Coffee Date






The first day in spring that I decide to wear shorts with bare legs and no tights and of course a cold front in L.A. comes through!!! Just my luck!! I’m wearing a pair of cutoffs I thrifted from a little spot nearby in Silver Lake for $8 bucks-- a total steal... I can tell these use to be jeans that became someones DYI project... Lucky for me they fit me perfectly!


A newest favorite item of mine which I picked up last week at work is this extremely long, paper thin cardigan.. I right away knew this would become a wardrobe staple at Coachella this year over shorts and swimsuits. For a pop of color I'm donning a green jade vintage necklace given to me by my Grandmother (the clasp is my favorite part which unfortunately you can't see but it’s a silver lotus flower) which makes this outfit perfect for a coffee date with my beau at our fave spot less than a mile from our lil' bungalow in Hollywood.


I hear tomorrow is going to be another cold one so no shorts for this diva! Cheers xx


What I Wore:

Blouse: Calvin Klein

Lovely lilac

In celebration of spring, I decided to dress for the occasion in this spring-has-sprung lilac vintage frock. I always feel especially girly and feminine when I wear it. I found this dress at an art gallery opening that I attended in Orlando, Florida. There was a little booth set up with some vintage goodies and I scored this fab frock for less than 20 bucks! The mornings are cold here in L.A. so I accompanied it with some tights and wooden mules for a subtly romantic vibe. I am also in love love LOVE with this jean jacket-- I’m really digging the whole denim trend right now… I love mixing prints and fabrics in nonconventional ways for unpredictable refreshing twists!

Happy Spring Everyone !!

What I’m wearing:
Dress: Vintage
Jean Jacket: Guess
Grey opaque tights: Target
Wooden Mules: Rampage
Sunglasses: H&M

Acid Wash


This little gem of a dress I happened to find at work one day on my lunch break (love having a store onsite at the office). It was just hanging on the rack all by itself and I snatched it up without hesitating. This season I have been a huge fan of denim and who doesn’t love acid wash! It reminds me so much of the 80’s-- but in a good way; not the overly cheesy Madonna-inspired era.

I truly heart all things denim and when it comes to different ways of wearing it I am all about it! The denim on denim fad caught on very quickly this season-- it's being seen on the runways and out on the street. What use to be a fashion faux-pas is now a total 100 percent bona fide hot trend.
I am a total jeans babe always have been always will be; must be that hippy chic nature I inherited from my hippie Dad!

–PEACE, LOVE and DENIM xx

What I wore:
Acid Wash Denim Dress: Guess
Knee High Socks: American Apparel
Wooden Wedges: Steve Madden

Clearly Cool





Originally popular in the 1940's in ladies purses and jewelry, Lucite was seen all throughout the 2010 Fashion Week in a plethora of shoes and accessories. This playful plastic was developed by DuPont in 1937 and may be once again proving its relevance to fashion at this moment in history.



















Fendi, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Burberry all came out to play giving us some truly marvelous fashion goodies.Whatever your poison may be in the accessories department: shoes, purses or jewelry; Lucite is in, its here and don’t be shy! Introduce your extremities to a new trend this spring!
Picturing these delights worn with airy springtime florals and neutrals is just about enough to make me jump on this translucent bandwagon. Stack up an arm full of Lucite bangles in assorted colors for an on-point festive spring-has-sprung look.Sport a Lucite tote for a night out; but be considerate that the contents of the clutch be equally chic as well...

Sequined Luvah


Waking up at 7:30 a.m. 5 days a week is a total bummer, even when you work in fashion and truly have a passion for fashion as I do… but nothing perks me up quite like a sequined body suit. I paired it with a pair of tres fab skinny jeans. These are my absolute favorite jeans of the moment. I got them a few months ago and they are so soft and super stretchy. They are pretty much what you call jeggings (aka jean leggings)… total love at first sight

Sequined body suit-F21

Black boyfriend blazer-H&M

Jeggings-7 For All Mankind

Lace up booties-Marciano

I usually spend a minimum of 25 minutes picking out my outfits but I was in a huge rush and had to make an appearance at a last minute event. Even though this outfit was assembled in record time, it ended up being one that I was very happy with. I will wear this ensemble again!

What I'm wearing:

Red blouse-Vintage

Faux leather mini-Kira Plastinina
