First off, sorry I have been MIA! It's been nuts finishing up production on new Mint pieces which you will see this coming week!! Eeeeee! So so so excited! Cruised round the super charming/artsy Echo Park hood the other day... I was diggin this darker ensemble but I had to add a pop of color otherwise the vibe is just too moody for me, especially when I was feeling so good! Funny story- my toes are so small they never quite reach the end of my heels! Oh well... shows more color. How about that army and neon together?! It's one of those unexpected like you don't think it will work but for some reason it does work- kinda things, I love things like that! You never know unless you try right?! There's a little life lesson for yah (wink, wink)

Devil With A Blue Dress On.

Dress: ASTR | Heels: Steve Madden | Bag: (Bottom Photo) Rebecca Minkoff

So obsessed with this dress from ASTR (which is now %40 off!!) The neon detail on the chest, the cut-outs on the sides, the blue leather panels. So good. I definitely like it more when I've got some added height ( I am 5'1" don't forget!) I added an instagram pic from a Loft event where I wore similar color heels as these sandals. You can see the difference when you add some inches haha! I personally love the matchy matchy thing at the moment. And I am still loving this chartreuse color as well! I know some people may be a bit burnt out but I think for this small pop it's perfect!! Are you guys excited to get into some summer dresses?

Hello there! Sorry it's been a few days! How was your holiday weekend? The last few days in Los Angeles have felt like summer! Time to dig out the dresses and shorts. I am starting to think this plum / wine color is my new favorite! I seem to be wearing it so much lately! I also love the tone on tone of my dress and bag. Tone on tone is one of my favorite trends for Spring and you all know how much I love color! This necklace is by Summer Bucket Jewelry- she has such cute things and this gold dipped feather was the perfect accessory to complete this look. Wild week ahead! Godspeed.

The time has come. My favorite printed skinnies are back.  (You may remember them from this post a while back) I might be jumping the gun just a little with the Spring colors since it's not technically Spring yet but I don't mind being the brightest kid on the block. I love the texture detail in this sweater against the fun ikat print in the jeans. As we say in the styling world- it pops.

Purr...

I coveted these shoes for about two months before I finally just gave in and bought them. We had pulled them for a photo shoot and when our client kept them I was so insanely jealous! Then I would see them at the mall and stare at them like a weirdo. I feel comfortable enough to tell you guys these things because if you have a blog you probably love shoes just as much as I do and I bet you do the very same thing! I don't know why I didn't just buy them?! I think maybe I thought they would be tough to match. I'm very careful with my selections! Well now that I finally have them, I like to pair them with simple basics; leather shorts and a comfy white sweater did the trick. Shoes make me so happy its sick. Especially these guys and their pink soles!

Prance.

I was gonna try to down play it but I can't! I'm pretty excited that my tee shirt line Mint is making it's first appearance on the blog! Along with graphic tees I also have a range of "Mint Essentials"- gotta love a good basic! This tee and the rest of my Mint line will be available to purchase in January! P.S. It's super soft and comfy! Alright, alright, alright...now that I've got that excitement out of the way! These "Prance" Booties by Jeffrey Campbell were my staple all summer and I'm finding ways to mix em' into Fall, because well... I love them. As you may or may not know I have an obsession with army jackets- if you don't have one yet (which I'm sure you probably do) but if you don't- get on it. Such a go to.

Finally Fall has arrived in Southern California! There is a cool breeze blowing! People are wearing pants! Jackets! Scarves! I even had my first white hot chocolate of the season! My fave!! A while back I did a post about Fall Fashion where I mentioned leather pants- they scare people. Even my lovely photographer mentioned her hesitation, but I promise you- try them! Report back to me. They are so fun. Rock N' Roll!!

Been a while since my last outfit post so here is a quick one! It's still plenty warm here in LA and this denim bodycon is in heavy rotation. Also still in my go-to's are these fringe JC booties which are so versatile I look forward to wearing them all Fall paired with jeans and comfy sweaters. Same goes for my felt Madewell hat- love a good year round investment!

Like A Rolling Stone.

Spent the weekend in Venice with friends. Shopping was done, sushi was eaten and skating was the mode of transport. The weather was perf. As promised- more printed jeans! Kinda my thing. These wedge sneakers are currently on heavy rotation. They are perfect for me as I'm a sneaker girl + they give me a few extra inches (which I could use as I'm 5'1") Also a little less expensive then the Isabel Marant's if your wanting a similar vibe without that price tag! I am lusting over these Nike ones as well!! Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
