Get thee to a beach immediately.

SPRINGSONGS

we are living in the memory of our future selves. Let's make it a good one.

G A P

Is there anything better than spending time with some of your favorite people in the world (Geri + Jazzi) at a beautiful house on a sunny day? Don't think so. Thanks to Gap + Leaf.tv I got to do just that. As part of Gap's Styld.by campaign we got to dress up in some amazingly bright! spring pieces from the Gap Collection.

Be sure to check out the collection and see more styles here

Overalls.

I'm calling it (Again)! Overalls are going to be big for Spring. But this season we will see more skirt overalls, prints, drop crotch, design inspired etc. These bad boys will be hitting boutiques everywhere and will be coming to festivals near you.

Thoughts? Emotions?

Literally the P E R F E C T transitional boot for Spring. Neeeeeed.

(SPRING) Jams

Pinched Cheeks.

As Spring moves on in and the spray tans emerge like an army from the Hollywood Hills, it's time to change up your seasonal colors. BLUSH is huge for S/S and it really does look great on everyone! Perfectly paired with other neutrals {browns, beiges, grays} and/or gem tones {navy, dark greens, blue/black etc.}.

Sister Jane Velvet Collar Frill Hem Dress

+ASOS sunnies

+Dolce Vita Bagley T Strap Sandals

+Acne Rita suede aviator jacket

the raised hem.

Let's all welcome with open arms, the raised hem! A few seasons ago minis were all the rage, then maxis were er'ywhere, and now their ultimate love child, the raised hem mixi ( and yes I made that word up.) . Part mini. Part Maxi. Look out Spring!

Not over yet.

It's not quite the end of winter here in LA but it's also not quite the beginning of Spring, therefore it's the best time to invest in those pieces that can work for both seasons like this lush mint green chiffon dress by TIBI.

Paired with: +A classic black leather belt from Forever 21

+Classic strappy black heels from Michael Kors

+ Faux leather jacket from Romwe (a total steal at less than $80!)

+The amazing Wayuu taya bag that go to benefit Wayuu indigenous women providing them with health centers and education!

Layered.

I have a hunch these maxi layered dresses are going to start springing up for errr Spring. This particular one from Holy Tee is pretty adorable and when paired with an ombré (YES ombré) leather jacket from ACNE you can't really go wrong.

+HOLY TEE Mystic tiered silk and jersey maxi dress

+CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA Carmen canvas and rope wedge pumps

+Woven Boston Bag (Under $30!)

+ACNE Macy ombré leather biker jacket

+SATOMI KAWAKITA /BLACK DIAMOND SOLITAIRE RING
