Opening Ceremony meets Pendleton dress, Chloe docs, Nordstrom over-the-knee socks, gifted Coach Classics x Net-a-Porter Stewardess bag (so obsessed)

Despite doing a fair amount of online shopping while I was on bed-rest (in the comfort of my undies), now that I actually have to put on real-people clothes again, I find myself continually reaching for this tent dress. Every girl needs a good tent for when you have to wear fabric, but would really rather be naked. Preferably one with built in style like these excess frills that give the appearance that I put in a modicum of effort. Plus, tents don’t irritate my healing scar like all my tighter options. Definitely a keeper. And the knee-highs? Always a favorite but the real truth is I haven’t waxed my legs since the Dark Ages… hey, you you’d be a bit fuzzy if you’d been cooped up for a month too! The highs and lows of social constructs. The shoes however did take some effort to lace up… baby steps. Next week I think I’ll tackle separates again… and maybe a little body hair removal, too. Maybe.

In other news, I’m moving into a cute new apartment this week (Silverlake – Insert your hipster joke here then meet me at Intelligentsia and say it to my face!) which means eyeing design blogs and forcing myself to get rid of all the clothes/shoes/etc. I’ve been hoarding. Watch this space for a mini virtual yard sale soon!

Editor of Nylon Daily! I’m writing about my favorite spots in L.A, trying out new ones and putting the local haps (sales and events) on blast in the regional newsletter.

This is just one in a growing list of freelance projects and a fun one at that. I might re-post some of my favorites here from time to time, but you’ll have to sign up to get a daily dose! And if you’re not in LA – Nylon Daily has editions in NYC, Boston, Austin and Chi-town (with more cities to come). A few of the places I’ve written about so far below the cut and sign up at nylonmag.com/daily!

From experience I can say a R29 sale is not to be missed. Amazing clothes for a steal. A good portion of my favorites have come from their NY Save Fashion sales. Welcome to L.A. Refinery 29!

Beach Day: vintage dress worn as top, shortalls by Grey Ant, ring by Bijules, Balenciaga wedges

I spent most of last week stuck indoors sick (apparently I threw my body into shock by attempting to start a multivitamin regimen – no joke), so first day back to health we stopped by the beach. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling much better now that it’s warming up enough to show some – or a lot of – leg. I’m finally peeking out of my Fall/Winter cocoon (which is admittedly mostly mental, since I am in LA…) and I am soo excited for summer.

And of course I didn’t ruin my babes (aka shoes) in the sand. I only had them on for a minute, and the sand shakes right off.
