Taking the Plunge with the Deep V
As a small-chested girl, I’ve always dug the deep V neckline. And I’m not alone. Plunging necklines were all over the runways this season–not that everything on the runways should be copied, but if there’s one thing to be learned, it’s that if you’re not showing a peek of upper torso in a cropped top, […]
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 […]
Smells Like Teen Spirit
I thought we had already done the whole 90s grunge thing a couple years ago–and, ya know, in the 90s. But I was working for Urban Outfitters at the time of this supposed revival, so I may just be confused. I know the angsty Seattle rocker look never really left the West Coast in general, […]
Suzy Barrett Hates California
http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/c0760cdc7a/i-hate-california-beaches 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 pasta” and the “unreasonable amount of serenity,” there’s […]
New Colors, New Collar for Everlane
Blah, blah, blah, we all know I love Everlane’s silk shirts (a creature of habit, I am). In addition to a new line of sweaters and a new line of wallets, Everlane introduces four new colors, as well as a new pointed collar. I love all of them, but Truffle and Dusk are catching my […]
Fall Staple: The Leather Skirt
High-waisted, pencil, A-line, midi, mini–this fall, we’re loving it all. In leather, that is. We’ve already established that leather details are in this season (as if they were ever really out), and while the leather coat is a timeless staple, this season, it’s all about the leather skirt. A soft, supple, yet sturdy leather skirt […]
Kate Spade Spring/Summer 2014: Retro Chic, as Always
Kate Spade has this magical ability to make you desperately want to transport to 1963 despite the racial tension, sexual politics, and likelihood of you being a housewife. She makes you want to buy a large sunhat and host a garden party a la some chic Hamptons affair on the tiny balcony of your one-bedroom […]
Pale Pink is the New Mint
I know everyone keeps talking up white (and judging from New York Fashion Week, that isn’t likely to change for Spring), but I’m more interested in the powder puff pink that’s stepping out this season. As predicted on the runways in January, pale pink coats, sweaters, trousers, and loafers are evidence that this Fall everyone’s […]
