My Life, Styled :: Femme Florals

Is it just me, or is springtime filled with tons of girls-only engagements?  From bridal showers to baby showers to sunday brunches, there seems to be no end to girly gatherings. Last Friday I decided to host one of my own… if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, right?  There have been lots of exciting […]

My Life, Styled :: After Hours

While I wouldn’t exactly characterize any of my work days as “typical”, most of my obligations tend to include some form of a casual meeting — whether at a showroom taking in a new collection or meeting with a client over lunch. And my evenings are usually a combination of work and play — none […]

My Life, Styled :: Staycation

Is anybody else psyched that it’s March? Jen here, and the warm weather and longer days always remind me that it’s time to take a vacation… but with Aaron traveling so much this year, I actually found myself daydreaming about a couple days at home together more than any other exotic locales. A couple weekends […]

My Life, Styled :: Valentine’s Day Date

Happy Valentine’s week! My husband, Aaron, travels a lot for work, so we somehow always find ourselves in separate states for Valentine’s Day.  It may not be the most romantic way to spend the holiday, but we try to make up for it when he comes home on the weekend. Whether your significant other is […]

My Life, Styled :: Working It From Home

When I first started assisting stylists, I began to wonder why I even had an apartment. It seemed between all of the pick-ups and drop-offs and showroom appointments that I was living out of my car! Fast forward to present day and not a whole lot has changed. While there are still plenty of appointments, […]

My Life, Styled :: Crazy for Coats

True story: There was frost on my car this morning when I was headed to the gym! That may not sound like a big deal to some of you, but it’s a pretty rare occurrence here in Southern California. It took everything in me not to run inside and jump back under the covers. While […]

My Life, Styled :: Style Resolutions

Happy New Year!  I hope your 2013 is off to a fabulous start! I always look forward to this time of year when we get a fresh start. I am a pretty goal-oriented person year round, so this whole new year’s resolution thing just justifies my small obsession with asking people about their five year […]

My Life, Styled :: Christmas with the In-Laws

How is it possible that there is just one week remaining before Christmas Day? It’s been quite a busy month — I styled an advertising campaign and editorial in Puerto Rico, a mondo shoot for Warner Brothers, and a project for JCPenney just in the first two weeks! Needless to say, I’m very much looking […]

My Life, Styled :: Up And Away

We are headed to Austin this week for the holiday and I (Jen) am counting down the minutes! I am also already planning my day-of-travel outfit, which is pretty much my airport uniform at this point. While there are plenty of instances when getting dressed is purely a fun, creative expression of style, dressing for air […]

My Life, Styled :: Very Vintage

The first time I (Jen) walked into Decades on Melrose, I was literally speechless. I was picking up a vintage Birkin that a client was purchasing from Cameron, the owner of Decades and the largest collector of Hermes in the world.  When I walked in, I was greeted by glass cases of vintage jewelry sandwiched between stacks of […]

My Life, Styled :: Creative Business

When I tell people that I’m a wardrobe stylist, a common reaction is, “Your job must be so fun!  Do you just go shopping all of the time?!” Oh how I wish the answer to that question was a whole hearted ‘Yes!‘ While there are really fun moments where I’m shopping in high-end designer boutiques or styling really […]
