Casual Classic

This is one of the comfiest outfits I've probably ever worn. From the easy tee to the boyfriend jeans to the sneakz, what could have been better? I may have (definitely did) even worn this 2 days in a row because it was so easy, simple, and casual classic! From dinner to breakfast to lunch to a night out at the Hollywood Bowl, this ensemble certainly held up! After dressing up and ignoring my aching feet Monday-Friday, weekends are reserved for sandals, sneakers, and all things comfy!

Here are some more ideas to rock a casual look for the weekend!

Statement Necklace & Jalapeno Wine

{sweater: c/o zlz | jeans: seven for all mankind | wedges: toms (similar) | necklace: baublebar | sunglasses: juicy couture | purse: rebecca taylor (similar)}

I'm going to try to get as much wear out of this sweater as I can before the temperatures rise so high I don't even want to wear clothes. (Don't worry, guys. I'll still wear clothes. I just won't want to.)

I wore this to meet some friends in Downtown LA at Industriel for dinner and drinks. I had a delicious white fish entree, and we all shared a bottle of wine (I think it was a Sauvignon Blanc?). It had "hints of jalapeno" in it. Which, if you drink wine, you know is super weird. I could taste the bite in every sip. If you don't drink wine, let me just tell you, it's pretty darn weird.

Classic Summer Essentials

Summer is vastly approaching! Today is my last night of grad class until August! (Truth be told, it's a pizza party...) I have less than 2 weeks left of the school year at work before I move on to a new adventure! I'm so close to a summer of mini-vacays and lots of concerts! And on top of it all, the weather is slowly creeping up into the 80s... Summer is on the brink!

I'm pretty sure there are no more classic pieces for summer than a classic white tee, a pair of jean cutoff shorts, and some basic sandals. What are your classic summer essentials?

Style - Coast to Coast: Emerald

Remember last month when Sarah & I introduced our new monthly feature Style - Coast to Coast to you all? Well, we're back in action for March! This month's theme? A little Pantone color of the year/St. Patrick's Day-inspired emerald green!

After Sarah & I came up with the bright idea to do emerald for March, I realized... I don't really own any green. You are truly seeing the only two green items I own - my most fabulous rain boots and this bubble necklace my coworker got me! Still, a little bit of green goes a long way!

As I may have mentioned before, I have a bit of a distaste for St. Patrick's Day, for 2 reasons:
1. I don't like holidays that dictate my wardrobe.
2. I hate pinching.

C'est la vie...

My friend does it again - how fabulous is this look? She is the classy to my sassy! I love the juxtaposition of the delicate, feminine white dress anchored down with a statement belt and structured blazer! I love that we both went with a touch of oxblood - my tank and her pumps! Great minds think alike! Emerald and oxblood create a great color palette that's taken us from fall to winter, and now transitioning into spring!

Head over to Think Twice Style to see what Sarah has to say about her green attire!

How are you going to incorporate green into your St. Patrick's Day attire this weekend?

We'd love for you all to spread the word about Style - Coast to Coast! Pin this image if you'd like to help get our names out there - we'd really appreciate it! :)

Winter Evening Layers

{dress, tights, & jacket: target | sweater: luna | hat & wedges: forever 21 | watch: marc by marc jacobs | purse: rebecca tayor}

Ahhh, the ultimate challenge for a Southern California girl: what to wear for evening when it's cold! (And seriously, it was cold. I'm talking low 30s with a chance of rain. THAT IS COLD, PEOPLE.)

Anyway, my style aesthetic came up with a very obvious answer: layers! I piled on a dress, tights, booties, sweater, jacket, and hat! I probably could have added a scarf and gloves, I swear, I was so cold! 

I wore this for an evening in LA with my mom. We had dinner at Engine Co 28 for Dine LA Week (Helloooo, delicious cheeseburger...) and then headed to the Ahmanson to see Backbeat - the story of the early years of my favorite band, The Beatles! And a good (warm) time was had by all.
