Wearing Gucci summer '16

Robe

Robe - Reformation, Belt - Gucci, 

Denim - Vetements, Heels - Gucci

Thank you Reformation for designing a robe that's appropriate for public schlepping. Opted for heels even though my alter-ego screamed, "Wear your Gucci slippers!" Maybe next time. xo

Animalier

Sunglasses - Gucci, Top - Vetements, Bag - Gucci,

Denim - Vetements, Heels - Gucci

REALLY into color lately. Something that evoked discomfort in the past has easily become my first choice when making a purchase. And I don't discriminate. My closet has transformed from black, white, and grey, to every color in the spectrum. Makes me happy. xo

Rose

Necklace - Roberto Coin, Top - Reformation,

Skirt - Vetements,  Belt - Gucci

Denim mini — check. Cami top — check check. I'm jelly sandals away from evoking full blown 90's vibes. Styled with Gucci loafers to freshen things up a bit. xo

Silk

Jewelry - Native Fox x Mejuri, Dress - Reformation, 

Bag - Gucci, Shoes - Céline

Lounging in some of the silk stock that I purchased from Reformation last month. Count on the weekly "I just rolled out wearing my nighty" look to justify that hit on my American Express. Styled with Céline sneakers and pieces from my collaboration with Mejuri. xo

Jacket - Reformation, Bag - Gucci, Cami - Reformation, 

Belt - Gucci, Denim - Vetements, Pumps - Gucci

Pulled together a few shots of this look I wore in NY. Probably my favorite Reformation piece to date. Have you checked out their outdoor lingerie collection? It's really really good. Stocked up on enough silk to last a lifetime. xo

Smith

Sunglasses - Ray-Ban, Bag - Gucci, 

Dress - Solace London, Mules - Gucci

Semi-sheer dress with built-in goody blockers? I think so. Generally steer clear of this style because I don't want to fuss with what I'm going to style under it. Solace London nailed it with a few different options from their Tome 9 collection. Give them a go if that's your jam. xo

Faux Fur - Reformation, Bag - Gucci, Tank - Trois,

Denim - Vetements, Heels - Céline

Reformation faux furs are my new jam! I've been throwing this chocolate teddy bear style over everything this winter. My styling trick with faux fur is always order a few sizes up. Love the borrowed from my boyfriend vibe it gives off. Reformation's got a sweet selection to choose from this season. Recommend. xo

Sunglasses - Ray-Ban, Choker - Balenciaga, Dress - Gucci, 

Bag - Dior, Boots - Proenza Schouler

Trouble trouble trouble at the Desert Hills outlets in Cabazon. Picked up this Gucci dress from winter '14 and was hoping for some Alessandro but no such luck (yet). Can't stop obsessing over everything Gucci since he's taken the reins (especially men's RTW). His use of lace, embroidery, and the prints! are a few of my favorites. The costume jewelry is just wow. All of it. I'm hooked. xo

Have such a love/hate relationship with long hair. Love having it but hate wearing it down. I've resorted to braids and high ponytails so I don't have to fuss with it. My hair stylist is really creative at interpreting the inspiration that I bring to her. Never looks like the original and I always love it more! xo

Soho

(Glasses - Prada, Jumpsuit - Sonia Rykiel, 

Bag - Celine, Slippers - Gucci)

After Rag & Bone searching for a good meal after an (unintentional) fashion fast. Shout to these street slippers that got me around and saved my feet this season. Oddly, I always find that flats do more damage than heels. I've been told that it's the shape of my feet (possible relative to sasquatch) but I think designer flats suck in general comfort wise. Perhaps it's a fluke but I'm eager to see what Gucci comes up with next. xo

Pourpre

Clutch - Givenchy, Trousers - Cushnie Et Ochs, Sandals - Saint Laurent)

Gave this muted shade of purple a whirl on Sunday for an oceanside dinner. Color generally evokes discomfort in terms of clothing, but there's something about purple that I find extremely peaceful (and tasty). I mean, who doesn't love grape candy? xo
