Mother May I

Screenshot

Yesterday, before meeting a friend at La Scala for lunch, I stopped into the new Mother Denim store in Beverly Hills. It’s so nice to finally be able to try on all of their jeans in one place! I really liked the Boone Twist jeans (above and below), Hustler Roller Sneak, and Reifler. A few other things that caught my eye were these evil eye socksmulticolor sweater, and denim jacket.

Lastly, I stopped into J.Crew to pick up a few things for a last-minute trip. I bought these color block pants, which are majorly on sale, and plan on wearing them with this Ann Mashburn button-down for one of our evenings out. I also tried on the new Tiny Rollneckcashmere V-neck, and cropped bomber. All super cute!

Tiny List

It’s been sweltering in Los Angeles, but that’s not stopping me from shopping for a few new fall pieces. First on my list is this new cotton Tiny Rollneck that just dropped at J.Crew. It couldn’t be any cuter.

Next up is a new pair of ballet flats. This season, the classic ballet flat has gotten a little update, sitting slightly higher on the foot for more of an opera shoe look. Mansur Gavriel and Jamie Haller both designed a great pair. Fringe is also high on my list. I already bought these black fringe pants, but I’d love to add a fringe jacket too.

Lastly, a polished pair of utility pants feels like a fall must-have, and I really like these. Along with a more casual pair like these from Amo.

And on a completely separate note, for all of you foodies, I had such a nice dinner at Bacetti this week. Definitely add it to your list!

Wednesday Wish List

I stopped by Reformation to pick up a dress for my daughter and ended up finding this incredibly flattering two piece set. It looks great worn together, but each piece is just as versatile on its own.

I also picked up the perfect white button down from Ann Mashburn, which I plan to wear with these fringe Posse black pants that are now 40% off.

Another favorite find was this flattering cotton wrap skirt that will pair perfectly with a simple cotton tee for the rest of summer.

Finally, Alex Mill just dropped its August collection, and I’m especially loving the Chiltern Waxed Canvas jacket. If you’re looking for a similar style at a lower price point, J.Crew has a great alternative.

Have a great day everyone!

Weekend Recap

It was a fun weekend filled with good food, a little shopping, and some time outdoors. I had a spontaneous dinner at Steak 48 on Friday. They know how to do a good martini, filet, shrimp cocktail, and baked potato. I wore my new Anine Bing slip dress (love!) with a Dôen cardigan. On Saturday, I spent the day in Malibu and Topanga. We started the morning with a hike at Solstice Canyon. It’s one of my favorite hikes in Malibu and a great way to spend a Saturday morning. I wore my new Alo flare leggings and a long-sleeve Lululemon top. Afterward, I threw on a Buck Mason button-down over my leggings and stopped by Cross Creek Ranch for a really nice lunch at Pura Vida before heading to Topanga for a little shopping. Moona Star is one of my favorite stores in Topanga. The boutique is filled with beautiful, unique pieces made by women artisans from around the world. I rushed home from Malibu to meet friends for dinner at Matu. I wore my T Line button-down with TWP trousers for dinner. Lastly, it was Sunday morning yoga, farmer’s market, and a family dinner. I wore Brochu Walker shirt dress with flip flops. Have a great week everyone!
