I pretty much always wear my hair up--and this gorgeous gold hair band gives me one more reason to keep doing it. Love.

Wearing these strappy buckle-trimmed heels would make me feel so much cooler than I actually am--but still like me. Now that's a feat! On top of that, they're endlessly versatile, thanks to their neutral shade, and they'll look so spring-fabulous with..

distressed jeans
Wednesday, February 20
My new favorite jeans happen to look not very new. But that's the point, of course. But what really distinguishes my distressed denim is that they strike the perfect balance between looking lived-in and too lived-in (i.e., ratty), and this is why I adore them. Plus, judging from the pics, above, and below, these worn-in jeans seem to be a thing... Here are some other great options from J.Brand, Asos, and R13.

chandelier earrings
Tuesday, February 19
There was so much to love about Phillip Lim's Fall 2013 collection: the biker-inspired leather vests, zipper-trimmed sweatshirts, quilted mini skirts--and perhaps, most of all, the gold hippie-chic chandelier earrings. As Harper's Bazaar put it, the earrings "provided a chic lesson in contrast." The shoulder-grazing 10-karat and oxidized gold statement-makers were designed exclusively for Lim's show and will retail for $395, starting in July. In the meantime, you can get your fix with these dopplegangers from Wendy Mink, A Peace Treaty, Anthropologie (only $38!), and Monserat De Lucca.

Thanks to Pierre Hardy's vividly graphic clutches, anyone can now look a little more head-turning-street-style-star-chic. All you have to is pick a color.

Earlier this week I took a very successful spin around Topshop's just-opened and highly anticipated two-floor LA store. It certainly met my expectations, replete with exclusive pieces on the racks and a plethora of sizes. Among my where-did-you-get-that finds? This studded sweater that had my friend (a former Women's Wear Daily editor) and I swearing it sparkled like a Miu Miu. I also snapped up this tiered chiffon Chanel-channeling dress that can go anywhere from a Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, J. Lo-studded party (which it did on Wednesday night!) to a casual backyard barbecue (where it will go this weekend). Today I'm debuting this sweater, along with these right-on extras...

Captured flitting between shows during New York Fashion Week, this model provides a glimpse into the eye-popping lipstick shades on the horizon. But why wait to do a bright lip? I consulted my friend, makeup artist and The Beauty Department co-founder Amy Nadine (who happens to be responsible for Rachel Bilson's pretty pout, among other famous starlets) about this exact hue and she pointed me to Nars Schiap. I am all over it.
