California Dreaming
I have become such a California girl when it comes to cold weather. There is definitely an argument to be made for experiencing all four seasons, but I don’t hate that I laid out in my backyard in a swimsuit on Sunday in the 85 degree weather. That’s not the only thing I love about […]
Wearing Many Hats
With the second week of January coming to a close, I think it’s finally time to put away our “Happy New Year!” greetings and come to terms with the fact that 2015 is in full swing! This year, I’m embracing all of the many hats that I wear– mama, wife, stylist, blogger, friend– and choosing […]
Dressing up the Leather Jacket
I used to think that the biggest temptation this time of the year were the sweet treats being passed around at every turn, but now the older and wiser me realizes that the real temptation is shopping for yourself while checking off that holiday list. Am I right? How are we supposed to resist all […]
Holiday Party Attire
Thanksgiving is still a week away and yet the holiday invites have already begun piling up on my desk. Have you started planning your holiday outfits? Dress them up or dress them down, one of my favorite trends for holiday dressing is the printed silk pant. It’s great because you can wear them just about […]
Dressed-Up Sweatpant
It’s no secret that these last two months of the year are jam-packed with events, engagements, and errand-running galore. I often talk about the need for looks that can play chameleon with my ever-changing schedule, and the “sweat pant for day” trend is perfect for running around, grabbing a quick bite, an afternoon meeting, or […]
New York, I Love You
Do you have a spirit place? The concept had never occurred to me before reading this post, but after a little consideration I knew without a doubt that my spirt place is New York City. I was 18 when I first visited as the most enthusiastic tourist Manhattan has ever seen. There is this convergence […]
It’s a Jungle Out There
Did you know that there are less than a hundred days left before the end of the year? As we turn the corner into fall, the countdown on the last 25% of this year has begun and my schedule seems to have naturally gone into overdrive. I spent part of last week in New York, […]
My Life, Styled :: White After Labor Day
It seems time that we settle this little debate one once and for all: while the idea of not wearing white after Labor Day has been around for more than a century, passed down from one generation to the next, I think it’s safe to say that it’s no longer relevant. For starters, take a […]
My Life, Styled :: High-Waisted Denim
They say you can judge the economy by the rise and fall of the current season’s hemlines. If the same is true for waistlines, then I would say things are looking up! I’m not afraid to admit that in high school I owned denim so low that the zipper became some sort of superfluous accessory […]
My Life Styled :: The Working Mom Thing
Oh the life of the working mom. While I don’t plan on being fully back to work until she is about six months (and even that is up for discussion– I’m rather attached to this baby with her full head of hair), I’ve been having a babysitter come a few hours a week now that Aaron […]
My Life Styled :: The Midi Dress
This week marks a big milestone. It’s my first week back to styling since having Parker and it’s come with mixed emotions. While I’m already missing her sweet, soft baby snuggles, it has been really satisfying to be back doing what I love and creating looks. Plus, I have to admit it’s been fun to […]
My Life, Styled :: Sightseeing Attire
It’s hard to think of summer without imagining some glamorous getaway. We are staying a little closer to home this year since we now have a three month old in tow, but our adventures in years past have helped me hone in on my favorite getaway garb. For starters, it needs to be versatile. Can […]
My Life, Styled :: Breakfast In Bed
With my due date just five weeks away and all of my styling jobs wrapped, I’m starting to take it a little easier and enjoy these last few weeks while this little one is still in my belly. (From what I hear, a whole lot is about to change when she makes her debut!) I’ve […]
My Life, Styled :: Winter Pastels
Remember this time last year when neon was all the rage? Well, it’s time to trade in those bright Cambridge satchels for something a little softer. Pastels were seen floating down the spring runways of Burberry, Jason Wu, and Prabal Gurung, and just because spring hasn’t yet sprung, doesn’t mean you can’t begin incorporating them into your wardrobe […]
My Life, Styled :: The Griffith Observatory
Some days just beg you to get outdoors, don’t they? We’ve been having an unusually warm winter here, and it has a lot of people complaining about the record high temps during what are supposed to be the chillier months. But honestly: we live in Southern California… winter is not part of the deal. Personally, I’m […]
My Life, Styled :: Shopping Silver Lake
With just 11 weeks until this little girl’s due date, January is shaping up to be a busy month! Between styling projects, blog shoots, and working on this little one’s nursery, it feels like I’m constantly out shopping these days. While malls can be a super convenient one-stop shop, I’ve been challenging myself to explore […]
My Life, Styled :: New Year’s Eve
Confession: I know it’s supposed to be over-rated and the like, but I’d like to just say that New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite holidays! For one, it’s characterized by champagne, sequins, and just about anything sparkly, so what’s not to love about that? Not to mention, I have a real, inexplicable fondness […]
My Life, Styled :: Timeless Style
Happy December, friends! Can you believe it’s upon us already? With baby girl on the way, there’s something about this holiday season that feels extra special, so I’m doing my best this month to really savor every moment. That means actually making all of those festive recipes I pin and then usually forget about, shopping […]
My Life, Styled :: Out & About in Fall
I don’t know what the weather’s been like where you are, but here in LA the past couple of weeks have been all over the map! We were in the 90’s one day last week and then two days later down in the 40’s… how is a girl supposed to dress appropriately?! It’s certainly been […]
My Life, Styled :: A Sweet Treat
Thanksgiving is just over three weeks away, but here in LA things have been generally warm and sunny. I can’t complain, though, right? Generally warm and sunny weather is what you sign up for when you move here. Regardless, I have been trying to find ways to incorporate a little bit of fall into my […]
My Life, Styled :: Headed for Fall
Though I’ve been praying for cooler temperatures and changing leaves, I’m also fully aware of the inexplicable irony that six months from now I will surely be counting down the days to warm summer weather and long summer nights… why is it that we’re always ready for the next season? In LA, we’ve been greeted […]
My Life, Styled :: Day Off at Vista Theatre
As I am sitting here staring down my to do list and typing this post, I can’t help by daydream about a much needed day off! September has been chock full of super fun styling projects and blog collaborations, and I’ve been going non-stop these days! Not to mention, this growing bump seems to be depleting some […]
My Life, Styled :: A Stylist’s Office
Happy September, friends! I hope this month is off to a great start for you all! Has anyone been following what’s happening at Fashion Week in NYC? I have been working non-stop these last couple of weeks and I sadly ended up having to postpone my trip until October… so instead of fashion shows and […]
My Life, Styled :: Modern & Feminine
Did anyone watch the VMAs this weekend? Even more than scoping out the red carpet looks, I love to see what the artists wear to perform. I loved the whole concept of Katy Perry in the boxing ring and her back up dancers in stylized sweatshirts and sweatpants, complete with faux sweat, of course. And […]
