COLOR PLAY

Hollywood, CA

Stumped on what to wear lately? I have never been a fan of this time of year for dressing. It's still hot outside but rocking a sundress seems kind of wrong. After all, there are so many pant styles and fall patterns to test out. If you're looking to try something unexpected, step outside the typical fall color box and go for brighter, more saturated shades. This rose-colored velvet maxi skirt and pumpkin-colored top pair to make a combo that's completely refreshing. I added  hoops and a gold cuff bracelet from Grand Avenue Jewelry. Both pieces are classic with a modern spin, and I love wearing them with just about everything.

Feeling Femme

West Hollywood, CA

Love florals and lace, skirts and hair scarves? Me too. As much as I enjoy borrowing from the boys, I also think it’s nice to get in touch with my softer side (and often). I am not sure if it’s because I grew up wearing ballet skirts, bows and ruffled socks or what, but I’ve always been on the frillier side of fashion. That’s why this dress from Chicwish is so special to me. Blending pretty peach and pink shades with flowers and lace, it  feels ultra-femme and truly unique. If you’ve got a slew of fall weddings lined up, it’s a great choice.

I’ve been lucky to be able to collaborate with lots of brands since creating my blog. But this new partnership with Soludos might be my favorite to date not only because I have been in love with the brand for years, but because I got to do it with my sister! She’s my biggest fan, my best bud, and she knows me better than anyone. Even though we are actually four years apart, people have confused us for twins ever since I can remember.

A few weeks ago, I spent the weekend back in Newburyport where I grew up spending the summer with my family. We wore matching Venetian Mid-heel Booties, hung out at the beach, grilled food on the dock and cuddled my sister’s baby, Ellery. I never feel more myself than I do back there. I think that I hit the family jackpot  in a lot of ways and that’s something that I have come to appreciate more and more over the years. I find reasons to fly back east whenever I can (often once a month) and it makes me feel like I live a lot closer than I actually do.

Here is a Q&A that I did for Soludos that I wanted to share with you guys to get to know a little more about my sister.

What one word best sums up your relationship? Loyal
One thing you would like to steal from her closet? Her jewelry. She has the most incredible vintage styles (and I think this counts because she hangs them in her closet!)

Dream destination for a trip together? A little ocean town or anywhere with wine.

Best personality attribute in your sister? Calm, comforting, and rational. She’s always kept me sane when I am dealing with some sort of life struggle. When I get emotional, she lays out at all the facts and it helps me feel so much better.

What is her most remarkable talent? Her memory. She notices when I’ve rearranged small things in my place, she remembers stories that I told her years ago, and she always knows where she’s going. Without her, I’m often lost!
