Off-the-shoulder tops with ruching like this one make me think of an old cowboy film. So it only seemed natural to pair it with my western-inspired ankle boots and some fringe!

Spring in my Step
Not an LA Winter
A Must-Have for Work: The Cape Blazer
The cape blazer is one of my favorite work-appropriate layering pieces since the unexpected peek at your sleeves keeps things interesting. Best of all, it can be worn with just about anything – layered over a knit dress like I did today, paired with some pants/jeans/fitted skirts… you name it!
Summer in Overtime
Summer may have technically ended, but I’m guessing I still have another month or so to enjoy sandals and crop tops before swapping them out for boots and sweaters. When it cools down in the evening, I opt for a light-weight short sleeve jacket like this cotton one. (Can you tell I’m really into chambray outerwear?)
Casual Couture
Some days I just want an easy, comfortable outfit. And like 99% of new moms, I am tempted every morning by sweat pants or yoga pants. But just because I gave in to a soft jersey today doesn’t mean I have to look like a total frumpy slob. I prefer to think of this is sweat pants with style… :)
Friday Fringe
Today’s outfit is all about summery textures. A fringed bag, handmade shell necklace, and a crocheted dress with knotted thread detailing all come together to elevate a simple silhouette and keep things interesting. What are your favorite textured pieces for warm weather?
If Jon Snow Went to Festival
I’m not exactly what you’d call a festival girl. I love the fashion scene, but aside from that, it’s too much of, well, a scene for me. That being said, I take advantage of LA’s nearly-year-round warm weather to wear all of my festival-appropriate tasseled, fringed, cropped, and high-slit clothing.
Denim Daze
Today I’m doing two shades of denim for an easy outfit for some errands around town before heading to Palm Springs tomorrow. The boots were my Rachel Comey sample sale treat and this bag was a Mother’s Day gift and I absolutely love it. Super soft suede, functional patch pockets, and an optional shoulder strap (which I prefer so I can free up an arm). My kid’s got great taste, right? :)
Arcade Days
Today marks the last day of school for quite a few. So, to celebrate, here’s a casual outfit perfect for a summer day kickin’ it with my fave old school game, Ms. Pac-Man.
