spring steps

West Hollywood, CA

It’s cold, it’s hot—the weather changes so much this time of year that it's impossible to know if you need duck boots or sandals when you step outside. And as we near the cusp of spring (yay!) I think it's a good time to pull out those transitional pieces that will carry you through both seasons (no matter the weather).

Working as a fashion editor for many years, I lived in heels but nowadays, I've found that an outfit can be just as stylish with a pair of comfy boots or sneakers. The Hattie Sneaker by Vionic proves that it's totally possible to be comfortable and look put together in a pair of kicks. In fact, Vionic designs all of their shoes with supportive technology so that you don't ever have to suffer through a day of painful walking again! And because I live on-the-go, I really need a pair of shoes that will keep up with the many steps I take a day (and not leave me with blistered feet). I love pairing these with blazers, dresses and maxi skirts for a bit of contrast.

Oh and can we talk about these jeans for just a second? Are they pants? Are they shorts? Doesn't matter. I'm comfortable, warm, and still able to feel a little breeze on the ankles. 

Spring, I'm ready for ya!

Today I’m giving a tearful goodbye to Obama- the first president I was able to vote for and a man I’ve come to deeply admire.  Between the protests and the new president we now have in office, the city feels a bit uneasy today.

I'm keeping my head up and with a classic look for the office. I love the ruffled detailing on this top and this bold cardigan adds an extra layer of texture. They pair together for a great color combo!

Here’s to a brighter, kinder tomorrow.

PRETTY LITTLE DETAILS...

Los Angeles, CA

The basic blouse is getting a makeover this season and I have to say, I am LOVING it. Instead of traditional button-ups, designers are creating tops with ruffled sleeves, lace and all kinds of other embellishments. It makes dressing for work much easier—just throw on one of these dressed up blouses with a pair of skinnies and you’re good to go (no blazer necessary). And if you’re not a huge necklace girl like me, go for a top like this one from H&M that has a delicately detailed collar.
