DENIM AND TWEED

posted by Elshane on Jun 6 2016, under Fashion

It may not be June 20th yet, but it's definitely summer in my books! To me, summer is all about casual denim, open toes, and extra frizzy-chic hair (yupppp-- embrace that fro). It's a glass of rosé after work while the sun is still out, a bright red lip sitting against tanned skin with no other makeup, and a Tuesday afternoon beach daydream. It's concerts, movies, and extra long strolls!

Actually, strapping on these Tevas for this look gave me a major flashback to years past at summer music festivals. With Bonnoroo coming up, I'm definitely feeling the FOMO a bit.

The only music festival I'll be seeing this summer is starring this new band called, "The Crying Sundays". It's a fabulous one woman show and she defies the odds of success for such young talent! Only 2 months old. Hehehe.....

GONE GLAMPING

posted by Elshane on Jun 1 2016, under Fashion

Has anyone else heard the term "glamping", or is that one of those things that falls into this ridiculous "that's so LA "category, as well? {Cue: all previous Coachella posts...}

Glamping is camping for, well... chicks like me. It's glam camping, and it's that time you leave your flashlight and bug zapper behind. Out with the tents, and in with luxe hotels and couture in the center of nature.

I took a trip up to Big Sur, California and wandered through the insanely impressive redwood forest in what only seemed fitting... a head to toe sheer Pucci lewk. It just felt right.

Big Sur is a rugged stretch of Cali's central coast by Carmel, positioned between the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, known for jagged cliffs, tight windy mountain roads, and state parks tucked in the endless redwood forest. We spent the day exploring town-- quaint luncheonettes and mom and pop shops along the bluffs-- and took in the breathtaking drive. 

Plus, I had my handy camping backpack (yup, this bite sized Christian Louboutin leather and beaded beauty) to store all of my glamping essentials... like my cell phone, lip gloss, and room key. ;)

STIRR'N'UP FOR SPRING

posted by Elshane on May 18 2016, under Fashion

Cheers to the women who wear the pants!

Those absolutely unique, eye-catching, head-turning pants, that is!!

Take these McGuire pants that give life to both the top and bottom leg with the help of fringe and stirrups! Best worn with simple white like this off the shoulder top and some killer heels, it's impossible to not look effortless and cool for a night out with the crew!

SUMMERING IN STRIPES

posted by Elshane on May 12 2016, under Fashion

LA's got me sold on this t-shirt vibe. 

A casual cotton tee can chill out any luxe item from your wardrobe (take this embroidered leather skirt, for example) and turn it into a daytime dream!

Besides, I don't think there's been any stronger emphasis on sneakers than this spring. Pair 'em with skirts, dresses, and jeans galore and hit the town running! (Get it? I know...) Comfort has never felt so chic. ;)

FOREVER IN WHITE

posted by Elshane on May 2 2016, under Fashion

A white dress for spring is the perfect blank canvas to paint on bold accessories.

Grab that colored wide brim hat from your closet (oh, wait, you don't have one? Why not?! It's a must this season!) and a stack of dainty gold chains, effortless espadrilles and a luxe tonal handbag to make a stamp on style this spring season!

I have been gravitating to white clothing so much lately. And I don't even have my tan in check. Anyone else feel me on the white movement?

FAREWELL WINTER, HELLO FRINGE

posted by Elshane on Mar 16 2016, under Fashion

Let's throw two fingers in the air and collectively say PEACE to winter! 

It's been real. The snow, the running noses, the endless fur-- I can appreciate it all! But let's be honest...

Spring is where the heart is! 

Fringe has made its way through the seasons and it's not stopping for spring! It's actually such a forecasted staple that it's even being shown on the runways in Paris for Fall 16' and in endless campaigns worldwide for next winter.

I rounded up a few of my favorite lightweight fringe sweaters to transition during this season shift. Binge on Fringe!!

SPRING INTO A BOHO MAXI

posted by Elshane on Mar 8 2016, under Fashion

With the turn of March comes the sparkly inevitable... spring fashion! Sunshine! Tan shoulders! Although it's still hard to justify a mini dress with sandals {as I scroll through instagram and watch all of my New Yorker chicks still fighting the snow}, I knew the perfect style recipe would be a maxi dress and seasonless boots.

These boots were a new score for me-- and I'm not sure how I've lived my entire life without them! Perfect for all seasons, this ankle boot has just the right heel to take me from day to night. Also, the purposely scuffed toe box makes them feel like a true treasure. Plus, for under $200, they're worth every penny!

This maxi dress is a sort of a laugh at myself kind of moment. It's obviously not a maternity dress, yet somehow my 37 week bump squeezed right on in! I didn't even size up. It's one of those mysteries that I just can't explain. Point of the story? It's seemingly perfect for not only every growing belly, but of course, every enviable flat abdomen out there. 

I topped the look off with a personal favorite-- a Mexican woven backpack. Timeless, chic, and completely effortless, this bag is a staple for spring.

ICE BLUE ESSENTIALS

posted by Elshane on Feb 23 2016, under Fashion

Here I am trying to soak up every last minute of winter...

Sheer tights are my favorite way to accessorize a dress in winter season. They show off the leg, yet hide the non-existent tan! What more could you ask for? This Swiss dot pair is a go-to favorite of mine-- a staple with a black mini dress, or pop of color as shown in this lewk. 

I added my favorite oversized fur because I'm trying to get as much use out of it as possible before this 80 degree Los Angeles weather sets in for good. While everyone around me is chasing the sun, I still have a few good fur moments to cherish! If I still lived in New York, my furs would get more miles than Runyon Canyon's hike on a Saturday morning. The sacrifice is real!

And then there's the dress... oh how I can't wait to re-wear this after my bump is gone! I've never been a huge fan of the tight dress with bump vibe, but I couldn't let this tweed beauty sit in my closet all season long without any action. She will be back this spring and worn as intended-- like the mod shift that she was always born to be! Did I mention she's currently on sale?
