Summer in D.C.

The kids are in camp which means endless hours of wandering Georgetown and feeling inspired by all the preppy chic going on in there. I love this set and the shape on these Fendi's is killer.

Color combining

I love color in a wardrobe and especially interesting combinations. I love this Acne sweater with the pop of the Stan Smith's (in men's sizes: look at the Euro size for accurate women's size). These sunglasses are surprisingly flattering too. This is a great everyday that is more interesting than black and grey.

Shades of Grey

I love the look of various tones and textures of grey mixed together. This set looks very French chic. These shoes are a great look for less find. I love this cocoon sweater from Club Monaco. Excellent quality and texture.

j crew mixed resin cuff (I am wearing this constantly)
Club Monaco Erika flats
Club Monaco Wooters and Hendrix earrings

Fall set #8

This set is a perfect L.A. Fall set. The jacket for the mornings, to be shed by the afternoon, to return by the early evening. I love the soft texture of the jacket contrasted with the more utilitarian shoe. You can wear open toe all season long this year in L.A.--looks best with a calf hair or more fall inspired sandal.

This photo of the Isabel Marant store here reminds me of LA fall-the soft light, the changing leaves. Even though the season change is subtle, when you live here long enough you can feel it in your bones.

Tibi Panda motorcycle jacket
Rag and bone striped tee
 Wouters and Hendrix pearl necklace (LOVE!)
3.1 Phillip Lim small east west depeche purse 
Charlotte Stone Luke sandal 
Rick Owens bracelet

Styling for Alt Summit

I have a client and friend who asked me to help style her for the Alt Summit, which is a blogger's conference. Gabrielle has a great, soulful, laugh out loud sort of blog about mothering and life called A Girl Named Gay. She was looking for a forget-me-not, sophisticated look that would make an impression. She gave me permission to share this. Here are some Lookbooks I put together for her to give her some ideas:
