't gotten to yet. Anyway, I thought it'd be cool to do a quick guide with some of my LA favorites. Enjoy!


BEST PLACE TO STAY:



Pretty much every time I come to LA I use Airbnb. It's cheaper than a hotel and you can find some AMAZING spots in all the different neighborhoods. This time around I found gems in Malibu and in West Hollywood. Both were in perfect locations, had great interior design and private pools. This made it real hard to leave!


BEST WAY TO GET AROUND:



Hands down, Silvercar. Ever since my first experience renting with them in Dallas, I was hooked. When I heard they opened in LA, I was super excited since the LAX rental car situation can be a serious pain. The process is seamless- you reserve and pick up your rental using their app. The best part is that all their cars are stunning silver Audis with GLORIOUS built-in wi-fi. I selfishly admit that this was perfect for catching up on emails/instagram/twitter/vine/facebook while my poor fiance drove us around in LA traffic.

Good news is that Silvercar has offered to give my readers a 20% discount off their next rental using the code: SILVERCARLEF. This is perfect if you plan on visiting Los Angeles, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, Miami or Phoenix any time soon. Score!


BEST PLACES TO SHOP:



These are just some of the few I got to hit up while in town, but there are MANY more I am still dying to browse spend all my money at...

Jenni Kayne - 614 N Almont Dr. West Hollywood, CA 90069 (310) 860-0123
I seriously lost my mind over the F/W 2014 collection (the shoes!), the Mansur Gavriel bags and the swoon-worthy selection of jewelry.

Isabel Marant - 8454 Melrose Pl. Los Angeles, CA 90069 (323) 651-1493
I already knew I'd love seeing the collections, so for me the best part was simply seeing the insanely cool design of both the inside and outside of the space. Can I move in please?

General Store - 1801 Lincoln Blvd. Venice, CA 90291 (310) 751-6393
I'm such a fan girl of Hannah Henderson, so this spot was high on my list. The place is filled with an eclectic selection of goodies. I'm head over heels for the jewelry, especially the earrings and ring selection. Can't wait to go back.

MY CURRENT JEWELRY FAVORITES

I jumped at the chance to create my own stack of Monica Vinader rings. It wasn't easy since all of her pieces are stunning, but ultimately I fell for these two beauties.

Obsessed with my new double piercings done by J. Colby Smith at NY Adorned. Pictured here with my favorite Rebecca Minkoff curved bar earring (similar).

The Stella and Bow team was kind enough to gift me their whimsical Zuma Cuff, and I haven't taken it off since. I pair it often with my dainty Ginette NY bracelet.

A FASHIONABLE HOME: LAURA NAPLES + KRISTEN GIORGI | NG COLLECTIVE

Photos via: Brittany Ambridge for Domino

Artist sisters Laura Naples and Kristen Giorgi of NG Collective caught my eye in the latest issue of Domino. Their whimsical paintings and impeccably styled homes are full of endless inspiration. Plus, I love how Laura and Kristen's personal style reflects their design tastes.

I was happy to find they have an online store full of their creations. As soon as I saw the pastel and black painting (2nd photo), I had to get my hands on it. I've been on the move, so I can't wait to find a space for the piece in my next home. I'll make sure to share when I do!

"I really need a day between Saturday and Sunday."

I mean REALLY though. As some of you may know from my instagram, I'm in the process of moving and tomorrow is my move out day, so a longer weekend would be great right about now.

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Major shout out to The Line for helping me secure it! If you haven't already, make sure to check out their impeccably curated site and store. You won't be disappointed.

NEW HAIRCUT | LONG BOB

A couple of quick iphone snaps of my new haircut. As I mentioned in this post, it was time for something fresh and after going through my hair inspiration folder on my desktop, I was a ll about the long bob. All thanks goes to the gorgeous and talented Jen Atkin for giving me the exact cut I wanted and perfect effortless waves to boot.

TWO THINGS: LIZZIE FORTUNATO FLAMINGO CLUTCH + ONYX STUD BRACELET

Lizzie Fortunato and Decade Diary have done it again. First they created this lip print clutch (one of my favs!), and now this gorgeous embroidered flamingo clutch. It's quirky, cute and beautifully crafted. Make sure to also check out their safari clutch with a single flamingo. Fingers crossed they collaborate again- I just can't get enough!

The other beauty here is the Darby bracelet. The leather strap and gold plate embellished with onyx studs make it such a clean and chic statement piece.
