hot shop
Wednesday, February 27
As my husband and I ate lunch al freso in Malibu today, the weather seemed to fluctuate from hot to cold, then hot again. We kept taking off our jackets, then putting them back on. The see-sawing temperature settled one thing, though: spring is coming! And I'm feeling certain that now's a good time to prep for the transitional weather, hot, cold, hot and then hot, hot, hot! Well, Shopbop comes in with the win, staging a most timely and epic sale, featuring pretty much everything I want to wear now and later (hint: skirt below, bikini, above!). Also dying for: this seriously cute Red Carter eyelet dress, this Stylekeepers belted jean jacket, these Rag & Bone booties, this ATM Anthony Thomas Mellilo leopard-print field jacket, this Ulla Johnson frilled mini dress, and this Clare V basket tote bag.

sun valley
Monday, February 25
As I'm still limping around, last week's ski trip to Sun Valley had me skiing less and shopping more. (Still, I dressed the part in Perfect Moment ski pants and a chunky Topshop cardigan!) In case you did not know, this mountain town boasts not only breathtaking, treeless (and seemingly forever-going) slopes, but masterfully-curated, treasure-filled consignment shops! My retail therapy prompted visits to Deju Vu and Consign Design (in my opinion, the best two spots!) and yielded this logo-happy Fendi tote bag (similar to this) and a faux leopard-print fur Jean Paul Gauthier statement jacket that looks a wee bit like this. The shopping continued slope side with this Ulla Johnson embellished turtleneck and this stylish Sweaty Betty base layer for the next ski trip! Now that I'm back home, I'm hoping I get back in shape soon for my wallet's sake!
now and later
Friday, February 22
Of all the new Fall 2019 runway looks I've seen thus far, this Veronica Beard leopard fleece ranks among my favorites. It's a perfect blend of laid-back and luxe. A genius layering piece. An everyday staple and night-worthy, too. And come next September, when it's delivered, I'll be wearing it day in and day out! (Mark my words: it will sell out, which is why I pre-ordered!) In the meantime, I just found one of my key spring staples, an oversized, wear-with-everything army overshirt, inspired by the pic below. You can find it here!
the oversized turtleneck
Thursday, February 21
From the look of things, the oversize outerwear trend is expanding into turtleneck territory, ushering out a fresh-looking, bigger-is-better silhouette that's both full of comfort and style. As these current street style pics demonstrate, they're growing in popularity from New York to London. Topping my list are these versions from The Row (on mega sale!), La Ligne, Topshop, &Daughter, Tory Sport, Fendi, and Nili Lotan.

After 7-minute workout-ing, facial masking, and fondue-ing in Sun Valley yesterday, some friends and I decided to really bust a move and go consignment shopping. (Consign Design and Goldmine ranked best!) At one of the stores there was a rack of the fluffiest and furriest fur coats, similar to the kind my mother used to wear in the '80s. While they offered loads of warmth, I could not wrap my head around

In case you were wondering: in London, according to the city's most in-demand bloggers/stylists, the current it-shoe is surprisingly practical (flat) and unsurprisingly flashy (rhinestones)! But its best attribute might be its wallet-friendly price! Find it here.
