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 […]
That Mid-Twenties Wardrobe Overhaul
A lot of things happen when you hit your mid-twenties. You start staying in more nights of the week than you go out (and your definition of “going out” changes); three beers will give you a headache the next day; you start to recognize the value/necessity of exercise–and budgeting; and you find yourself uttering the […]
Fake It Til You Make It: Faux Fashion Logos

You can just buy a clothing item with a label that pokes fun at the established fashion houses. Buying fakes used to be a faux pas, but by buying items that say things like […]

Ribbed Knitwear: Another Thing You Need
As I head off to Michigan tonight for some family time, I can’t help but smile as I look at the weather forecast, which predicts cooler temperatures just for this weekend. It’s 93 degrees in southeast Michigan as I write this, but they know I’m coming, and they know I’m packing my rolling bag with […]
Put That on a Sweater and Wear It: Graphic Sweatshirts
The graphic crew neck sweatshirt trend is still going strong from last year, and I’m totally on board, but it makes me wish I had the motivation/creativity to buy cotton crew necks and put clever words and phrases on them. I like how, depending on the graphic, there’s potential to turn a casual sweatshirt into […]
Paradise Lost: New Zoe Karssen and Everlane
This week is good for two reasons. I’m sure if you’re going back to school, that isn’t one of them, but at least you have Fall, my favorite of the seasons, to look forward to. Fall itself brings two pieces of goodness, the first being Halloween, and the second being sweaters. Actually, in order of […]
