My Winter Fashion Must-Haves
Summer’s gone, fall is in full swing, and – gasp – southern California even had a little thunderstorm yesterday. Clearly it’s time to start preparing for a winter wardrobe! While fall is my favorite season for its rich textures and earthy colors, winter requires some extra attention because of all the holiday festivities. Most of … Continue reading
Spring 2014 New York Fashion Week: My Favorites
There’s been a ton of coverage on the looks presented at Spring 2014 New York Fashion Week, and there are many lovely bloggers that have covered the individual shows better than I could. However, I have been enjoying the deluge of photos and have put together a collection of my favorites to share with you. … Continue reading
Beauty and Fashion Tips for Transitioning Into Fall
With school starting up again for many, and the days getting noticeably shorter, now is a good time to start changing up your wardrobe, hair, and makeup.

Fall and Winter Fashion Trend: Minimalism
Clean lines, sharp edges, monochromatic color schemes… these are a few of my favorite things. They are also a few of the elements of the minimalist style that’s big for the fall and winter seasons.

Fall Fashion Trend: Black and Gold
The summer trend of black and white is easing on into the fall trend of black and gold, much to my delight. Black is delightfully versatile, and on a personal level, it makes me happy because it’s slimming, doesn’t show stains, offers up a certain powerful aesthetic, and it’s way easier on the eyes than, … Continue reading
Gucci Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear: Invasion of The Dress
So Gucci released this dress in their Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection. Meh, no big. Not my taste, and not really something that you can wear for just any ol’ occasion, but whatevs. It’s got the black lacy/mesh details, flashes of gold, and deep blues and greens as a nod to the fall season and it … Continue reading
