BASICS

I had the strongest urge to channel my inner school girl with some great basics. The black blazer and a white button down. They are great to mix and match with to create different looks and it's a definite closet essential. They're easy to dress up or down with a quick change of bottoms and accessories, and now THAT is what you call a great set of basics.

BLACK LEATHER

Faux or not, black leather is without a doubt one of my guilty pleasures. Sure, the other colors are great but I always gravitate towards "the black."  I'm quite positive that I'm not alone on this particular desire for more leather and more black. I tend to incorporate leather in any look as much as I can to give that edgy flare that I endlessly adore.

It was a chilly day and I consciously put together this black number with an edgy outlook in mind. I had an urge to wear my oversized men's sweater, so like usual everything HAD to revolve around that one piece of clothing. Derived from that urge, is what we call one of my favorite comfort looks. Not bad right?

CASUALLY COMFORTABLE

Bi-polar weather in California calls for warm and cold weather essentials at your disposal for a quick change. 90 degree blistering heat one week, to odd windy chills the next. With mother nature having a personality of her own, it's only appropriate to be ready for anything.

One of my favorite looks is a great casual one that is comfortable and chic. And sneakers are an ultimate comfort go-to of mine. A fresh white pair could be paired with practically anything, and I do mean ANYTHING! We've seen countless examples in editorials, runway, and street style looks for quite some time now and I think it's safe to say that everyone is on board with "the sneaks."

I absolutely adore it.

DRESSY x EDGY x CASUAL

Dressy, edgy & casual are three wildly different style characteristics that are fantastic on its own, yet it's hardly worn together. Why is that? Making the three gel together like glue could be tricky but definitely not unbearable. One of my favorite ways to add a casual element is the basic white tee. It's simple and yet you can dress it up or dress it down and make it cohesive. Typically, I roll the sleeves to add that extra something to elevate the look.

SLOUCHY SLACKS

There's something about menswear that will always appeal to me. It's this undeniable desire to dress like a man that will always tickle me. It's an easy way to express myself for that day and what better way to do that than to wear a perfect pair of slouchy slacks and oxfords.

SHORT SUIT & OXFORDS

The other day I decided to do a well needed spring cleaning and in the process I found some great gems. I discovered a variety of great finds, such as, short and pant over-alls, beachwear, and some fabulous belts. Belts that my mom wore in the 80s and this in particular was a real delight. Black and white with leather and fur, and silver hardware. I believe that, that alone was enough said. It's one of those universal belts that could be paired with practically ANYTHING! This piece quickly became my frequent go-to, to add a touch of texture and character to an ordinary look.
