PRETTY LITTLE DETAILS...

Los Angeles, CA

The basic blouse is getting a makeover this season and I have to say, I am LOVING it. Instead of traditional button-ups, designers are creating tops with ruffled sleeves, lace and all kinds of other embellishments. It makes dressing for work much easier—just throw on one of these dressed up blouses with a pair of skinnies and you’re good to go (no blazer necessary). And if you’re not a huge necklace girl like me, go for a top like this one from H&M that has a delicately detailed collar.

Do the Limbo

Marina del Rey

I always find it hard to figure out what to wear this time of year. Ugly sweater season has passed, winter sales are at their peak so you’re tempted to stock up on “old” styles and it’s definitely not warm enough to try on any spring trends yet. It feels like a bit of a fashion limbo. And here in Los Angeles, when temps never drop below 60, it can start to be a little uninspiring. That’s why I always think it’s important to stock up on a few fail-proof pieces. A great pencil skirt, a houndstooth print, a trench coat— these things will never go out of style. And today, I paired two of my favorite go-to pieces for a look that’s great for a day of running around town. What are some of your must-haves right now?

Denim forever

Marina del Rey, CA

Denim. It's not just about your jeans anymore! Now it comes in all shapes, washes and silhouettes. And what's even better about it? It is (for the most part) season-less. From winter to summer, denim is pretty much always IN.

This cute little dress from Zaful is no exception. With side cutouts and mid-length skirt, it's the dress you can wear from desk to dinner and even to that date you've been waiting to go on since before the holiday break. Just switch out the accessories and you're good to go. It's a refreshing wardrobe staple and right now, it's 50% off!  

Dress: c/o Zaful (Now 50% off)

Scarf: Express

Crossbody: J. Crew Factory (Under $50)

Booties: Bloomingdales

MY LOOK (WARMER WINTER):

After being in the snow for the past two weeks, it was nice to go jacket-less!

FOR THE COLD:

Warm up the look with a pair of tights and thicker layers.

FOR DATE NIGHT:

Dress it up with a dramatic lip, statement necklace and moto jacket.

FOR THE OFFICE:

Pair it with a bold blazer, a bib necklace and classic pumps.
