Sorry to post and run but here’s a photo of myself and Laurie at last week’s DailyBuzz Style event held at Madewell. It was so fun to meet the DailyBuzz Style team, especially Amanda!
Hope you all are having a great week!
p.s. I’m wearing a Storets jacket (likely the most fun piece of clothing I own) and H&M shirt.

Yes, I’m still well and kicking. Sorry for the lack of updates! Wore this two weekends ago while having afternoon tea — a fabulous alternative to brunch. Love devouring little sandwiches like these and munching on fancy-shmancy scoons. I also get to drink my tea with a raised pinky finger while I dream of the day I’m enjoying High Tea in London.

Judging from the weather in these photos, you would have never guessed that the day before we experienced snow in Los Angeles! On Saturday, I drove through a 5-minute hail storm en route to the Valley, and was then greeted by sunshine and light rain. Most bizarre mix of weather in a 10-minute time span ever.
I’m predicting this UNIF watercolor maxi dress will get plenty of play in the upcoming months, especially since it’s so versatile and easy-breezy to layer under or over things. It also worked out swimmingly that I happen to have this teal tank dress from H&M, along with my new favorite pink furry coat from Storets, which both complement the sorbet hues pretty darn well.
With the exception of when I layer my non-functioning, flea market purchased watches on one wrist, I don’t typically wear a watch. BUT now thanks to my Aussie friend Jody, who recently launched the watch brand PLSTC, I no longer have an excuse to not wear a time piece. The PLSTC watch molds perfectly to your wrist and comes in a slew of other fun colors. Definitely check out PLSTC and get your watch fix today!

Thanks so much to Hayley (taking the photo above) for being so amazing to all the Teen Vogue bloggers. She definitely made a great impression on behalf of Kensie and now has a new fan of the brand.

When people find out Mel and I are twins, they usually ask whether we have similar styles. As you can see, I’m more of a bohemian-fringe-loving-cowboy boot wearing gal while Mel is more the glam-polished-uptown-vibe-heel wearing type. (photo by Taisa)
while checking out Aryn K, we met Akira Chicago owner Erikka and Sarah who were picking up amazing pieces for the store
in the afternoon, we headed to Project at Mandalay Bay where we saw brands such as Wildfox, Dolce Vita, and Buffalo David Bitton

thanks so much to HUDSON for throwing one helluva good time!

Bring 35 fabulous bloggers to Vegas for three days, letting them roam WWDMAGIC with more than 1,300 brands, and it’s bound to be a content building, buzz generating, networking-love fest. Looking back, it was just an incredibly exciting experience to meet the creative forces behind some of my favorite brands, and to be among the buyers getting a sneak preview of summer and fall collections before they hit stores.
There were way too many highlights to fully list out, but my favorites include talking to the fabulous Creative Director of BB Dakota, Katharine Brandes, while previewing the brand’s summer and fall lines (so many great pieces!); meeting the Kensie team during their champagne party; and simply being around all the other amazing bloggers who were just as excited as I was to be a part of the WWDMAGIC experience.
It was also encouraging to meet with brands that are fully embracing bloggers and have a strong social media presence. As we begin to see more and more designer collaborations with bloggers, brands are understanding the influence bloggers today have in the retail arena and the impact they can make on their customers. When a brand gets it, there’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.
HUGE thank you to WWDMAGIC, Teen Vogue and Fashionably Marketing!
And lastly, thanks to Style Caster for including me (along with Mel, Natalie & Jazzi) in its Best Street Style from PROJECT feature!
(Stayed tuned for future posts featuring BB Dakota, Buffalo David Bitton, Aryn K, Hollywood Trading Company, and One Language.)

Headed to Vegas in a few hours to take part in WWDMAGIC and Teen Vogue‘s first Blogger Concourse Lounge, referenced HERE. I’ll be hitting up some of the other shows, so if you are in Vegas, get in touch with me! At some point during the next few days, I’ll also be wearing this recently acquired pink faux fur coat from Storets, so chances are, you won’t be able to miss me.
Updates will be posted here, but you can also follow along on…
