SPRING IN MY STEP

Is it just me or does it feel like spring has sprung? The weather in LA, although windy, has been really quite lovely. Most years it feels like we completely skip spring all together and jump head first into summer. I have always been more of a spring/fall gal. I love in-between weather. It allows for interesting layers and breezy sunny days. Yes, this weather is suiting me just fine. You might even say I have a...

SPRING PLEASE

Somehow it's March already, but it sure doesn't feel like spring is on it's way. It has been down right cold in LA the last few weeks. In some ways I am totally enjoying this cooler weather. It's given me a chance to pull out my winter coat I don't get many chances to wear and have cozy fires in my fireplace. On the other hand, I just really want to start wearing pretty dresses and going for picnics in Griffith Park. So spring, please get here soon...

MADEWELL SPRING LOOKBOOK

The Madewell spring lookbook is out and it's got me craving casual, effortless clothes. 

Yes Please!...

DANCING QUEEN. 70'S STYLE

Another look I am excited about for spring is reminiscent of 70's icon Jerry Hall at Studio 54. It's a little bit disco, but updated. Flowy skirts, big hair and bold eyes were key. You can tone down the look with these peachy finds...

BLUE JEAN BABY. 70'S STYLE

1970's inspired denim was another trend all over the  spring runways {like the swoon worthy Derek Lam show}. Bell-bottoms and high-waisted jeans are a trend I can totally get behind {like here and here}. Anything to look like my super chic mother from the early 70's.

REBECCA TAYLOR. SPRING 2011

Looking through the Rebecca Taylor  spring 2011 collection I found myself wanting every single piece. Sigh. I love the 70's feel, the breezy chiffon and most of all that tomato orange which makes my heart all a-flutter. I can see myself living in these dresses come spring, at least in my dreams. Can't it be spring yet?...
