This week, temperatures in LA have taken a nose dive. Instead of sweltering our way through triple-digit days, we’re enjoying balmy highs of 90. No, it’s not enough to make me trade my cutoffs for a cardigan. But combine the more manageable weather with the fact that it’s officially September and suddenly I’m able to have […]
I have this one pair of jeans that just works. They pair perfectly with everything in my closet, and no matter how I’m feeling they lift my spirits—and my butt! You’d think this high praise would go to the $300 fancy-pants denim I splurged on last spring, but they’re just my humble Madewell skinnies from […]
I’m a total romantic when it comes to the lost art of dressing. Gents in proper toppers! Ladies in gloves and silk stockings! Sure I’m comfy in my jeans and Birks most days. However there’s something to be said for the sense of poise and pride that comes with being polished and put-together—and if your […]
When you were a kid, did you ever storm into a room where your parents were quietly minding their own business and announce with the maximum drama possible: “I’m BORED!”? Lately my fashion sensibility is that bratty, ennuied little girl. She remains stolidly unimpressed with this season’s trends (Off-the-shoulder peasant blouses? Really? Are we going […]
If you're like me, every year after spring cleaning your closet you find yourself in need of a few new warm weather staples. You know the ones I mean…the now ragged cutoffs, tanks, and sneakers you reached for so often that by Labor Day they were ready for a permanent vacation. Culling the worn-out items […]
Even though I love style, enjoy following trends, and have fun incorporating the ones I like into my wardrobe, I loathe how throwaway and frivolous the fashion cycle can feel. After all, who amongst us has the budget (or the conscience) to replace nearly new clothes when they start to feel dated six months later? […]
Think of this not as outfit post but as a two part public service announcement. First of all, have you watched Peaky Blinders on Netflix? If the answer is no, you gotta get on it. Not only are the plot and characters utterly addictive, but the costume design will enamor you with its tailored, textured minimalism. Think […]
I have always been fascinated by the crossover of different industries. I love to see how seemingly unrelated fields inform and inspire each other, and to discover what can be learned at the points of intersection. So when Lincoln Black Label reached out and asked me to view a home that's been designed to embody the four […]
Do you have a fashion white whale? You know, that item for which you’ve been searching endlessly, seeking The One that fits all of your specifications? I have a few: the perfect trench, the perfect knee high boot, the perfect little black dress. I have a vision in my mind of how each will look, […]
Contrary to what you might imagine, Los Angeles does get chilly in the winter. However it's a fickle kind of cold, the sort that starts with a snap in the morning and can either last all day or burn off steadily until it's noon and you find yourself mopping the perspiration from your brow. And […]
We're living in an era of mom clothes: slouchy pants, baggy knits, and comfy, flat-soled shoes. And when I say mom clothes, I mean it with the greatest of compliments. My mom has been rocking the oversized look for as long as I can remember, and increasingly it's my sole sartorial to emulate her. […]
The word on the street is that neutrals—shades of tan, beige, sand, ecru—are the new black. And indeed, magazines and fashion blogs are rife with galleries of neatly turned out women strutting their stuff in camel coats, winter whites, and monochromatic shades of pale that look at once elegantly considered and effortlessly chic. But I've […]
