Jewelry is probably one of the biggest holes in my wardrobe. Other than my engagement ring, there’s nothing I wear every day—and I’m always forgetting to pull from my paltry collection when I’m getting dressed in the morning. What it largely comes down to is how huge and overwhelming the jewelry landscape is. There are […]
The ramp-up to the holidays is real, you guys. It’s not even Halloween yet I’m already talking with family, friends, and colleagues about our Thanksgiving and Christmas plans. I’m determined this year to keep things as sweet and simple as possible, and I’m laying the foundation for a stress-free season with a renewed commitment to my minimalist […]
Hooray for Friday! I’m jumping for joy about the weekend. Though I’m working all weekend—with a photo shoot, a mentoring session, and an event at Light Lab—I’m thrilled that I’ll be able to concentrate on those things without my inbox piling up while my back is turned! Oh, and you know what else I’m thrilled […]
Happy Friday, everyone! Just in time for some weekend style inspiration, I’ve got another post in my Science of Fashion series with Catherine of The Life Styled! One of my hands-down most important closet staples for any season is a perfect white button down, and I’ve got a few that I rotate with my favorite jeans for fall. But the […]
Remember last week when we visited the minimalist modern office of beauty guru David Pirrotta? Today we’re squeezing just a little more know-how from the lauded industry veteran, who helms up David Pirotta Brands, a full-service consulting firm for today’s most coveted skincare, haircare and makeup labels. David has his finger on the pulse of the […]
Heaven knows I love a good sale, and I’m definitely no stranger to stalking a pair of shoes or a sweater throughout the season until the discounts hit. The trouble is, of course, that once you nab your prey, the number of weeks you can wear it before the temperatures change are often short and bittersweet! That’s exactly […]
All year I’ve been reciting the same refrain: I have a closet full of great clothes but wear only a small percentage of them. I’m in a rut born of convenience, reaching for a few basic items on repeat and styling them with zero imagination. It’s a pattern that I’ll bet a lot of us stumble into! […]
Do you have brands whose every move you watch like a hawk? Labels from whom you’d buy entire collections if only you had unlimited funds? Companies whose values, voice, and visuals embody everything that you yourself stand for? I have a few like that, and FREDA SALVADOR is one of them. Ever since the brand debuted their edgy yet wearable shoes in […]
Sure it’s in the high 90’s here in Los Angeles and much of the rest of the country. But that’s just one more reason to let our imaginations wander towards the cooler climes of fall and all the fashion goodness that it brings! The September issues are starting to hit the stands and I’m eagerly […]
By now I think we can all agree that pastels are as season-less as black and white, yes? Or maybe that’s just how I’m justifying the blush leather tote I’ve got my eye on from the new-to-me accessories brand Dear Survivor. Summer might be half over (say it ain’t so!), but I can still dream about adding a […]
It’s been a little while since I popped in with a wedding planning update, mostly because, well, there isn’t one! Since moving the wedding to next April and designing our DIY save-the-dates last spring, we’ve taken a pause with the knowledge that most of the big pieces are already in place. We have a venue, a […]
When I was a kid I loved to play in the mud. Buried deep in the family photo archives are pictures of me covered head to toe in thick red Georgia clay, the only part of me visible the huge toothy grin that expressed my utter joy to be rolling in the dirt. Though it’s been […]
