This is the look I wore into the dressing room before trying on all these pretty dresses. My favorite Nation Los Angeles Loren Tee. I have one in cream too but this espresso brown feels very of the moment. I’m wearing my go-to dark denim bootcut jeans from DL 1961. I reach for these whenever I want to be casual but with just a little extra polish. — espresso brown top, brown long sleeve tee, puff shoulder top, dark denim jeans, bootcut jeans, casual chic, peasant top

Alright LTK family THIS dress is EVERYTHING. It’s a gorgeous silk taffeta dress that I tried on for a black tie occasion and I haven’t shared it with anyone but it’s too good to keep hidden! I LOVE this espresso brown color and the pretty bow pattern throughout. It truly feels like a dress made for fall. I hope I have somewhere appropriate to wear it soon! Unfortunately this is a designer sample from Alex and April, a London based designer worth following BUT I’ve picked several beautiful options for you to shop! — fall outfit, black tie, espresso brown dress, gown, brown dress, fall statement dress

This white button down shirt is a wardrobe staple that can be worn in so many different ways. Here I’ve paired mine with unconventional vegan leather trousers.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

Sometimes the star of the show is around the back. This Mod Ref dress is pretty and elegant from all angles but the draped back with the lovely tie detail takes a simple silhouette to the next level!

#LTKParties #LTKStyleTip

Simple tops are a staple in my wardrobe but sometimes I want them to do a little more. That’s where the ruffles come in! I paired this little ruffle crop top with my structured, voluminous skirt, added a pair of killer boots and we are good to go!

#LTKStyleTip

The midi pencil dress looks as good seated as it does standing. Love a little detail like these micro puff cap sleeves.

#LTKStyleTip

An elegant take on the mini skirt. Pair it with a long sleeve top with some drape and a muted shade. This one is a light mauve. The skirt and the top have a nice weight to them. I love the silver belt buckle, but the pockets on the skirt cinch the deal!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

Oversized jackets double as dresses. This one was my dad’s, custom made for him in Tanzania. I am wearing a minidress underneath but I admit you’d be hard pressed to know it! The oxfords are classics from Margiela. Fall is officially in full swing

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

Cropped sweaters might not keep you super warm but they will keep you super cute. A worthy trade off when the temperatures haven’t yet dipped too low. Wearing the crop with a super low rise jean accentuates the extremes!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

Every Sunday my husband and I walk up to our local farmers market to gather fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers for the week ahead. It’s a ritual we love but alas, no dogs allowed. Sorry Cleo! My outfits vary from super chic to utterly undone. Here I am existing somewhere between the two in clothes I wore on a hike earlier in the morning. It’s a wonderful life. 💕🌺

#LTKPets #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Just me, hanging out by the hearth, enjoying sweater weather! I’ve always loved the chunky sweater mini skirt pairing. It’s a look that moves easily between a coffee shop hang and a farmers market stroll to an easy breezy dinner out.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

One of the many benefits of living in Los Angeles is the proximity to nature. Sure, it makes us vulnerable in many ways but it also allows us access to beautiful wild spaces. There are several hikes within easy reach of my front door and as a lifelong lover of the hiking trail this fills me with so much joy and brings much solace. I’m usually wearing some Nike leggings and sneakers, one of a very small selection of baseball caps I keep on rotation and whatever t-shirt I grab first! My Spotify playlist is music to my ears!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKActive

A favorite fall activity of mine is wearing a cozy sweater and getting snuggly on my couch with my canine guardian and best friend Cleo at my feet. Key elements that make this moment sing are the aforementioned cozy sweater (this one is from Zara) a warm blanket (mine is faux fur) and some lovely throw pillows. I love Serena and Lilly for home accessories that are neutral and chic!

Let’s talk about the color yellow. I’m wearing a buttery yellow slip dress here inspired by all the pops of color I saw on the Loewe runway a few days ago. Loving the mix of colors and the bright optimism of sunny hues. I think we could all use an infusion of sunshine these days and an easy way to accomplish this is through the clothes on our backs. They signal to us and everyone we encounter that hope springs eternal!

I’m smiling because…
1. I’m choosing an attitude of gratitude.
2. I’m going out tonight and I’m excited.
3. I’m a woman in love… with my borderline too low rise jeans!
4. All of the above.
What’s making you smile today?

“I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick... I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.” - Audrey Hepburn

I’ll add, I believe in statement dresses and curated spaces that embrace and uplift! This dress is made from scuba fabric giving it tons of structure and a vibe that’s at once playful and serious

Distressed jeans are making a comeback. Well, maybe we won’t call it a comeback because did they ever leave?? A puff sleeve sweatshirt makes this sartorial conversation a little more interesting.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

This bodycon dress is one of my favorites. I scooped it at Top Shop once upon a long time ago but it’s still relevant today. I love the long sleeve, the crew neck and the midi length!

I love this Mary Oliver poem. I reread it today and it was just the thing I needed. So I’m sharing it with you in case it’s just what you need too!

Wild Geese, by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

A simple square neck top and a straight legged pant. Enough said! Ok, I'll say a little more. The top is from H&M and the pants are Theory. My gold oxfords were a find from Monoprix in Paris. I think this is a classic fall look for work or on days when you want to skip the denim.

#LTKSeasonal

I know it’s fall vibes everywhere but I’m in sunny Southern California so, some days I still revert to these summery staples!

Red pants are a bold choice but if you find the right pair it’s a risk with major payoffs. I’ve had these velvet trousers forever. They are from a French designer named Catherine Malandrino. Love love love them. Bootcut to perfection. The top is NastyGal and yes, I’m still down to wear shoulder pads!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

I love a dressing room moment. This is me backstage at E! News (RIP) in a hot pink, one shoulder dress that I’m clearly loving! This dress would be just as happy going out for dinner or drinks or to any number of celebratory events!

#LTKParties

There’s just something about a backless dress. 🖤

By the light of the silvery moon in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Blue jeans a puff sleeve shirt from Reformation and my trusty Veja sneakers

A black bubble dress with a big bow and a spaghetti strap is everything I need in this moment!

Strappy heels, a chic clutch and a night at The Ludlow NYC is a recipe for very good times indeed

Slip dress era going strong. 🖤

#slipdress

Self care is self love. Just do it. Osea Malibu body scrub and nourishing body oil offer a one two punch that leaves my skin radiant, soft and smelling like I just emerged from an aromatherapeutic spa treatment. Yes please!

#LTKBeauty #LTKStyleTip #LTKHome

Body con dress with a high slit and modest neckline. Yes please

#LTKStyleTip

It’s all about the boots which I scooped on a trip to Rome. Ok the skinny black jeans and a perfectly fitted little top play strong supporting roles.
