Well, if last few days didn’t get me in the mood for summer, I don’t know what will. Laying out in vineyards, surrounded by some seriously fun and fabulous people, sipping wine in the middle of the day, and talking about spending weekends on the shore this summer…. it’s no wonder my mind is ready [...]
I like to refresh my makeup cabinet every season with just a few essentials (its also a good excuse to clean out old stuff), but how’s a girl to know what to buy if her head isn’t constantly submerged in the beauty world 24/7? I decided it was time I did a little research and [...]
Alyssa I’m loving all of this! I’m thinking I’ll rock tan skin and some blue subtle eyes for an event this weekend!
Also, love how you edited the look above!

YOLONDA Gorgeous makeup! Love it all put together on the last model!
michaela Love the bright pink lip and the all natural look. So perfect for summer!
FripperyVintage Love the way you break it down and then put it all together. Makes it super easy.
Whitney I love the bold brow look! I wish I could rock it—but with blonde hair and really light brows, it just looks too intense on me. I’ve been using Pixi’s natural brow duo from Target to make them stand out a bit but look natural, and I really like it.
Cecilia I like the nude a lot! The blue eyes I don’t think I could handle.
Franki I wear bronze polish..on my toes…all the time. Absolutely adore that blue around the eye…makes the white (minus a nite drinking) really stand out!! franki

Whenever I pack for LA, it reminds me of how much I appreciate casual west coast style – and how much I miss weekends walking down to the beach or strolling Abbot Kinney where I used to live. Well, today, I’m hoppin’ a flight to my former city, and day dreaming about the contents of [...]
Jennifer You picked a great weekend to hit LA! It’s been sort of blah all week (rain and wind…not to mention fires) but this weekend looks like it is going to be gorgeous! (Last weekend was terrible). Hope you have a great trip!
Archana | my SoCal'd life Love the round-up, especially that wonderful tote! I just moved to San Diego from New York and am in the process of editing my closet to look a little more SoCal. Tote bags and chambray have actually been two of my first purchases since moving!
I talk a bit about the sartorial transition here: http://mysocaldlife.com/inspired-by-california-fashion/

Franki Ms. LA Rocker!! franki
Molly {Dreams in HD} such a perfect outfit for LA!
Meg {MilkandCotton} LOVE that romper!
meg Love the chevron clutch. 
barbara meyers All is divine except that romper/jumpsuit.
Kacie I seriously need that romper… I don’t know why but I’m a total sucker for them. I hope they never go out of style!
Kacie
Andiperullo@aol.com What a fabulous look!
Time for another round of my favorite matchup game with some goodies I’ve discovered on pinterest recently where art and some pretty cool pieces have collided… I don’t mind a little rock collecting, but let’s be honest here – what girl wouldn’t want to be showered in gems on a daily basis!? Traditional woven wall hangings [...]
Karen Albert Cassandra it is so fun to play on Pinterest! Not enough hours in the day! Great catches!

Molly {Dreams in HD} love the art and pillow!
meg Love the “Blocked” set!
I feel like you could recreate this artwork onyour own.
FripperyVintage Love that shower curtain so cute!
While I’d really prefer not to think about coats for a single second until September… I gotta say this high-contrast oversized blazer style has me kinda hyped for all the possibilities. Love the way the navy hits with jeans or those fabulous high-waisted shorts. The combo feels so fresh for spring, but will totally go right [...]
Sophie ah i love them! need them in both colours! and im also obsessed with both the pairs of shoes shes wearing! especially those boots. they are sensational!
Bangbangblond Very Class…. Elegant ! Coat/Blazer love it !
Natalie These coats are adorable – and such a great price! I’m a little worried about the one-size-fits-all though…
Cassandra LaValle Post author i’m with you on that – but considering the price, i’d be willing to throw in a little more for alterations!
Cecilia I love the blue and white version. What a great find!!!
Tiffany @ Triple Crème Decadence Simple, but elegant. I really enjoy the color blocking!
Victoria I’m in love. The blue and white version is stunning, and looks even better with the matching shorts and top!
I feel like the blue color is more versatile, whilst the green one requires more coordination with the other items in the look, and can’t be pulled over anything when it’s a bit cold outside
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures I am so buying one!
Carissa Love how classic this looks!
xx
Carissa
dervla oooh i kind of love it too. perfect for a spring evening.
Katie Contests I like the scorpion ring holder! I’m a Scorpio 
Tonight, I’m popping by a little event here in Seattle celebrating the new collection from Akris – a label that I haven’t really kept up on as of late. So, I decided a little research was in order… and was pleasantly surprised to discover that amongst some of their more classic blazers and pants were [...]
erika ~TiptoeButterfly~ wow – love the collection
Franki On the right bod…beautiful!! franki
On an average day, I’m a jeans and tee kinda girl – usually black jeans and a grey v-neck, pumped up by some edgier accessories. So, I’ve decided it’s about time I kick up the jewelry collection a bit with some pieces that add a bit more badass to the simple equation. Here are some [...]
Sammy Those fish bone earrings…… oh, do I need those!
bri great finds! i’m in desperate need to kick my accessories up a notch so this is perfect!
Katie I am a huge fan of thevamoose. I have a necklace from there that I just love. Great choice!
FripperyVintage Love these! I have some great geometric design vintage jewelry on my site!
Quinn Cooper Have been eyeing those fish earrings for about two years, maybe this is the time to actually go ahead and purchase them. I love them so much!
Andiperullo@aol.com Ahhhh I have to have #4!
Meli If anyone gets the fish earrings, buy them on the Outnet for 50% off.
Cassandra LaValle Post author great tip! just changed the link (gotta love a good deal!)
meg I think my favorite is the cube nekclace. Love the little accent of gold.
life is in the details. style accordingly.
This S&L baskets have been on my wishlist for awhile…I need to just go ahead and get them!
The baskets are divine would love to fill them with rolled up foutas for the pool.
Love those cute sandals.
Loving those baskets and the sandals! Perfect for summertime.

That dress is fantastic! Great whites
Serene yet stylish collection. I’m obsessed with that coral-inspired chandelier!

Love the Diallo Coral Chandelier in White – truly stunning in person and perfectly fits that serene absence of color you mention, while also giving huge design impact with it’s irregular form. Love , love , love it!!!
I love whites. Great collection here!
I could not love that jcrew bracelet any more.
