The temps are all over the place in LA, but when things were cooler last week, I had the pleasure of pulling out some fall favorites. Including this Frye poncho and Frye booties. Both have a Western vibe, which I think we’ll be seeing a lot of this fall. I like how this style looks slightly different than something like a cardigan and round-toe booties. It feels fresh for fall, you know? Frye is always great at keeping things classic with a twist, and I’m happy to add more of their staples to my closet.
I kept Western flowing with a belt and hat, but added some black jeans and fun fish net socks for a touch of whimsy. All Western wouldn’t have been me – I had to add some edge.
And if you aren’t familiar with the setting of these photos, let me introduce you to LACMA – one of my favorite Los Angeles locations for shooting or hanging out. There are 202 lampstands in this “Urban Light” art fixture, and the kids and I love it. It’s these unique landmarks that make LA feel so cool, and we come here often. If you’re ever in town, I recommend stopping by or shooting here. It makes for great photos.

Red and camel are one of my favorite color combinations. Reid’s aunt gave me a vintage camel coat and I couldn’t get enough. This combination is so classic and camel seems to highlight most colors like red. Notably so, this sweater is under $40, so don’t feel badly about this impulse purchase. I don’t think I’m the only one who is having the hardest time not buying all the sweaters. I wish my girls would wear them because they look so cute on them with leggings. As I write, I’m wearing one and sweating, ha. Gotta love SoCal Winters. Since red sweaters are so essential and you probably own or should own at least one this holiday season, I rounded up 5 red sweaters under $168.
Happy Weekend!

I recently did a shoot for UK Magazine GATE Magazine UK wearing Tatiana Karelina hair extensions. It was so fun to transform a look with this gorgeous braided hair! Honestly, I was sad when it came off. I loved wearing this lace bell sleeve top with the braid and flared jeans. Speaking of cute top, I’m sharing some on extra 20% off below, perfect for your mom, sisters and friends. Happy Thursday!

I’ve never really been a beauty junkie and have always just relied on recommendations from friends, but funny enough, being a mom to two curious girls who are starting to be interested in beauty, it’s more on my radar. Of course they’re too young to actually wear anything, but it’s sweet when they want to watch me apply makeup or try it out.
A good friend of mine, who happens to be beauty obsessed, introduced me to Birchbox and it’s become my new go-to for discovering the best products. Since I’m not one to head into stores looking for products, I love that it comes to me – without having to do much on my end. It’s like the best of the best at my doorstep, which is everything as a mom to 4. Have you guys tried it? If not, here’s how it works. I get five personalized samples a month – tailored to my hair type, skin concerns and other preferences (you take a quiz) – and since I don’t have time to shop for beauty, let alone know what’s best for my skin and hair, I love that Birchbox does the work for me.
My favorite new finds: a few Benefit products I had been curious about and finally got to try are That Gal Primer and Dallas powder.
Beyond the monthly box, Birchbox also has full-size products from amazing brands like Benefit, Kiehl’s, Oribe, Amika and more. A one-stop-shop! I’ve realized that this time of year is the prefect time to not only indulge myself, but to gift Birchbox to other busy women. My first thought, is my sister would love this gift! Who doesn’t love getting new and fun items to try in the mail – and a way to treat yourself? Beauty products shouldn’t be a chore, or something else to check off each day. Thank you Birchbox for making it so easy and uncomplicated!

I can remember being a college kid and trying to fit as much as humanly possible into my closet. 5 poorly made shirts for $20? Yes please. Even if I didn’t necessarily love something, it seemed like quantity of cheap clothes was the way to go.
Somewhere along maturity and my style evolving, I started noticing less and less in my closet, but not in a bad way. Instead of spending $200 on a ton of overly trendy items, I began saving that $200 for a quality pair of boots instead. Or a jacket I could wear all year long with multiple styles. Or, a personal favorite, quality textures like cashmere.
If you follow along on Instagram, you know I’ve been living in Fabiana Filippi, an Italian line of cashmere. It’s textures like this that remind me that the quality of what’s in your closet extends far past having a million things you can only wear once.
I think it’s actually one of my favorite lessons I’ve learned as an adult, and one I’m trying to instill in my children. Though splurges might seem heavy on the wallet, if it’s something that’ll last for years to come and can be transitional (and comfortable – huge for me), it’s always worth the money in my opinion. What are your thoughts on quality vs quantity?
Thank you Fabiana Filippi for sponsoring this post!
