Another of the 2019’s most accessible street style trends? Plaid! This pattern always […]
Fashion Week Trends Worth Wearing: Layered Earth Tones
My interest in fashion definitely peaks in the fall. Maybe it’s because I’m oh-so-ready to trade in my summer uniform of shorts and a tee, or perhaps it’s because I’ve never been able to stop thinking of September as back-to-school shopping time. Whatever the reason, whenever the fall fashion week trends hit the streets, I’m […]
Honor MD: The ONLY Skincare I’ve Used to the Last Drop!
My whole life, I’ve bounced around from skincare line to skincare line, never finding The One that I was totally happy with.

Madewell x Christy Dawn Limited Edition Collection
When I first moved to LA and was exploring the city, I stumbled upon a dreamy shop near the beach. Airy, breezy dresses with relaxed silhouettes lined the racks, and artsy photo books mingled with incense and cut-off shorts on the display tables. That shop? It was Christy Dawn, and in the years since I’ve […]

Utility Jumpsuit Styling for Spring 2019
Last spring I bought a utility jumpsuit and wore it nearly into the ground. It quickly became my go-to when I wanted to look cool but be comfortable, and didn’t want to have to put too much effort into it. It’s been hanging in my closet all winter, waiting patiently for its second go-round this […]
7 Beauty MVP’s in My Winter Skincare Routine
My complexion, which is not the most cooperative to begin with, has really been through the wringer these past few months.

Plus every […]
Reflections on the Power of Tradition with Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.
Confession: I’ve basically been counting the days ’til Christmas since last April. Maybe it’s because of the heavy year we’ve had politically in this country, or maybe it’s just because I’m getting more nostalgic as I grow older, but whatever the reason, I’m feeling especially ready for the warmth and cheer that accompanies the holiday […]

I’m calling it: The holidays are here. I’ve been trying to hold out ’til Thanksgiving to start up my Christmas carol playlists, but I caved last week and it’s been holly jolly around here ever since.

Tips for Repairing Overexposed Skin with Dr. Loretta
Earlier this month I got the chance to meet with a true pioneer, and it was awesome. I sat down for a chat with Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Loretta Ciraldo, who was one of the original researchers to study the effects of sun on the skin—waaaay back in the 1970’s when it first occurred to doctors […]
