Rocking denim on denim? Keep it simple: stick to similar or complementary shades. Check out this Canadian tuxedo vibe I’m rocking – paired with a sheer trench and a bold pop of red up top. What’s your take on it?

Feeling that spring fever, I spruced up our living room with some stunning faux cherry blossoms. Ever heard of AFLORAL? Their blooms are unbelievably realistic. Walking into the living room now, it’s like a burst of spring every time.

It’s denim short season and I’m not mad about it. Who else is living in denim shorts?

FRAME: best overall. Great fit and distressing. I linked the exact on ebay since it is not available.

LEVI’s: Pro’s great color and distressing. Con’s: They run small, so size up.

AMERICAN EAGLE: Pro’s the low price and boyfriend fit! I went up a size and love the comfy fit, distressing. Con’s I was hard pressed to find one, but it sells out fast, so when its in stock, run!

JOES JEANS: Con’s: It is a little short for me at 5’9.” Pro’s Love the fit and lighter wash.

Have a great weekend, we’re having cocktails and hors d’oeuvres with friends. As always, my shop page is open 24/7.

I feel like I’m way too old to be wearing tiny shorts so I’ve been looking for longer distressed shorts. Here I’m wearing some faves from FRAME and also wearing some longer version, because I’m not in college anymore. I love how denim shorts are terribly versatile. Here they are dressed up with wedges, a blouse and a trench or dressed down with a swimsuit and flip flops for the beach. I feel like they’re a great investment for any spring or summer wardrobe, so get your favorites now before they’re gone. Speaking of back in stock, my blouse is back in stock!

5 Most Flattering Flares

I, like anyone, have made my way through all the denim trends out there. From ripped, boyfriend, skinny, wide leg, boot cut, cropped and the like—I’ve worn them all! It seems like every month there’s a new “it” cut to try and I’m always game to give it a go.

But despite all the changing trends and piles of denim in my office, which, do you ask is my fave? FLARES. Hands down. I can’t get enough. I always, no matter what the brand, seem to feel at home in a good pair of flare jeans. I know denim isn’t everyone’s idea of comfort, but I think a lot of us have that one pair of jeans in our closets that we always just feel good in.

Because I’m such a flare fanatic, I rounded up some of my faves that also happen to be the most flattering—just ask some of my petite friends who also tried these styles. Win! I love the ones I’m wearing for the unusual stitching and wide leg flare, but I wanna know, which are your favorite?

5 Flattering Flares:

  1. Frame Le High Flares
  2. Madewell cropped boot cut
  3. Veronica Beard Flares
  4. H&M $35 Flares
  5. A&F $35 Ankle flares in light

These 7 For All Mankind jeans are the gems I’ve been looking for when it comes to coated denim. When I first saw them I got a very downtown-meets-uptown-meets-errands vibe, which I’m kinda all about. To be sure they were as amazing as I thought, I took them on a test drive through the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles. Yep! I was right and I love them so much I can barely take them off! They’re the perfect marriage between faux leather leggings and distressed denim. This pair runs slightly large, so I sized down, but the slim fit is great, especially with oversized loungewear.

For this look, I stayed with 7FAM and paired the coated denim with this super luxurious leopard coat with faux fur trim and finished it off with patent booties. I love this outfit, but I definitely can’t wait to wear the jeans with sneakers and camel coats, too. That is if the temps ever decide to dip—wishful thinking in SoCal. We’ll see. Now, I can’t wait for a night out!

How is your weekend? We had a last minute date Friday night and it was d-i-v-i-n-e. Date night is often running errands for us so I almost always wear jeans with the exception of some dresses I’ve shown here before. This top immediately caught my eye because of the ruffles and one shoulder design. I paired it with color block heels you have seen before on my instagram because they are so versatile. Stay tuned, as we’re headed somewhere fun tomorrow!

Have a lovely rest of the weekend!




It’s our last week of school before spring break and what a relief. While I love bonding with B while his siblings are at school, I’m super excited to let the kids ease into the morning and not have to make that 8am drive. We’re excited to welcome my in-laws, so be prepared for lots of date-nights and going-out-for-ice-cream kinda nights.  I love how versatile this top is – great over leggings or jeans, tied or tucked, dressy or casual. See here how I styled embroidered jeans. Happy Tuesday!

More stripe tops I’m loving:


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!

Valentines Day is coming up and Reid and I are headed someplace warm, sans kids. We’re super excited to get away and can’t wait for an excuse to sit by the pool without an interruption. So, this Valentines Day, I’m loving bright pink ruffles (no surprise), trusty Levis, and blush ankle strap heels. If you’re unsure how to style bright and loud colors, pair them with jeans and a muted suede trench. It looks a lot more pulled together. Since we’re talking about Valentine’s Day, here’s me and Reid’s engagement story if you missed it. Hope you are off to a lovely week!

LA has been around 50 degree’s every morning, so layers are non-negotiable. Here, I wore a camisole, soft sweater, distressed black jeans, and go-to black boots. This outfit would also look good with a denim jacket or a faux fur coat. These black layers are wonderful basics for your closet!
