While flipping through fashion magazines, I frequently run across articles about the perfect silhouettes to flatter various figure types. But I’ve never read about a style that looks good on everyone—especially girls who like to go to events and actually indulge in the food. I’m definitely one of those. I’ve never understood the desire of some women to wear a …

In this video, you’ll get to see what St. John is featuring for spring and pre-fall, have the feel of sitting in the front row of an exclusive designer fashion show, and learn tips from pros on how to find the most flattering outfit.
I’ve admired St. John Knits ever since I was little and met the creator, Marie Gray. She made such a big impression on me that I have always loved her fashions. This year’s spring line is no exception. Here is one of her evening pieces. Marie’s story is an inspiration to anyone with a seemingly impossible dream. If you’d like …
The countdown has begun! It’s officially six days until Valentine’s Day! And if you’re like me, this holiday should be called, “Valentine’s Weekend.” Why limit such a wonderful celebration to just one day? You college students planning for Valentine’s balls might relate to this SOS that I just received: “My boyfriend invited me to his Cupid Ball. Most college events …
It was a gorgeous, sunny day when my friend, Kylee, and I decided to drive to a nearby dock to take pictures. But once we were underway, heavy rainclouds converged upon us and unloaded their bounty. In a bizarre twist of fate, they left the moment we arrived. We were dry for the entire ten minutes that we snapped these …
What I call “non-committal curls” are huge for 2016. Since one of you requested that I discuss this year’s hair trends, I consulted several hair gurus and they all said loose curls are the look. I call them “non-committal” because they can’t seem to decide whether they want to be loose or structured. The effect you’re looking for is effortless, …
Just because I look nothing like this singing sizzler doesn’t mean I don’t like to snatch her style every now and then…at a savings. Wow!

Here are pictures from right before sunset, to nightfall. And the extra walk to my destination meant I passed over this charming bridge. Sweater by Theory from Nordstrom.
After watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, I somehow thought that if I threw on clothes from the store, my physique would resemble Gigi Hadid’s. But that’s so not what happened! I still looked like the average girl. Honestly, though, I think every girl should be happy with the body she was given, so instead of lamenting my lack of …
Yesterday, I overheard someone say that, for her, the holiday season had no sparkle because she was new to the area, wasn’t near her family, and only had a modest income. I wanted to hug her and whisper that none of these factors should cause anyone to miss out on this enchanting season. There are holiday lights, decorated neighborhoods and anyone can …
As the official day of gratitude draws near, I share the sentiment of Henry David Thoreau, “I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.” Top by Current/Elliott from Nordstrom.
I wonder how many couples have passed over this bridge. Before I started dating Tom, we went on a walk and magically happened upon this romantic spot. So for my photo shoot in this Alice + Olivia dress, I went straight to the Love Bridge. What’s your favorite romantic spot?
