And The Countdown To My Wedding Begins...

Denis Reggie

Happy to share that my fiancé and I have finally set a wedding date in July. As some of you may know, my father passed away about a month after we got engaged, so naturally a wedding was no longer top of mind for us. Though it won't be easy not having him there, we feel the timing is right. Many of you may be wondering how or why we are only giving ourselves two and a half months to pull this off, and the answer is that we are going for a small, intimate, and simple celebration. Thankfully,  our families will conveniently be in the area for that date. Click below to find out more about my wedding prep and plans...

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.

Summer Trends: Fashion Girls Love a Silky Pant

There's something so inherently luxurious about silk; whether it be in a pillowcase, a button-down shirt, or a pair of fluid trousers. During fashion month, the fabric was everywhere––fashion girl's find new ways to reinvent the trend each season. For the upcoming months, whether worn inside or out, silky pants are what we're adding to our arsenal. Style the versatile pant with both ribbed tanks, oversized shirts or linen blouses. Shop our favorite iterations below.

Adding Color to A Minimal Wardrobe

Photos via: Beige Renegade

The minimalist's wardrobe is usually built upon neutrals; black, grey, white, creams and the occasional navy blue. After fashion month, a new shade pushed its way into the normcore palette. Blushes and pinks are now considered a neutral in itself. If incorporating a blush tone into your minimal outfit, opt for the lightest shade of pink or a ruddier one. Fashion blogger Jiawa Liu does this perfectly in her blush blazer, denim shorts and statement sandals.

+ Joseph Roman Stretch-Crepe Blazer
+ Oasis Pink Button Front Blazer
+ One Teaspoon Beauty Bandit Shorts
