Some days – scratch that, most days I want the easiest outfit I can wear to run errands- sneak in a meeting and make it on time for school pick up. Yes, most days the latter is a miracle.  I must admit, there are also the delightful parts of being a mom of four – each child has a distinct humor, character and it’s so fun when they make you laugh and cover you in hugs! I mean where else can you get all that under one roof? I’m wearing all black, my fave ripped denim jacket, black boots and a market bucket bag to hold flowers and my credit card. I mean, what else does a girl need?

If you ask me what details up any outfit it’s hands down the bag and shoes. Of course, stripes are a great backdrop to almost every outfit, fishnet socks – I like short ones and a cognac leather bag. See here how I style more stripes. Happy Humpday!

A get the most questions about my jeans, so I’m sharing some top jeans I love and under $100! Yes – don’t delay. Sizes are limited. Generally, I like to have a good pair of black, denim, and colored jeans on hand to tackle any outfit. I’m really loving jeans with feminine tops and cardigans for when the weather transitions. What are your favorites?

I’m always inspired by the million ways to style a white shirt, from pleated skirts to tuxedo pants, it all works. And this one is no exception thanks to attention to details like zip closure and arm slits. On that note, please join me Tuesday, March 7, at Karen Millen Store Santa Monica, located at: Santa Monica Place, 395 Santa Monica Place, Space 164, Santa Monica, CA 90401, from 6-9pm, with my talk starting at 7pm. I’ll be hosting an event discussing the versatility of the white shirt and answering your hardest style questions. Bring a friend, I’d love to meet you!

When asked how best to style dark jeans, I opt for whites and neutrals. Specifically a white off the shoulder top, (I prefer arm inserts for a good fit), clear or neutral bag, and wrap neutral heels. The one’s I’m wearing are almost sold out, but these also are a close second. What are your go-to’s? Also, stay tuned for a fun event I’m hosting in Santa Monica, this Tuesday, March 7, can’t wait!

The setting could not have been more beautiful. On a rooftop restaurant with a clear view of the Hollywood Hills, we sipped and nibbled on yummy bites before we went live on Beauty IQ. The theme of the night was Red Carpet Beauty and QVC and BeautyIQ were featuring brands and products inspired by the glamour of Hollywood and of course Red Carpet beauty. I was so honored to be asked to contribute to the panel on QVC’s Facebook Beauty IQ live on event Tuesday night in Hollywood. It’s always more exciting when it’s live! Along with Allure beauty editor Jessica Chia and fellow influencers, I was asked about beauty trends in light of the Oscars, Sunday night. We discussed the new lines that are carrying glitter make-up, how Hollywood glam always works on the red carpet, and when in doubt, add a red lip. Speaking of new lines, I was excited to see some brands I have already used and love like like Peter Thomas Roth, Wen Conditioner, Mally Beauty, and bonus, the new HP Sproket which is so fun to use for quick little prints from your phone. I linked below some of my favorite QVC beauty items that are amazingly priced for every budget. Thank you QVC family for having me and sponsoring this post.

While it may seem like Abercrombie + Fitch is catering more to the younger set (think tweens and teens), a recent shopping trip there was an eye-opener. Abercrombie + Fitch has stepped it up and I’m loving all the colors, enviable basics, and great classic styles that made it so popular in the first place. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll notice I’ve been wearing this trench coat on repeat. Thankfully, this taupe beauty happened to arrive at my doorstep during the heart of LA’s crazy cool and wet February weather. Also, these jeans and gingham top, like most Abercrombie + Fitch items are under $100.
Oh, and did I mention the kids’ section? The selection is melt-your-heart good.  The darling shorts are still darling after lots of active wear–and still in one piece, without holes. They’re cute AND shenanigan-proof. Can you ask for more? And I was more than happy that he actually liked his hat well enough to keep it on. His dad is even jealous of that hat.  It’s the little things in life that make you smile, right? Thank you Abercrombie + Fitch for sponsoring this post and reintroducing me to the brand and new styles. Go find some new favorites!

This week is all about cozy yet chic layers and this look is no exception. I’ve never been cozier. I will have taught you all my cozy layering tricks just in time for bathing suit weather. Yes, the rumor is 80 degree weather is coming up soon to SoCal. Just in time for my kids to start begging for more beach days. Speaking of beach days, it’s a great time to shop for swim suit because it’s sale time! Shopbop has an annual sale that lasts till 3/4/17. Use code GOBIG17, for up to 25% off. I linked some favorite swim picks for our upcoming Mexico trip. Happy Shopping!

4 steps to comfy chic: Start with a SIMPLE DRESS, sport a comfy SNEAKER, add a chic BLAZER, and finish it off with a BASEBALL HAT. How easy is that? And did I mention the dress is under $30? If you’re wondering how make a simple cotton dress more sophisticated? Add a blazer. The latter immediately adds a chic factor. I’m loving a camel and navy combination, but this blazer also works with this black dress. I believe when you’re comfortable, you’re sexy. Don’t overthink the details, invest in the basics and you’ll have countless outfits to choose from. Happy Tuesday!

One of my favorites, SHOPBOP, (they carry velvet sneakers and my trusty leather jacket you see in all my instagrams) is having their annual sale! It’s a great time to stock up. Save up to 25% off. Don’t forget to use code: GOBIG17. Shop my favorites below:
