Los Angeles, CA

It’s been a while! A lot has happened in my world but who cares about that. Really, all you need to know is that it’s finally starting to feel a bit like fall in LA. Exciting news? Yes. Because we dress for the seasons around here and it can get pretty unbearable to wear plaids and pants in 90 degree heat. There is no telling how long this cool-down will last and frankly I’m using that term generously, it’s still in the mid 70’s… but here’s to hoping!

For these months that are cool but not cold, and warm but not steamy, I look to transitional pieces. This feminine blazer from J.Crew is exactly that. It’s perfect for pulling any look together, any season. Great with ripped jeans, a baseball hat, a floral dress or in my case today, shorts—a fitted blazer is really girl’s best friend. And this one gets fancy with a pre-popped collar. I paired it with searsucker shorts, a pink blouse and some riding boots. I actually had to borrow these boots at the last minute because I forgot mine! Luckily my photographer, Shara, had a pair lying around.

Switch in a pair of heels and this is the easiest outfit to wear to work, while still looking appropriate. I guess that’s the power of a good blazer. Insta-classic!
