The Look for Less: Cult Gaia Ark Bag Under $50

For my inaugural “Look for Less” post I’m sharing dupes for one of the trendiest bags of the summer: the Cult Gaia Ark Bag.  Don’t get me wrong– I’ll splurge for a nice investment piece! But I knew that the Cult Gaia bag was something I would only wear for four days during my vacation, then toss to the back of my closet.  Thats when you turn to the Look

Oversized Off-White Hoodie

It was just another day out in sunny L.A…. well, sort of.  The torrential downpour of late decided to let up for a moment so I stepped out in this oversized Off-White marble hoodie for some fresh air.  I love to borrow from the boys; usually its “streetwear” tee’s but a big hoodie is just as cute and even cozier.  Sneakers seemed like the obvious choice, but I went with some

Embroidered Denim on Denim

Easy, messy, casual— all keywords I love that are perfectly embodied by this lazy day denim on denim outfit.  I usually prefer a darker wash for a more polished look, but if I’m going light I figure why not really go for it.  The distressed denim with a raw hem makes it a bit extra messy, and the embroidered jacket adds a little extra detail to break it all up.

Romantic Little Black Skater Dress for Valentine’s Day

Whether you’re planning for a big Valentine’s Date Night or a simple Galentine’s Dinner, chances are you’re overthinking what to wear next week.  It’s easy to overdo the reds and pinks on Valentine’s Day, so I like to turn to a staple– the Little Black Skater Dress.  Too many times I’ve purchased a little red dress for a special date night only to then let it collect dust in my closet… a

All Black with a Cold Shoulder

My favorite fit this season has been a chunky knit + endless stacks of gold accessories.  This off-the-shoulder wrap sweater by Romwe has been perfect for the California winter.  I know boat neck isn’t the epitome of warmth, but it’s as thick as a cozy blanket and the cold shoulders allow for some leeway when the random heat waves strike. It’s hard to go wrong with all black, but even so I like

DIY Embroidered Gucci Denim Jacket

Both high fashion and fast fashion seem to agree, the patch trend is back!  Embroidery may be everywhere right now, but it wasn’t until Alessandro Michele launched Gucci Garden that it caught my eye– the snake motif especially.  I fell in love with the embroidered Gucci denim jacket, but I wanted something a little more personalized and less of a splurge and thus this quick DIY was born. This DIY is perfect for those

The New Business Casual

I can’t even tell you how long I’ve been searching for the perfect blazer.  Read as: boyfriend fit, a bit of structure, able to dress up or down.  Business casual is a weird category of dress as it is, but I think it’s boundaries are especially flexible here in L.A.  I decided to dress up some vintage Levi’s and a white v-neck with a sort of over-the-top statement necklace, my

The All White Dress Set

If you’re in Los Angeles this week, I feel your pain and I have a few questions for you. How are you escaping the heat this Indian Summer, and consequently where are your favorite ice-cream spots in West Hollywood? All white after Labor Day may be a (silly) traditional faux-pas, but all I’ve been living in this week of 100°+ weather is this breezy little linen, all white dress set from

The Heavy Metal Band Shirt

One of the biggest trends of Summer ’16 has been the casual, effortless cool of the vintage band shirt.  Beyond just vintage, artists like Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Zayn Malik and more have stylized their tour merch to give a nod to rock tee’s of the past. Not just for the festival, band shirts are super easy to dress both up or down– and bonus: they look great with a serious case of

Lust List: Top 10 Crossbody Bags

Here are my Top 10 Crossbody Bags for transitioning from Summer to Fall!  They’re all the perfect size for just your essentials, but what makes these bags so great are the interesting textures, unique hardware, and rich variety of colors.  Warm earthy tones and dark purples are perfect for fall, and it may be the only time of year when I welcome fringe.  I even let a bit of leopard
