I’ve written about my secrets for thrifting, and how to sell your vintage clothes. But let’s bring it back to basics for a minute: how do you even tell if something is vintage to begin with? Before we get into my tips for identifying vintage, let’s talk about the definition…
Wedding season 2019 has officially begun! If you’ve been following my blog for all of 30 seconds, you know I embrace any excuse to dress up. So I am stoked for another wedding season. I love experimenting with silhouettes and volume, and this year’s puff sleeve trend is the perfect…
I have been thinking a lot about how my personal style has evolved as a Californian turned New Yorker turned Californian. In many ways I feel like I “grew up” when I moved to NYC, and in equal ways, my personal style grew up with me. I learned the art…
I’m so excited that this post is finally here! It’s been a month + a few weeks since we’ve been back from Africa, and I’ve finally had time to decompress and reflect on the trip. If you want to read about the itinerary details (where we stayed, what we did),…

Usually when warmer weather finally rolls around, I find myself immediately reaching for the prints, patterns, and boldest colors in my closet. But this year I’ve been singing a different tune.

By the look of these photos you’d think I wasn’t freezing, but surprise, I was! It’s still in the 30s here in NYC and I have never been more readdddddddy for Spring to spring y’all. One of my favorite pieces to rock in the springtime (or dead of winter, as…
