Fashionably Fixated on...

One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten | Eleven

My current shoe obsession is with d'Orsay flats. They're a simple twist on the basic flat with a truly elegant feel (I can imagine Audrey Hepburn donning them with cigarette trousers). Luckily there's a pair for everyone with prices ranging from high (Jenni Kayne) to low (Forever 21). My personal fave is Ruche's classic black and white striped d'Orsay flats, which I may or may not have just purchased ;) Is this a shoe style you'll be trying?

I've recently discovered the versatility of vests. They're a fantastic layering piece and when it's tailored like this one, they pull together an outfit as perfectly as a blazer. A jacket without sleeves is genius for the summer months. Next on my radar to purchase: a denim vest and a sleeveless trench.

If you follow my Instagram feed you already know that I'm jetting off to LA for my next vacation and I couldn't be more excited. I've always had a soft spot for California with its sunshine, palm trees and casual, cool style. Here's an outfit I pulled together that's inspired by the Sunshine State and that I'd love to wear while I'm there.

PS: Since it's been 10 years since I was last in LA, I'd appreciate any recommendations on where you love to eat, play and shop!

I wore this outfit to the Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake concert last week, which was seriously amazing. And now that I'm in my early 30s, comfort is key when I'm at a show. I give props to the girls who wear sky high heels all night because I just can't do it anymore! My solution is to wear flats with stylish details, along with an outfit that's equally comfortable. What's your go-to look for concerts?

Pretty in Pink

{ Dress: H&M (old) // Belt: Wilfred via Aritzia // Sandals: Fergalicious by Fergie // Bag: Chanel // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs // Necklace: JewelMint "Baroque Bloom" }

I pulled out this pretty neon pink dress to wear that I bought last summer for $20 at H&M. I really should wear it more often because it's perfect for weddings, high tea, or even just sitting on the couch watching Molly Ringwald movies.
