Simply elegant yet exceedingly practical. Perfection!

My long holiday weekend in Mexico (details and snaps to come!) verified that this cute little wrap skirt is the most perfect partner to a bikini.

The last thing I need in my life is another pair of pricey sunglasses--but I can't resist the idea of getting new season-looking neutral-framed sunnies, just like the ones above. I love how they blend into your face and go with pretty much every outfit. I'm loving these options (some of them not at all pricey!) from , , , and .

I'm seriously considering wearing these (comfy) wedge boots all winter long.

LA shot up to 83 degrees yesterday, which may explain why I've got super cute leopard print sandals on the brain! Besides, it's never too early to start thinking about beach days...

The crisscross lace-up detailing that defined Dior's Fall 2014 collection will be everywhere this spring (more on this trend to come!), and I'd like to jump on it now with this poised-to-be-a-staple white blouse.

The end of daylight savings means it's time to begin planning that warm winter getaway! I'd like to get the ball rolling with this gorgeous embroidered kaftan.

For me, a mod-inspired leather mini can make chilly weather a little more fun.

It looks like a new pair of sunnies are in order, and the rounder and more retro-ish, the better. Proof: these sightings of New York and London Fashion week goers, all sporting circular sunglasses. I love how they appear both vintage and modern--and playfully cool. I'm eyeing these glasses from (pictured above, left), , (below), , and .

LA's bajillion-degree heatwave isn't stopping me from dreaming about wearing this faux fur trimmed sweater on a cold brisk day.
