CIMG4618

With Coachella almost halfway over (yiiiikes), we made an extra effort to jump our of bed for Day Two.  We hit The Riviera pool party/Bikini Bar, snagged some chaise lounges, ordered a round of drinks and started soaking in the rays.  The pool was littered with stylish festival-goers.  Beach balls floated in the water, and … Read more

Versace for H&M

To be honest, when I first saw the promotional photos for this collection, I wasn’t thrilled. I’ve never been the biggest fan of Versace to begin with — it’s just not my style — and aside from a few of the more simple, muted pieces, I couldn’t really picture myself buying and wearing this collection. … Read more

Classic White

Lately there have been a lot of posts about ways to wear a white button down shirt. I just so happened to wear a white button down on the day that several such articles came out, so I figured, why not take advantage of that theme and do a style post of my own? This … Read more
