Portland style is a unique blend of quirk and charm. Equal parts hippy and hipster, ladies in the Rose City have perfected the skill of crafting one-of-a-kind ensembles that mix and match vintage or thrift items with new, trendy pieces. The vibe here is easy and loose; parkas and rain boots far outnumber suits and heels, and no look is off-limits in a town with the unofficial slogan “Keep Portland Weird.” Read the rest of this entry »

It all began in 1957, when a certain woman we love, the late Audrey Hepburn, dazzled us with something so chic, so elegant that we thought to ourselves, “Why didn’t we think of that?” The Funny Face gal wore something that now has become a comfortable, fashionable, and important piece to every woman’s wardrobe: the legging.

Liz and her husband had planned a celebratory weekend in Vegas to mark a big win at work. She asked my help to put together a wardrobe that would work for both the ambiance, weather and activities of a solid Vegas weekend. Of course, I couldn’t resist!

It seems like summer hardly arrives in nor leaves LA, but the fashion gods dictate that fall fashion must make its appearance despite the weather. Light dresses and rompers (now here to stay?) get new life in the fall with some smart layering under a boyfriend blazer.
Light fabrics like rayon and silk look fresh for fall with a blazer, sleeves rolled up and slightly oversized. Add booties and a light scarf, and you’ve got a look that can go from lunch to cocktails without a hitch! Read the rest of this entry »
