A SWEET ESCAPE: THE VENICE CANALS

Venice Canals, CA

The Venice Canals are practically in my backyard but somehow I always forget about them!  A waterway lined with adorable homes and cottages, it's a perfect place to escape and recharge. I stopped by a few weeks ago (possibly a bit overdressed to walk the docks) on my way to meet friends for a Saturday happy hour, and I felt like I was worlds away.

I wore this wrap-waist striped mini dress from Goodnight Macaroon. It's effortlessly flirty and requires very little accessorizing. What could be better?

It's in the bag

While designers are constantly releasing new bag styles, it's worth holding onto the classics, like this saddlebag from Miele Bianco. As someone who makes it a regular habit to edit my closet and toss clothes that I don't wear, there are a few pieces I just can't ever part with. This bag may end up being one of them. Not only is it the perfect size, but like a good blazer, it's a go-to well beyond this season. If you haven't shopped at Miele Bianco before, head over and take 50% off your first purchase with the code HELLO50.

My Latest (Denim) Obsession

West Hollywood, CA

Is your closet is lacking a certain staple (ahem... the perfect denim skirt), then you've come to the right place.  This tie-waisted midi from Chicwish is great for day or night and is a fresh alternative to jeans. Whether you like to be a bit more casual or dress things up for the office, a good jean skirt (like this one) will always be a flattering choice. 

Not sure how else to style it? Throw it on with a graphic tee and open-toe booties for a look that's oh so cool, or pair it with a bodysuit ballet slippers for a day at the farmers market. Whatever your taste may be, the styling options are endless!
