When I spoke to you at the end of May, I was in crisis mode. I was thinking about all of the people who lost their jobs, and their access to food, and when I finally felt like there were some community initiatives in place to help others, I then worried about everyone’s mental health. I could have never imagined all that June would bring. From more COVID-19 cases, political division, and racial tensions, to an economic recession, a dust bowl, and finally re-opening (followed by new closures)…June was unprecedented. I saw a meme that put it best: we basically lived through

Lately, I’ve been swooning over these darling bows and barrettes from Jennifer Behr. All of Behr’s headpieces are made in New York by hand. You may be familiar with Behr because of her Swarovski crystal-laden combs and hairpins (bridal favorites) or her numerous headbands on Gossip Girl over the years. More recently, I spotted a Jennifer Behr bow (including the ones below) on countless celebrities at the award shows– a testament to the classic accessory becoming a recent trend–and now I’m obsessed. A simple addition, but ultimate impact. Shop the look: *This post contains affiliate links.
Read MoreThe Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts tomorrow for everyone, but if you’re like me and (possibly) shop too much, you will have taken advantage of Early Access a few days prior. I was always a Nordy Girl at heart, but I didn’t really pay attention to the sales until I became a cardholder. Now, I’m thinking about how to maximize my points and orchestrating a detailed search for coveted items possibly on sale. To no one’s surprise, the items I wanted most were not on sale, but that didn’t stop me from picking up a few pieces. One thing to note (if you’re

There are trends that I think are okay to indulge in, and there are trends I feel everyone should pass on. There is very seldom a trend that becomes a staple item in my closet, however. That’s hard to do. But the Stuart Weitzman Edgeout Sandal is that anomaly. I first spotted these slides at the end of Spring, along with the satin sandal among the likes of Gianvito Rossi, Dolce Vita, and unsurprisingly, Forever 21. I even included the red pair in the “Shop My Style Favorites” section on the blog (those are real beauties, IMO). They are simple

Although you can’t tell by the current torrential rain in Los Angeles, we are soon approaching spring–the perfect time for a visit to your local farmer’s market for flowers and fruit, or just a day at the beach. In my family, the best bag for these occasions is a simple French market tote. We’ve picked them up on trips while in France, at boutiques in California’s wine country, and even at local flea markets. They’re practical, well made, and look like you’ve been on a recent trip to Europe, even when you haven’t. You can find them with different color
