I've always had a thing... and when I say a thing, I really mean a completely crushing weakness... when it comes to all things white.  It is such a bold color (or lack of color) and projects confidence and style.  Don't be afraid to pull the whole white on white look.  And ruffles... on the front, the back, and the feet tops off the feminine, yet strong look ...

It was raining... yet again.  And, as there is a time and a place for a classic camel trenchcoat (the time and place just happen to be anytime and anywhere)... I decided my time and place for this fashion staple was now.  I paired it with a vintage animal print dress with a bow tie neckpiece (no need for jewelry) and some thigh high black leather boots with cut-out detailing.  A matte red lip adds ...

After the unending sunny weather we've had here in Santa Barbara, it was nice to finally see some rain... and a perfect excuse to break out my zebra print rain boots.  Umbrellas have a time and a place (usually that time and place is in the rain) and they can be a killer accessory...

There is something that I find irresistibly delicious about a pair of pants that gets so rebelliously wrinkled throughout the day.  Sit down... they crease.  Cross your legs... knee wrinkles.  It is the imperfection of linen that I find so intoxicating.  I love the contrast of the crinkled linen with the crisp lines of the preppy tan blazer.  Also, the touch of unexpected skin makes this a perfect ...
