I love when your mani accidentally coordinates with your outfit!
Trying to be serious…….and failing…..
Leslie and I met for crepes at The Americana in Glendale, CA on a random Saturday. I’ve been wearing this Tucker for Target dress with brown shoes/accessories so I decided to switch it up and go with black here. I just wanted something easy to throw on and run out the door. What’s your “go to” quick outfit on the weekends?

I wish it would rain. I’m Hating this heat wave right now. I look positively wilted.
I’ve been so inspired by Kendi’s 30 for 30 lately. It’s really given me a new look on my wardrobe! So here is my handmade dress, remixed. (perhaps you’ll be seeing it again?)

Blouse : gift
Belt : target

Well, the next production is starting. For those of you that don’t know, I am a wardrobe supervisor at a local theatre, which means I have to wear black backstage. I spend much of my time wearing all black, actually. I try to make it as interesting as possible, given my options are limited.
The galoshes I will change out of, to be sure!

Last weekend I went to the South Coast Plaza to do some shopping with the beau.
As you can see, it was a little windy and chilly!
I love this blouse-especially the subtle ruffles at the neck line that give it some texture.
I thought my blue and silver Rebecca Minkoff bag would be the perfect accent since the rocker-vibe contrasts with the lady-like feel of the blouse and also because……
I got to meet her that afternoon at Saks! Yay! I wrote more about our meeting and her beautiful Spring collection here.
‘Til next time…… ;)

I had a little too much fun at The Cutting Room in West Hollywood on Saturday night which meant grabbing a breakfast burrito in a super casual outfit Sunday morning! Instead of sneakers, I turned to my oxfords for fun. I love how they work for laid-back outfits like this as well as cute skirts and dresses. What do you turn to when you don’t feel like dressing up?
