KEEP IT CASUAL

Venice, CA

I have one motto for summer dressing: less is more.  I say warm sticky days call for light, easy styling. Give me a pair of shorts, a comfy tee and some sandals and I'm set. A skirt and sneakers? Sign me up. Today's fun look has the ability to get me out the door and straight to a friend’s backyard faster than you can say rosé. What's better than a summer outfit that can do all that? Not much.

50 Shades of Blue

Westwood, CA

Monochrome. The trend is nothing new, but trying out less traditional tones like blue, turquoise and green can make a big bold impact. And this summer, everyone is incorporating intricate prints, floral patterns and lighter warm-weather hues. Similar to mixing prints, you really have to play around with lots different shades before you pull off a winning look. Trust me, I reworked this outfit about four times before I called it quits.   

I love this breezy fit-and-flare dress because it takes a lot of the guesswork out of styling! It blends a medley of blue hues with bold crisscrossing patterns and pretty flower designs. I paired it with a light-wash denim jacket, a bold belt and navy sneakers, for a look that's oh so blue!

Happy New Year! Yes, it has been that long since I last posted. I hope you are all off to a great 2016. Here in LA, it’s been unseasonably cold and I have been unseasonably busy.   My schedule has been packed with travel, work and fun—so I have very few complaints.

With the New Year, came a fresh new ‘do for me! My hairdresser convinced me to cut off SIX INCHES. And so for the first time in forever, I have short hair. Technically it is called a LOB and though I hate the name, I am really starting to love the look!

This morning I am chilly and oh so sleepy (if you can’t tell) so I decided to go for a very casual, very weekend-feel ensemble. I have always been into turtlenecks, on trend or not, so when I saw this striped one from LOFT I was sold—immediately.  Oh and what is better than a pink blanket scarf in February? Not much! The combo is quite cozy. To be honest though, I can’t really take credit for anything I am wearing today. My mom and sister bought me all the pieces for my birthday— aren’t they just great? 

Oh and the BEST part about this look? Almost everything is on SALE right now! I’ve included all the links below.

Enjoy!
