Shop Local Pt. Deux: More L.A. Brands to Love
I’m finding more reasons to love the City of Angels (finally). The Reformation This brand is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands overall–a retro appeal manifested in recycled fabrics that feel substantial and hold up after wear.

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.
