My Timeless Pearly letter pendant, above, is one of the best gifts I've ever received--from myself! I love how it pops against both sweaters and bare skin--and it even works as an earring (on a huggie). And it doesn't come off as precious, just pretty. Especially paired with something lacy, like this, this, and this. (My gold chain link necklace is by Jenna Blake.)

While everyone in LA is chattering about Jennifer Aniston getting back together with Brad Pitt (and that pic at the SAG Awards!), I want to talk about her sexy white slip dress that, in my opinion, could seal any deal! I mean... gooooorgeous! It's a dress that will launch a thousand slips. Like, on all of us: We can work our own real-world red carpets in similar head-turners, with help from a swingy coat or menswear-inspired blazers, such as these by Joseph, The Reformation, JW Anderson, Veronica Beard, Madewell, and Alix (similar to below).

This is the time of year, deep into winter, when my washing machine and dryer conspire to steal my socks. One by one they mysteriously disappear to I have absolutely no idea where. And I'm left with an anemic batch of singletons in my drawer. But, don't you worry, I will overcome this crisis--and re-stock with extra stylish, wardrobe-enhancing socks that will be too distinct and cool to get lost in the shuffle. These options by Triple 9 (above), Madewell, Happy Socks, and Gucci (definitely not losing these!) will be too big to hide!

Considering how much I wear jeans, I suspect spring's must-have denim dress will soon be a huge player in my weekly rotation. In fact, I might even want to start subbing one in now.

My son's club volleyball tournaments are really starting to take a bite out of my weekends (you can find me in Anaheim this Saturday).

As you can see, a little faux shearling does a lot for denim. (It runs big, so I sized down.)

The burning question in LA is who doesn't want The Jenna Necklace? As in the mighty Jenna Blake-designed 18-karat gold-link necklace, above, that can be broken down (brilliantly) into two bracelets! As in the shock-and-awe piece that you can wear everyday for eternity! As in the ultimate Valentine's Day gift! (Bauble Bar took a swing at it with its brass version that's less chunky and less $.)

One of my twin sister's best friends is a New York City-based mega-stylist--a fashion icon to famous fashion icons. When she came over for dinner on Saturday night, armed with shopping bags full of new hand-picked clothes for herself and future photo shoots, my sister and I did what you'd expect: we shopped her bags! We scooped up this incredibly chic (vintage meets Dries-looking) Sandro blouse--a spring statement, she declared. We agreed, naturally. We also fell for this Zara knit crop top to wear over dresses, under cardigans (a la Khaite) and these $20 floral pants that are crazy cute with a white tee, grey sweatshirt, or an easy cashmere. (Make sure to size up. They run super small.) The shopping-bag shopping then prompted us to scout our collective wants and we landed on the amazing striped staple, above, by Silvia Tcherassi, this print H&M bucket hat, and, of course, spring's go-to Prada square-shaped sunglasses, below.
