You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape that swimsuit season is upon us!  Most of us can agree on a love for fun in the sun, but swimsuit shopping can still be an issue.  Your best bet is going to be choosing a swim suit that best fits your usual style personality and then putting together the whole look.  Few people are super comfortable in a teeny bikini, but throw on a great cover-up and chic accessories … +more

There are certain rules in life that are made to be broken.  For example, “everything in moderation”.  Sometimes a little excess is just the right amount.  And how about  the “no cocktails before five” rule?  Brunch sans mimosas just isn’t brunch at all.  How do you feel about the “only wearing white from Easter to Labor Day” clause?  Personally, I threw that one out the window a long time ago!  Sometimes bright white on a grey day is just what … +more

How were your weekends, friends?  My trip to Austin went by way too fast!  I loved every minute I was able to spend with my family, and even snuck in some time with Camille, Erin, and Katie celebrating Mark and Graham in Texas.  I am trying to channel all of that rest and relaxation into this incredibly busy week.  Tomorrow we are shooting back to back features for TEC and tomorrow I continue prepping for a quick styling trip to … +more

Have you noticed all of the sixties influences in fashion right now?  I was over on Camille Styles yesterday talking all things sixties fashion.  You can see it in the round-toe ballet flats with the short stacked heel, the straight swing coats à la Jackie Kennedy and the short shift dresses that are oh-so-mod!

A simple shift dress is one of the most versatile things you can have hanging in your closet.  Dress it up with a stacked heel and an … +more

Happy monday, friends!  How were your weekends?  On Saturday night we said farewell to some of our closest friends out here who are moving to Nashville.  Even though LA is such a transient city, and it’s common for people to come and go, it doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to such great friends.  The upside is that it was hosted at Edendale, a great little bar and restaurant in the building of an old firehouse.  A really … +more

While most accessories tend to be a one-size-fits-all situation, sunglasses are definitely not. How many times have you picked up a cute pair of shades, only to be less than thrilled with the way they fit your face when you looked in the mirror? The truth is, specific styles work better for different face shapes.  No matter how much you love those oversized Tom Ford sunnies, if your features are petite, they probably aren’t the way to go.  Last week … +more

 The tale of this trench coat is one we all know too well.  You plan for a vacation.  You read all of the books.  You check the weather.  You make a packing list.  You pack everything on said list… and still, somehow, there is always that one item that you wish would have magically made it’s way into your suitcase.  Last month when I was in Melbourne, all signs pointed to warm, sunny days.  The first day lived up to … +more

The first time I dipped my toe into the pool of designer tees I was 21, in college at The University of Texas, and had just gone through a break up. Naturally I was out shopping on “the drag” and trying to forget the previous relationship by indulging in some serious retail therapy.  ”You have to layer them, ” the hip sales gal told me.  Before I knew it, I had spent a month’s worth of lunch money on an off … +more
