Summer Doesn’t Have To End!

admin — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 04:27:07 +0000

Summer doesn’t always have to end … especially if you live in LA 😉 No but seriously, with the constant change of weather I’m making my summer pieces last a bit longer this year. If this Fall is anything like last season, I will be sweating my butt off in 80 degree weather while I attempt to layer and stomp around in heavy boots as if it ever snows here. So this time around I want to make my favorite styles last a bit longer while introducing some fall trends to keep up with the rat pack. I’m o b s e s s e d with this little blue floral number that I found from Wylie Grey. They offer some of the cutest, most trend driven staples edited down to perfection with a friendly price point for a pleasant online shopping experience. This dress for only $89 has just been the easiest thing to throw on during these painfully long heat waves while still feeling cute in a ruffle number. To phase a dress like this in to Fall I love the idea of wearing an oversized houndstooth tailored blazer like this one for a little pattern play or the […]

Never A Wrong Time For Polka Dot

Never a wrong time for polka dot .. As Marc Jacobs so eloquently put it “I don’t think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot …”! My thoughts exactly Mr. Jacobs, because there never really is. As we endure scorching temperatures here in LA, reaching 97 degrees yesterday, it’s been quite challenging to get excited for fall. So I shall call this my “transitional look” with some spunky bows and polka dots of course. A light weight dress like this is perfect in these awkward days as we patiently wait. Patiently wait for the temperatures to drop so that we can finally throw on those boots that keep staring at us in the closet and peacefully sip on our steaming hot seasonal drinks with out wiping sweat off our foreheads. I paired this dress with simple, strappy heels and a denim jacket over the shoulders for when the chillier LA evenings creep around again. It gives an elevated yet effortless look for this time of year. So ladies, take advantage of this time. I know we all so badly want to curl up in an over sized sweater and our favorite pair of boots but soon we will be longing for warmer weather […]

Fall Fashion: Simplify Your Style

Simplify your style … Fall might be one of the most loved seasons over the year simply because it’s the most fun to dress for. Colder weather allows for more layering which means more opportunity for trends, unexpected styling and cozy, comfortable looks. But what do you do when the weather just isn’t cooperating? When you are over summer dressing but it’s just not cold enough to pull out your favorite sweaters and oversized jackets just yet. Well I use this transitional period to simplify my fall looks with easy throw on dresses. It’s comfortable, breathable and can easily pass for fall dressing by pairing with some cute booties or over the knee boots. I always love to add a wool hat to complete the look because it’s another element of styling with out actually layering the look and complicating the simplicity of the ensemble. This dress from Noa Elle embodies everything I was looking for. I love the billowy sleeves and lace detail making this little black dress more than just your little black dress.
