Lately, I've almost been embarrassed to go to work because chances are, I'm wearing this Winter Kate by Nicole Richie Jasmine cardigan. The breezy silk wrap with its feathery print embodies all I desire in a summer wardrobe - flimsy, unstructured pieces that keep you fashionably cool in the heat. I tend to toss it over every outfit, whether it's a tee-and-shorts combo or summery dress, for an instant style boost.

Also, check back here on Saturday for a brand new post as part of Society Stylist's "Little Black Dress Experiment" Tours America. I'll be representing my current hometown, Los Angeles, of course!

FabTV Feature: Sequins!

I recently had the incredible honor of being a part of this FabTV segment, Fashion Flipbook: Sequins Street Style Look of the Day. As I'm a huge fan of FabSugar (and PopSugar, and every other Sugar), I was delighted when I was asked to style and model my own take on sequins alongside the other two fashionistas in the video! Please check it out!

Business casual

One of my coworkers had the idea of starting a mini fashion club at work, and we've come up with designated days when we have to dress according to theme. For example, Mondays are Gossip Girl Mondays. I actually started doing this by myself last fall; in honor of the show's second season, I came to work as Blair Waldorf, decked out in ruffles, tights and a perky headband. Now I look forward to seeing my coworkers dress as Little J or Vanessa! Fridays have been dubbed Fab Fridays, when heels, and of course a fab outfit, are a must. So last Friday, I wore these Jeffrey Campbell platforms to the office and though not as comfortable as my usual workaday flats, they did make the day a bit more interesting.

Fashion clubs--perhaps they're what everyone needs in order to look forward to work in the mornings! That, and some good coffee!

Europe bound!

Thank you everyone for the early birthday wishes! I'll be sure to post pics of my bday outfit when the time comes in early September. It's been so hot lately that I busted out my little blue jumper to wear while exploring L.A. one scorching Sunday. Right now though, I need some info on the weather in two faraway cities...London and Paris!!! If any of my fellow bloggers live over there, please let me know what to pack and where to go shopping because I just received some amazing news. Later this month, I'll be visiting London and Paris for eight days for work reasons! Whenever I get a free moment, I know I'll be sneaking over to Topshop to buy clothes or ducking into a boulangerie to snack on pastries. I can hardly believe I'll be traveling to these two fabulous cities in just a few weeks. It's thrilling!

Packing tips! Shopping recommendations! Anything would be appreciated!!
