IMAGINE BY JOHN LENNON

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You, ..

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You, ..

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Hair Flips and Slip Dresses

Mason by Michelle Mason Slip Dress / Alex Monroe Necklace / Pared Sunnies / Tibi Mules

For some reason, the moment I step off the plane in California, I'm smiling. The sun beating down (I'll take an endless summer), the warmth, it's convincing. A usual sucker for all things neutral, this trip was tempting me to whip out my sunshine colored slip dress. Mason makes one of my favorite silhouettes in the silkiest material with the cleanest keyhole you've ever seen. Easy, minimal, slightly sexy, it's the perfect dress for day to night, spring to late summer. The mini length makes it a great fit with a simple sneaker, or mix things up with a metallic mule. Finished with pale pink sunnies and personal jewelry, you have a look that will be turning heads and frowns upside down.

A Little Rock & Roll

Kiliwatch Paris Vintage Jacket (similar) / Helmut Lang Top / SmithLab Scarf / A Gold E Denim / Tibi Mule

Channeling my love for some 70s rock & roll vibes with this look. The skinny scarf made a comeback thanks to Chloe's FW15 show and it's been knocking on every fashion girl's door since. I'd been endlessly searching for the perfect, thin scarf that was quality made and not a million dollars. I finally found the one via Etsy shop, SmithLab. Quality silk, the perfect length and width, this scarf will last me a life time. I added it to this beautiful threadbare tunic, distressed (and super soft I might add) jeans, and a classic mule. It was freezing when taking these shots so the fur was necessary and also happened to be the perfect finishing touch to this 70s rock comeback look.

(red) white and blue

J.Crew Bomber Jacket (similar) and Shorts / Target Tee / Tibi Mules (similar) / Outlette Necklace and Rings  / Vintage Rings

Happy (almost) Fourth of July! The quintessential colors of the holiday are in constant rotation in my wardrobe (mostly blue and white with an occasional pop of red). These colors no matter how combined are classic, chic, and eternally in style. I went mostly white today with a dash of blue. Totally digging the sporty vibes coming out of J.Crew lately, I created a look that was basketball meets baseball meets tennis. Baseball striped jacket, clean white tee, slinky piped basketball shorts and a complete "tennis whites" feel. Elevated with a metallic blue mule, the outfit rounds out both sporty and chic. How do you wear your "Americana" colors?

Powersuit Revamp

Vintage YSL Blazer via The Bargain District / Target Basic Tee / Vintage Levi's Cutoffs / Tibi Slingbacks (similar) / Outlette Necklace and Rings 

Revamp your 80s power suit. This vintage YSL blazer caught my eye immediately with its boxy shape, pinstripe, and pristine tailoring. But when working it into an outfit, I had to take extra care to keep it from looking dated. I tamed the shoulderpad-bearing jacket by pairing it with a simple, white tee and vintage Levi's cutoffs. The more casual vibe of the top and shorts modernize the blazer while letting it be the focal point of the outfit. Pair the whole look with a simple sneaker or fun heel for a more streetstyle look. Shop the links above to get the exact blazer and more :)

That Brooklyn Denim Vibe

Collarless Vest / Vintage Oversized Shirt / Vintage Tommy Hilfiger Jeans / Tibi Mules

Another title for this look might've been Denim on Denim: Part II. A little more risky than my first look but worth it for anyone who's willing to try! This also plays a bit into my love for oversized. I take a crisp but oversized button down and cool it up with a collarless denim vest. This also tames the larger feel of the shirt and pairs perfectly with a straight boyfriend jean. With a clean cuff and structural mules, I elevate the look for a new take on denim on denim.

New Military

Gryphon Jacket (here or here) / JCrew Top (almost identical) / Zara Pants (almost identical) / Tibi Mules

The military trend always seems to stick around but morphs into different interpretations. We had little surges of the anorak and camo, and now, a more literal and structural military inspiration has come to the runways and the street. In clean lines and silhouettes with a touch of hardware, it's a fresh take on military, utility, and minimalism.

I snagged this jacket at a Gryphon sample sale and have been unable to find anything like it since! The "tails" if you will, straps on the cuff, and metals swept me off my feet. Paired with neutrals and sharper silhouettes, I completed this "new military" look. While I couldn't snag you my jacket, check out some others that are right up that alley above!

Falling for Fringe

[gallery type="rectangular" ids="1818,1819,1820,1823,1822,1821,1824"]

Raquel Allegra Dress / Tibi Slingbacks / Gorjana, Ariel Gordon, Jennifer Zeuner, Vintage Rings

Ever since the Western revival via Chanel's Dallas show, I have been utterly obsessed with fringe. And I am LOVING how each designer/brand has brought its own interpretation to the trend. This Raquel Allegra piece is a perfect play on the classic tshirt dress. Wonderfully minimal and versatile with a pop of stringy goodness. I amped it up a bit by naturally pairing fringe with fringe. The thick fringe detailing on these structural Tibi heels is everything! Whether you take it in more of a western direction like I did HERE or a bit more minimal like above, you'll be swinging in the right direction ;)

Overalls: City Edition

Forever 21 Button Down / Blank Denim Overalls / Tibi Mules / Vintage and Urban Outfitters Rings

The onesie trend continues but in overall form. While overalls may bring back memories of sandboxes and Tonka trucks, you can style them in an updated fashion. I love to style mine with a crop top, striped tee, lace top, or button down like above. Pairing them with a fun heel or quirky sneaker elevates the outfit from turning too kiddy or farmhand. I'm not going to go on my usual rant about how anyone can wear them as they flatter more straight and boyish body types, but that doesn't mean you can't try them on!
