I finally jumped on the tie-front shirtdress bandwagon and couldn't be happier. They make dressing a cinch, and can be worn casual with sneakers or polished with lace-up flats.
The lovely team at The Real Real recently reached out to ask what my dream date would be, who it would be with, and what piece from their covet-worthy site I would pick to wear on said date. I immediately knew what my answers were for each question and this is the exact outfit I envisioned featuring my top TRR pick. Date and look details below...
WHO/WHERE
My dream date would be with my fiancé in the city of Paris.
THE PLAN
Aimlessly stroll the beautiful streets, take photos, indulge in sweets and pastries from different patisseries, scour flea markets, people-watch in the parks, have a romantic dinner, and end the day with a concert (preferably The Kills or Feist).
THE REAL REAL PICK
I've been crushing on the Saint Laurent Sac de Jour bag for so long and know it would be the perfect companion since it's incredibly chic and practical.
There's no denying my love for a good multiple earring look, and thanks to my lovely ear model Libby, I was able to play around with some of my favorites at the moment. I'm super tempted to add more piercings to my left ear, just not sure what to go with! Thoughts?
'Tis the season for holiday parties, so whether you're looking to make a siren statement or keep it subtle, yet cool, let these two looks with my top beauty picks from Dolce & Gabbana be the inspiration for your next party...
For a high-impact look, pair a classic bright red lip with a matching clutch and nail polish. Add some dimension by contouring your face with bronzing powder, then apply a metallic gold eyeshadow for the final festive touch.
If you want something more low-key, but equally stylish, keep it simple by highlighting your face with a shimmery illuminator for a pretty glow. Try a textured white clutch, silver watch, and chic ring to keep with the cool, understated feel.
Complete both looks with an edgy pearl choker and a quick spritz of Light Blue fragrance before you head out the door. This fresh scent is always uplifting, plus it's a guaranteed conversation starter since I always get asked what I'm wearing when I have it on.

Finally found the perfect chunky sweater from Zady, so I can't wait for it to get chilly again in LA this week. I plan on wearing the navy knit with vintage Levi's jeans, a nude Vince bag, and my new Common Projects sneakers. This may just end up being my Thanksgiving look!
This holiday season, break out of that little black dress rut for something that makes more of a statement. Enter the brocade and embroidery trend (one of my favorites at the moment), which is guaranteed to lend a festive touch to any outfit. With that in mind, here is my take on the perfect holiday party dress look, with my top picks from Nordstrom.

Currently crushing on Stella & Bow jewelry, especially the rings and earrings. Their lovely LA-based team sent over some of my top picks from their current and up-coming fall/winter collections, and I'm hooked. Each piece is the perfect mix of edgy and dainty!
Here is my take on a chic neutral look for fall. I used my top picks from Macy's to style the look, and what's great is that each piece can be used through winter and spring. And yes, I'm all about wearing crisp white jeans year-round, especially with other neutrals!
This asymmetrical printed skirt from Neiman Marcus makes quite the statement. For fall, I thought it would be great styled with a luxe camel sweater, chic sunglasses, a simple silver watch, and a classic quilted bag. As for the shoes, rather than go with an expected pair of lace-up heels or ankle boots, I went with sleek white sneakers give the look a laid-back cool feel. Top with a bright red-orange lip, and you've got a comfy, yet chic fall look!
It's no secret that I'm a huge fun of open closets, and this sleek gold clothing rack from Urban Outfitters is perfect for pulling one off. Start by adding a small selection of your favorite pieces from your wardrobe like classic tops, jackets, jeans and pants. Next, drape a mix of your go-to accessories including a selection of hats, bags and scarves. The key is to make sure that all your picks compliment each other to some extent for a more cohesive look. To complete the space, add simple storage trays to showcase your best jewelry, a few fashion books for inspiration, and an interesting rug where you can line up your top shoe picks. Oh, and don't forget to keep an instant camera handy, so that you can capture and keep track of all of your best looks for easier dressing in the future!
