Comfort and style is at the core of my personal dressing. Sneakers, along with the rise of “athleisure” dressing, have become a fundamental part of everyday style. When adidas reached out about putting my spin on styling the NMD shoe, I was all in. Although typically I like to dress sneakers up, I wanted to keep

In December I moved to Silverlake after being a westside chick for the past four years. Moving to a new neighborhood means finding all new go-to spots. Lucking due to having friends on the Eastside to show me around  (and an extremely walkable new hood) I’ve been able to find amazing spots for coffee, food, desserts, flowers and

While I skipped the whole wide-leg flare denim trend over the past year…I thought I’d give the boot cut (mini flare) a go and was pleasantly surprised. I’ll never give up my skinny jeans but these are a fun alternative and look rad paired with a heel. I cut the hem and washed them because

Oh hey guys. It’s been a while. Finally shot something though and it’s hella summery. Spent the past holiday weekend in Laguna Niguel and headed down to the beach one evening to catch the sunset and take some photos. Although I’m all for itty bitty skimpy bikinis, sometimes it’s nice to mix it up and

Hacked off hems (DIY’d) and little chain bags: these are few of my favorite things. For the longest time I hated little cross body bags. I couldn’t see a point in carrying a bag that couldn’t fit my camera and an outfit change. Over the past year or so I found a new appreciation for little leather

Summer weather is inevitable. Although I’m not switching to little tank dresses and short short just yet, I am taking into account the warmer months ahead while shopping. I bought this little button up tee blouse from All Saints last summer and have to admit that it’s one of the most worn tops in my

AG asked my sister Adria and I to give our spin on their new indigo capsule collection. Think: minimal meets indigo magic. The entire line is perfect for mixing and matching, easily dressed up or down and most importantly…comfy af. I’m super into all things denim and indigo and jumped at the chance to shoot something

I’m happy to be working with Madison as their blogger for August! I curated my picks from the stores new arrivals into my own little mini shop. Think cool girl staples: leather, striped tees, cool black dresses, ankle boots and chain cross body bags. An edgy take on minimalism that’s right up my alley. Lots of

I’ve shopped on Zappos plenty over the past few years because, helloooo fast free shipping and basically the best return policy in the biz, so I jumped at the opportunity to work with them on a Hudson x Zappos collaboration. I picked out the Nico Midrise in “Hardlines” and was super into the wash and fit

If you’ve been watching my insta stories you’ll know I’ve been in NYC for work the past few weeks. It’s actually been feeling like fall the past couple days here!! V excited because not only does that mean sweater weather and pumpkin spice errythang, it means BOOT SEASON. Yes, I pretty much wear boots year

Been pretending it’s fall in LA and miiiight be trying to layer already. I should name this post “when your boyfriend is your style ‘spo.” He’s been rocking docs recently so I decided I was going to try a pair as well. Although the chunkiness takes some getting used to, they are seriously the comfiest

Jewelry is one thing I only recently got into. I’ve had my ears pierced since 5th grade but didn’t regularly wear earrings until about a year ago. Now I usually have a few pairs that I just leave in. The holidays however, are the best excuse to play with sparkly things I normally would shy

2 things. Firstly, hiiiiiiii, it’s been forever since I’ve posted. Secondly, I have dark hair again! Being a bleach blonde LA barbie was fun but it was time to call it quits. Violá!

During the beginning of this month I was in NYC for Who What Wear’s fashion week show, which streamed LIVE and was completely shop-able (check it out here in case you missed it.)

With everyone is at home for self quarantine over the next few weeks what better time than a cozy clothes shopping list? I’ve been living in my favorite sweat set the past 4 days and thought I’d compile a list of some of my favorite (and wishlist) pieces.  JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

Oh hiiiiiii. It’s been a minute few years, lol. Well, with the quarantine and all, what better time to bring the ol’ blog back? This time around, I’m going to mix in some of my fun styling work for trend/shopping-focused stories before I force my instagram husband out of retirement. 🤣 First up is this

And here we gooooo day 9 at home! Another day another dollar sweat suit. This hoodie and sweatpants  by Les Tiens, are some of my favorites. They remind me of your boyfriends favorite university logo set; that perfect heavyweight cotton that just gets better with age. Although these aren’t the most flattering set ever…they just might

Oh hiiiii from home, day 8! Like most of you, I haven’t worn “real” clothes in over a week and I’m feeling pretty damn good about it. Although I’m focusing on eating healthy and doing easy at home youtube workouts…getting dressed ain’t happening. I shot a little series in some of my favorite cozy clothes

Anyone else just get on a random health kick this week? Anyone?? No? Just me? 🤷 Well if you’re trying to set some healthy habits that will hopefully last post quarantine. I got chyouuuuu. I compiled a list of my favorite free YouTube workouts and obviously cute looks to go with them.) All of the ladies I

This weekend (8/9 – 8/12) Abercrombie is running a big promo with 25% off all jeans and 15% off everything else. On top of that, my code AFJEAN has been reactivated and stacks for an additional 15% off! Their jeans come in a huge range of sizes and lengths (including Extra Short!), and regular plus

The tailored short is a must-have in my summer wardrobe – I love how versatile they are for going from casual school drop-offs to dressed up a bit for dinner! A few good options currently available are the Quince shorts in stretch crepe (10″ rise, 4.25″ inseam) and the Madewell Harlow shorts in drape twill

One of my favorite things about Sézane is that a good chunk of their store is “evergreen” pieces that are high quality with longevity (and are sold year after year), versus trendier, fleeting styles. I noticed they did a big restock this month on their core classics under the “French Heroes” section, and wanted to

I’m not quite ready to admit that summer is coming to an end, but this New England gal is getting excited for soft knits and fall fashion! I wanted to share a few closet staples that I’ve been wearing often over the summer, and how I’ll be transitioning them for cooler weather. Turn on your

J.Crew jeans 24 petite c/o (no pocket version), flats 5.5, old tops// On Nori: sailor jeans 5, cardigan S The slim-wide style might be J.Crew’s best cut of bottoms over the past few years – it was first introduced as cropped jeans, then the cut was eventually offered in chic faux leather (on my wishlist!),

“The one that got away” for me last fall was a short COS wool swing jacket hanging on the sale rack. I tried it on a few times (it was a little roomy) and ultimately passed, not realizing what a unicorn piece it was! Fast forward a year later, I come across this cropped swingy

One of the hardest parts about change is making the decision to move forward with it. Depending on the decision at hand, it can take days, weeks, months, and sometimes years of contemplating.
