Is it just me or does this sweater not have an vibe? The tassels, the Native American detailing, the fringe on the sleeves... In any case, it looks like the kind of sweater some uber cool downtown-dwelling fashion-y type would wear ever so nonchalantly to go about her day. Wear it with...
A few weeks ago I visited LA designer 's new studio in Hollywood and came across this dress, hanging on one of the sample racks. I think I must have asked her five times, "When will this dress be available for purchase?" She replied (five times), "In the next week or so." Well, here it is, in all its zipped-up, leather-trimmed, color-blocked glory. Very psyched.
Sexy, feminine, and a little rebellious, too, thanks to the gold studs. The neutral shade and kitten heel mean you'll get major mileage out of these shoes. Wear them with...
A biker jacket rendered in boucle fabric is counter-intuitive--and totally amazing. Considering all the oversize jackets on the fall 2012 runways, I'd go one size up in this one. That way I can pack some serious layers underneath it and wear it into the ground.
As reported , wide-legged pants ruled the New York fashion runways. It's a flattering (leg-lengthening) silhouette--and a total slam dunk when worn with something simple, like a button-down blouse or a t-shirt. This polka dot pair gets high marks for its spring-through-fall wearability. Wear them with...
Prada's resort collection was chock full of of opulent-looking jewel-encrusted clutches. But that's not the only reason to love this blinged-out evening bag. It's candy-colored decadent, unabashedly feminine and really, really pretty. Wear it with...
Ikat + denim = Jeanious! Seriously, how cute are these printed jeans? They also come in . I can't decide which one is cooler. But let's start with tried and true blue. Wear them with...
I just got back from a fun week in the snow (more details on that later). While it was amazing to breathe in the mountain air, ski, build a snow man with my kids, and indulge in some apres-ski delight (i.e., drink body-warming, velvet-smooth red wine), I also enjoyed sporting my cold-weather clothes, namely my plush cashmere scarves, chunky sweaters, and faux fur jacket--things that are very neglected living in LA. So, here's another wintry goodie that will serve me well on future trips to the mountains, back east and on those rare chilly days in LA (which we're in for this week, apparently). I love the classic double-breasted, belted silhouette and the hunter green wool (though I could see myself swapping the belt out with a vintage brown leather one instead). Wear it with...
