Crew (siimlar) | Chain Necklace: BaubleBar | Pave Bar Necklace: Brooklyn Night Market vendor (similar) | Stacking Rings: BaubleBar | Clutch: Kate Spade (on sale!) |  Love Knot Ring: BaubleBar I bought these pants about two years ago and never wore them until now - I fell in love with the pleats, the movement, and the fact that they're subtly sheer. I thought they'd be the perfect pants for dinner in Yountville (in Napa County), and to make sure I wasn't too dressed up,...

I was inspired to do this post when a client recently reached out to me with the opposite dilemma of what I'm used to getting - her closet is filled with bright colors and fun prints, and she doesn't have enough of the basics to complement it. So I got the idea to start a mini-series, Style 101, with all the style basics and essentials to building a functional wardrobe. Today we're going to start with the basics - the pieces I consider will go with everything and anything! A black blazer: This can be thrown on over...

How was your weekend? Did you get a chance to watch the Oscars and/or attend an Oscars party? Lauren and I hosted a small get together at our apartment with popcorn, cheese and crackers, and this really delicious cheese & bean dip that her friends made. Yum!  My favorite looks from the red carpet are: Image via eonline Amy Adams & Jennifer Lawrence Jessica Chastain image via eonline; Jennifer Garner image via Jessica Chastain & Jennifer Garner. Who were your faves? Other highlights from the weekend include: -Finding out I won Keaton Row's latest styling challenge - a...

I love San Francisco. I think the biggest reason is that so many people I love are there, and it's always hard to leave them again! On the bright side, because we so rarely visit, we got to see pretty much everyone! Here's a quick recap of my trip in photos - forgive me if you've already seen these on Instagram! Left-right, top-bottom: 1. Ready to depart JFK! 2. A mini bottle of rose for Valentine's Day at 10am NY time; 7am SF time - why not? 3. It's practically tradition now - the first thing we do...

I've changed up my routine a little bit since my Beauty Essentials post - although I have stuck with the same mascara and bronzer, winter has been wreaking havoc on my skin so I had to change up my skincare routine a little bit. Then, I felt like I was in a makeup rut so wanted to find some fun new products to play with!

Image via, words my own Happy Valentine's Day, loves!  I'm off to retrieve my heart...from San Francisco, where I seem to leave it every time I'm in and out of the city! (There's just something about it that's so charming. Plus I'm always nostalgic about my hometown!) I am excited to spend time with family, take outfit photos in scenic locations, go wine tasting in Napa, get a haircut from the one hairstylist I trust in the US, and to try out new restaurants. I really am a West Coast transplant at heart! If you've been to SF...

 Printed Clutch: Claire Vivier // Watch: Michael Kors // Scarf: mark. //  Ring: Tinley Road // Loafers: Sam Edelman // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff There's something so luxurious looking about these neutrals paired with gold or rose gold (and, ok, the ring itself is really just gold with white, but it's so pretty I couldn't resist adding it in!). I think these accessories would be perfectly paired with a casual outfit (like casual skinny destroyed jeans and a white button down oxford) to add a touch of glamour. Plus, these are keeping me hopeful for Spring - and warmer temps! ...

I added a classic but chunky Bauble Bar necklace (it currently isn't on the site - maybe it sold out?), and I also recently decided I needed...

The two days of IFB Conference were amazing! I was exhausted by the end of the first day, and had to charge my phone about 3 times throughout the day thanks to my constant tweeting, taking photos, and Instagramming. It was pretty hectic to do all that AND take notes, but I managed! (For links, please scroll to the bottom of the post.) It was so exciting to see all these huge bloggers and hear from entrepreneurs - unfortunately the only person I didn't get a photo of is Katia Beauchamp, Co-Founder of BirchBox - I only realized...

Image via Everyone's phones went off yesterday at the same time with an emergency alert for a blizzard! As far as I can tell it's been snowing steadily since early this morning...I'm glad I don't absolutely have to go outside!  Anyway, my head is buzzing with everything I learned at IFB Conference - it was a really fun experience and I highly recommend it if you've never been to a blogging conference! Everyone was super sweet, and the panelists were great! I also feel like I just have so much to learn about blogging. There were lots of...

Hello! Today is the 2nd (and final) day of IFB Conference. Yesterday was absolutely amazing! There were so many inspiring women - lately I seem to keep coming across them, which I absolutely love. Today is a day full of workshops, beginning with how to take better photos for the blog - I wish Lauren could come with me to that since she's my photographer! I'll be sure to recap in more detail on here next week (which shouldn't be hard - I've taken about 20 pages of notes so far!), but for now I'll leave you with...

The IFB Conference is tomorrow and I'm so excited...and so nervous! It'll be my first blogging/blogger event, plus I know about a grand total of...1 person going, haha. But I'm psyched for the line up and the after party at the W Hotel and the workshops on Day 2. I'm excited to get out there and meet new people, especially other fashion/style bloggers! I love making new friends.  Only question now is...what to wear? This is along the lines of what I'm thinking: A skirt in a fun color: Topshop // A neon tee: J. Crew // A fun...

I'm still upset that the 49ers lost by such a small margin - how crazy was the game yesterday? Beyonce's halftime show was amazing though - I literally couldn't take my eyes off her during her performance!  Anyway, I thought I'd do a highlight of Superbowl Sunday! (Almost all photos via my Instagram.) All decked out in my red and gold - luckily, as long as my nails don't chip, the colors work well for Chinese New Year this weekend! haha And up in the top left corner is me and the lovely host of the Superbowl party...
