I can’t seem to stop buying button down shirts from Madewell right now. “This one has little palm trees, I’ll take it.” “This one has has an open back! I’ll take it.” THIS one has a great plaid color palate, I’ll take it!” – me, every time I step foot in Madewell. I just...

HOW TO: FYF FEST // IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ANGRY ORCHARD
After 7 years of living in Los Angeles, I FINALLY had the chance this year to attend the city’s beloved FYF Fest. FYF has been an annual Summertime music festival in LA since 2004 and with each new year they seem to continue to raise the bar on themselves. The fact that I got...
DINNER AT FELIX TRATTORIA
Ask me, “where can I get the best pasta in LA?”, and today I would tell you “Felix” – without an ounce of hesitation. The opening of Felix Trattoria has quite possibly been the most anticipated restaurant opening of the year. With the somewhat abrupt closing of beloved Bucato, foodies familiar with chef Evan...
THE BEST MULES FOR SUMMER
If there’s one shoe I am seriously crushing on this year, it’s the mule. It took me a minute to get to this place, and now that I’m here I ain’t lookin’ back! I’m not typically drawn to flats, but there have been so many great flat mules coming out this year that I...
DINNER AT TALLULA’S
I’d heard nothing but praises for Tallula’s since they opened their doors back in May. But even outside of the praises from peers, it didn’t take much convincing once I’d learned that the masterminds behind everything that is good in Santa Monica (i.e. Rustic Canyon, Milo & Olive, Huckleberry, and so on) were behind...
HOW TO ROCK THE BANDANA TREND
I constantly go back and forth between wondering if I can actually pull off the bandana trend. They’re honestly not the easiest of accessories to pull off, but when you do, it’s awesome. I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge – especially a fashion challenge – so I’ve been having a...
HOTBOX INFRARED SAUNA STUDIO
Saunas. So hot right now. (wink wink.) But really – infrared sauna studios are a thing! And HotBox Sauna Studio Downtown has successfully turned me into a major fan. HotBox might not be the first infrared sauna studio, but they are the absolute best when it comes to creating the most appealing and enjoyable sauna...
MOD ROCK N ROLL
Is there seriously anything better than finding things you love from your favorite designers on sale? I absolutely L O V E a good sale, and the sales going on this Summer are making me one very happy shopper. Where I feel like I scored the most though was on these amazing Stuart Weitzman...
SUMMER FRIDAY WITH FARFETCH
Last week I had the most INCREDIBLE opportunity to join the luxury fashion website Farfetch on a grand “Summer in LA” adventure. In just one day we shopped till we dropped at the stunning Maxfield boutique, we sipped on sparkling champagne by the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel, we roamed *privately* through the...
ARROYO SECO WEEKEND RECAP
There are few better things in life than experiencing a festival in its first year of existence. With the growing popularity of music festivals in general, I’ve been fortunate enough to actually experience several “first festivals”. But my favorite “first festival” so far? Easily Arroyo Seco – a festival that’s actually held right here...
