Living in Los Angeles has been a dream of mine since I was a young girl, so actually building a life here can feel a little surreal at times. But every autumn, I find myself wishing I was back “home” in Northern California to revel in the beauty of the vineyard harvest and the substantial … Continue reading Fast-Forward Into Fall

Dress, Victoria Beckham for Target. Shoes, Charlotte Russe. Bag, Kate Spade (similar here). When I first heard Victoria Beckham designed a collection for Target, I nearly fainted. Although Baby Spice was my favorite of the Spice Girls, Posh (a.k.a. Victoria Beckham) was a close second. Beckham’s affordable line of fun women’s clothing at Target is a … Continue reading Posh Approved
Most of us have those colors in our wardrobe that we turn to endlessly. For me, it’s neutrals like navy, white, and the occasional black. Yet while those classic color staples serve a wardrobe well, they can get a little ho-hum when January rolls around. That’s why I love incorporating brights into my everyday wardrobe.

Autumnal tones at my family’s ranch Blouse, Forever 21 (here); Jeans, Paige Denim; Hat, BDG Urban Outfitters (similar styles here, here and here) I love florals year-round and this blouse is moody enough to wear well into November. In Los Angeles, I’d probably pair it with a suede mini skirt (see below); however, it’s rained since I arrived in Mendocino County a … Continue reading Falling for Florals
It should come as no surprise that the Griffith Observatory has been voted one of the ten most romantic places in Los Angeles. There’s something so classically romantic about ending a date up on the southern slope of Mount Hollywood. Perhaps its the breathtaking views both day and night, or that it brings to mind Rebel Without A Cause starring … Continue reading City Romance
In the past two weeks, it’s drizzled twice in L.A. While this excites the Northern California-raised me, the rain felt sticky and humid like a tropical vacation.
