The Wrap Dress

Downtown Los Angeles, CA

I am dress obsessed. Some of you have actually commented on how many and how often (every post lately) I've been wearing them but I just can't get enough. From flowy maxis to cocktail cuts, I really love them all. And today, I'm sharing why the wrap dress may be at the top of my list. 

Not only are wrap dresses flattering on every woman, but they are also really versatile. The cinched waistline is ideal for creating a beautiful figure AND for expanding when you eat a bit too much pizza (like I did every day in Italy!) This printed beauty from Chicwish is great for museum hopping/office days/brunch with the girls or exploring a new city. For a night on the town, easily dress it up with slingback heels and a clutch. I love the feminine sleeves and pretty pink shades, too. Here I paired it with my new slip-on sneakers from Vionic (which are the comfiest shoes on the planet) and it made a day of walking around the city even more fun.

SUMMER IN THE CITY

The Broad, Los Angeles

It's always summer in Los Angeles (yes, we are totally spoiled.) And while the weather is generally lovely over here, we still have lots of "summer-only" events to look forward to and take advantage of from June-August. From outdoor movie screenings to concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, there are lots of reasons to head outdoors this season.

And maybe it's just me but I often find myself doing more after-work drinks and day adventures, too. Life is just more exciting in the summer! To keep up with the season of weekend escapes and dinners downtown, I have decided to add some brighter pieces to my rotation. This sunny maxi dress works well for picnics, weddings, outdoor dinners and even a day at the office.

NOT SO BLACK & WHITE

DTLA

Hello Friday! Looking to update your weekend look without going on a shopping spree bender? I hear that. Adding a new accessory or two can really take your classic black and white looks up a notch. This printed dress from Nordstrom Rack is a simple (and affordable!) office or picnic date staple. Layer on the black and white with a pair of oversized resin hoops from Baublebar, a designer belt, or a bold pair of cateye shades. I wore this pair on my recent trip to Italy and it made even the most casual looks feel a bit more polished. Aside from these, I also love tassel earrings and statement rings this season. What are some of your favorite ways to accessorize at the moment?
