I've shopped on Zappos plenty over the past few years because, helloooo fast free shipping and basically the best return policy in the biz, so I jumped at the opportunity to work with them on a Hudson x Zappos collaboration. I picked out the Nico Midrise in "Hardlines" and was super into the wash and fit of these jeans. I'm a denim girl (obviously) so I love trying different brands and fits. These did not disappoint. Although it's still 90 degrees in LA (what??!) I pretended it felt like fall and paired the jeans with a leather jacket, silk blouse and favorite ankle boots. Hopefully it'll cool down enough soon to actually be able to wear this.

If you've been watching my insta stories you'll know I've been in NYC for work the past few weeks. It's actually been feeling like fall the past couple days here!! V excited because not only does that mean sweater weather and pumpkin spice errythang, it means BOOT SEASON. Yes, I pretty much wear boots year round as it is but let me introduce you to my new wool lined favorites. The UGG McKay, part of their "classic street" collection. The same slip on fuzzy comfort of the og UGG boot in an updated, streamlined shape. Scroll through to see how I styled the McKay (in black obvi,) check out Rosie Huntington Whitley in the cute campaign video and shop this look!

Been pretending it's fall in LA and miiiight be trying to layer already. I should name this post "when your boyfriend is your style 'spo." He's been rocking docs recently so I decided I was going to try a pair as well. Although the chunkiness takes some getting used to, they are seriously the comfiest boots ever. Yes they look hella punk when paired with leather and a band tee BUT I'm most stoked to wear them with skirts and dresses. I also recently styled them in a teen vogue-esque party editorial to tomboy up a ballet pink pleated skirt and was super stoked on how it added instant cool to an otherwise girly look. I'm gonna go ahead and say these boots are a fall must have. 

Hacked off hems (DIY'd) and little chain bags: these are few of my favorite things. For the longest time I hated little cross body bags. I couldn't see a point in carrying a bag that couldn't fit my camera and an outfit change. Over the past year or so I found a new appreciation for little leather zip ups (I carry my saint laurent mini duffle almost daily.) They're the best for evening activities because let's be real: no one at the bar likes getting bumped by someones massive tote. Also on a side note: 98% of my denim now has a raw hem. The easiest DIY ever - literally cut the bottom hem off at the desired point (few inches up for a cute crop) and through them in the wash. Viola! Your old skinnies has some new tattered flare. 

Summer weather is inevitable. Although I'm not switching to little tank dresses and short short just yet, I am taking into account the warmer months ahead while shopping. I bought this little button up tee blouse from All Saints last summer and have to admit that it's one of the most worn tops in my closet since then. The roomier fit let's you keep things breezy May through September with minimal sweat stains. I also love that it can easily be dressed down for daytime or zooshed up for dinner.
