I've gotten some requests recently to share my beauty routine, so even though this is a bit out of my comfort zone, I figured why not have a little fun (hello, kissy face!), and give you guys the run-down. I've always been pretty low-key and try to get my makeup done in about 15 minutes. Here's what I currently use for my daily go-to beauty look...
BLUSH/BRONZER/HIGHLIGHTER: For some definition, I use either the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Bronzer, Highlighter & Blush Palette in Streak or BareMinerals All-Over Face Color in Warmth. I blend the bronzer with any brush I have handy along my cheekbones, hairline and lightly on my nose and chin. If I'm in the mood for a little color I add some of the blush from the palette over the apples of my cheeks. For highlighting, I'm obsessed with Chantecaille Liquid Lumière Illuminator in Sheen. I dab a little along the top of my cheeks, the inner corner of my eyes and under my brow arch for a flattering and subtle glow.
EYES: To begin, I lightly dab one of the bronzers mentioned earlier to my lids for a little depth. Next, I tightline my eyes with simple black eyeliner. I like to use the Almay Contour Crayon Eyeliner since it doesn't smudge as much as a pencil. If I want to add some flair and have some extra time, I like to do a winged cat-eye look with Cover Girl Intensify Me! Liquid Liner. To complete my eyes, I go straight for my Shiseido Eyelash Curler and throw on a few coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Very Black.
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!
One of the best fabrics for spring and summer dressing is hands down white linen—It’s a light, crisp weave that’s incredibly chic. For that reason, I’ve got my eyes on this sleeveless organic linen wrap top from the EILEEN FISHER collection at Saks Fifth Avenue. Go for a relaxed look with a pair of classic jeans and flat sandals, or dress it up with skinny black pants or culottes and mule heels. Best part is, this piece will keep you feeling comfortable and cool as the temperature starts to rise. Shop this top, plus more picks below.
There’s no denying that once the weather starts to warm up, we can’t wait to throw on a dress. This spring and summer it’s all about styling the piece, as feminine as it may be, with sporty pieces like sneakers and furry pool slides. Two of our favorite dresses of the moment for pulling off the trend are this striped knit maxi dress and this floral print maxi dress from the K/Lab collection at Kohl’s.

When it comes to achieving a minimal aesthetic EILEEN FISHER has always been my go-to, which is why I was more than excited to style one of their exclusive new pieces for Saks Fifth Avenue. This white open-front silk crepe jacket is subtly textured, lightweight, and incredibly versatile, making it the perfect companion for any spring outfit. Wear with neutrals as shown here or cool black minimal pieces. Shop the jacket plus my other top picks below to elevate your closet this season.

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.
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!

After seeing the amazing designer goodies that Jayne Min of Stop It Right Now has scored from The Real Real, I knew I had to check it out myself. Low and behold, I spotted the exact Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton SC bag I've been lusting over, and even recently shared on Instagram, at a fraction of the original cost. That's the beauty of this site—You can find a great selection of pre-owned, authentic designer pieces that you either missed out on in the past, or are currently coveting, but may be a bit outside your budget. They also have a streamlined consignment service that's a great way to sell designer items from your own closet, since you can ship your items in for free or have them come to your home and pick them up. Either way, prepare to get lost and addicted to hunting down those special finds! Below are some of my top picks...

I have always been incredibly loyal to all the makeup bags I have had in the past, only updating when I absolutely had to due to a rip or broken zipper. My most recent was metallic pink with a top zip that I had used for the past six years, and with it being on its last legs, I set out to replace it. I knew I wanted something black and monogrammed, since I had gotten really tired of the pink and wanted something more elevated. After over a month of searching I happened to bring it up at work and someone mentioned Cuyana as an option. I had completely forgotten how cool their designs are and the fact that they monogram. I went back and forth between the Leather Zipper Pouch and the Leather Travel Case Set, but decided to go with the set since I could use the bigger one when traveling and they both sit upright as opposed to slouching like my old one. Once they arrived, I couldn't have been happier—both were perfectly personalized and felt super luxe making them a definite must-have in my book.
I partnered with Simon to create a chic and understated entryway using my top picks from their great selection of brands and stores. Head over to their new site Simon SAID for all the details, including the 9 essential pieces for getting the look!
