Stop Telling Women to Smile Hits L.A. March 12-19th
Stop Telling Women to Smile, the art series created by Brooklyn-based artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh that is quickly gaining momentum, comes to Los Angeles Wednesday. Aimed at addressing street harassment, an all too common experience for girls and women everywhere, the series utilizes the scene of the crime in the form of murals and other forms […]
Long Live the Basic Tee
As I approach my two year anniversary of living in the City of Angels, I realize that my style actually has evolved. But not in the way you think it would have. The thing is…it’s only evolved to become MORE atypical of L.A. Call it stubbornness (even in the face of practicality), but I still […]
Acne Studios Opening in Downtown LA
It sounds too good to be true–Acne Studios, the epitome of effortless cool and downtown chic with their staple knitwear and minimalist design, is opening their West Coast flagship store in Los Angeles, of all places. Alas, it’s all true–and this week you’ll get to see for yourself. Wednesday, December 18th marks the grand opening […]
Giving the Slip (Dress)
Is it a dress, or is it lingerie? Do I care? The slip dress is something I could so easily make fun of (and sometimes do). But I won’t. Because what could possibly be more comfortable than wearing a loose whisper of silk, satin, or some other delicate material when it’s time to go out […]
I’m Loving: LA Brand Rails
I already named some of the stores I like in L.A., but I’m finding an increasing number of great brands the City of Angels has to offer.

Shopping Local: My Favorite LA Brands and Boutiques
I know I knock LA a lot (if you were expecting something different from a blog with this title, you must be confused), but there are a few fashion gems here. It may take a while to sift through the plethora of boutiques selling the Cali girl stereotype in the form of maxi dresses and […]
Suzy Barrett Hates California
I Hate California: Beaches – watch more funny videos I’m not sure why no one brought these videos to my attention before, and I’m even more perplexed that I didn’t find them myself, but Suzy Barrett‘s Funny or Die video series “I Hate California” is perfect. Beaches are, like, so overrated. In addition to “mermaid […]
Things I’m Craving This Fall: Green, Moto, Leather, and Cutout
It’s still hot as Hell in SoCal, so I’m actually just craving temperatures that allow me to be fully clothed. Not the ideal atmosphere for a girl who’s addicted to sweaters. But cool weather or not, here are the things I’m eyeing as we head into my favorite season. 1. Dark Green Fall’s color palette […]
Open-Toe Booties are Like the Vests of Feet
This fall is being dominated by two types of shoes–the smoking slipper and the cutout/open-toe boots. Let me start by saying I like both of them. If something looks good, it looks good–I won’t question the function of it, because really, it’s fashion and at a certain point its function is solely to make you […]
