Summer is almost here and I'm woefully unprepared. Luckily, I found & Other Stories and these pretty pieces caught my eye. I'm really digging the porcelain print jumpsuit. It's so freaking perfect.

Her Style
Thursday, January 8
Rima Vaidila is a self-proclaimed cool girl with a minimalist style that I just adore. She's the blogger behind Fire on the Head and her What I Wore posts spotlight the no-fuss fashion staples that have become my uniform at the office: skinnies, booties and some kind of drapey sweater. For more style inspiration take a look at her site. You'll be scrolling for days.
Need Supply Co.
Wednesday, January 7
When temps reached 85 degrees in LA yesterday, I said a mental goodbye to my heavier coats and sweaters. I wallowed in sadness for a bit, but I perked up when I saw Need Supply Co.'s Pre-Spring 2015 lookbook. The color palette is perfection, and I love the simplicity and how transitional the pieces are. Also, the Benson dress is sweet and the Triangle Midi Dolman dress is amazing with its open back. So, ok, I'm starting to get excited for spring.
Fine Life Company
Tuesday, November 4
Last week, I was reblogging and liking lots of photos on Tumblr and saw a couple from Fine Life Company
floating around. Curious, I clicked on the link and immediately oohed
and aahed over pretty things that would make perfect gifts for the fast
approaching holiday season.
What makes Fine Life Company unique? Store owner Emily Benziger curates new, found and made goods that follow Made in the USA and Fair Trade practices. I was so happy to see her feature products from some of my favorite brands like Apolis and Considerthewldflwrs.
This site will be one of my go-to places, not just for holiday shopping, but for year-round shopping. Can't wait to check out Emily's new finds in the next few weeks. For now, these apothecary products - this, this and this - are callin' my name.
CORRECTION: In an earlier post, I mistakenly called Fine Life Company, Fine Line Company. My apologies to Emily. I vow to never blog past midnight.

United By Blue
Thursday, October 9
There's so much goodness in United By Blue. The outdoor apparel brand and coffeehouse has the comfiest shirts AND the best mission, which is to heal the ocean. For every product that's sold, the Philadelphia-based business removes one pound of trash from oceans and waterways via company-organized and hosted cleanups. Fantastic, right?
Since 2010, UBB has gathered more than 4,000 volunteers together to pick up plastic bottles, tires, cans, and appliances from rivers, streams, creaks and beaches across 21 U.S. states. More than 180,000 pounds of trash has been removed. To get involved in the #bluemovement, go here. In the meantime, I'm going to splurge a little and get the Harriet Chambray and the Aidan Foldover Messenger bag before they sell out. I love knowing that my money is going to a good cause!
Her style

I'm totally hooked on Natalie Jean's Get Me Dressed posts. Her style is effortlessly cool and what she's put together for her pre-fall capsule wardrobe is pretty perfect. Head over to her site, Hey Natalie Jean, and you can see and swoon over her other outfits.
Lily Stan Studio
Monday, August 25
Recently, I tackled a very important project. I cleaned out my closet. Every inch of the small space was jammed with stuff, and now I feel so much better that all the clutter is gone. But through the slightly overwhelming process, I learned that I'm missing the everyday staples. This is where Lily Stan Studio comes in.
The woman behind the label is Lily Harris and her timeless designs are part of an ongoing collection that can be layered and worn together interchangeably, regardless of season. Smart, right? The collection is so pretty and each piece is so special. I love the stripe top above. It looks comfy and will help me survive the LA heat for sure. Lily Stan Studio will be launching soon, so I'll be checking the site on a regular basis so I can complete my look. There's a couple of pieces I have my eye on.

Ouur Studio by Kinfolk
Monday, July 21
I want to step into this lookbook from Ouur and have brunch with these people. I want to grab my bike, buy some flowers from the sweetest smelling flower shop in the city, and later, linger in a quaint cafe while sipping my coffee and reading a book. Amazing, right? I really need to make all that happen.
Launched this year, Ouur is Kinfolk's lifestyle studio that offers a seasonal line of clothing and home goods. Kinfolk is one of my favorite magazines, and so it's no surprise that I'm completely enamored with the Autumn/Winter 2014 collection. There's so much goodness and simple elegance here! I can't wait for the linen shirts and hooded jackets to arrive in the U.S. They're only available in Japan, so I'm just going to hope that they're here later in the year.
