CASUAL CALI VIBES

Ah, California. There's nothing like taking a minute to sit in the sun and enjoy some chill vibes. This outfit is perfect for taking in some winter sun. A cozy yet lightweight jacket is easily paired with cool slim jeans and a classic pair of Vans. Let the sun shine!

HONOLULU BOMBER

Aloha! Here's to this killer cool Honolulu satin bomber jacket. Even when the autumn descends and the temps chill down, I still like to bring a certain splash of tropical style to my look. Otherwise, it would just be a plain pair of black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt - not that there's anything wrong with that ;)

PINK SUEDE BOMBER

Category is: bomber and turtleneck realness! Loved the pairing of this pink suede bomber with a classic white sweater and destroyed denim, finished off with patent slippers and some standout accessories. I'm ready for the crisp fall air but still feelin' fresh!

CALIFORNIA COOL

This look kind of epitomizes my approach to relaxed, California cool dressing - all year round. A unique vintage tank, breezy button up, and cuffed pair of denim. Checkered skate sneaks add an extra element of cool that pays homage to my hometown of Venice.

Swap out the jeans for a pair of swim trunks and espadrilles and this look heads from the street to the beach. Killer!

EMERALD CITY

For my first foray into fall style this season, I figured that I would start with a great emerald green bomber jacket, paired with an easy white tee and great worn-in jeans.

Autumn, I'm ready for ya... now if the weather would only cool down!

CHECKS + KHAKI

There's something to be said for the art of bespoke tailoring, however in this increasingly modern digital age, the authenticity of this craft can oftentimes be lost. Enter Knot Standard, an incredibly rad line of custom-made menswear. Through their easy online process of providing a handful of my personalized measurements, I was able to create this checkered blazer which has quickly become one of my new staples.

I paired this with a simple white t-shirt and a great pair of khaki colored skinny denim that I picked up last week at J.Crew men's denim event at The Grove.

An effortless summertime look, over easy.

PATTERN POP

An all-white outfit can sometimes benefit from pops of pattern, even when they're in black and white.

I felt like this was an easy-to-throw-on look for running around on the weekend, and ticks all of my favorite boxes: casual shirt, cool shorts, and fun prints.

GLOWING

Good timing paired with the proper pose resulted in this glowing photo. It was late afternoon, golden hour, and when I stepped into this spot I knew that it was all working together. Something about the strength of the sun and the black backdrop really makes this white on white look (with a hint of denim, of course) pop.

UNIFORM

Oftentimes, I find myself sticking to what I call my uniform. Easy and effortless, it rarely fails me. What is this uniform, you ask? A great pair of shades, one of my biker jackets, a neutral shirt, skinny jeans and statement slippers. This outfit, which I wore just before heading to Vegas for the trade shows, ticks all of those boxes.

BACK TO REALITY

Here's hoping that everyone is having a spectacular 2014 so far! I've been getting back into the swing of work and my usual routine after being so lucky to have a nice break during the holidays. This means my usual iced latte in the morning, catching up on magazines and blogs and emails galore!

Here's an outfit I wore for lunch and a walk along Abbot Kinney in Venice recently.

B&W STEEZ

This laidback summertime look makes the most of the B&W trend that is still going strong... I've really gotten behind this since sticking to B&W can just make look simple yet impactful at the same time.

SUN AND STONE

To me, one of the best feelings in the world is right after you get your hair done. You know the feeling. The day or two before a hair appointment, you just feel like your hair is too long, too grown out, too gross. Or at least I do! This was part of the reason I spent a majority of last week sportin' my snapback hat.

Well this morning I had a stop on the Blonde Ambition Reunion Tour (what I like to call it whenever I get my hair did). Afterwards, I stepped out into the sun and snapped some photos of today's outfit against this massive stone wall.
