jean pool
Wednesday, March 13
Thank you, H&M, for making this typical jeans-and-top hump day happier with these $29(!) jeans, perfectly cut, ridiculously comfy, and super flattering in four different shades! I snapped up the black, above, and dark denim.
monogrammed mansur
Tuesday, March 12
How cute (and how me!) are these monogrammed Mansur Gavriel ballet slippers?? But help me, they are available in seven (!) different colors. How will I choose? Definitely leaning toward the metallic silver, but could use a neutral pink, too. (Note: they run half a size small, so size up!)
lucky stars

Yup, three's a charm, but what's particularly enchanting is that you can wear these earrings hanging down or climbing up your lobe.

snake charmer
Friday, March 8
It's official: snakeskin is the new leopard print. And it's just as versatile (think of it as a neutral) yet refreshingly and wildly chic. I love the head-to-toe look, above, by MSGM (now on sale!), and found a similar ones from Topshop and Pieces. It's also fun in the form of these Sam Edelman sandals, these Whistles trousers, this AFRM wrap skirt, these Isabel Marant jeans, and these Puma sneakers.
coming up
Wednesday, March 6
For me, viewing a Celine runway show is like looking into fashion's crystal ball and divining what's next. This week's showing in Paris revealed big, oversized blazers, knee-high (and higher) boots, aviator sunglasses, and high-neck blouses--all poised to be our new must-have wardrobe staples. Of course, I'm rounding up the best of these pieces pronto. Not surprisingly, Celine's inspo, Ray-Ban's oversized aviators are already selling out but can be found here and here. I also found these cute high neck blouses from H&M, Sea, and Ulla Johnson. Pixie Market (to wear under crew-neck sweaters right now); these oversized blazers from Ganni, Pixie Market, and H&M and these on-sale boots from Ulla Johnson, Vince, and Paige.

in the trenches
Monday, March 4
Fashion Month, currently winding down, has seen attendees geared up in all kinds of looks for all kinds of weather in New York, London, Milan and Paris. However, there was one piece of clothing that segued seamlessly from city to city: the trench coat. This wardrobe classic is making a huge--and I mean HUGE--comeback, just in time for spring (and, perhaps even, snow showers!). It's cut bigger this time around--oversized and long--and tops everything from casual jeans and a blouse to a full-on party dress. I love these versions from Alex Mill (love the price, too!!), Marc Jacobs, Acne Studios (on sale!), English Factory, Asos (under $100!), and Burberry (40% off).
doing doen
Friday, March 1
"For the first time since forecasters began recording data—at least 132 years—the mercury did not reach 70 degrees in downtown Los Angeles for the entire month of February"-- today's LA Times. (Crazy, huh?!) Which makes us Angelenos more excited than usual for spring's warmth and me, in particular, eagerly anticipating the day when I can throw on one of Doen's just-out spring dresses and blouses. The LA-based line has Cali-cool dressing nailed, of course. Prime examples include: this billowy, laid-back blouse, above, and the pretty floral dress below. You might want to check out the entire new collection here before it all sells out as per usual.
big bags
Friday, March 1
Another big spring trend is currently blowing up on the streets of Paris: Large, oversize bags, and they are dutifully lugging lives to and fro around the city in style. I love these versions from Corroon (with hand painted initials, natch!), Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang, Fendi, Proenza Schouler, and Cleobella.
fresh spring staples
Thursday, February 28
Looks like spring has sprung in Paris, with fashion week attendees welcoming the new season in noticeably updated wardrobe staples. Think white jeans, but this season, they're freshly loose-fitting and long, like these by Eve Denim, Joe's Jeans, and GRLFRND. Denim is also distinctly dark and crisp. My favorite these styles are by Joseph, Levi's and Khaite. Meanwhile, heels are super sexy in the form of barely-there strappy sandals (this pair by The Row is poised to be "it," or this and this). Another feminine option: a sleek pointy-toe black pump. The last pic tempts me to modernize my go-to army jacket with Equipment's polished belted one (this H&M also good!). All in all, these are looks that are enduringly stylish and everyday wearable--perfection!
