HIT THE TOWN

Los Angeles, CA

Hitting the bars with your hometown pals the night before Thanksgiving? Well you're not alone. Apparently it's the biggest bar night of the year. And while I usually skip the pub crawl so that I can enjoy my stuffing sans a hangover, this year I am meeting up with some of my fam in the city- wish me luck!

I always have a bit of trouble transitioning from west to east coast with outfits. It takes me a day to remember what winter dressing in cold weather is all about. However, I think I can pull off this breezy look with the addition of a scarf, hat, cropped jacket and gloves... you know, just a few hundred layers. And since this night could call for a lot of bouncing around to meet up with people at various places, I definitely try to dress comfy. Whether it’s jeans, leggings, a skirt or a dress, I go for something that is easy and dance-friendly. 

If you decide to wear jeans or leggings, then go for a bit more detail with your top.  I love this burgundy cropped number because the open back is equally as chic as the front. Top off the look with a cute pair of booties and you'll be good to go!

Long Weekend Style

Culver City, CA

I hope you're all enjoying the holiday break! I'm back in New England visiting family and friends and we're hitting the refresh button with an agenda that consists of eating pie for breakfast and sleeping in late. Oh, AND I got to meet my new little niece Ellery! I like to sit and stare at her for hours. So while I have to admit, I haven't been all that active, it's still been pretty amazing. 

These overalls from SHEIN are perfect for all things casual. They're comfy, cute and a nice change from basic jeans. If you're afraid to try on the overall trend (like I was just a few years ago) just be sure to wear them with grown-up accessories (like a structured bag or booties), avoid plaid and cuff the legs. 

Check out all of the Black Friday Sales below, most of them are still going, but hurry, lots end tonight!

Long Weekend Love

Venice, CA

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone! 

While I don’t necessarily love the idea that Labor Day signifies the end of summer, I can't deny that the long weekend festivities that coincide with this holiday are pretty great. And this year, I've decided to follow the LA trend and head out of the city for a mini vacay of sorts. Back on the east coast with family and friends, we're hitting the refresh button with an agenda that consists of: relaxing & overeating. So far, it's been pretty wonderful.

I am such a big fan of this floral off-the-shoulder dress from Forever 21.  These photos were snapped on the way to my pal's BBQ dinner the other night but really, it's been my go-to for all events lately. The colors are rich and the flowy design is ultra-flattering on all body types. It's great for a brunch date or daytime gathering but also, if you throw on a pair of wedges (and a jean jacket) like I did here-- it works well for casual dinner too.
