An ironic setting this came to be... standing atop the train station in Chinatown, Los Angeles in (quite comfortable) sky high heels, people watching.

I used to be that very girl in NYC, heels in tow, waiting for the next subway to take me from work to cocktails, from cocktails to shopping. But in LA? This was new to me.

Good thing I had on a trusty denim skirt-- an item that no spring closet should be without. Best paired with a white tee and your favorite kicks, it's a full-proof fashion-meets-comfort zone. 

Best part of a denim skirt? It's a style that's here to stay.

This is what I'd call a hit and run shoot. Hit the closet, score hard on a breezy dress, and run out of the house to be fashionably late to the party. Which is exactly what happened. I was literally running out of my house to go to a daytime beach bar to sip rosé with friends and watch the sunset, when I decided this dress deserved some solid blog lovin'.

The night ended with a few pies of pizza and a really stellar mint chip ice cream cone. I think part of what made the day so memorable was this perfect daytime LBD. It was as effortless as Kim Kardashian's hair David Beckham's free kick.

It's quite possibly my new favorite <3.

When there's a ray of sunshine, the hemlines go up...and up! It's a rule. And it's one of those rules that just need not be broken.

This spring is an ode to classic spring dresses-- floral, flirty, and fearless!

Keep it short, keep those legs tanned, and keep that smile bright.

It's like a brownie-in-a-box recipe...

Simple. Delicious.

This week I stepped into spring with two feet forwards while breaking two classic rules in fashion that frankly, never should have been cemented anyway.

1. White shoes before Memorial Day is an absolute must. 

2. A clutch for daytime is a big, fat DO. 

Here, I stepped into a little European escape and strutted my little {actually huge, size 10} feet around as if I had an over-poured glass of rosé in one hand, and possibly a team of handsomely dressed Greek beach boys in the other. 

Instead, I was really just meeting a friend for a drink in Los Angeles. But we can all dream, right?

I can smell festival season and spring break around the corner. Aside from loading up on endless floral dresses, festive headpieces, statement sunnies, and body jewels, this season I made room for the most practical festival fashion element of all: comfortably cool thangs.

I remember day three of Coachella last year. My outfit called for a low leather wedge sandal, but when I woke up that Sunday morning, after two full days of being on my feet, I reached for my pink Teva sandals instead. Best.decision.ever. (Peek at last year's Coachella fashion diary throwback here.)

This year, I'm preparing my Coachella Teva sandals ahead of time! Luckily, comfort came in the form of Teva sandals with a matching JammyPack...oh yeah, that's the official name for this 90's throwback walkin' and talkin' boom-box slash stuff holder. Which reminds me... my hubby actually already stole it from me to wear to Coachella himself. Battle of the sexes!!! {I will definitely win this one.}

It wasn't supposed to rain today. 

My day off plan was as follows: Chow deep into Soho House West Hollywood's Sunday Brunch Buffet (if you don't know...now you know {wowzas}) and then hit the Melrose Flea Market to walk off the five towering plates of brunch heaven. 

Brunch, check. Flea market in the rain? Not so popular.

So instead, in my perfectly near-spring lewk, we twirled like Mary Poppins and did our Sunday's Best...

To go along with my "always trying to go against the norm" approach to dressing, it's rare that you'll find me in blue jeans. But, my new love for ripped jeans has me reaching for denim more than ever these days.

Rips are newly appearing in a display of surprising sizes and shapes {literally-- have you seen the knees on these bad boys!?} and I'm raising two thumbs up!

I've selected some of my favorite ripped jeans below for you to shop for spring. From a drop crotch pair with an overly ripped knee, to a patchwork ripped skinny, this new, new denim is a must in any spring wardrobe!

One article of clothing in just the right place can change everything...

Take this cozy beach sweater from Wildfox Couture...yeah, the one that I'd usually wear with black skinny leather pants and a perfectly paired boot. Now change your way of thinking. Subtract the motorcycle weekend babe and add the straight from tennis, but left my sweat on the court babe... and you are left with this perfectly preppy prima donna. 

And for the girl who prefers baggy drop crotch on a Monday, and a pastel pencil skirt on a Thursday, hanging a "gone preppy" sign on my forehead doesn't seem so bad after all.

For the love of fashion, and playing the part of who you choose to be every single day of every single week...
