Cutest Rain boots ever

Today it was a little rainy here in LA. This is a special occasion! I raced to my closet to put on my Aigle rain boots. I love the chance to break them out (even if it is light ocean mist)--those of you in Seattle like Stephmodo must live in them! Here are some Loeffler Randall boots to up your rainy day look: No one else will have these bad boys at preschool drop-off!

Here are some gorg French rain boots (those of you who live in a rainy place can put this under your "investment" category!

Saturday Casual


I am getting a lot of milage out of this Forever 21 shirt.  This is Saturday casual--basketball game and low key date night. Joes colored jeans (in deep teal), moto boots, Hermes(inspired!)cuff--a gift from a friend--and clutch to hold cell phone, credit card and camera. 
These boots are Sam Edelman Moto boots from last year

If you buy one tote this spring...

I look at a lot of bags. Lots and lots of bags! Here is my favorite tote for the season. The tote is an investment that you will have for years to come. It is perfect for everyday because you can fit everything you need in it. For my work I need to have an ipad at all times, a camera and my ideas notebook. It is big enough but not overwhelming or heavy. Done and done!

This is a picture of my neighbor and friend Krista Ewart who is dripping with style and taste. She is an incredible interior designer. Read more about her here. We ran into each other at the gym and I told her that she needed to own the Forever 21 dotted jeans. We raced over and while we were there...more treasures!!! We really scoped the place, recognized that so many things must all be made in the same factory in China whether you are paying $200 or $20 because they look identical. All the more reason to buy some pieces on the cheap: Cheap and Chic that is!
Gorgeous!!!

Here is a shot of both of us in the Forever 21 ensemble.  Secrets out! We love this place (but only a dash here and a dash there).

Happy all for under $100!
