Love What You Wear … Some Thoughts

I shared in a recent IG post my love of wearing pieces that make me feel good. This swimsuit gave me life and was the added flare I was searching for. It got me thinking, what do I consider essential for my closet, what have I accomplished in curating a well worn closet thus far, so that I can always love what I wear.

A Dress for every Occasion

A rotation of great dresses for the seasons ahead is a must. I have my tried-and-true pieces that I grab year after year. But, as I do a little closet Spring clean, I’m eyeing dresses that would be great to have on hand for any occasion. A good dress means everything, especially when you can’t wait to wear it again!

All Things Denim

Denim for days … when you’re seeing denim everywhere. First, take a step back and ask yourself what it is you are missing. An updated jean style? A new denim shirt but with details? A statement shoe? A tailored denim jacket? A special “just because” dress? I saved pieces that will add some newness to your denim.

Refresh Your Button Ups With These Five Styles

My go-to top, is always a button up shirt style that I can easily wear almost anywhere. Lately, I’ve been wanting to refresh my shirts by adding in some color, texture and embellishments. As much as I love a neutral palette, I am a colorful girl at heart and tend to veer that way naturally. I think you can still have a tailored look with some fun pieces.

The Trench Coat & Why I Love It

This rainy California weather has me thinking of the classic trench coat. No matter your style, this classic coat is a particular piece of outerwear everyone needs in their closet. This coat has evolved into a chic staple, the perfect neutral add on and the ideal transition coat. Last year, I donated my go-to trench that had been worn, loved and used to the point where stains were becoming permanent and the belt buckled finally broke. So, I am on the hunt for a new investment worthy one. Here is why I love it.

Mixing Up Your Whites for Fall

Is anyone else pulling out all of their whites and trying to wear them ASAP? While I fully admit to doing this, I am also pulling items I can continue to wear into Fall and beyond. White easily transitions into every season, especially if you layer in various shades of whites, creams and fabrics with texture. I love mixing up whites as I transition into Fall style!
