One fashion trend we can’t shake is the tassels trend. I wrote about it last fall, and it’s hot as ever for summer. At first, the tassels trend was only for accessories, especially bags and jewelry. For summer, tassels are on everything – dresses, tops, swimwear, shoes. Honestly, I love them. The more colorful the…
I’ve always avoided jumpsuits. They hardly ever were flattering on my figure. Most often, my torso was too long so they would fit all wrong. But after years of avoiding them, I found one that finally flatters my figure. Ironically, it combines another fashion trend I have often avoided – wide leg pants. However, I…
Fashion trends come and go, but some styles have a remarkable staying power. One such style is the front twist dress, which has been captivating fashion enthusiasts for decades. This versatile garment is a perfect blend of sophistication and modernity. In this blog post, I will delve into the intricacies of the front twist dress,…
We’re in the heart of summer, so let’s talk about a summer staple: white linen dresses. I got more into linen this year to prepare for my Greece trip. I invested in a pair of white linen pants and a white linen button-down top that were perfect versatile pieces for the trip. White linen dresses…
I’m heading to Greece this week, so I’ve been doing a lot of summer shopping to revamp my wardrobe. This Palazzo pants set made the cut. Even though I styled it by adding a see-through tank over the top, the top underneath matches with the pants. I chose to wear the other tank on top…
women Denim is a major trend this spring. A denim dress, denim bags, denim boots, denim everything. I’m personally loving the denim trend because it goes with everything, and is comfortable. I actually got this denim dress last spring for a western event. Now, I’m styling it for a more modern look. Benefits of a…
We’re nearing the end of summer but it’s actually been the warmest it’s been all year in LA lately. I recently got this lavender mini dress from Fashion Nova. I had never shopped there before but one of my friends suggested it for jeans. Unfortunately, I didn’t love the jeans, but I did find this…
Do you have a favorite accessory? For me, it’s by far, sunglasses. I own probably 30 pairs of sunglasses, but I’m always on the hunt for a new pair. I own a lot of classic pairs but not many ultra-modern ones. When I saw these Louis Vuitton cat-eye sunglasses on their site, I knew…
What’s your go-to work style in the summer? Lately, I’ve been into lightweight slacks with cute jackets. I recently got this lace jacket, and I definitely think it’s going to get a lot of wear this summer. Summers in LA are not that much different than winters. Beyond a few weeks near the end of…
I finally jumped on the wide brim hats bandwagon and I’m not looking back. Judith March recently gifted this gorgeous white wide brim fedora and I absolutely fell in love with it. It is quite outside of my normal style, but I’m here for it. Are You a Hat Person? Case in point, the other…
Every summer, I buy a new white dress. When we shot this look, Jade asked me, “haven’t we shot that before?” It was a fair question since this one looks very similar. But I love this white ruffle hem dress too because of the all-over eyelet material. Plus, the fit is very flattering and comfortable….
I recently got a new straw bag and I’m in love. Summer straw bags are so versatile this time of year. They travel so easily from beach to brunch to any other time. They really are the perfect bags for summer. If you’re looking for affordable summer straw bags, I’ve linked 10 below that are…
Los Angeles is in bloom! I love jacaranda season, as I call it. These purple flowering trees are my absolute favorite. Ironically, my very first blog post (8 years ago!) was about my love of the jacaranda trees back when we lived in Irvine. The other day I was at the park with my kids…
For my day job, I work in higher education. Every job I’ve had over the last 15 years started in the summer. It’s the nature of the business I’m in, and that means I’ve had a lot of summer job interviews over the years. Since I’ve had a lot of experience, I thought I’d share…
For the longest time, I shied away from wearing shorts and sleeveless tops. I have broad shoulders and broad hips, so I tried to cover up those areas. In the summer, I tended to wear mostly a-line dresses that hit at the knee, or other flowy dresses. More recently, I started trying out new things…
