Veronica Beard

I’ve been scrolling through the internet trying to find the perfect blazer to add to my collection. As some of you know, one of my favorite brands is Veronica Beard. After browsing their site, I knew I needed to highlight some of my favorite items for all of you. Specifically their dresses and blazers! They have a great selection from strong blazers to flirty dresses. There is something for ever woman’s mood. Also, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to bring back my Shop Watch series.

Today we are exploring gorgeous outfits to wear to a botanical garden. It’s getting to the point that I need to dream again! That being said I created “All Dressed Up and Nowhere to go”. Together we can dream about fashion and travel! I think we could all use a bit of inspiration and visual fun right now. I may not be purchasing like I used to but I’m still looking at all of the spring/summer fashion online.  I’m dying for spring-summer fashion and all of the pieces are starting to get released online. I chose botanical gardens since I have been seeing stunning photos lately online. The cover image is at The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens but there are so many amazing places out there. For the fashion aspect, I chose to create dressier outfits that are perfect for dreaming about!

Get ready for the warmer weather with spring-summer denim! We may not be able to go anywhere but we can look stylish at home! Denim is such a year-round closet staple. Denim is a closet staple and is the best thing to throw on when you get sick of sweats.  Jeans, shorts, skirts, tops, jackets – you name it! Everyone’s closet needs a fresh update for the new season or some inspiration for what to wear. Get ready to drool over these stunning styles.

Over the summer in Europe, I saw crossbody bags EVERYWHERE. It was like everyone I saw had a super stylish small crossbody bag meanwhile, I was carrying around a lightweight spacious tote bag everywhere. There was also a ton of people with fashionable belt bags around their chests. Through my research, I found a couple of styles that can be worn that way but are a bit more elevated looking.

There is nothing better than finding the best loafers. I just splurged and bought these embroidered Gucci loafers. I needed something with a heel that was comfortable casual yet chic. I love the fun bee pattern that adds some whimsey while still being sophisticated. The perfect loafer is out there for you! Here is a round-up of some of the best loafers on the market right now.

What better way to prep for the winter season by covering all of the best puffer coat styles? Puffer coats have been in season for a while – but this year they are huge. The shorter style is perfect for throwing on anytime while the longer styles will keep you toasty in colder climates. I found so many incredible styles I can’t wait to share with you – from classic to wilder styles I cover it all. Check out the everyday influencers wearing fab puffer coats at Chirpyest Instagram too for even more real life inspiration.

New Year’s Eve is on my mind! I have been thinking about what I will wear this year to ring in the new year and found myself shopping at Maje. I found the perfect glitter + sequin look. Here in Beverly Hills at Intermix, I also have seen some great pieces. Throughout my shopping trip, I found so many incredible dresses, pants, and jumpsuits that are full of sparkle. With sparkle on my mind, it’s like I see it everywhere I go. In-person – online you name it, my eye is catching all of the glittery pieces perfect for new years.

Finally, we got a bit of rain here in Southern California this week. It is a good thing it rained because mid calf black boots have been on my mind for weeks. My fall/winter wardrobe is in major need of an upgrade this season. The rain is the perfect excuse! Right?One of the biggest categories that needs help is the footwear department. I’m a huge fan of boots. I can never have enough + they look good pre-pall – spring. Anyways… I’ve been doing some research and found a ton of incredible Mid Calf Black Boots that I can’t wait to share with you.

Halloween is here and I am not thinking about costumes…I have sweaters are on my mind – today is all about the top 25 sweaters of the season! We are covering wool, cashmere, cable knit, cardigan, and fair isle sweaters. From low end to a max of $500 these sweaters will look amazing and last. I already am planning which of them I’m going to purchase for myself!

It is that time of year. My absolute favorite fashion season: Pre-Fall. Pre-Fall style is the magical in-between of summer and fall. Even though it is Labor Day today and it feels like summer is over, we still have a few more weeks officially of summer. So it is time for Pre-Fall!! It’s all of the fun of fall fashion without worrying about the cold. Living in California I end up wearing pre-fall much longer than it’s intended to. I couldn’t wait to start browsing this year’s pre-fall collections. And, this season didn’t disappoint.

I can’t help it! I’m a dress girl at heart. Nothing makes me feel more confident and put together than a breathtaking dress. Clothes have such transformative power! Lately, I have been spotting so many Ulla Johnson dresses out and about. I’m a huge fan of the brand and a handful of my favorite dress are hers. If your closet is in need of a mid-summer pick-me-up a Ulla dress is the answer.

Ah, Summer the best season. The perfect time for vacation, road trips, extra time spent at the beach, and eating outside. As we are in the last stretch of summer, with nice warm August weather, summer fashion proves to be a never-ending struggle. Trying to dress stylishly without sweating can be almost impossible. While throwing on a pair of denim shorts and a t-shirt is simple, it doesn’t work for many occasions. Here is a guide for how to survive a summer heatwave while looking sensational whether you are meeting a friend for dinner or traveling through Europe! 

Looking for the perfect summer dress is no easy task. Before I left for East Hampton to visit a close friend, I looked everywhere for a dress. It needed to work for a weekend in the sun. The moment I spotted this Maje dress I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. 

This winter I am recommending blue. Dark blue dresses that is.

I was considering these three dark blue dresses for my sister’s midday wedding in October. I like navy or dark blue. Give me a break from black but has the same richness. And wintertime really highlights a deep blue.

As sister of the bride, I ended up going with the more festive off the shoulder dress by Roland Mouret! It was so comfortable yet special. Which of these 3 dresses I was considering for my sister’s wedding you favorite?

Happy November 1st. We are two months away from the New Year! OMG.  I don’t know about you, but here in Southern California, during early crisp mornings as I’m heading to work, I put on the perfect fall outfit and by lunchtime when the sun’s come out and it is 85 degrees, that cute fall outfit that was once a fashionistas dream is a little less climate appropriate. By evening, the wind is making me glad again I brought that extra sweater. That’s why I believe in layering and dressing for whatever temperature fall throws your way…no matter where you are in the country or outside of the country. Layer, layer, layer is the answer.

Here are my current favorite fashion forward fall looks for when it’s warm in the day and cooler at night.
